Day 21

Fed with /gal

10mL Grow Big
10mL Big Bloom
10mL Tiger Bloom
10mL Cal Mag
ph 6.6

5.5 days with no water, starting to get wilted





About an hour after watering. Happy and perky again - ready for another day! :)


Pretty nice & even canopy, if I do say so myself! :)







Branching - topped, two main stalks. Camera was literally inside the plant for this shot.


I still feel like these plants still have some grow left in them, I feel like they will keep getting bigger for a week or more.


... the adventure continues! :mrgreen:
That looks like you going to have a nice harvest with that PE, Looks beautiful

Depends on pheno, but the PE seems to be very stable from seed to seed compared to a lot of genetics I've worked with. As for the smoke, it's a good 50/50 hybrid high, without putting you down at all which makes it a great day smoke. Smells are slightly fruity (pineapple undertone) with a pro-dominant musty/skunky kind of smell. I've only found a few phenos that surpass her in quality and it took over 2 years. In the 14th round right now and she still holds 1 plant spot...One I don't plan on letting go anytime soon.

Day 25 today


Watering with 2 gal h2o per 5gal pot. A slight flush, the first time I've ran extra water through the pot. Just going to wash out excess salts so balance out the soil. Will full feed next week.


After their flush










Temps holding steady, humidity fluctuates 25-35%. HPS bulb is about 10-12 inches from the tops. Might push it a little later, going to try to keep under 78F during lights on though.



They smell very nice. Reminds me of tropical smells. Like someguy put it - mostly musky /chronic smell, with some fruity pineapple almost vanilla undertones.. I'm finding it's quite similar to maui wowie in smell, but slightly sweeter, like more sativa and more fruity/lighter on the musk. This definitely smells like the pineapple express I had last year, and that stuff was pretty excellent. So I'm quite excited :).

Beautiful buds sr, I had some pineapple express around Christmas time, best smelling/tasting bud I've tried, this shit smelled and tasted just like pineapple. I've been looking for a strain with that much of an intense pineapple smell. Very interesting grow I'm gonna be sticking around C;

Thanks bud.

Yeah the PE is really promising, pretty much as you described. I had a lot of it too last year, and it was a very enjoyable smoke. The kind of stuff you could smoke every day all day for weeks without getting tired of it, and it also seemed like I was slower to build a strain tolerance to it... So yeah, I'm excited :).

Day 26, after lights off.

Wow. It's becoming clear just how much this 400w hortilux is outperforming the 250w hortilux. This thing rocks. Soo glad I upgraded, this makes getting my medicine so much easier, effective and efficient. Seriously, 6 inch venting is the way to go. :bigjoint:

putting things in perspective



edit: posted this last night, but the server must have had a hiccup when I was drafting, and I couldn't post the photos. It is technically day 27 now (june 13).

Looking great man! My pineapple is growing a little different than yours I think. I still need to update my grow. The plant I had going for the grow in my sig turned out to be a hermie and we made some bho out of it and holy shit. :eyesmoke: It gets you super stoned. Anyway, I'm subbed and I'll be getting some pics up soon.
The guy I got my seed from had another of the same and he gave to his buddy and he said it was ready for harvest in a little over 2 months I believe is what they said. They're thinking they might have made it an auto flower but I'm not sure man. I'm still pretty new to growing but I'm doing good for what I know.

Thanks! And ohh no a hermie! :( *knocks on wood* no Hermies over here thankfully :lol:.

PE takes about two months to flower, so that sounds about right.
