Fo' Twenny here with an update on the our Pineapple Express Autoflower from Fastbuds!
9/5: She has been growing VIGOROUSLY since she sprouted 8/15. She is healthy, green, and is the TALLEST plant in the garden. She is already starting to push out pistils too! Today, I transplanted from the 16oz solo cup into a one gallon Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square Pot, 8" Tall. I innocculate at the root zone using .5 tsp Mycos from Extreme Gardening .5 tsp Recharge. I sprinkled some White Dutch Clover seed around the top of the pot for a cover crop.
BAD NEWS:
Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce! Welp, looks like it's time to upgrade the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light.
RHIZOSPHERE:
.25 tsp/gal Blue Planet Gold Shield Silica Supplement
.25 tsp/gal Fox Farm Gringo Rasta Cal-Mag
1.5 tsp/gal BigBloom
.25 tsp/gal Boomerang
.125 tsp/gal Wholly Mackerel
1 tsp/gal Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide compare to Hydroguard
PPM: 749
pH: 6.4

Yeah, Iโm thinking itโs from the new light. Iโm having issues adjusting my bloomspect full spec white light. I have that and my regular (blurple) led in my tent right now, adjusting every damn day now lol.
@MrJones, I wish they had day by day updates within each week. I'd be all over that. That way I can better document my feeds too since the may change throughout the week. Sometimes I will flush between feedings or sometimes I still feed with a diluted mix. It depends on what the plants in my garden are telling me. Anyways, sorry for the rant! Cheers and happy growing!
@MrJones, It hasn't been a week yet... So, I have just been adding to current week. Monday is just around the corner. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@MrJones, I just realize I'd put the wrong date on those photos. I corrected now. I had taken new ones when I reported her on 9/5. The solo cup photos was 9/3. She's growing so fast!
@MrJones, She's at least as twice as tall as the next tallest plant in the tent. This is the first FastBuds strain I have run. I am really impressed by her vigor!
@MrJones, I cannot believe how much faster she has grown than all the photperiods and the other auto-flowers (even though the Zkittles had a later start).
Hey, @FoTwenny so my thoughts on the fox tailing, typically 3 variables that lend to this are Temps, Light (too much), and genetics I cannot speak on the breeding of this plant but when I grew it I did not experience fox tailing, your temperatures are not too hot, so maybe this girl is not liking the amount of the light - you mentioned that you are only halfway through your flower stage but I think that is no correct, Fastbuds Pineapple Express is a 10 week from seed to harvest, mine took part of 13 weeks, but I also feel it was slowed because I stunted it a bit with my aggressive training.
You can always move your plant to the edge of the light where the PFD is at its lowest and see if it helps, you may want to reach out to Fast buds - it really looks great, as all your plants do!
@MrJones, Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some feedback! Ahhh 10 week seed to harvest... Looked like it was just a 9-10 week bloom period from the website. That would make more sense to me. I appreciate your help! Happy growing my friend!
Great detail as always. I dont know where you get the time.. Or mabe i should say i am impressed on how you manage your time.. I am rubbish.. Keep it up @FoTwenny๐
Yo FoTwenny
Got a couple of seeds for these as freebies on last order ^^ if the results tempt me over ill follow up with a go on these, so do your best!
Looking great so far, next couple of weeks should be some nice progress pics on those pistils!
Peace out,

@OrganicConnoisseur420,She's a strong lady, I just transplanted her a couple days ago, but need to get back in the garden today to see how she's doing. Hoping a little more room to stretch her legs will allow her to reach her full potential!
Looking good FT. I loved the smell of this in late bloom. It was very heavy on the tropical citrus for me. Great smoke as well. Good luck the rest of the way with her.
@Treighfunky, Thanks dude! I am stoked to roll a few blunts and watch Pineapple Express while smoking some Pineapple Express. I am weird. Don't mind me!
@Smartie, No offense taken kind sir! You're good, if you start calling me dude and bro too much I might make some weird facial expressions, but I see no need to correct you. Hehe. Anyway, thanks I always appreciate a compliment on my garden! Cheers!
