Amazing thread! +rep!
Just read the whole lot, and it has really opened my eyes.

Pineapple express was going to be my next seed.
Do you reckon i could grow this in a very limited space?
60cm height, by 70cm width? pots are about 20cm tall.

In soil, hand feeding, LST'ing the plant or scrog?

Your advice would be greatly apprteciated!
Subbed!

Peace! :weed::peace:

Whats your opinion on the CMH lights for a full grow? I'm really really considering of getting CMH instead of a MH/HPS system.
I really like CMH.. Plants overall health was better then just using HPS as a matter a fact I had no nute burn till I switched to HPS for a week.. and within 2 days I had some ill looking leaves after running the CMH they are starting to look better.. they also run much cooler then hps..

Thanks that was my goal when I came to this site.. I was looking around and noticed many growers here using high dollar nutes and a bunch of additives.. hardly anyone had a simple how too log.. hopfully the newbys will read up and keep it simple.. later on after they understand the plants life cycle and what problems to look for and how to correct them, then maybe they can try some other stuff out but IMO none of it is going to give you more cystals or double your yeilds.. the best thing you can do is keep the plant healthy give it plenty of light and it will give you its genetic potential..

Yes this is a short plant and the 12 hour flower stretch is really short... I would scrog no matter what the strain is if you have limited space.. its a good way to get a few extra ounce's with hardley any work.. however Ive only grown one PE Im not sure how many phenos there are..but im pretty sure most of them are somwhat short..

Did anybody get a sativa like pheno from there P E..I have the fat bud pheno and another frosty! sativa like buds ..the buds never really get that big..and when i touch her and smell my fingers it has that hazey pine smell..
Ive only grown one but defintly no sativa... I would say close to pure indicas and my buds are not that big either but they are getting pretty fat and dense..

Its a indica dominat with the way it grows and the speed..but compared 2 the other pheno i have..the buds arent that big..and they have long orange hairs like a haze plant..its still a nice plant tho

I'm not gonna look for it because it's late. Maybe tomorrow but this guy who has been growing for 20+ yrs in the ICMAG forum and is using a 1000w HPS + 400w CMH hybrid for a large grow broke down why CMH for veg then HPS for flower doesn't work. I mean...... real horticulture type explanation. With his education and experience he TRULY believes a CMH grow for small (1-4 plants) spaces will out due a HPS any day, but large grow he learned within the past 2 years dialing in the right amount of lighting that HPS and CMH will do everything multiple HPS's couldn't.

I can link to the thread but its like 250+ pages

Please post link as Ive not read hardley anything on CMH other then a thread I saw a ways back showing the color wave lengths.. would like to compare my results with his...
 
So....

Somewhere in this thread "whiterasta" gets all philosophical on the horticulture reasoning as to why CMH/Veg to HPS/Flo is bad. I'll find the direct link but here is a post link within the same 258 page thread as to his results of using 1k HPS + 400w CMH on a grow and the improvements he's getting along with next poster explaining that the trichs are growing on top and bottom of leafs

Sorry to hear about the nute burn...but I'm sure she recovered...the fix for her lack of nitrogen was to add a nitrogen only based nute during like week 4 or 5 of flower ...either way she still looking like frosty the snow plant...sure she will still be some awesome smoke..keep up the ggod work can't wait to read your smoke report

Im starting to think it may not have had anything to do with high nutrients levels or lack there of.. everything was fine till I switched over to HPS.. wich is weird cause Ive run MH to HPS with no problems... soon as I get some time Ill read over djsniffles link to see why some guy says its bad to switch from CMH to HPS.. who knows might have been the problem my next grow will not see any HPS at all and we will see what happens.. but on a good note shes drinking a lil over a gallon again so the roots must have healed up.. will start to feed her again tonight with a mild nute solution then monitor her water uptake and ppm to see how much she eats..
