These pics are from my last harvest. The macros in order are Pineapple Express, Strawberry Cough, and Trainwreck. The big nug is pineapple express (5 oz wet off the plant) and I think it shrank down to like 1.3-1.5 oz. This supports my theory that the larger the nug is the higher percentage of its weight is water. So like huge nugs have more water per nug in them than small nugs.

Last grow was a 10 gal DWC w/ three 5" netcups. Technaflora/GH nutrients with everything from the technaflora starter kit.









Frosty looking pineapple express in regular size pie pans haha

its really hard to get pics in there sorry for the crapshots.



What do you guys think the problems with the affected leaves are? I know that on some of them it is heat but also I think I'm having a lil nute burn in some places and maybe the temps are a little bit low at times.

ya I'm assuming nute burn because the ppm in my blueberry res is 1330 X.X IDK how it got so high I am going to do a complete res change for both pineapple and blueberry, which will be quite a mission seeing as they really fill up the tent.

so I decided to think outside the box (or tent, here) and decided to drop the plants a few inches and feng shui the canopy so the light hits as many bud producing nodes as possible, this is dangerous as the stems are somewhat weak and I expect to have to support some of these branches so they don't break under their own budweight (an issue I created by not running a fan on them young).

also this arrangement allows for easier tending to the reservoirs and plants and is spreading the light more effectively accross the entirety of both plants while allowing for more space everywhere. tight spaces are fun.

30 something days flowering now - 20-30 days left on the pineapple, 35+ on the blueberry I'd say. It needs time to bulk up and recover from that pythium.

Pineapple looks great, needs a new air stone / diffuser very soon though but it is happy and budding nicely. The blueberry looks good in spots but pretty bad overall, unhappy, I hope she recovers within the week and gets to that bud producing. pics posted when the forum works again.

Dbo, what nutes are you using, and what are you running your EC at?

I load it up about 900 with Floranova bloom, then add some koobloom and GH Floramicro to about 11-1200 (EC 2.4). Once I fill the reservoirs I add myco supplements. I pH to 5.5 or so, kind of haphazardly at times as the blueberry was at 6.7 the other night :|, which reminds me I need to top off the pineapple res tonight.

I haven't yet changed out the pineapple's reservoir in the last 2 months.

My nutrients scheduling technique could use some work I tend to add too much then I have to dilute it with pHed water and in the end it doesn't work out as well as I want

picked up cal-mag and some gravity bud hardener and mixed up an ultimate reservoir for mid-flowering goodness it is 1150ppm. 600ppm floranova bloom, 300ppm cal-mag, 100ppm koolbloom, and the remainder was the gravity bud hardener.

cal-mag replaces the gh micro for a good source of calcium, magnesium and nitrogen.
$18/quart, ~30 ml added

gravity bud hardener has sea kelp (a great organic tonic) and B Vitamins which are reportedly helpful in reducing and preventing root rot, general root health, and bud density.
$38/cup, 10ml added
