Day 48 - 11/11/19 started this week early by accident. Plant smells like tropical cheese and i cant see the stalk anymore except from the leaves, very bushy and seems to be in a mid stage of flowering. buds are getting bigger by the looks of it. very sticky also! Ive been removing about 2 leaves per day from this one, started with a couple touching the soil and removed a few higher ones today to expose the buds to more light and fresh air. when looking at this plant side on the main cola looks huge and growing more every day. im assuming this is about 2 weeks away from harvest so il probs flush next week. roll on harvest time! other than that the humidity has went up to 50-55 the odd time when watering all the plants. it doesnt stay high long with the heat from the lights so it should be fine. Day 51 - 14/11/19 Still removing the odd couple of leaves every day to let the fresh air get near the main cola, i still cant see it very well but it looks like what a 6-7g bud looks like when its dried aha. the smell can be described as if someone took a cheese strain and added something powerful and herbal/tropical to it. cant wait to order my jewelers loupe in a few days to see where im really at :) and i added a video to show the plant looking all frosty. a few weeks to go now!

14day

9L Pot was harvest 6 days before 12L pot with 66g dry bud plus 3.1g bubble hash. Total 69g 12L Pot was left for 6 more days and the harvest weight was 123g plus 7.3g bubble hash. Total 130g The buds is rock hard and cover in crystals. The smoke is balanced great hybrid.

Plant is growing well. Probably the prettiest one outta the bunch so far.

This week started out well. After topping both sides started growing pretty quickly. Later on in the week I decided to see how flexible the new branches were, they seemed pretty flexible so I wanted to start fixing them down, but not too low. Sadly one of the branches snapped off. I quickly tried to reattach it, but it got loose and died off. New plan, I left the second node intact to fill up some possibly empty spaces, but now they will have to serve as the right side of the manifold. Part of the timelapse is a bit weird as the camera kept sliding out of position because of the wire pulling it down, but that should be fixed now.

8/23/2025 Still Feeding Week 4 extended of feeding schedule. Pinching off the mite damaged leaf and some of the fans needed to go. Daylight has entered 13:59 hours. Waiting for front left plant to show sex. The other five have shown female, and unless my eyes are out of focus have a pistil or two at the top. They are starting to stretch. Waiting on Pre-Flower. I'm inclined to think because these are modern hybrids, they might be genetically bred for the 12/12 flip. Just a thought. If they pop by September 8th, I should get a decent flower stage. Looking for 1st week October for harvest. Season is beginning to change. A few months appeared yesterday. Sprayed entire garden with AzaMax and that should hold until the end. The moths bring the budworms. I do have one big grasshopper that hangs out. He fly's away and laughs at me everytime.

first week of flowering, started on sept. 21th. irrigation being tuned weekly due to climate and drinking variations. ipm foliar sprayed on monday 18th with ohn, organic fruit vinager, pumpkin ffj, neem oil, Solem "sun's fert", and neutral soap. on thursday 21th and saturday 23th ipm foliar sprayed with EM5, liquid quillaia extract, Solem "sun's fert" and epson salt.

Popped these a couple weeks ago and started rooting them before the move to 5 gallon dwc buckets. 🌱 If these are anything like the last freebies I got from seedsman than I cant wait to bring these ladies to fruition. 😎🌺 I'm excited to see what the next few months brings. 🤞😊

Once again, this week starts where the former one ended. With the exception of all the cables you can see in the first picture. I dared to install a minimalized version of the Raspi control only controlling the self-built humidifier and one blower/fan combination. I was very pleased to see how easily the simple diffusor can hold optimum VPD as long as temperatures are high and humidity tends to fall below optimum VPD. A single 10 seconds evaporation can hold the level for about 2–3 minutes. I am not pleased to see the Monsanto blowers rather underperform. It’s impossible to reduce humidity or temperature with both running on full speed, while a lifting of the tent door will bring immediate changes. With the Raspi/Arduino success so far*, I am thinking about using old Power Mac fans which are WCM controllable and use 12 V. At least one to increase air intake, and maybe even the blowers. * It wasn’t any problem at all to have the Arduino collect CO2 and soil moisture data, so after some more cable manufacturing (aka helpless soldering), I could extend the Raspi control. I’m still uncertain about the camera module (@trelorny impressed me with his time lapse videos). I don’t want to put the hardware into the tent with its not so electronics friendly climate, already risking some rare outages of the temp/hum sensor. But the camera module cannot be placed far away. So maybe I’ll use the 3A model I own as a spare part as a camera driver. Any maybe, if it works, invest in a better camera module. Mine is generation 1. Oh, and the ladies! Gave them slightly fertilised water yesterday, and even it or the better VPD yesterday or a combination of both make me believe bud growth is a bit more visible today. The smell in the morning when I open the tent to release accumulated humidity is outstanding. They were already thirsty on day 57 again, so pure RO + a bit of tap water until it spilled out of their pot’s bottoms. Many fan leaves turning autumnally now, and the smallest Sherbet suffered a bit from over-fertilisation as I wrote. But it this stage I don’t go for leaf beauty anymore. Just another learning: Don’t use differently sized pots anymore. Hard to feed them individually this way. VPD was mostly in best range yesterday, and I have the feeling it really supports their bud growth. I added an "Evening time" option to my Raspi control that allows the humidity to sink a selected time before lights shut down. That made it possible to have humidity in best range for most of the night time too. They were even dry again on day 58 morning. Another time just water. The blowers cannot cope with the flowers’ smell anymore, and so sometimes my flat cannot hide who shares it with me. Day 60 presents me with a problem: I’ll leave on Friday for a few days. Considering the microscope pictures are not from the tops buds: Would you say it’s safe to give them another week? Problem solved on day 61. Only clean water from now on, and next week will be their last. You won’t see any new pictures for some days now. Me too … Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I just finished to update my grow box control with a new PWM fan hat that keeps the Raspi cool, while at the same an infrared sensor can now measure real leaf and additional ambient temperature. Setup is much cleaner and more robust now, but I wish my flux would not make the solder stick to the tip of the machine instead of making it flow and stick at the tiny tiny spots I have to hit …

02 October 2018 - Day 99 3rd day of flush and we see her begin to grow nicely. Day 100 - Happy lady as she gets densier and begins to really smell. Day 101 - She is maturing lovely. Day 102 - Orange pistols curl. She is on her way. Day 103 - Mature and ready. has thickened up significantly. Day 104 - Water topped up and pH balanced 5.4 Day 105 - Trimmed after the video.

Aroma has begun as the flowers are forming. Pulled alot of the large fan leaves to get light to the bud sites. Lots of tops from LST training so hoping she will be a good producer.

…😎✌️

Photoperiod buds 🤩 The smell is absolutely divine very fruity,sweet & tropical🍋🍊🍉🍌 Solid like a diamond 💎 Bay harbor butcher’s trim to show the density

The 3th week into the 12/12 cycle went smooth. I've got the impression that the Pineapples aren't stretching much. The pre-flowering stage has changed into the actual flowering stage. I think it will take about 10 weeks of 12/12 to get these Pineapples ready. I've done some final pruning and removed some leaves above the screen that were blocking light for lower shoots. Smell is coming in so this week I've placed the carbon filter in the tent. It's still the Can – Lite 600pl filter that did a great job in my previous run. This was the feeding shedule of this week. Day 1 → Each 1100 ml (0.29 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much) Day 2 → Dry Day 3 → Each 1100 ml (0.29 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.46– ph 6.1) Day 4 → Dry Day 5 → Each 1150 ml (0.30 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much) Day 6 → Dry Day 7 → Each 1200 ml (0.31 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.48– ph 6.1) The week started with the cobs still at the same height and power as last week ended. That was 240 watt and 46 cm/18.1 inch → (PPFD 750/DLI 32.4) On day 54 the power was raised to 252 watt at 45 cm → (PPFD 789/DLI 34.1) Temperatures stayed between 20 – 26.5 °C ( 68 – 79.7 °F) and humidity levels between 50 – 65 % Till next week!

As I write this, my throat is swollen with sadness. Our little doggy, who is 15 years old, now is too weakened to be able to move ok and is losing weight rapidly. Not in pain yet but we will not let that happen. So with a very heavy heart after a year of sadness and lots of fear, we are saying goodbye and spoiling her with extra goodies. Still wagging her tail, oblivious. We all know it comes one day but still, it hurts. Sorry to get you down with a sad story but at the moment it really helps me to share it with someone, thank you for that. So I'm seeking some extra comfort with my plants, to get my mind off things and be amazed by how fast these plants go. What power these little plants have. I did have some problems, ridged leaves on 3 of 4 plants, leaving me scratching my head... The bigger pot didn't have the ridging. So underwatering, too much nitrogen, too warm... I don't have clue but after some clear water, all seemed to return to normal. Also put the Sp-3000 a bit higher in the tent, to control temps. After that again mega growth, we are just at week 4, which is amazing to me. Cant wait to see the endresults. See you next week my friends!
