Hello growers, Vegetative Week 9 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This week was calm and stable. There has been no major structural work since last week. Growth remains strong, steady, and consistent. The plant continues to develop naturally without signs of stress or imbalance. Only minimal intervention was done — possibly one or two leaves removed — but nothing significant. Nutrient levels remain unchanged. EC is maintained around 1.5, with a stable pH between 6.0 and 6.1. The plant is responding well to this steady feeding approach. For now, the strategy is simple: allow continued vertical and lateral growth before deciding on further topping or structural adjustments. Everything looks healthy and controlled at this stage. See you next week. Take care.

Week started how I hoped. Rain stops and the sun is shining several hours per day. But it is still cloudy often.

TUESDAY 7/23: The FIM'ing seems to have only doubled her main, but that's okay. She's going from Hawaii conditions to Arizona conditions every day...8-10 hour of 72f/70+%RH to 12-14 hours of 96f/35%RH and taking it like a champ. I foliar fed her after taking her outside today and started training her a little bit. Gonna try to get those tiny lower branches to think they have a shot at "primary cola" status. I had no wire with me, so I just used a pliable length of dead-ish vine that was lying on the ground. I'll use some wire and binder clips when I can find it.. Evening...same day: She broke the vine I was using to hold her down, so I dug around and found some clips and wire. WEDNESDAY: She was just about 4 inches beneath 120w of LED last night with tons of blue spectra, 69f temperature and 80% RH. Those lower branches gained another half inch each and the top colas have turned to face the sun. I foliar fed her and gave her a little douche of Bactrex this morning when I took her outside. Had a cool front come through today, so the high will just be 87f and it's dropping to the mid to low 60's tonight..hooray! They're forecasting another day or two like this before the return to "oven-like" conditions.👍 I carried my pole saw down to the site at daybreak and removed a few smaller branches above them and to the West. I'll see if it is allowing some evening sun to reach her when I go down there to fetch her home to the LED's for the evening. THURSDAY: I was somewhat successful with getting a little bit more direct sunlight to her while outside during the day..about another 20-25 extra minutes. She got a sip of compost tea today with a little kelp me kelp you and big bloom. I tweaked her indoor domain a bit..she's now got 2 x 12w Miracle LED veg bulbs (cool white with 475nm peak), 1 x 75w cool white/460nm 225LED panel, 1 x 40w Sansi daylight grow bulb, 1 x 50w 460nm/cool white flood, and 1 x 18w 18" pinkish grow light bar. None of the lights are more than 5 inches from her, so she's incredibly well lit. I'm estimating that it's about 5,000 micromoles an hour, but I'm keeping the temp at her canopy under 80f with 90+% RH. It's not direct sunlight, but I think she's happy. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll keep her on a 24/0 schedule or if I'll cut it back to 20/4 when she starts flowering. Since I can provide her with a cool and humid environment for a third of the day, I'm leaning towards running 24/0 the whole grow. FRIDAY: I accidentally burnt her up a little bit today..one of the overhead LED's slipped and was about an inch from her top leaves...oops..I put her outside and misted her with some boom boom spray and kelp me kelp you.. SATURDAY: She's got a few crispy leaves, but she perked up and is growing again...whew...😓 SUNDAY: I tweaked her indoor environment today. She's now got a 120w quantum board (3500k) overhead, a 24w panel with 225 x 660nm red LEDs, the 40w Sansi light, one 9w 2' bar grow light, and one 12w Miracle LED blue.

Welcome to Week 9! December 14 - Took some pictures of Plant C since she is nearing harvest time! Definitely not ready yet, but will be flushing and keeping a close eye on her! Plant A & B are a little behind, and will post some pictures later this week! Hoping to harvest all by the end of December 😁 December 15 - Added photos from Plant A&B December 17 - Keeping a close eye on them, not quite ready for harvest yet! Today is day 67 for these girls 🤣 Listed harvest time online is 70days so I’m guessing they will be ready next week!!!

Commencing Week 10 - 2nd week of flowering - Day 64 from germination - Day 14 of 12/12 on December 26th All is awesome! 😁 Although all plants have hairs right now, 818#1&2, BH2, & GZ2 (especially 818s) seem to start throwing hairs just a few days before the rest. RD is stretching out rather nicely and is working in sync to make a nice level and full canopy. Have noticed the pH of the nutrient solution now swings very low with every plant, especially the bigger ones, within 24 hrs going from 5.8 down to 3.8-4.3. I pH back up accordingly every day. Lastly I decided to go with "bonsai" training instead of topping. (This is in order to keep plants growing at a steady pace - non-stunting - while taking away the apical shape that is natural for some strains.). I "bonsai'd" The following: GZ1&2&3, AND 818#1. Simply put I coiled bonsai wire around the main cola and bent below the next lowest node /tier (see photos) The other s: RD, BH 1&2, and 818#2 have a natural level/close to level shape. D.65/15 Started tucking leaves and light stress training. So far I have taken only 3-4 leaves off per plant. And other than coiled the Apex cola they are been untouched. Also to balance out the pH drop, I have been pHing to the 6.0-6.2 range. Seems to steady the solution better so I will continue. Lastly I have put both the fans and the oxygen pumps on a 15m on 15 m off interval throughout the 24 hr day. I thought it might be risky however the plants seem not to mind, rather maybe even like this better. D.69/19 Yesterday I added a tiny bit of bloom food high in phosphate to help with the flowering since it's picking up now, as well as some extra Cal Mag and the plants seem happier because of it. And I have still been putting the pH a little higher, in the 6.1 range, rather than a 5.8 since it seems to be dipping low every time I check rather than going up. Also I put these pumps back on 24 hrs per day because after two days of being on for 12 hours her day they seemed not as happy as they were prior. Lesson learned with that one no harm done so that's a good thing. The raspberry diesel is really taking up the space wonderfully in between the four plants in the corners and is becoming almost + shaped really filling in the canopy just like the description online says don't vegfor long because the flower phase stretch is something to behold. 818 headband number one has a really beautiful medium sized stature not too short but not tall and lanky either and tons of Bud sites and is looking the most bud-filled already whether that means it will have the most yield or be done the fastest, or both we'll have to wait and see., All three of the Gorilla Zkittles seem to have slightly different phenotype variation one a little bit more sativa than the other two that are more hybrid looking. All 3 have very different root masses compared to the rest of the plants and are pretty big but one in particular is absolutely huge. (Comparisons will be posted in next week's update.) the Boss hogs also seem to have very different phenotype expressions as of now one is staying much more short and having a very level canopy naturally and no hairs, while the other is close to a level canopy but still has a little bit of that main cola dominant feature as well as a lot more hairs. Thank you watching hope your enjoying, the best is yet to come !!😁😁

So just started giving them a bit of low stress training and upped the ml's nutrients. These are my first ever auto's and im a bit dubious to how they'll turn out. I do have high hopes for that tiny one i got there i think she'll put out most just you wait and see. Take care guy's n gals stay safe and happy growing :)

SUCSESS! I now know for a fact that the pollen did its job. I am 2-3 weeks out from pulling the plug on the lights and giving them the axe. looks like some are starting to mature so I will let them cruse on auto pilot for the next 3 week just giving them plain water PH 6.0 this should use up the dry nuites in the coco and work as a flush as well. Some nutrient burn from the last blast feeding, but I can live with it. I think my PPM meter is out of calibration and it gave me a lower reading than what was in the feeding. I'm pretty happy my first pollen chucking experiment worked. This will be a Feminized S1 IBL " inbred line" The original female that was sprayed with the CS never got pollenated. the other 2 were by me 2 branches each, some may have popped in the tent before. I will find out how many buds got knocked up in 3 weeks. The clones will have some buds on them seedless. so that's it for now. I'm in the home stretch in reality July 17th or so should be the finish line including drying time. soooooo close.😍

D22: Added the nutrients solution. Like 100 ml per plant. D23: Sprayed potasium soap solution at 2% over the plant. No water today. D24: Added the nutrients solution. Like 100 ml per plant. D25: Spreayed potasium soap for the last time. No water today. D26: Added water with nutrients (forgot to make photos) D27: Added water with nutrients D28: Added nothing today since I'm afraid I may be overwatering.
