The Pineapple Express is growing very well, it was in the critical moment, the first "topping" took a minimum but it performed very well and the new brunches are ready together with some beautiful solar panel leaves.

Fed with nutrients 7/19/26

Week 7 of veg and the plants are looking incredible! I've been fine-tuning the air circulation in the grow room to better disperse that hot air layer above the canopy. Holding steady at 28°C with 75% relative humidity. Loving the results with #Atami nutrients, #Dynomyco mycorrhizae, and these potted clones. 🌱💪

We had a good bit of strong wind and rain at he beginning of this week. One of the plants was blown sideways. This week has been hotter but he plants seem to be loving it. I was a little surprised that I had to start feeding these. I'm thinking the nutes were leached out by rain. I found out my ph wasn't as much of an issue as I first suspected. The problem was lack of iron. I added an organic iron supplement and it cleared up the yellowing. It also ph'd my nutrient solution to 6. The tops I took and attempted to clone didn't clone. It was a fun experiment though. Overall a great week. I expect to see some pistils next week.

Overview: In the second week of our grow diary "Schroedinger's Plants," the Tropicana Cookies, Gorilla Zkittlez, and Apple Strudel strains have shown varied yet overall positive growth under controlled conditions. Each strain continues to progress well, with interventions to address minor issues. Plant Specifics: 1. Tropicana Cookies: Growth: The plant height increased from 8 cm to 11.5 cm throughout the week, showing healthy growth. Health: Plant health remained robust, marked by the continued green color stabilization and decrease in vein thickness initially noted. Interventions: Regular doses of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt were administered to maintain nutrition and micronutrient levels. A notable treatment for fungus gnats (Trauermücken) using nematodes was applied early in the week, which required adjustments in watering to facilitate effective nematode deployment. Environmental Conditions: The environment was stable with slight increases in daytime and nighttime temperatures towards the end of the week. 2. Gorilla Zkittlez: Growth: Progressed from 7 cm to 9.5 cm in height by the end of the week. Health: Similar to Tropicana Cookies, this strain exhibited signs of early nutrient issues (thickening of veins and lighter green in new growth) that were effectively managed, leading to improved color and reduced vein prominence. Interventions: Application of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt continued, adjusting as needed based on plant response. Plans to increase PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) were made to encourage stronger growth responses. Challenges: Like the other strains, initial signs of fungus gnat (Trauermücken) were addressed with nematodes. 3. Apple Strudel: Growth: Showed a steady increase from 6.5 cm to 9 cm. Health: Initial challenges with vein thickness and lighter green patches were managed through similar nutrient adjustments as the other strains. Interventions: Consistent nutrient management with Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt helped stabilize growth and coloration. Caught up with the others by the end of the week, after initially lagging slightly behind in growth. Environmental Notes: The plant environment was kept stable, mirroring the conditions of the other strains with slight temperature increases noted towards the week's end. General Observations and Actions: Pest Management: The introduction of nematodes early in the week helped manage the presence of Trauermücken across all plants, a necessary step to prevent infestations. Nutrient Management: The consistent use of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt across all strains helped address minor nutrient imbalances seen as vein thickening and changes in leaf coloration. Environmental Control: Slight increases in temperature and adjustments in humidity levels were monitored to ensure optimal growth conditions. These adjustments were crucial as the plants transition from seedling to more mature vegetative stages. Conclusion: The second week showed promising growth and stability across all strains. While minor issues were quickly addressed through targeted interventions, the overall health of the plants remained strong. Moving forward, the focus will be on maintaining this momentum and carefully monitoring environmental parameters and plant responses to optimize growth. The increase in PPFD will be particularly interesting to follow in terms of its impact on growth rates and overall plant vigor. In week 3 we'll also start with LST-Training the Ladies. Cheers,

Heloooh So this sour tangie is starting to grow realy nicely, it seems that it recoverd good from their transplantation. it's got small branches popping up everywhere . witch will be nice when i start putting them under my hid that's arriving soon. I gave it some alga grow and not seeing burning on the leave's so will probably continue this. Happy with my grow so far let's hope these plants grow big in flowering, they got a nice base so far. Greetings Bawzs

Heute morgen sieht die Pflanze sehr gut aus Wurzeln Zuwachs und die Blätter sind straff nach oben gestellt, habe zusätzlich noch etwas Silizium hinzufügt. Top 🌱🔨 Nice Day allen!

I'll be updating the comment with the daily log shortly, but figured I'd get the photos and weekly overview up. I started off this week with a topping at about the 4th node, leaving the larger fan leaves on for now. I then left then alone for a bit while I waited for the new branches at the nodes to grow out, rotating as needed. By the end of the week, they had all bushed back up with new foliage and growth. I also included photos pf the flowering mother plant to keep up with that sneak peak. She still wasn't showing signs of flowering, so I gave her an extra 24 hours of darkness to hopefully kick start the process. As I went to go shut unplug the light source, I noticed that there was a smaller light leak from one of the vent ports, so I also made sure to close that up. At the end of the week when she started to show signs of flowering, I defoliated her to help with light penetration, as she's got massive fan leaves. You'll see in the photos that I took that opportunity to decarb the trim as well. I'm sure there's little to no THC-A, but whatever other compounds are present should make for a nice addition to some butter later on down the road. I just won't factor it in when approximating the potency of the final product.

Week 8 day 56. Trichomes are turning milky, most still clear. I should of defoliated before but this being my 1st auto flower and me being a newbie I didn't want to take the chance. Lessons learnt for next time. Day 61. Approaching 9 week mark. Buds are getting frosty. Not sure if I should give more nutrient or just continue topping up with water. No sign of amber. Pistils on top buds are changing to brown.

Alles wächst! Ich flechte die Triebe fleißig ein, so dass alle etwa auf der gleichen Höhe sind und der Abstand zur Lampe maximal bleibt. Blätter die Triebe beschatten kommen weg. Am 08.04 wurde gedüngt. Hab auch Top Max hinzugefügt, da ich noch eine Flasche davon rumstehen hab. Ob das notwendig ist? I don‘t know! 10.04: Alle Triebe die es nicht geschafft haben zum Scrog Gitter zu kommen wurden entfernt. Blätter die Triebe bedeckt haben kamen auch weg! 12.04: jetzt 2 Wochen Urlaub… Kumpel kümmert sich. Lets see!

I didn’t take pictures before defoliation but these pics are from after the fact So you can only imagine. So many bud sites she should be stacked!!! The game plan is to move her into a 5 gallon once I get a chance this week. Glacial, 2-8-4 and some kelp meal will be used.

And we are done! Both plants have now been chopped after 48hours darkness. Now currently drying. I will post some close up harvest shots once bud is dry :)

this grow stretched a t least an extra week my last 2 grows were ripe in 8 weeks .There re no hermi flowers and its going to be at minimum 9 weeks mabe 10 to get ripe .dont know why it stretched into week 6 of flower when its normally 4 weeks stretching the buds are now getting filled in and solid just have to wait i guess

Day 15, having a right week of it!!! Thought I was on top of the chlorosis (Thinking Ca/Mg issue) and then I start getting issues that make the plants look like they're getting N Toxicity!!! Now, in all fairness, by fixing the Ca/Mg issue, I may have created an N issue - My CalMag does appear to have N in it - @Shogun any helpful ideas here for me please??? :) What getting me is plants are drinking (Not massive amounts, but they are drinking), EC is staying stable and have standard pH drift of about 0.1/day towards neutral, this should be bang on. Roots are good as they're popping through bottom of the root pouch/air pruner pots (These are 12L each so a number of roots are over 6inches long this would mean) and growing into the run off water (I may mod my Wilma and make it a psuedo bubbler too but then this may cause all sorts of issues with my expected water volumes, etc.!!!). Wondering if anyone on here has had issues with either wind burn (From a 7" oscillating fan) or seen low humidity issues in veg that could maybe help? I am going to grab a humidifier for the tent (Should be here Wednesday) to see if that helps (Liberally spraying the place with pH adjusted water, added open water sources to the tent, etc.). Also, with the roots popping through, may grab some Sensizym to clean up dead root material & fulvic to ensure no salt build up round the roots. As I am stumped by what I am seeing (Things seem to contradict each other), I ran 2L of pH adjusted water through each plant on Sunday 30th and held of feeding to ensure salt build-up wasn't happening in the clay, round the roots. This has topped the tank back off to around 50L, brought my CF down to 10 (1ec) and I dropped feeds to 3 per day (15mins after lights on for 15mins, 1 in the middle of the cycle and 1x15 near lights off). The fact there was no EC upping with such a small amount of water, again makes me think the "Nute Burn" isn't caused by the feeding and possibly by humidity (or lack there off - it can get down to 35% in there). I know it goes against all the SOP's, but in general, the air coming out of my tent is cool; It does go into the main room where the tent is, but is a large cabin and has the door open most of the day with kids running in and out of the other room (I have a security gate to keep them out!!! :P Also, the airflow crosses my ballast, keeping it cold to the touch); until the humidifier arrives, can i recirc the air back into the tent to up the humidity? I have a dehumidifier in the room (On but set to 90) to check the humidity in the main room and it is creeping up (Was at 63% there when I was re-doing LST while tent was at 44%). My lights on period is 4pm to 10am but don't want to turn the fan off as the tent is beside a SW facing wall so is getting heat for a couple of hours before Sundown (around 9pm now). Or, would it do much damage to change to 6pm to noon for lights on? Don't want more of a shock to their system as they've settled into 18/6 from a 24hr under CFL at seedling. Again, anyone who sees this and may be able to help, please do! Day 19 and 21 added
