Update so i think i won the hermie battle lol but who know havnt seen a single banana in 2 weeks! so i think i am in the clear for that also i have some yellowing leaves i know this but pineapple is done in 7-9 weeks i read here on the web somewhere so that could be why because the purple afghan is a 8-9 weeker and they are not yellowing like the pineapple so part of it i think is due to my nutrients not having enough N which i will fix next go around. these types of grows are about dialing it all it that is it once you have it you will be set. i think i might go with the pineapple strain as it seems to like the SOG the purple afghan didn't get tall they are just getting fat so depends on weight but by the pics it looks like pineapple takes the cake on THC production let me know what you all think we are bout 4 weeks in now! Pic 1 pineapple, Pic 2 Purple afghan, Pic 3 Purple afghan, Pic 4 Pineapple

i have yet to find out this is the first run in this cab but i do know that the purple afghans are half the size of the pineapple but a bit bigger flower on top so my final weight will be a sorta guide when im done i guess but also i am taking at 7 weeks instead of 8 as this is the high i perfer so i will let you know in 3 weeks as it has been 4 weeks already, this week is last week of nutes then straight water and molasses also all trichs are clear and some starting to turn cloudy

You shouldn't chop early buddy. Your buds can almost cobble in size in that that last week. And me my self if I want a certain type of high I would invest in the proper genetics to support that. That's just me tho. Not saying you doing it wrong or anything because to each his own. But I really don't think chopping early is good.

well the pineapple is a 7-9 week strain and purple afghan is a 8-9 week strain everywhere i have read says your harvest window is about a 2 week window now when trichromes get cloudy they are ripe and full of thc then start to break down to cbd or cbn can't remember at the moment. at week 7 usually most indica dominant strains are fully cloudy with some ambering in week 7. Last but not least if you have a 8 week flower time you have 6.5 harvest a year if you have plants ready to go when the others are done and ready to dry. Now with a 7 week flower time you have 7.4 harvest a year so if you lose a bit of weight, i dont know how much but i will find out over time! But whatever i am losing i am surely gaining with a extra harvest a year. it will also help experimenting when i get my other 250w hps and make a shelf in the box to have two levels of flower space no need to waste space! when i get this setup i will run all one strain and keep one level a week longer just to see if there is a big difference in weight as i am sure people would love to know
P.S. alot of your doubling in size is just water weight i believe think about it you are starving the plant? it is drinking up water to find nurtients but there is none because you should be flushing!!! well thats my theory and im sticking to it and i know other people around dunno who but i have read it somewhere that it is alot of water weight packing on in the end that "we" just dry out anyways!

Pineapple on the left and purple afghan on the right straight from rooting to clone only 8 in tall mostly all bud will be doing a random strain indica dominant next run hoping they come out about the same as these going to expand my cab with another level and add another 250 hps so i can double my output hopefully!
