side note.. the Hydro store owner said he could build me a DWC system for 40 for a complete system for 1 bucket, and 15 per addition bucket.. is this a resonable price? he has been tempting me with sayings such as "one you go hydro you will never be able to tolerate the slow soil growth..
Barney's Farm Pineapple Chunk - 400w soil
- Thread starter iNUPE
- Start date
what were the difficulties that you came across? i got soil pretty dialed in after the 4th attempt.. now that i understand what im doing, its so easy that i have no idea how i was royally fucking up before (im still having slight "issues" here and there.. but i get a finished product, and its good.. so in the grand scheme of things, the journey to get there doesnt really matter

Day 10:
She is offically 2 ft tall from breaking surface to top of plant... and 33.5 inches including pot.. i have never had a plant this young, be this tall.. i pray for a qp.. that would make my life so much easier... the critical mass 33 is moving along well.. if i can get 1 ounce out of her id be happy... but i really just planted her cause my g13 sour candy failed to break soil after germ...(that would have been a great supplemental strain.. damn.. im upset i missed out
anyways... life is good right now.. but i have a long way to go... about 60 more days... cant wait for the true stink to come through.. unless they mean 11 weeks from when they show sex. either way.. im ready

Day 15:
is it possible that implicating the screen and tying them down has promoted more vigorous growth.. dear lord... yea... that 250% stretch is REAL FOLKS.. so if u dont have the room.. DONT RUN THIS STRAIGHT.. luckily with the screen i can keep pulling them down..but i dont want to snap the stem.. i have down that twice with this plant already..lol... i suck with being gentle
good thing is tho.. NEXT RUN.. i have the screen now.. so i can start doing some gangsta shit for the next batch.. which will be a TGA run

Day 16:
i wake up to see that my Critical Mass 33 hermed on me.. bananas all over the place.. i pulled them off by hand.. hopefully they wont reform until i can get myself to the hydro store and buy some REverse.... but anyways.. yea.. that sucks
the PC is doing STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! freaking huge and i didnt top.. but now that its in my makeshift screen..all the side branches along the stems are the same height as the main tops... so its nice looking... it a sloppy canopy, but its nice to me.. cause i see the yield might have just increased maybe 40% if all goes well.

Day 18:
i took some pictures on day 14.. but due to me being extremely lazy, and my copious amounts of DOTA playing.. i have failed to find the time to upload them.. ill make sure i get them up by tomorrow at the latest
since then i have removed the herming CM33 from my tent.. i have no idea why it hermed... but it did.. and it hermed BAD... at least 6 new balls every day.. i never was the type to write off a strain off of minor set backs so instead of destroying it... i planted it outside in the wooded area near my house....ill check back on it ever 2 weeks or so... but although its "sorta hidden" there still is a high chance that it will be found by someone before harvest is complete... but ill just cross my fingers and hope not.. i mean.. last year, i successfully grew a plant to completion in my front lawn and noone ever noticed..
but there is always a chance
but back to the star of the show the pineapple chunk
at Day 18, i think i have successfully passed the stretching period (i hope) the make shift screen i have is filled now, and it has at least 20 tops shooting through it... as i rub my greedy hands together, all i can think about is the great harvest that is waiting for me 8 more weeks

Day 19:
i just wanna say.. whoever created the screen of green.. i need to kiss
holy shit.. i love it.. i went to 4 tops and some some underlings... to 30+ pushing above the screen... i dont know if it will improve yeild weight... but i know more buds will be dense as apposed to the wispy lower ones im use to getting
by the way... the critcal mass 33 took to its outside transplant VERY WELL.. but im a moron.. its near a street light..lol.. so never gets a true dark phase.. womp womp.. luckily.. it hermed on me... so im not expecting some premiere finished smoke.. so whatever i get at the end... ill just take the beans and try again.. if the NEXT round herms on me.. ill just call that strain shit and move on
PIC UPDATE:
The Herm
this pics are when i FIRST installed the screen.. it looks crazy now.. but for now, these pics will do.. (im very lazy)

Day 23:
they are getting big.. she is 5 ft tall approximately if she wasnt tied down... and unfortunately.. still stretching it seems like..lol.. bud sites are a plenty tho.. i estimate it i chopped her now.. and the buds DIDNT SHRINK... i would have a ounce of bud already.. so im very much looking for this to be over.. the plant makes my room very humid.. thats a first time for me.. the room smells like musky underarms... not really a extreme stench, but strong enough to make you notice it
there are already trics a plenty.. more then i have ever seen at this stage from my previous grows.. im 23 days in.. and i got about 50 more to go... im assuming (if this is a 11 week strain like everyone says and not the 8 weeker that the breeder states.. so i far i have no reason to doubt everyone else, they have been correct about EVERYTHING else about this plant
i enjoy watching this girl grow tho.. im interested in seeing what the bag appeal is like... for once in my life.. id like to have a strain that was pretty to look at and strong enough from sniffing the bag.. lets hope this is it..lol (im not that lucky)...
NOTE- i no longer have the UFO.. the original owner of it asked for it back... but it did its duty for the first 13 days i had it, so im not that upset... he offered to let me buy it.. but i could tell he was just gonna try to rip me off.. so i declined and returned it to him.

Day 25:
yesturday i saw that 3 of the 30 tops had been burned... they were the ones in the direct center of the light (the most intense area)... sucks to be them... so i raised my light about a foot up (as high as it can possibly go) raised the fan that is supposed to blow on the top area of the plants.. and now im just praying for the best... everyone wish me luck that they stop growing..lol.... around 50 more days (from my estimate)

Day 36
i returned from 6 days in Atlanta..lol.. plants were borderline DEAD..lol.. all the bottom fan leaves that were lush and full from veg were dried, yellow, and mostly fallen off... after a emergency watering, then another one when i woke up in the morning... she seems to be good again.. although im SURE that i diminished my final yield by at LEAST a full oz..lol..

Day 50
holy fuck... still nowhere NEAR being done.. white hairs EVERYWHERE.. lol.. i would put up on pics and its just so draining.. but when i get home ill post some
i can say that they are very plump... i have about 24 tops now.. that are worth a shit... so if i can get 4 grams per top, then ill be a happy camper

i stopped this because i hate talking to myself.. either way.. here are the results
went about 69-71 days total with 1.5 days of darkness
total weight from one plant was 113 grams... VERY PLEASED!
on a scale of 1-10 1 being not dense at all, 10 being rock hard... the buds are a 2-3 ...
they are sticky as all hell... and the smell in the bag is VERY mild, its a pleasant, fruity smell...not a delicious extremely pronounced sugar/candy smell like sour candy has.. but just a nice fruity/floral smell.. (most of my other grows have this similar smell, perhaps its something that im doing wrong.. i dont know.. but i NEVER get that extremely prnounced "weed funk"
ive given out a few grams for tests.. (i dont smoke)... its been ranked on a average a 7-8 on a 1-10 scale... which is fine for me... it has LOVELY bag appeal tho.. very visible trichs and light green bud with dull red hairs..
