Been advised cal mag so ordered a bottle an other stuff. Ph tester came still waiting for rest . Upped me nutes but the critical jack should be sorta ready in just over two weeks so a bit of advice would be grateful just to give me ideas of what the next step would be.when should I stop giving nutes or should I carry on til the end ? Cal mag should be here this week. I tested my water and from tap its 6.63 and standing in a bottle it's 6.86. The harvest guide to Pineapple Express is 65-70 days

I'm not really sure if your pots are too small. The rule of thumb is 1 Gal per month of grow, so for an average 8-9 week plant a 3 gallon pot is fine. A Sativa, being a 10-12 week plant could use a 4 gallon, but even then not imperative. For an indoor grow in soil, 5 gal pots are not recommended, not by me at least (holds too much water, not able to feed correctly). If you do DWC, or an outdoor grow, only then you will need the 5 gallon pails or bags.
Nice plants by the way, keep up the good work.

So your saying I need 4 gal pots is that rite as I got these pots with kit so thought I would use them then when they started growing an some one else said about pots I realized but unsure how much bigger if 5 gall is needed then I can get before I start my second as not going to disturb these girls now but will be prepared for my next one thanks also on my next grow they will be autos I have lights on 18/6 at the moment can I lower the time the light is on or should I continue with 18/6

You need 18/6 for autos, at LEAST. that's why I don't grow them, as it costs too much for the electricity. Do NOT use 5 gallon pots for an indoor soil grow. WAY overkill. Stick with 3 gal instead, because by the time the plant get's root bound, you will be chopping her. Back to autos. Some people love them, but I ain't one. Smaller yield for the same amount of time . They just ain't worth it, but that's my opinion. If you need more help, PM me. Oh, on a regular plant run 12/12 for bloom, I run 11 on 13 off for power savings, with no problem at all. Peace

Thank you that is pot size sorted and lights I have autos at the moment as it seemed easier for me I have other seeds to do but as my first grow I am learning about the nutes ect then I will feel confident enough to try other strains with yours and all the advice I see on here as I do read all an learn
