Pineapple Express and Sub-Cool Long Beach Private Reserve first day in Flower 4/29

[Skidmarx]

Sir Patrick, you've managed so much without a butler or grounds keeper, bravo dear boy!
Question: do you use a light Meter to gauge efficiency of your lights over the canopy? You seem to have it dialled in again bravo! We must have lunch at the club sometime what what!

Thx man.

No light meter. I just listen to the plants for most of what I do. They seem pretty happy with our interactions so far.

Day 28

Awesome man looks like a sweet setup

I love that pineapple express strain

 

[Sir Patrick]

Been seeing burnt tips...then some leaf blotching and possible chlorosis....though K deficiency, lock up- or both, on the Pineapple express.

Took some water/nutrient tests-

Tap water (for flush)- TDS- 260 PH 5.5

Ro Water for nutrient additions and first flush to collect flush water to be tested- TDS- 7 PH 5.5

Flushed water out of fabric soil pot- PE#1- TDS- 323 PH 5.6 and PE #2- TDS-360 PH 5.6

Dosed a shot of advanced nutrient overdrive last night, and today looking a ton better.

The SCLB Private Reserve also had some heavy leaf blotching, but none of the burnt tips.....everyone got the K shot of overdrive and have turned around nicely. By my water results I believe I am sitting pretty on soil salt content.

I must be a week late on adding the K suppliments on both of these strains.

Nice when people catch & resolve it early. Good Intervention and action.

Thx. Reactivity is necessary in most everything I do- and this one is top 10 priority on my list.

So far, last grow and this one, and have been listening to my plants as much as I spend time, investigate them, ect…..

I swear with the little current grow and significant old school knowledge Ive gained, what these plants tell me while listening outweigh what I am seeing through my own eyes. Its like they know Im finally listening to them and are communicating.

Day 33 SCLB Private Reserve-

 

[Sir Patrick]

Day 33 Pineapple Express-

 

[Sir Patrick]

Awesome man looks like a sweet setup

I love that pineapple express strain

I am diggin the pineapple express strain also. Small sharp leaves, dark coloration, orange hairs, and especially bud growth pattern.

Looks like it will be 6 inch + long bud sticks stacked for bag appeal.

The smell is amazing also.

 

[Sir Patrick]

Man....these guys just don't give up....ID? Guessing spider mites....

 

[Sir Patrick]

Start of week 4. Another round of heavy defoliation and no more signs of spider mites in 6 days-

Pineapple express holding up more weight with ease....
