I am using two regular pineapple Express seeds from Premium Seed market.
After watching the movie again, I decided to pop these seeds
Wanted to give another breeder a chance and see what I could do on a budget basis with old, reused soil. The soil I use is from my first row where I had nutrient lockout in the last three weeks so hopefully the soil Will be OK. I did flush the soil with approximately 9 gallons about two weeks before harvest so hopefully it shouldn’t be much salt buildup. although I think I read that flushing really only gets rid of nitrogen, so I may have some problems. If it doesn’t work out, I will not hold this against premium seeds market.
This will give me a good chance to really read my plants.
I will keep in 1 gallon buckets, and I will flip these at the same time as my other plants that have a month Headstart.
As the seeds are relatively low cost, at two dollars a seed I don’t have much to lose.
I will need to be diligent about checking the sex, since I don’t want to ruin my crop.
If one or both are a male, I will try to find another place in the house and immediately flip to 12/12 and try to flower. them out and save pollen, or use one 1 of my future clones.
2/16
ReUsed potting soil.
Removed root ball. It still had some roots within it.
Mixed w epsoma planton 1 tablespoon.
1/2 tbsp gypsum
1/2 tbsp humic acid
1/2 tbsp bone meal
1/2 tbsp azomite
2 tablespoons earthworm castings mix in the top inch of soil
2/18 2pm seed in water
2/19 8:25pm tap root seen on 1. planted w 1/4 tsp mycorhyzeal fungi
2/20 small seedlings seen
2/21 planted other pineapple express w tsp kelp
Will see if Kelp or mycorhyzeal fungi is better for the roots, although there are already many variables. In future, maybe I will use both or just the fungi.
The first one had small seedling with seed stuck on cotyledon I removed w tweezer gently
I Applied 1/4 tsp mycorrhizal fungi around seed when I planted
2/23/2023 AM 1st Seedling small and maybe overwatered other seedling has not sprouted
2/24 AM other seed sprouting. 1st Seedling looks a little better
2/26 sprayed seedlings and removed dome will check on in a few hours
2/28 10 cc chicken manure tea
3/4 topped dressed one teaspoon crab meal, half teaspoon of gypsum pallets and one tablespoon of epsona plant tone
Watered with pH 6.0
