I must say it’s been a great week for Pineapple 🍍 Express,,she has really taken to her environment and feeding well,!! Her leaves are telling me that she is really happy,,so the next couple weeks are gonna be important for me as I will be doing my best to get her pinned in the 2x2,,as well as i can before she races off to flower 🤞🍍🍍

This week was another good week. Getting frosty frosty and a nice color comes out. Starting this week too, just giving water till the end. I keep my garden at 11 degree celsius and they go good. Need no icewater i think. Have a nice week✌️

Day 80, the buds are hard to the touch and smell a lot 🙌😋 she continues the very healthy flowering 🙌 size 68 cm👏🏻👏🏻 temperature 24º C ☀️, humidity 60% 💧 watering 750 ml only with osmotized water 💦💦 Session 45 min. of binaural sounds for growth and healing 🎼 and music 😉👍 Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

Day 1 ....mostly LST to straighten the mains stems...I normally miss this tight window.. it reduces the risk of the stems breaking later.. Will top again this week. End up with 4 main nodes.

Very nice plant and awesome color. She is really good for hash making also.

🦍 cookies ancora pochi giorni ed è cotta anche lei.. buonissima,!! Ha un profumo delizioso super. I'attesa si fa lunga 🤣😉🤣😉

Howdy, here's a brief Week 9 update: It's become autumn in the tent! Temps are dropping, plants are showing signs of senescence one by one (although some reluctantly so, am I right SJ?). Headbanger, as expected, is finishing up first. Leaves are crisping up, colors are showing a slow, clean fade. I was pretty sure I burned her a little juding by the green tips, but Mephisto previously described this on the profile page, so maybe a little bit of both? Mango, finally cut out of the scrog net and turned 180°, got light-burned AGAIN and I am since giving her as many stable days as possible to get off the stress-edge, to retain those remaining beautiful terps. She is finishing faster due to a troubled history, but I am very proud to have her (alive at this point) and already learned a LOT about sativas. SJ is still watching the show from the corner, has settled building her rainforest canopy, and is just slowly bulking every day. Most content plant (well, as indica representation more resilient anyway), is hesitantly absorbing some Nitrogen from her fluffy, roughy, textured canopy. She'll let me know when things go south. Not gonna lie, OSMH, after some reasearch into her "natural" soil conditions, already caused me to try and wrap my hot dehumidifier exhaust around the pots, in order to avoid scary root temp collapses during nights towards 15°C. I am giving the plants warm-ish waterings to raise soil temps slightly, but watching her suffer more is driving me a little nuts. She definitely managed to take a scratch at the little pride I still had remaining 😂 I clipped some videos from my personal vid log, enjoy. I think I have a LOT of larf incoming 😓. Don't be greedy.

This girl is eager to grow so much so I was able to top her. As she is an autoflower topping is not always the best for the plant, but as I've sniped her nice and early only time will tell. Weather wise it has been a decent week with constant high twenties. Not bad for an English summer. Lol. 😜🤣☔️

Day 15 of flowering: reduced the Grow component to 2 ml/L to reduce N at the same time increased the ml of Micro, bloom components to 4 ml/L according to the Advanced Nutrients table Day 20 of flowering: I turned on the air conditioner to keep the temperature level at 23 C Watering volume week 8: Day 15 -21 - 500 ml per day

Hello my friends! Almost weekend, are you ready for it ? I can't wait, the work drained me soooo much this week! Good that this little Titan gives me so much joy and satisfaction every time im back home! Back to us! Today is friday and marks the last day of her 10th week. Today is kinda important, is exactly 77 days since the plant showed up from the soil. RQS is saying that normally this plant is ready to harvest in about 70 to 75 days. Mine is already 77 and is not ready yet. As you can see from the picutres and clips especially the last ones of this week...you can see that her trichomes are not quite ready yet. The trichomes look like they are 85%/90% ready right now, as I am writing this post. The pictures and clips are also from this morning, is all fresh material. Most of the trichomes are cloudy but you can still see that few of them are not ready yet, also there is no amber colour at all. All of this it must mean that the plant can go couple days more. This week and the previous one I was reading and checking online about this plant and her previous grows. I understood that the plant in reality takes a little longer to get FULLY ripe and ready. A little over 80 to 85 days. I will let her run for another week more or less, today is day 77. For peace of mind I am checking the trichomes every 2 days to don't miss it or be late. It would be a shame to cut it down right now. Why? I can see the buds getting bigger and bigger everyday! She's getting thicker literally in front of my eyes, especially in this late phase of flowering. I can see the buds increasing in size day by day. I am sooooo happy! Dope! So harvest probably next week! WATERING This week I've started the FLUSH cycle. The plant got 6 L of plain water adjusted to 6.3 pH and splitted in 3 watering sessions by 2L each. In all 3 waterings the drained water was around 1 liter. NUTRIENTS No nutrients this week, same story next week. Just plain water till harvest, the water will be adjusted to the correct pH. No more no less. The harvest should fall exactly on the day that marks 2 weeks of no nutrients. So actually with this we are really spot on! Perfect I would say. LIGHTNING The light is always 100%, 24/7. The only update here is that at the beginning of this week I lowered the light about 10 centimeters for this last days of flowering. Is an experiment...anyway my light is only 70 watts in the end. So I am not too worried about it, probably I should lower it couple of week ago to give that extra boost to the plant. But it is what it is, now is too late ahahahah. Anyways talking about the light...before I've got 25 centimeters between the led lamp and the plant, now is about 15 centimeters of distance. TRAININGS NO MORE training techniques were applied to the plant. At the beginning of this week I REMOVED all the LST that was trapping and keeping her strapped to the pot. I wanted the plant to BE FREE during the last two weeks of her life. Like a little treat and mercy for this beautiful prisoner ahhahaha. Removing the LST I allowed the plant to lift up a little bit more her branches. In this way the buds sites went up and closer to the led lamp, closer about 10/20%. Maybe is not much but in the end everything counts on the scale. We will see the results. The height of the plant didn't change in this last weeks, it reached 48 cm and stayed there. Actually after I released her from the LST last week, it gained 2 cm. So now at the end of her life the plant is 50 cm tall. The smell is strong and pungent, refreshing somehow. Very pleasant, I love it. OVERALL Everything is going well, just a little bit late on the schedule. The patience is the key for good and big buds! I CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE, WE ARE ALMOST THERE. See you next week for the final update! Stay safe y'all!

This weeks been good, I decided to lay off the nutritions this week and give em ph balanced water so they can soak up the nutrients they have and give em a rest. Next week will start with some bushdoctor bembe. Also got them sprayed with neem oil for big protection, looking glossy green

Blueberry Headband OJ Cheese Update Dec 29 Day 50 Flower Have noticed an immediate response from the plants after the leaching and light raising. 24” seems to be the magic number. Work up from 30-40% strength at seedling and gradually move up to 75% at the end of veg. By the third to last week of flowering should be at 100%. Have fed the Girls nutes Weds. Cheese got no N as it’s supposedly within three weeks of harvest. Next week will leach heavily and feed only water. The rest of the Girls got the full treatment. NPK and CalMag. This is three days after leaching. Tried leaving the exit fan on so the humidity wouldn’t climb too high during the evening. Turned the heater off as well so it wouldn’t be running constantly as the air was being sucked out anyway. The temp reached 59°F. A tad too cold. The next evening, even though the RH was still high, I left the fan off. Thought the heater was re-plugged in but no. Temp only went down as far as 62°F. Still too low but better. The third night everything was plugged in normally and 65° was the nighttime low. Acceptable. Going to keep the nighttime temp there for the remainder of the grow. Colors should appear. Blueberry Headband is doing well. #1 is sprouting new calyxes from the ground up and the flowers are turning a dark purple. It seems way ahead of #2 which seems to be behind them all. New calyx growth there as well but the buds are much smaller with virtually no red hairs while #1 looks like it’s almost ready to harvest if you were judging by the hairs. The aroma is intoxicating! The Orange Juice is leaping ahead! Looks like it’s getting ready to harvest as well but there has been an explosion of new calyxes and swelling hasn’t started on any of the babes yet. The Cheese may be starting. So, about three weeks for Cheese and 5 weeks for the rest. By my guesstimation, these should’ve been vegged for another two weeks at least. That would be eight weeks! Big learning curve this week as I metered my well water which I’ve been relying on more and more as bottled is expensive. Neither I nor my dog drink it. TDS is over 700 PPM. Almost double the safe consumption level of 400 PPM. Have leached the plants once more extensively using RO water with a final .5Gal of PHed water with SuperThrive.

Un altra settimana è passata e tutto procede bene.per fortuna non ho più trovato nessun nanners 🙏✌️💪..belle piantine mie, continuate così che farete delle belle pannocchie.... 30/8/24 gente ho combinato una bella cazzata.pur avendo esperienza, mannaggia a me,mi sono portato a casa dentro il box, il cazzo di ragnetto rosso... fanculo... Ho già iniziato a ripulire tutto, box e piante con Neem...li sterminerò tutti 😂..
