I can't tell you how anxious I am to see how my pineapple turns out. It'll be my first real plant I've grown. The other didn't have the nutrients or light that I am using now. Before was a few CFLs and it was just bad.

I hope to get my buds dense like yours, or if anything better than last time. So far, so good.

Some gas stations near my house are doing limited edition Pineapple White Owls Cigarillos. I grabbed me a few packages, never know!:bigjoint:

Thought I would share where my grow is currently. 8 weeks veg, 58 days flower.

This is not a thread jack, just a simple compairson of
different styles and expertiese. I have little of either.:?

This is my first successful grow. TOP, LST for the mother and just grow for the clones.

This is the largest single cola. that is a 23w cfl. connie chung on the right in the first pic.

PE front and center lots of red hairs and trics just waiting for the magic hour. I think within a week.
and Connie Chung soon after.

24-48 hours as always.

Although I had 1 dud. Had to replant a new seed, which is why one plant is 2 days older than the other

Day 60, still no chop. I think I'm going to wait this out max another week.

The trichs are developing some really beautiful glands, and the stalks are crazy long (extra thc? :-P). But still a solid 75% is still clear. Although they are starting to cloud up, and I found 1 in 100 glands to be half amber. So were certainly getting there, it's just a matter of time :-P.

Also, I've been dropping the night temps into the low 60s, and keeping the day temps around 75-78. Now I'm seeing purpling on the leaves, and on the calyxes. Definitely going to be very pretty, purple hued white calyx orange hair cannabis.. :hug:















Sample calyx, camera zoom and microscope shot.

How does your garden grow? :-P

What is your water scheduled for the last days? are you water normal, or light to dry faster after harvest.

If I dont harvest tomorrow I have to consider if I will water again.

I'll water a day before I chop. They drink fast.

I want them to dry slow - this lets more chlorophyll escape during the drying process.

Nice grow man, really looking forward to your harvest. Trichs look incredible. Great grow man :)
I was looking into the Kelp, do you use Kelp meal? or the liquid kelp?

I use liquid kelp. But I'm totally looking into mixing kelp meal and a few others into my soil mix. Just make sure it's good stuff, don't skimp - cold processed is important.

Day 62 starts today.. Watered with more distilled water.


Bad news: Bugs.

I hate bugs :(.

So I'm pretty sure they are spring tails, tiny tan/black bugs, about 1/20mm long. The jump up 5-6 inches high. These spring tails have plagued me since my first grow! No idea why I always get them.

They say spring tails are actually beneficial to your soil, but, fuck bugs.

The problem is only bad enough that when I water, they get flushed out to the bottom root zone, this must mean they aren't doing so well surviving. Also, they aren't visible on the surface of the soil either. So it's not a huge problem, the buds will be fine, it's just annoying.

They say the spring tails feed on decaying organic material, and leave healthy living material alone. Or in other words they supposedly eat the bad stuff (fungus, mold, algae), and leave the good stuff. They also say you don't get them if your soil doesn't have that stuff. It makes sense though that I got them now. I've honestly let them go though, I haven't moved the pots in about 2 months (:lol: scrog), and I haven't been draining stagnant water as thoroughly as I should have been.

Oh well, colas are looking beautiful. Phosphorous deficiencies are apparent in the leaves, making for some cool 8) coloring. They should be white, frosty buds with bright orange hairs, and purple hues in the calyxes here and there.. :)

Sorry about the pesky pests, looks like you can get through another day or 2 then no more problem.

I added 1/2 rations of water to my plants last night just to keep them going. I would like the root ball
on the dry side when I cut which will be whenever the trics turn, I've been watching my scope
and think maybe Friday will be harvest day, I have waited this long whats another day or 2 for the BOMB.:weed:

The trics are a mix of clear, cloudy and only few are amber now. All have long necks and fat heads.
I am excited as the connie chung should be ready a week later then 1 more late flowering PE a week after that.

The grow logs i reviewed before growing PE gave a range of 5 2 - 56 days flowerig
to harvest. 1 post claimed it was like clock work his PE was ready at 52 days every time.
Well his growing environment is obviously different form ours.:sad:

I wanted it to be ready sooner but I want it at its best. Its for me so I'm after the quality over speed
or quantity.

If all goes well I hope for 3/4 LB over the next 2 weeks.
