Week 4 flower : everything’s looking nice still got the lights about 7-9” from top of canopy without any issues . The humidity has gone up to 50% in day and I can’t really get it any lower I’ve already got a dehumidifier so don’t want to get another one . I would like to lower to 40-45% and lower for last 2 weeks but can’t see that happening . I’ve started the pk from end of week 4 (day 28 )at 1ml per litre this took my ec to 2.2 I will see how it goes and maybe up it to 1.2-1.5 and I’m going to use the pk for 7-14 days then I will start the flush I also lowered the silicone to 0.5ml per litre 3x blue cheese plants are on the left but has spread over and 1x sunset sherbet on the right

I would reccomend growing her in soil the coco made her a bit too wild

I used the glass of water technique, soaked it for 18 hours then transferred it to moist paper towel (paper towel method) put it on a plate and placed it on a dark and warm area and spray water once the paper towel goes dry. 2-3 days until the seed crack and reveals its tail then i planted it on my medium.

Der Stretch zeigt sich und die ersten Haare sind auch schon da. In dieser Woche nochmal entlauben und in der nächsten Woche ein kleines Lollypopping. Soweit bin ich zufrieden.

Same old, Same old. I know these images are horrible because of the lighting, i did not take these pictures with this website in mind. 😂🤷‍♂️🏽

- Week 6 - ----- Day 36 ----- No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow. Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away. ----- Day 37 ----- Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up. Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly. Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up. **UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used. I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research. No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one. ----- Day 38 ----- Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off. What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding). I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud. I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid. Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat. **Update** Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end. ----- Day 39 ----- Everything is great. Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again. This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil. I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is. *** Update *** Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down. Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage. I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake. That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science. Don't even get me started on names. What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf. That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!! If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy, Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake? YES, it is. Is it better? YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name. That's dumb. And you should feel bad. Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck! 99.99% of plant names are Latin. Anyways... back to the point... I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins. This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering. Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production. Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning. It's insanely obvious somethings changed. I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but: 1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up. 2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight. Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician. Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time. One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition. I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield. God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy. ----- Day 40 ----- Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L Plants are doing great. **Update** Little fun video from mid light cycle. Roughly 20-25 days left. Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful. ----- Day 41 ----- Easy day. Here's some pics. Just basically have to watch the grass grow today. ----- Day 42 ----- Big photo day, used ruler for most shots. End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow. Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off. Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7. Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks. We will see. **Update** Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

Almost

Plante are recovering slowly I’m really happy with new nutrients plant are looking better I should have waited for total recover before flowering stage anyway nice buds are getting bigger

Biggest Autoflower Ever - Pineapple Express was the GOAT. 479 Grams Dry Weight, 78 Days from seed to Harvest Was a big surprise having almost a HALF KILOGRAM FROM AUTOFLOWER, Always thought 500 grams per square meter description was a legend but no, IT CAN BE TRUE Good luck to all my grower fellas, I will not stop on growing in hydro, even tho half of this run was in handmade hydro. It was my third hydro Grow and I see the Improvement Last one was only 300 Grams dry weight Strawberry Banana from FB Pinepple Express itself is a 10/10 strain, it says mostly Indica but feels like the best Sativa I have ever tried, great pineapple smell and taste, hits like Mike Tyson, perfect strain and YUMMY as hell, loved it, will grow it again probably as it's not only mine favorite strain. Cheers Fellas, good grows and big yields to everyone!

Plant is absolutely cranking now. It's so bushy. I hope I have time soon to do some defoliation and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.

First grow running three autos in a 2x2x4 in 3 gallons prolly should only did two but i plant on heavy lst. As much as possible so wish me luck yall

Ok so this week after weeks of extreme sunshine and warmth and humidity at tops without any rain ( had to water thems every day ) and this week I feel the growth has slowed down a bit because of all this rain! It’s been raining every day and not just a little ! Overwatering from Mother Nature ! Still a good week tho because my baby is doing fine ! NO pest at all to signal ... Guess im 🍀

Tag 77 / Blüte Tag 17 Endlich ist das Fenster zu gebrauchen Die Pflanzen stehen hervorragend da. Der dreistellige Zentimeterbereich ist geknackt – 1-Meter-Marke erreicht! 🎉 Allen voran die White Gushers 33, die aktuell minimal die Nase vorn hat. Die Kush ist etwa einen Zentimeter kleiner, wirkt insgesamt etwas heller und noch nicht ganz so weit. Die Gushers zeigt sich dagegen schon deutlich weiter, was Reife und Lichtreaktion angeht. Der Stretch läuft spürbar aus. Genau so, wie er soll. Ein paar Zentimeter dürfen es von mir aus noch sein – aber bitte jetzt nicht mehr eskalieren 😅 Meine Wunschhöhe lag eigentlich bei 96 cm😉, die ist inzwischen überschritten, aber gut: Das Zelt lebt noch, ich auch. Ein Umknicken möchte ich nach Möglichkeit vermeiden, und aktuell sieht es so aus, als würde die Energie jetzt endlich in die Breite und Struktur gehen. Erste Anzeichen einer Stretch-Verlangsamung sind klar erkennbar. Blütentechnisch sind wir bei Tag 17. Die Pflanzen sind inzwischen deutlich mit Härchen (Pistillen) versehen, die Blütenansätze sind klar sichtbar – und genau deshalb warte ich mit dem großen Eingriff noch ein paar Tage. Der Friseurtermin ist aber fest eingeplant: Es wird Zeit, die Klingen zu schärfen ✂️ Die Entlaubung wird kein Spaß, da ist ordentlich Material dran. Ziel ist ganz klar: Luft, Licht, Fokus auf die Blüten. In der kommenden Woche steht dann auch wieder eine Mikroben-Gabe an. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sie darauf reagiert – idealerweise genau dann, wenn sie voll in der aktiven Blütenproduktion angekommen ist. Einen weiteren Wachstumsschub brauche ich jetzt definitiv nicht mehr. Jetzt darf sie liefern. Und dann dieser Moment: Das Fenster im Growzelt macht endlich Sinn. Man schaut rein – und sieht nicht mehr nur Grün und Stretch, sondern direkt davor echte Blütenbildung. Das ist diese Phase, auf die man Wochen lang hinarbeitet. Eine richtig schöne Zeit im Grow. Ich freue mich sehr auf die kommende Blütephase. Jetzt beginnt der Teil, für den man das alles macht 🌸✨ Finally, the window actually makes sense” The plants are looking excellent. We’ve crossed into the three-digit centimeter range — the one-meter mark is done! 🎉 Leading the way is White Gushers 33, which is currently just a bit ahead. The Kush is about one centimeter shorter, slightly lighter in color, and overall doesn’t seem quite as far along yet. The Gushers, on the other hand, already looks a bit more advanced, especially in how it’s responding to the light. The stretch is clearly slowing down now — exactly how it should. A few more centimeters would still be fine, but no more wild growth, please 😅 My target height was originally 96 cm, which we’ve now unfortunately exceeded. Still, everything is under control. I’d really prefer not to bend her over again, and right now it looks like the energy is finally shifting from vertical growth into width and structure. The first clear signs of reduced stretching are definitely there. In terms of flowering, we’re at Day 17 overall. The plants are now clearly covered in pistils, with visible bud sites forming — which is why I’ll wait a few more days before doing the major cut. That said, the hairdresser appointment is already scheduled: the blades need sharpening ✂️ There’s going to be a lot of defoliation. Plenty of material on these plants. The goal is clear: better airflow, better light penetration, and full focus on flower development. Sometime next week, the next microbial feeding is planned. I’m really curious to see how they respond — ideally right when they’re fully locked into active flower production, so they can really use that boost. Another growth push is the last thing I want at this stage. And then there’s this moment: The grow tent window finally makes sense. You look inside, and instead of just green stretch, you now see actual flower formation right in front of you. This is the phase you wait weeks for. A really beautiful part of the grow. I’m genuinely looking forward to the coming flowering phase. This is where it all comes together 🌸✨

I had the most brilliant moment ever. I ve been setting up the drip system for the first time with the runoff going into the ebb and flood system reservoir. I did not take into the account the syphononing effect of the pumps and that the reservoir water level has to be below the plants. I had two hours to leave for my flight, because I was going on a vacation. So I jumped online and found a way to make pressure regulator from piece of tube and t connector. It did well for the whole 10 days I was away. I'm really proud of my self :))))

Its been amazing watching them grow in the first week 😍 Lets go for week 2 🤞 I think they look a bit heat stressed so i raise the lamp a few centimeters.. Day 8- 100ml Water Day10- 400ml Water Day 12- 1L Water + 0.7 ml Root Fast Day 13 -----> I gave the same amount of water to all 4 plants last time but #1 and #2 look overwater i think... #3 has a diferent structure and a bit darker, probably because the soil is to rich. Big Bud is looking perfect 😍

Let's start this epic chalange :) 😍😍42 days to birhtday my son <3 <3 <3 😍😍

Learned a lot from this grow and am very happy with the results. Pulled 2.8 Oz and 1.1 Oz of trim/popcorn buds in a one gallon pot. Definitely wont be doing that again, but had a lot of fun throughout the entire process. Going to be starting another grow soon! Very excited for that.

First week indoors done !!! And they BULK ;) Love it !!! Trichs stacking well, they don't look so leafy anymore and overall it will be nice result with wild forest strawberry flavour ... Finishing indoors - works !!! Middle of the week. Girls drink like crazy, bulks up and looking really nice, just watered and thinking its the one before last one .... Loads of dead leaves, they eat themself nicely and will award me with clean smoke at the end .. Wild forest strawberry smell faded away tho, a bit sad, maybe he is still in the bud . 5th day of week. They are ready !!! Checked all plants, first ambers, even fresh pistils here and there, loads of fan leaves where eaten, plants just finished perfect. Purple colours here and there and full maturity in my eyes. Still one more light watering, 48 hours of darkness and chop hopefully on sunday, next wednesday - latest. Happy growing !
