So; it's been a bit more than a week since Harvest & we are, more than ready, to finally Flip these Pineapple Express Ladies. #1 Son took the lead on Nutes. & it seems we're going w/ the same regiment we used on the last flower. We've added a Microbial Mass that can be used from seedling through flower & as these PE Girls have been on the same schedule as the clones, I feel it's worth reporting that everybody has been gobbling up everything we give them.
On the last water I did, I reported that I was actively looking to dial in quantities for the clones as they continued to spit-up w/ each water. I had also reported that the Pineapple Express Girls had spit-up for the first time. Two things that came right to the front as #1 took the lead was that, he has been far more keen to monitor for "Dry Conditions", whereas I typically water, without fail, every 3 - 4 days. Also, the addition of the Microbial Mass seems to have made a significant difference w/ their ingestion & utilization, (of water / nutes.) & that goes for everyone, all the clones as well.
#1 also took the lead on the trim. We've "Palm-Tree'd" the plants prior to flower, each time & actually are far more interested in creating a SCROG, if I'm honest; but with this Flower we decided to stick to what's been working. Since these girls have had only a single, main stock, they're definitely looking a little naked. I gotta' add that I've never seen the boy more confident, w/ the yield we took from the last flower, it's a very exciting time!
The "Lab-Tent" is finally looking like a Lab! We've taken on two more seeds for a family friend, one is "Sugar Black Rose" & the second is "Blue Dream", we took 13 New Clones from PE Trimmings & also learned that 6 Plants makes for a very crowded bottom half of the Lab-Tent ... & we have 13 Brand-New, potential Clones ... 😬😬😬
We plan to Flip this coming Sunday, making the 14th Day #1, of an 8 week flower. We certainly could have flipped these girls earlier, they've been more than ready for a couple of weeks, yet w/ the difficulty they've had, (because I'm a total newb.), I've been more than happy to leave them alone to get Big, Bushy & Healthy. Here's to hoping! Taking these ladies from seed has been a remarkable experience & I'm so very grateful for the opportunity, the help, encouragement & all that we've learned along the way.
