day 28
so last update for around 9 days its growing really well now look healthy cant believe how squat it is, theres not even an inch between nodes, still havent added any more nutes only water, i measured around 480 ppm but my ph said 8.7 but i think i left it on and it needs to be calibrated, build and test fit the net looks good it has a bit of growing to do before it reaches it though, i will be flipping it when i get back and start to train it into the net then the fun really starts ha.

Sweet setup mate, respect.
Looks like she is getting over the burn ok, maybe try to go in at a lower ppm now? is the res smelly? - btw, in response to your flowering time in my thread - my mate grew Barneys Pineapple back in UK and chopped it at 7 WEEKS.. I brought like 100 quid off him to take to a festival it was so nice in flavour. Very stinky. Not the strongest though... On my list to try tbh though having smoked it - maybe take to 8/9 weeks for the full potency.. But you may well get her done for xmas is she starts picking up

nah the res isnt smelly, the plant is starting to stink tho but fresh citrus and bit like a tomato plant, yea pineapple chunk is crossed with pineapple and shunk #1 X cheese, barneys say it will flower in 50 to 60 days that would be awesum but try find a PC grow anywere that finished that quick haha! everyone who grew its says its amazin bud but not worth the long flower times, i think what i have is closer to the description BF gives its 80% indica its so short and the leaves are really fat so im going to blindly trust BF and hope it does finish in 8 weeks but i have 10 as a max before chop anyway.
its only around 4 inches high about on its 7th set of leaves...

whats the best light for weed,the sun mate,that day was 34deg outside,they grew an inche that day,any time i can veg them in the sun il do it,better then any man made lighting,i defoliate all the fan leafs,dont need em,if you defoliate at the right times the plant will trn its energy into into buds instead of growing new leafs,all trial and error mate,if ye ,ever try ye never know,im still learning mate,your plant looks great so what your doing keep doing,keep me posted lad

no dont get me wrong, i was only saying that i have my lights directly above my plant around 10 inches away, it doesnt move and no clouds etc so that might be keepin it short i hope im wrong and its just a indica and itll finish quick but time will tell, if i could stick plant outside i would but my situation at the moment needs to be stealth.

we have to be stealthy aswell mate,but we couldn't resist putting them in the sun.they love the sun,them plants i showed you on the window cill are 6ft tall now so maybe i shouldn't have veged them for so long,there only budding 5 weeks still have 5 to go,luckily our grow room is 14ft tall,im only 6.1 meself,all trial and error mate.i know for the winter we wont be veging for long coz im only doing autos,we dont have the time now to veg if ye get me drift lad,happy growing mate,i hope shes done for Christmas for you mate,all the best lad she looks great

well i am still away and can only have someone check on it every few days and growth has pretty much stopped and it is now showing major signs of nute def, even some brown spots which is cal def i presume, i will be back in 2 days but have asked my minder to top it up with a weak solution of nutes hopefully it will pick up its amazing how quick it can go from healthy to dying, it a steep learning curve but hopefully she will recover again. any more of this and ill be reported for cruelty to plants.

What PPM is she on? are the roots ok? You got calcium and magnesium deficiency there and looks like Nitrogen too... Get a Growth CalMag product, half strength in the solution. What nutrients are you using and is your water RO?

Yea cal mag on the leaves but it nitrogen aswell basically everything iv been away and have a reluctant minder she will get topped up with nutes today and hopefully recover, im using flora nova bloom and my water is filtered tap water around 90ppm im not sure whats in the res the minder wont look but ill find out in 2 days...

Flora Nova Bloom?! haha Why are you using that and not the grow? Grow has cal, mg, iron and nitrogen in it. Could be your problem? Best of luck sorting mate
