Edit: Now doing Outdoor grows. Welcome! I'll be doing organic Micro grows using LED lighting. Here's some info... Cab Dimensions : 35"/27"/15" Soil: FFOF base, amended with aged horse manure, bone and blood meal, azomite and pebbles for drainage. Using 1 to 2 gallon containers. Nutrients: The only nutes ill be using are 100% organic just like my soil. Big Bloom, Fish fert, and some various organic teas using chicken manure, horse manure, bone/blood meal. Very basic organics and will introduce more as I go. Lighting: 300w Apollo LED panel. I'll be constantly adding different organic amendments and making new teas with each new grow. I will use this thread as a grow journal for myself to keep notes and I welcome anyone to tag along! I'll add pics weekly and notes every few days. My plan is produce incredible smelling and tasting medicine that's completely organic. I'll be doing Photos and Autos. Right now here is my 2 week old Pineapple Express Autos. EDIT: This is now an outdoor thread.
These Pineapple Express Autos are from Barneys Farm. They claim 65-75 days from seed so we'll see. They sprouted Jan 12th. They leaves are very broad and round. Very indica looking plants. The one on the right in the pic in the op was topped, the one on the left was not. It appears shorter because it is. It had a tough time breaking free from its seed shell. They are enjoying their rich mix in 1 gallon Smart Pots. I don't add perlite to my mixes. I use natural pebbles and sand for drainage. I've given them 1 feeding of fish fert so far with another soon to follow. My cab temp runs around 81-84F. Which is a tad high but not a deal breaker. They seem to be quite happy although I'm working on getting humidity above 40%. I'm thinking a bigger circulation fan, a humidifier and my adjustable hangers I ordered for raising my light will solve my heat and humidity issues...
Raised the light a bit today. Light is about 10-12 inches from the girls. The topped one showed pistils today. The other one should be right behind her by a few days.
Both are showing pistils. Both have transferred into flower. I expect they'll stay very short and won't stretch much. I'd really like to see them stretch out but I don't expect it being the are so indica. I gave them a dose of big bloom this evening. Offically on bloom nutes.
Got my mix cooking for my next grow. I'll let it cook for 2 weeks. Should build up some microbes nicely.
They look healthy, haha and don't doubt the stretch, I doubted my indicas too till week 3 haha http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1352607-1st-grow-on-12-12-from-seed
Hahaha never doubt the stretch! Lol http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1352607-1st-grow-on-12-12-from-seed
Alright, day 30. Both are in full blown flower mode and filling with bud sites. I gave her a bat guano/big bloom tea last night. She seemed to really enjoy it. A bigger tower circulation fan was added and brought temps down in to the mid/upper 70s. Looking good.
Day 35. They seemed to have finally stopped growing vertically. The one I did not top is about 4 inches from the light. I still have room to move my light up if I need too. But probably won't be necessary. They get a dose of bat guano and big bloom in every watering now. They are taking it fine. Next water ill give them a fair dose of big bloom.
Day 41, buds are starting to really gain size. This stuff smells so Damn fruity! Trics everywhere. Looks beautiful!
Okay, prepared for my next go. Dinafem Critical Kush. Soil mix contains the following... Fox Farms Ocean Forrest base. Worm castings Bat Guano Bone meal Blood meal Azomite Chunky Organic perlite (my first time adding perlite) Peat Humus Peat Moss Cow manure compost Adding a top dress from Build-a-soil.com that contains Compost, Worm castings, bat guano, comfrey, neem cake and gypsum. Will be giving light regular feedings with Alaska Fish Fert and Fox Farms Big Bloom. Will germinate the same day I harvest this PE.
