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!

Was out of town all week and came back to find the CBD Star in my space bucket not looking good. It looks like a phosphorus deficiency but not entirely sure. Yellow leaves with brown/black spots and dark red/purple stems. I flushed it with 2 gallons 6.5 pH water, re-fertilized, put it out in the sun and defoliated. I defoliated pretty heavily since many of the fan leaves were yellowed and blocking light from the lower bud sites. The center was also getting pretty dense so I carefully removed some of the leaves to help with airflow. Despite the stress, It seems to have bounced back reasonably well. There’s probably irreparable damage given the level of yellowing but the buds continue to grow and thicken. Cheese has absolutely exploded and looks great. It probably doubled in height last week with many bud sites on the 5 main stalks. Excited to see how it turns out.

So I've started adding nutes to their water. I usually never use a full dose of FoxFarm Grow Big because I've had some bad reactions when I did. They perked right up so like I suspected last week, they'd almost consumed all the nutes that came in the FoxFarm soil I'm using. I'm hoping this is the grow that finally doesn't almost give me an early heart attack like all the others 🤣😂😂🤣❤️😍💕

This week again had some challenges with power and humidity but we push on. The ladies are getting seriously frosty and start to fatten up. They all looking good but the Lemon Zkittles is most impressive. Also the one pheno of Gorrila Cookies is frosty frosty frosty. But all the plants are looking good and stacking on buds nicely. Looking forward to harvesting in a couple of weeks. Here to hoping no more power or humidity issues, only fat and tasty buds ahead

6/9 fed. 6/11 attempted to water but I'm holding off to see what we get for rain. Things are finally looking up. Very frustrating not being able to load vids. 6/12 first video uploaded. 6/13 still doing research and trying to decide whether or not to move the grow. My cousin seems to think things are fine. I've still got research to do. Camera app went down for a bit but everything is up and running. Plants are looking good! 6/14 watered and Fed plants 3tsp big bloom. 1tsp grow big, 1tsp calmag, 1/2 micro brew, 1/2 kangoroots. Plants are greatly improving. I still see some wind burn. I've gotten mixed reviews on whether or not to move the entire grow. Local seasoned growers and family members that have seen the setup and location tell me to leave it where it is. People online seem to think it's better to move the entire grow. I'm leaning towards the "if it's not broke dont fix it" attitude. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed.

It was a week with a lot of activity. First of all, she had her first full week of flowering and did a bit of a stretch. Also I switched her to the left side of the tent, to space the plants more evenly. We are getting to a canopy, although one of her roommates probably is male and will be removed. More about this when I update my Xtrakushh Diary. Also had time to fit the scrognet. It fits way better than last grow, much tighter. We had some problems with the lighting. I probably hit my timer with one of my sausage fingers, making my lights turn on in the middle of the night, thank god I found it out in time. They maybe had an hour or two of light for one night. Still something she really doesn't need with this strains tendency to hermie under stress. She still looks happy. Did some gentle leaf tucking, some LST under the net, and a little defoliation. The branches might be short but they are very sturdy and should be able to carry large and heavy buds. And we had won the @Sweet_Seeds Halloween give-away and got to choose three of their legendary strains: Tropicanna Poison, Red Hot Cookies and Runtz XXL auto!! Thanks guys!!! We shall see where it leads... Thank you for checking in again and don't forget the Black Friday Superdeals on https://www.mars-hydro.com!! See you at other diaries or next week! Hug Bud and Sunshine

Hello world! It was the last week before the harvest for my strong and hardy bush dark phoenix. I continue to clean the substpat with water with the right level of ph Today is the last day of the purge. At the end, the water off plant was close to 200 ppm, which corresponds to the level of my drinking water. I'm watering the last time today and turning off the lights for 2-3 days, making the flowers extra stressful, and directing the remnants of fertilizer and salts to the root system. Please watch photos and video of the last week. The flowers turned out to be very dense and medium-sized with about a tangerine. Smell with northern notes, menthol, citron, earthy smell. 🍀😇🤗👌

Day 36: Feed this morning but kind of switched out Bud Blood for Igniter. The Buds are growing. My training skills are weak and I'm completely overwhelmed trying to even start defoliation. Kind of like an ok parent but don't care if your kids need a haircut and when you take em to the shop they cry when the barber combs to cut. Besides that though my 1st grow is pretty epic. Looking @ what I've been doing and seeing them from seed to what I have now. I don't know the formula for life but maybe this gives me The Blueprint. (D.O.C & Jay-z like). Observing and watching the light's and Temps. Trying to stay in that 85 degree 54% humidity range. Shout out to Weedexpress for checking my grow. All Seeds germinated!!! Day 37: Think I have been over-feeding my plants so fed them....lol yep just a solution of sensi-cal,Voodo, B-2, Superbud xfactor and mikes og tea......no more bud blood and gonna ride out with the igniter. Woke up an hour b4 they did and snatched each one out the tent and defoliated. Each one I spent about 20 minutes on defoliating and getting rid of bottom layer. They looked a bit lollipopish and getting ready to cast this net. I have some huge branches and some of the buds are starting to look like the picture you see in the grows. I really am appreciating the work that it takes and the thought behind growing. 9ish: starting some training and pulled the branches down, tied and put some trainers of 2 of my plants. I got plans to train my GC's since they are stretching. That canopy is pretty open so think gonna get good light inside canopy! Thinking about my next feeding 2morrow, which usually equates to when I get off work. I'm gonna stay with my veg base and go again with Bud Blood. I like the way it made my buds kind of dazzle into sun burst buds. I'm pretty dialed into my veg mixture and am going to start mixing in a 5 gallon jug only to ensure that I have enough for 2 feeds. My plants are really devouring these nutrients and have had very little nutrition burn. Trying to make sure that my root system is healthy so that I can get a decent yield to hold me over the winter. Of course with the winter comes the holiday season and what better gift to give 420 candy canes sprinkled with kief....these are a few of my favorite things!!!!! When the leaves shake When the Buds break I'm feeling crank I simply remember my favorite things And then I just smoke.... my dank!!!! Day 40: igniter definitely creates more bud blooms areas...my growth is so thick and the buds pretty big. Got a feeding lined up in the morning and probably gonna with heavy feeding and touch all my roots. Going heavy on igniter again. My grow lights beneath the canopy is doing amazing work as the buds beneath are also amazingly big. Also spay with a mix of Grease and Green Goddess maybe twice a day to keep nutrition in the foliage. Day 41 or 42 and possibly even 43: Somewhere but I'm in my 2nd week of flower and working this week on Igniting my grow b4 going into OverDrive. Gave an honest feeding a day later than normal. The Buds are popping and you can kind of see what the Bud Ignite is doing as far as the multiple bloom locations are a plenty. Went with the net but took back down, want more height and not disturb the current situation but have a feeling will need it a bit later to help with these heavy bud limbs! Day 47: So my babies have bigs buds and an issue. Defoliation day was ah coming and did I have to cut. Spent like 20 minutes on each plant cutting, 🍭 'n and manicuring. They are incredibly stout and stretching. Got a few more feeds b4 I flush so gonna stick with the Overdrive and Ignite. Day 48: fed da girls and went with Bud Blood instead of Ignite. Day 49: so I'm checking out my grow and for some reason I grabbed some water only....just felt like I've been so caught up in the nutrients forgetting basics. So since in the last 3 weeks gonna concentrate on budding and k Defoliation. My buds are definitely gonna be huge and ripe. So getting closer to curing and got a bunch of huge mason jars @ TJ Max. For curing along with Bovida 65% packs. As for a drying tent gonna go with hanging in paper bags. Getting into curing mode so that when these are ready I can get my FF's potted and 🎄 grow on. I want to clone a few if these FF's 4sure for Christmas gifts and have plenty of holiday cheer to share.

Ladies are smelling strong and ready to be harvested. Chopping Venezia to be hung out to be dried tonight. Cheech can still go another day or two under the light with the lower pistols still a little blush.

[Day 47] 08/13/21 - It's hard to believe these are all the same strain. Looks like 4 phenotypes at play. They all have differences in growth type, smell and size. #4 has zero trichomes so far and not the most pleasant scent. The others have a very pleasant smell with subtle differences between them.

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers or advice

Quand on contrôle un peut mieux le coco on arrive a tout que des résultats selon moi car pour ma première fois je trouve qu'il y as vraiment une grosse différence sur le développement en végétation vs terre . Agréablement surpris . Je suis présentement a 770 ppm avec un run off de 25-30% au alentour de 235 ppm et ca roule très bien . Ne vous gêner pas pour des conseille ses ma première pousse en coco. Je passe as 1100 ppm demain j'espère tout va bien se passé souhaitez moi bonne chance .

Today, day 23 was the last repotting. Girls went from 11.6L to a 20L pot. Now there in the right place, serious things can begin ! I planned to top the girls on wednesday or thursday. It will depends on hos they will recover. Actually, it's my first time with smartpots. If smartpots have a lot of advantages, repotting is not one of them ! I made a mistake : the plants were 60% dry, and abviously, it was not a good idea ! It should be clearly moist. Nextime I think I will water the girls 1 hour before repotting. I hope it will be ok and they will recover from this tough moment.... Will see in a few days 😰😨 Anyway, I have generously watered them right after repotting with no nutrient. Juste clear water with the right Ph. As they are in some brand new light-mix medium, I thought they have enough nutrient for a at least 2 or 3 days. D-25 : Everything is ok. Girls seems to have recover very well :) Anyway, I'll wait at least one more day before topping. D-26 : Topping the girls. Hope everything is going to ok... Also feeding the girls right after the top. During the topping process, the plants were reduced from 25cm to 12cm.
