Hey growers, welcome back to the Pineapple Upside Down grow journal — week 17 of veg. The plant keeps showing solid, consistent growth week after week. Her structure is getting stronger, and the canopy’s really starting to fill out nicely. Leaves are broad, green, and vibrant — a sign that she’s fully balanced and comfortable in her environment. Nutrient uptake looks perfect; the roots are clearly doing their job. I decided to raise the EC slightly, moving up to 1.8, since she’s been drinking more and showing signs of higher demand. pH remains stable, and the overall system is clean, well oxygenated, and running smoothly. For now, there’s no sign of deficiencies or stress. Everything’s running exactly as planned. I’m still unsure whether I’ll top her before moving to flower. That decision will depend on the final height and how much space she takes once she’s ready to transition into the flowering box. At this point, I prefer to let her develop naturally, focusing on strength and branch structure rather than manipulation. This phase is all about preparing her for a smooth transition into bloom, with maximum vigor and balanced nutrition. So for now, patience and observation. Next week should mark the last phase before flowering, and from there, things are going to get a lot more interesting. See you next week, growers — keep it clean, keep it green, and stay consistent. Peace

Por lejos este ha sido mi mejor cultivo hasta ahora, han sido los cogollos más grandes, densos y llenos de tricomas que he cultivado, comparado con el cultivo anterior en el que usé el mismo tipo de planta, está vez fue muy superior. Los motivos de la mejora pueden ser varios, incluidos más luz, ya que en el cultivo anterior solo tuve 480w, ahora fueron 720w, también usé tutores y palitos de madera para crear una estructura firme en algunas plantas, y fueron estás mismas las que tuvieron los cogollos más grandes, así que lo usaré en todas las plantas del siguiente cultivo. Además el tiempo de cultivo se redujo de 4 meses a 3 meses y medio, aprox. Ahora solo queda esperar unas 2 semanas para el secado y ver cuánto fue la cosecha total en gramos secos, la anterior fue de 635 gramos secos, está yo creo que por lo menos rondará los 700 gramos secos, incluso puede que me sorprenda y sea mucho más.

🎄🎄🎄 Good day, bud lowers 👨‍❤️‍👨 👨‍❤️‍👨 👨‍❤️‍👨 👨‍❤️‍👨 🌲 Continues to stretch the girls in ScrOG. Within a week, the plant bummed to growth, look what happened! 🌲 ✂️ I do defoliation once a week, because it is difficult to fit such a plant under the net. ✂️ 💚 The buds are gaining mass really fast. I was surprised comparing Monday and Friday pictures. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅ Harvest is coming. Therefore, the last watering with fertilizers will be next week, then only clean water and delicious things like sugar. ✅✅ 🙈 Are you ready to guess the result? In this report, the variety is revealed in full force. 🙈 🌲 Almost all trichomes are cloudy, there are practically no amber ones. New stigmas are still springing up. 🌲 ☢️ The plant very actively began to take nutrients from the leaves - the yellowness is noticeable. ☢️ 🌝 Please check this week pictures and small video I made for you .,🐛

Was a difficult week, because the plant was at the very back. I got some small % of bud rot. Very small. Buds are very dense. Dripping in trichomes. Colorful, and very stinky. What a beauty.

Night 87 since seed touched soil. In total darkness, after work i came to check huge rain damage - found bud rot. #1 goes down. Day 94. Last two girls are down, this summer adventure is over ! If early spring, in theory you can have two auto harvests easy, even in UK ... Happy Growing !!!

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21. Started to germinate the seed. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-23. Seed germinated and put in small pot in the humidity dome. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-27.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30.

Diary Legend: 💧- Watered 🌱- Seedling 🥦- Vegging 🌷- Flowering 🌲- Cut Down 🍃- Defoliation ✂️- Topping or FIM'ING 🚂- Training (LST) 💩- Fertilized 🆕🏠 - New Home (transplant) Wk6 11/21/21: Day 36. Plant is looking mighty fine, definitely one great strain to grow. Someday I'd like to see her natural shape, as I could see it being one nice bushy baby. I still need to perform some defoliation and cutting of branches, but it's alright for now. I will defoliate in a day or two, and then follow up with the cuttings a little while after. I still haven't decided if I'm going to clone the cuttings or not. I am lazy enough that I don't want to, but I'm frugal enough to not want to waste good buds. I probably will clone them. If I have room to stuff them in the flower tent, I will. If not, I'll have to grow them out a bit, and then flower them when I can. 11/22/21: Day 37. ✂️🍃 Defoliated and cut some branches, the 6 that were big enough were dipped in rooting gel, and placed in rooting cubes. Now resting inside the humidity dome. Once rooted and transplanted, allow a bit of time to veg, and then move over into the flower tent. If there is no room, see if Crit wants some, and Josh as well. Plant definitely needs watering, which I will administer later on this evening. 11/23/21: Day 38. 💧Love the way this plant explodes with growth, this bugger doesn't seem to want to stop. Hoping at least one of those clones roots, so I can see what an untouched branched will flower into. If I ever get these seeds again, I will definitely grow one out that is untouched, I'm curious to see it's natural shape. At only 6 weeks of life, this guy is already bigger than my previous photoperiods at 8 weeks old. Those yielded around 3 ounces each, so I'm expecting a lot more from this one. I will be defoliating most of the leaves on colas, hopefully forcing them to bulk up the buds. It's a technique I've been reading about, and would like to give it a shot. Gave a fair dose of water, but I don't think the entire media was saturated. That is something I find difficult with Gaia Green. Watering to a little runoff is easy, and a simple way to tell if it's completely saturated or not. Since I don't want runoff, I feel as if I'm using a lot less water than I should be. I plan on buying some Coco coir soon, and that I know I will be needing to water a lot more often, which is fine with me. I may even eventually switch over to an automated watering system. Only gravity fed, with drip emitters, that way it's on autopilot for 3 weeks at a time, minus the tweaking of leaves and branches. That would be ideal, eventually, especially with autos, then I can literally do sweet f**k all with the plants. Even if I don't get an automated watering system setup, I still want to switch over to a Coco coir and sunshine mix combo. I may even use some Coco outside with my outdoor plants, but not likely, as the sand is already very quick drying. 11/25/21: Day 40. The only issue I have with this plant, is that I don't get to grow it as big as I'd like to. It still feels like it's going to be one heavy producer though, the way it grows like crazy. We will see how it reacts to the flip into flower 9 or 10 days from now. I will continue to train some branches to keep it spread out. I really wish I was able to go back and redo this one, have it handled better from the start, and grow it out by itself. I will be defoliating in the next few days, and also removing any small shoots that cannot be trained back inwards. 11/27/21: Day 42. 💧Plant is still looking amazing. It is definitely time for another haircut, but I will leave that for tomorrow morning, so it has less time to regrow a bunch of leaves before the flip. One week left, I can't wait. I'm curious to see how much this stretches during flower. I will be tying more branches down as needed, and will now start training the new shoots inwards, to fill out any gaps.

This week was uneventful. I fed them Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Iguana Juice Grow @ 0.5oz/gal and gave them about 1/2gal each. I gave them a light watering each day to keep the top soil moist and add a bit of humidity. 2/4 are in pots about 150gal, one is in a 100gal or so, and one is in a 5ish gallon pot. They are just cruising along, enjoying the ride. See y'all in a week!

14/02/22: the plants have had their final defolitation so they can really concentrate on building bigger buds in the final weeks before harvest. Some colas look ready and others not... have had to add my garden sticks to support the plants.
