Hi fellow growers, another week and a half has passed so this diary update is a bit over due. As i said in my last update that i was growing on 24 hours of light and thinking about switching them to 18-6, right after writing last weeks diary i made the switch to 18-6 and left it for the past week and a half and that made a huge difference in growth the plants where nice and bushy from the 24 hours of light and they are now stretching towards the light just like we want to see yesterday i made the switch to 12-12 so the next update will be in flowering fase. The day before i made the switch to 18-6 we topped the plants and did a little defoliation but that is hardley noticable in the pictures i added because the new fan leaves developed quick and now they are nice and bushy again, enough leaf surface to take in a lot of light. I think i will be taking out my scrog net somewhere in the next week or so to train them a little but no full on scrog. lighting is now on full power 330 watts full spectrum but is still hanging on 50 cm above the canopy. I give them a little more water every day they get half a liter with hy-pro nutes and rootbastic (the amount added is in the nutes section above) That is all for now. Cheers, Nibameca

13.09.24. VD# 35 Guten Abend zusammen, Die Woche ist super verlaufen der Pineapple Express geht es gut. Habe sie getoppt ,sie ist noch in der Erholungsphase ihr Wachstum ist leicht gemindert ,was sich in den nächsten Tagen legen wird. Ihre seitentriebe treiben jetzt mehr aus,sobald die 2 neuen Haupttriebe wieder richtig aktiv Wachsen sie den Stress komplett überstanden hat. Wird sie in die Blüte geschickt der 18/6 Zyklus wird dann auf 12/12 gestellt. Ohne den Stress den sie jetzt hat würde sie ihr Geschlecht eigentlich schon zeigen, da jetzt Primär die Wundheilung im Vordergrund steht verschiebt sich dies ein bißchen. Ich danke euch vielmals fürs vorbei schauen, stay High✌️🙂 Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 💪🏻 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 13.09.24. VD# 35 Good evening everyone, The week has gone really well for the Pineapple Express. I topped her, she is still in the recovery phase, her growth is slightly reduced, which will subside in the next few days. Her side shoots are now sprouting more, as soon as the 2 new main shoots are growing actively again she has completely survived the stress. If she is sent into flowering the 18/6 cycle will then be changed to 12/12. Without the stress she has now, she would actually already be showing her sex,but now that the primary focus is on wound healing, this is being postponed a little. Thank you very much for stopping by, stay High✌️🙂 May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 💪🏻

She is moving right along. She comes inside at night. She makes the entire garage stink and the hallway leading to it. She is a few days into the week. The weather has been cloudy from the hurricane. She is drinking a lot less, have not had to water her in a few days. Supposed to be cloudy for a few more days. She is close to being done, 1 or 2 weeks tops and she will be harvested. 10/2 Day 108. She is drinking very little, it has been very cloudy outside. Don't like her pot sitting around wet. Although at this point there is very little that could cause a serious problem She either comes in the garage or stays on the porch and maybe gets a fan blowing on her. Depending on the humidity. Last couple of days humidity has been in the 50s and windy. I am guessing 1 possibly 2 weeks and she will be harvest ready. First site of an amber tricomb and she is coming down. 9/4 Day 109. Cloudy out and her pot is still heavy. The last time I watered her could be considered a flush. She is on plain water until harvest. She smells so good, very hard to describe, a fruity diesel. 9/5 day 110 Another cloudy and rain day. Will harvest soon. Don't want anything going wrong, I am too close. 9/6 day 111 finally a sunny day after a week of rain or clouds. She is close to being done. The first amber tricomb I see and she is coming down.

D72 - This week's diary starts late since I was gone on a short trip. The girls didn't miss me though as they are simply doing their thing, and with the automatic drip system, I don't even have to worry about watering. The girls look amazing! The colas are huge with plenty of frost. I'm very chuffed with how this grow is turning out :) D73 - Gave each girl 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.6, with 25ml EM-1. I'm fighting against temps and humidity since we have a heatwave with thunderstorms and plenty of rain. The average temp in the tent the last 24 hours was 31 degrees C (88F) and RH 63.5%, which is way high this late in flower. D74 - Yes! Our bad weather has moved on, and the humidity in the tent has dropped significantly to the mid-low 50s. Much better. Have to avoid that budrot! There isn't much to do in the tent now when everything is automated, so I spend more time observing and scouting the girls. I figured out that using my hyper-bright flashlight below the canopy is an excellent way to spot leaves that are yellowing from lack of light. I never thought of that before, but damn, it worked great and will now be a new tool in my arsenal. I removed the yellowing leaves and a couple of other fan leaves blocking bud sites. The rest of the leaves I tucked. Speaking of fan leaves, the stalks on the first girl are purple while they are green on the second. Another difference is that the first look frostier than the second girl. Not sure if that means that the second girl will take longer. One fan leaf on the first girl has a strange discoloration in the middle of a fan leaf, but I'm not overly concerned, considering it is only one leaf, and we're towards the end of the grow. Finally, and then I'll stop harping about fan leaves; one leaf tip on the second girl is turning purple. D76 - I had a first look at the trichomes. Clear/milky on both girls, with a random amber here and there on the second girl. Based on this, I guess chop day is at least a couple of weeks away. D77 - We have reached the end of the sixth week of flower, and everything is trucking along. It's mainly a waiting game at this point, waiting for the buds to fatten up and for the trichomes to mature. I ordered nematodes a few weeks ago and forgot to use them. I don't have a fungus gnat infestation, so it was only a preventative measure anyway. The nematodes were a couple of weeks past their use before date, so no idea if they are still viable, but I figured it is better to use them than throw them. I gave each girl 1.25-liters of nematode water @ pH 6.6, adding 25 ml of EM-1.

What’s up my diplomats, all good? Here’s the latest grow update — I’m super excited for the next few weeks. Let’s get to it: --- * **July 23, 2025** My pH meter arrived. After calibration, just like my buddy @FishWhistler pointed out, the pH was a bit off. I also got some pH down, and now I’m watering with water adjusted to around 6.5. Result: all the plants started showing much better growth, and the two that were struggling are now clearly bouncing back. Huge thanks @FishWhistler! Plants 1 and 2, which were moved to bigger pots a week ago, are looking way better now. ![pH|375x500, 50%](upload://iuJfwAfekUTX7zhVKAxwjzggrU3.jpeg) ![23/07 15:05|690x388](upload://enmOFFoSzrv2CM65Qny2ogHQAgC.jpeg) --- * **July 26, 2025** I transplanted plant 3 into a bigger pot. Since the move, it’s shown clear improvement. With a richer soil mix, it should thrive even more now. --- * **July 28, 2025** Before lights out, I applied a preventive spray made of water, andiroba oil, and potassium silicate to protect from pests. Also did a TOP cut on plant 3. At sunrise, the girls looked beautiful! Some of them have droopy tips because the photo was taken before watering.

She seems to be overfed, showing yellowing here and there. I might have messed up the Ph because I did not adjust fhe ph of nutrients mix. I assumed it was ph corrected. Now, I am adjusting the Ph and reducing feeding. Let’s hope that she recovers next week.

I feel like she's doing great, loving this batch of living soil. Still a bit confused on how watering at a ph of 5.3 is being buffered by the soil up to a runoff ph of 8. Not going to worry about it, she looks great and smells great and it's day 29-30 since flipped. The soil has her now.

This went very fast with a big yield. The olant started drinking a lot the final weeks and EC went up, she needs water more then nutrients. All buds ripened at the same time no airy buds on this one. Very dense and pure blue dream taste. Very good genetics 10/10

12 days to full transplantable roots. Right on schedule as expected. Moved 6 of the 12 clones (1 per plant) into a new 45L Rez that I cobbled together in an evening. Just small enough to fit into the cabinet. Hopefully the roots don’t choke each other out for territory while we work to reveg, re-flower and ultimately seed em all for the new F3 line. We’ll pick the best buds from the lot for the next testing run once we see what the pheno variation looks like from the main run in the tent. It’s a process and annoyance not to be yielding bud off a grow cycle but it is what it is if you want your own signature stuff. Alls good for now. Let’s just hope that the 6 coats of paint I threw on the lid is enough to keep out the grow light penetration🤞. Shoulda used black, whatever.

Stretching a lot at the moment, strong smell for only 2 weeks in flower. Pistils are now visible. As buds start to form. I moved the centre plant out as it was shorter than the others so looks a little more roomy now.

Last week of the vegetation stage for the ladies. I added some urb to the nutrient mix and gave the plants two measuring spoons each of the bat guano as a top dress on 17/01/21. I defoliated the plants and flipped the switch to 12/12 on 17/01/21.

Day 107 The Mars Hydro TS1000 has been at 100% light intensity for 2 days now and the plants seem to be loving the new light. Slowly seeing buds starting to fill in more and more. Day 108 The ladies are both looking wonderful! The bud sites are starting to fill in nicely, the Mars Hydro TS1000 has made a huge difference in progressing flower. Day 110 Updated with some photos of the buds coming along

Heading into the third week of flower. Everything has gone well so far. I have an average of 15" growth above the screen. Raised the tent 15" to the tops of the rdwc buckets.
