Week 21 of the Pineapple Upside Down has been a slow, steady week of adaptation. Nothing dramatic happened, but this phase is crucial, because the plant is still adjusting to the new light spectrum. At the start of the week, I had bumped the PPFD up to around 500. But it became obvious pretty quickly that she wasn’t handling that intensity well. The apex looked tired, the leaves were curling downward like a soft saddle, and the whole plant was signaling that the metabolic shift wasn’t complete yet. So I made the decision to step the intensity back down to 300 PPFD. A gentler light, less metabolic pressure, and a better environment for the plant to recalibrate after the spectrum change. These adaptation phases always take time— forcing it only delays the recovery. Over the next few days, I started noticing some very subtle signs. The apex seems to be lifting again, and the leaves that were curling now look like they’re slowly opening back up. It’s still too early to confirm anything, so I’m keeping expectations realistic. Right now, visual impressions are all we have, and the plant still needs space to stabilize. For this stage, the strategy is simple: no adjustments, no extra stress, no forced progression. We keep the light at 300 PPFD and let her rebuild her momentum naturally. Only when she gives a clear, confirmed sign of vigor—not just a hint— will we start considering the transition to flower. So Week 21 was a quiet-looking week, but an important one metabolically. The plant is processing the spectrum change, resetting its rhythm, and hopefully setting the foundation for a clean, strong pre-flower phase. We’ll check back next week to see if the recovery continues and whether she’s finally ready to move forward. 😎

Pflanze ist inzwischen 1,70 groß und langsam wird’s eng aufm Balkon. Ebenso wird es langsam zeitlich knapp. Brauche dringend Hilfe Pflanze ist immer noch nicht in der Blüte obwohl wir schon Mitte august haben. Was denkt ihr abends früher reinstellen? Um die Blütephase einzuleiten? Letztes Jahr ging mein Experiment wesentlich früher in der Blüte ca Ende Juli, dieser unbekannte strain scheint länger zu brauchen.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are on day 63 and as you can see, this girl is a beauty...Kannabia Seeds thank you so much for this grow and others so far so good.. this girl starting to get purple hues everywhere and I think there's more purple to come as I dropped the temperatures near the end of flower.. a few weeks back, I noticed she had too much nitrogen, so I completely switched Plagron nutrients green sensation, and i've been using that only.. i think the flush should start soon and hopefully she is done in the next few weeks .. And I have, to be honest, I am very excited for this one.She looks like she's gonna be some really good smoke... I hope everyone is doing well and so are there ladies. God bless and happy growing ✌️

It’s the typical bud structure you would expect from hybrid varieties topped with an explosion of fruity terps that’ll hit you in the face with a blend of creamy, fruity, and sweet aromas as soon as you break the buds open.

Week 4 - 01/22 to 01/28 2021 Pictures from Days 25 + 26 TRANSPLANTED! Might have waited too long but hopefully the transplant and LST stress might slow the plant down since i think it's already flipping to flower like the Red Poison & Purple Lemonade in my other diaries 😱 Ended up more 50/50 ratio of Destiny Organic's Dark Matter Living Soil + ProMixHP since I had to make the Destiny last. Apparently they went out of business just after I decided it was my favourite/new soil :( Would rather stay away from Ocean Floor since I haven't had the best experiences with it (bugs/rust fungus etc) Feel free to drop some recommendations other than Fox Farms below 👍 The Dark Devil Auto is otherwise healthy and starting show hints of colour in the stems 😈 I raised the @ViparSpectraLED P1500 another eight inches after transplant and started basic LST. I really wanted to get these four under a ScrOG but if 3/4 are already flipping and the LSD is still runty I might have to wait it out again. It already has a solid skunky/hash plant smell on the fingers after adjusting them and it looks like it might actually be a tripod mute with three flower sites per node. Hopefully I can stretch it out and take advantage of the extra bud potential 🙏 I have the @MarsHydroLED TSL2000 set up and ready to go once the girls settle into their new pots. Have the new surge protector/heavy duty power cords/power tool grade timers as mentioned in Week 3. Some of it shown in the pictures. Threw some videos in this week as well with some Queen's Radio GaGa, Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey, and a little hint of Arkells ....COME TO LIGHT on the short @ViparSpectraLED ..GET IT.. 😓 -- Thanks for checking in! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour 🙌 Check out my Diary of the Year 2020 Entry for my Original Auto Sour Diesel: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/54258-fastbuds-original-auto-sour-diesel-grow-journal-by-glazedgrow IG: @GlazedGrow CannaBuzz: @GlazedGrow

Plant continues to grow strong! Canopy is dispersing well and getting good light penetration through the leaves.

420Fastbuds FBT2313/ Week 7 These two beautiful girls are growing amazing. Starting to smell super strong and frosty. I noticed some fade so I upped the nitrogen for one feeding and it seemed help. Over all super exciting times in the weeks to come. Happy Growing

Tag 42 - Ende der 6. Woche. Der Stretch ist beendet und die Pflanze konzentriert sich auf die Buds. Deshalb habe ich in dieser Woche den Dünger etwas erhöht und die Menge an Litern die ich gieße. Ich bin gespannt wie sie sich in der nächsten Woche entwickelt. An Tag 36 wurde die Pflanze gedüngt. Nährstofflösung: 2 ml/l - Voodoo Juice Advanced Nutrients. 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part B 2 ml/l - Bud Candy Advanced Nutrients. 2 ml/l - Big Bud Advanced Nutrients. Davon hat die Pflanze 1l an Tag 36 erhalten.

Let me start by saying, I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T CHOP! THESE BABIES ARE GAINING SOME SERIOUS BULK! I can not wait to see them finish out, It's really testing my patience, but I notice more bulk every single day! It's about time to get the chop, they are maturing really quick and I love it. The smells are absolutely insane!!!

These girls got lollipopped and a defoliation this week. I think having some more air flow at the pots level they'll get the dryback I'm shooting for. Now they'll also be able to focus all there energy on the top colas. All in all Happy Growing.

It is very low for harvest; I have been applying overdrive,3ml per 1,5L, three times in the last waterings, I will apply again one last time and proceed to washing roots. Then I will continue watering only with water until the end, I estimate there will be about two weeks or less left for harvest.👌🏻🐦

Nach der Entlaubung letzter Woche haben sich die Pflanzen gut erholt und im Netz entfalten lassen. Die Blütenansätze sind nun deutlich sichtbar. Der Geruch ist moderat und die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit konstant. Bin gespannt wie groß die so werden. Ist mein erster Grow von Photoperiodischen Pflanzen.

Day 90 / FL 15, Gave the GDP a heavy defoliation to help open up bud sites. Plant still has not stretched too much since flower flip. I either stressed her out to much or this is the characteristics of this pheno. Regardless I should have some nice bud in the end, just not a good yeild. Day 93 / FL 18, Plant has recovered very nice after heavy defoliation. Plant is still very short. Day 96 / FL 21, Added a 3/4 inch layer of living soil to add a little bit of extra nutrients. Waiting until week 5 of flower to add Gaia Green dry amendments to take me to the end.

Woche 4 - Weiteres Wachstum und kräftigere Blätter In der vierten Woche setzte sich das beeindruckende Wachstum der Pflanzen fort. Die Nährstoffe blieben dieselben wie in der Vorwoche, mit der Zugabe von 30 ml Canna Terra pro 10 Liter Wasser. Das Licht wurde schrittweise weiter erhöht, bis es die maximale Leistung für die Vegetationsphase erreichte, mit einem PPFD-Wert von knapp 500. Die Pflanzen wuchsen immer kräftiger und gesünder, und die Blätter waren mittlerweile größer als meine Hände – und ich habe wirklich große Hände! 😄 Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur blieben konstant und bewegten sich weiterhin im optimalen Bereich wie in der Vorwoche. Die Pflanzen zeigten eine merkbare Veränderung in ihrer Farbe: Sie wurden deutlich dunkler grün, ein Zeichen für eine optimale Versorgung mit Nährstoffen und ein gesundes Wachstum. Insgesamt war dies eine sehr erfolgreiche und erfreuliche Woche im Grow, mit weiterhin sichtbaren Fortschritten.
