    My first girl, 7 weeks old Pineapple Express auto.
    Started flowering just few days ago
    Does she look good, bad or ugly?

  2. Been a minute since I've done an indoor grow, so hopefully someone else can chime in, but it looks to be stretching for light. Stronger lighting or bringing your lighting down will help with that. Other than that, looks great.
    Good luck!

  4. Ye,
    Should add more lighting tomorrow or the day after.
     
  5. Doing my research on the go, I got my light closer to plant around 2 weeks ago

  6. Led grow lights,, required watts per square foot of grow space is 30 to 40 watts using Samsung Diodes and other quality LED grow lights .
    Cheap LED grow lights i suggest 35 to 50 watts per square foot.
    Example is a 4x4 grow tent 16 square feet is 16x 35 watts = 560 watts with a average cost of a buck per watt If your assembling the lights yourself .
    I buy my LED boards from Horticulture Lighting Group.
    Allot of growers in here do or have assembled their own lights ,, its not a big deal .

  10. Very nice job, she looks very healthy. If that's a Fastbuds Pineapple express they do grow like that. That is the same structure I've seen the 4 times I've grown it. Not a huge yielding strain. But, you'll love the taste and high. You should consider leaving the inner growth about a week longer next time.

  12. It looks like you're in a 3 gallon pot. 1 ounce maybe 1-1/4 ounce dried. I get between 3 to 3-1/2 ounces in a 10 gallon pot growing in a living organic medium.
     
  13. It's actually 5 gallon pot.
    Ain't 10 gallon a bit overkill tho?

  15. In MOST situations. Yes. Have you seen what can be grown in 1-3 gallon pots with proper conditions and nutrients? I'm sure you have. Bigger is not ALWAYS better. 3-5 gal is the sweet zone.

  16. No, not for living organic medium. I used 3 gallon fabric pots and also 3 gallon air pots when running DTW using coco coir and bottle feeding. They are two completely different methods of growing. I yielded around the same 4 ounce average for auto-flowers using either method.
     
  17. In living organic medium. Bigger is always better. More medium means our microbes can process more nutrients making them plant available. It also encourages a larger root mass which directly relates to a larger plant mass and flower yield.
     
  18. saying with this in a constructive way, you are not getting the best from your LST. Goal is to have everything even and as flat as possible, so the plant can produce more chunky buds from lower shoots. I see on your pic that you are tying down the lower nodes. These nodes in a perfect situation should be at same height as the top. Next time, try to bend the whole main stem between let say node 4th and 5th.
     
  19. Good time to reply here bro.
    Just cut this girl few minutes ago.
    As it was my first ever attempt at growing, I had many problems n issues.
    All been taken care of.
    With all the problems she had, she didn't grow much and I expect 10-15 grams dry.
    Just had a taste yesterday and I'm more than happy with quality.

    These are my 2nd grow. Not much training still as I focused on other issues, so far so good.
    As of training, I plan to start from next batch to do everything properly and on time.
