GrowLab 80 - G13 Pineapple Express ... [200w T5 veg / 400w HPS flower]

what happened with the jiffy pellets?

Thanks!

Harvest will be heady, not sure if it will be a "great" yield yet though. Will have to see once the calyxes swell. I should have used a 400w MH for veg, but didn't have the extra spending money at the time. If I would run it again I'd use a 400w MH as soon as they were in the 5 gal pots, and veg them to about a foot tall into the screen before I went 12/12. Make some foot long, heady colas. Perhaps next PE run!

I plan to use a 400w MH on this white widow for next run, then veg to about 8 inches as they supposedly stretch 2.5x

I am planning on using 400w MH for veg period and 400w HPS for flowering.

Perfectooo.... Get dat digital, interchangeable ballast!

And a hood that's easy to take on and off, yet still has a gasket!

Day 43

4:20 dabs yeah!

Took some pics before lights on..

It looks like they are going to chunk out.. Because they are pretty decent sized, and the calyxes are still super tiny. The nuggets are starting to lean over the place, and some colas are growing up from the bottom pretty well once the light has been opened up to them from yellowing fan leaves that have been removed. I've rearranged some colas after this shot, to let them breathe better, and to get colas leaning back into the shadows, back under the light. Hopefully that should add a little resin/weight to them.




frostttt-eeee





a main cola on #1 (in the back), you can see the difference between phenos. #1 might take another 5-7 longer than #2 I'm guessing.


Right side main cola on #2.


at the derping nugget in the bottom foreground..

Dem colas.. Hnnnrrrggghhh..

real nice man I think im a little jealous.. care to share what makes buds that frosty Im thinking the temps and humidity have alot to do with it?

I don't know exactly.. They get frostier with every grow my friend.

My guess is just generally happy, stress free plants + optimal environment(low humidity and temp), combined with intense HPS light helps the resin content.

I keep asking myself, if they're this frosty now - what will they look like when they're done? Should be some strong strong pineapple express either way!

Day 44 today

Watered with /gal

20mL Big Bloom
3.5mL BioWeed
10mL CalMag
3mL Grow Big
23mL Tiger Bloom



They are starting to chunk out, still not many calyxes ripening up but still a lot of weight being added.. Lots of buds are starting to lean and require being tied up further to the screen so they don't slip down .


Will take pics again in a few daze..

Thanks

Day 46





this guys leaned over far



Just some random calyxes puffing out, nothing steady yet though. I'm guessing they will be prime to chop around day 60.

next photo update in a week and a half.

Nice one looking better than mine turned out in hydro 2oz dry off each plant x 16 under 4 x 600w hps all the best TG.

Hmmm that stinks, but was it at least some good bud? I think these girls need intense veg to do great in flower. I don't know if topping them was the right call or not, I think next time I would just train out all the side branches and have one main cola per plant.

Looking good bro.

Thanks!

I'm feeling like these chicks will get big late in bloom, what do you guys think? Still lots of white pistils in there.

Either way the smell is awesome, gets all over you, near impossible to wash off with soap. The flowers look like they have two coats of resin so far, with more to come ..So I'm thinking the medicine will certainly be... effective.. .

I think they'll chuck out, nice to hear about the resin though.

The colas sparkle under the HPS like a Christmas tree! Totally in love with the 400w, rocks my socks off - even though these PE are on the small side.
