Pineapple Chunk by Barneys

Lights - HLG 320 XL V2
Tent- 4x4 Gorilla Tent light line
Strain - Pineapple Chunk by Barneys (freebie x1)
Pot- 3gal Maui Mikes fabric pot; eventually a 10 or 15gal smart pot
Soil- Pro Mix HP
Exhaust fan - 1 AC infinity 4inch
Oscilating fan - 1 tower fan
Sowed seed directly into 3gal pot just used some old pro mix laying around from a previous grow and added myko's. got it in the tent under 12/12 schedule. got some sunflowers in there finishing off as well thus it's under 12/12 only by the time the seed sprouts the sunflowers should be ready to harvest well majority of them at least. other then that just gonna give it water for now and add some bennies when it sprouts. will be using AN line again. will be trying a scrog as well for the first time since it's just 1 plant but other then that just the waiting game. hopefully it germinates because i had the seed in the fridge for a while.

Good luck

Day 3 june 6

watered 2L just straight tap water. lowered the lights down and set it on about 18/6. got to fix it tomorrow think i got it off when im home. got to set lights on during the evening/early morning due to heat issues.

Nice one I’ll be watching her grow bro.
Good luck

She’ll be right mate flowers are flowers weed or the sunny type

slacking on the updates been tired as shit after work mostly doing nothing but relaxing and finishing up my puzzle but not much has been going on with the plant. it's only on it's 2nd node. fixed the lighting schedule so it is not on during the cooler parts of the day/night and turns off during the hottest parts of the day. i have no AC and it's summer here in Hawaii so it's hot as fuck and unless i run an AC the tent alone is hot as shit. I started to pump soil with voodoo juice to bring in some microbes as the soil is reused soil from my last grow.

node spacing seems a LOT tighter then my previous grow though and if i am not mistaken the last grow was with a king plus 2000W LED so a shittier light basically. this plant is showing signs of heat stress though. idk if it's due to the light intensity ( have it on blast ) or the closeness ( i put it close trying to find the sweet spot for vegging but i backed it up earlier today ). looking okay for now i haven't added any nutrients thus far waiting for it to get slightly bigger. i've added silica actually via Rhino Skin AN trying to get that fat af stalk. should be ready to add nutrients some time next week though. i will be updating with photo's again some time this weekend.

This was on june 9

June 13

i have my exhaust on 5/10 atm if it goes into like 6-7 it starts to get pretty damn loud plus the humidity really doesn't drop and the temp doesn't drop either so not much really changes by going from 5 to 10. as you can see it's fairly green not super dark but a good shade of green. leaves pointing up ( heat stress ) could be heat issues or light intensity or both idk yet but working on it ran the silica to try and help with that.

soil is drying out fairly fast in about 2 days it's bone dry. only other thing i changed was i pointed my fans air flow down to brush the plant to train it. also upped the fan speed from low to medium.

plans for the future - 1. top it once it hits 5 nodes and top it down to the 3rd node. 2. LST to start training the plant to get bushy for the scrog. 3. scrog it.

i have NO idea how to scrog i mean i seen people do it but idk how to properly do it so imma have to do some research on that but i have a general idea basically gonna try to scrog the entire 4x4 tent though. will try to top multiple times. i typically only top 2 times max but this time since im scrogging i will try 3-4 times. i will be defoliating before i switch to flowering, then flower, then defoliate during flowering. forgot the term people use for this method but i think it's called Schwatzing? when you defoliate majority of the plants foliage and allow it to regrow so it looks bald. tried it with my last grow as an experiment it seems to work really good by allowing nodes to get more light. idk though i'll research

https://www.growweedeasy.com/schwazzing-cannabis this is what i was talking about some say it's bro science but tried it and it worked trying it again on this run see what happens

Im going to scrog the plants at the back of my tent, which I haven’t done before either. My tents 5x5 and can’t access the it from the sides, only the front so I cants scrog it all. I’m probably going to build a frame and buy a net. How will you fix yours to the tent?

June 15

plant doing okay still kinda moist the soil so i can't really do anything atm i have the tent door open a little because i can just feel the heat. i want to try and keep the door open 24/7 but sadly we have cats that will gnaw on the plant plus my dad and grandpa will complain the light is showing. tent has a decent sized hole at the bottom which i am pretty sure i made when trying to set it up the 2nd time in my new room was frustrated and likely yanked too hard to fit in the frame.

hoping it doesn't stretch through the nodes as it gets bigger because i have the light at a decent height at the moment for the heat stress issues. should be able to water it tomorrow or monday for sure. i will still need to transplant it as well. i know i can just lay the fabric pot into a bigger pot and it should continue to grow but idk if i want to risk it or not.

this time around im going to try and just fertilize once a week. i no longer PH my water since i have no car due to a accident caused by another driver totaling my car i have to basically save up to buy a new one. won't be for a few years until then. only thing i really need to buy for this grow though is a trellis net to scrog but thats later down the road.

will need to back fill soon though thus why i want to transplant kind of early my dad is using all of my 7gal pots and idk where the hell all my 5gals are but i have a 10gal i was planning to put it in but not enough soil at the time. got my old soil in my vermicompost that is working atm plan to use so of that in this grow eventually.

June 19

tried to upload top pic but doesn't seem to be going through for some reason. top looks okay though one weird leaf most of it is dark green and half of the leaf on a small section is light green like DIRECTLY in the middle. not sure what that is but looks healthy enough.

just watered to run off. sorry been slacking on updates coworker is in the hospital so been getting slammed at work all week. plant is doing fine though will be topping probably early next week most likely. other then that i fed just once so far like an actual feed not just rhino skin.

trying to get the stem fat as fuck so far it looks decent size but i want that shit FAT

Going strong healthy plant mate, how long will you veg her for?
Did that damaged piece of the puzzle end up fixable? Sucks

honestly idk cause i got so many factors going on right now involving this plant like the 3 males in the same tent luckily the males are not very developed yet to do shit but might pollinate it. plus still need to figure out the scrog issue i need to buy a net and i dont got a car to go to the store everyone is always working when i am off. i might just build one but i don't trust my skills building it we had butcher twine somewhere in bulk but idk if i can find it or my grandpa hid it. if that is the case im just going to LST the shit out of it and then let it grow in height. i prefer buying a net just cause i want to reuse it.

if i do scrog it i can probably veg it for a while think the longest i've vegged so far was 7 weeks just cause i try to keep it at a safe distance for flowering purposes. i will be topping next week then repotting into a 10gal in another week and then LST.

as for the puzzle idk been busy with work coworker got the week off and 2 of the 3 bosses are on a business trip so haven't really been working on it. idk if i lost some pieces too cat comes into my room stepping all over the table sometimes i find pieces randomly in my bed or on the floor but idk if there is one hiding somewhere. i just super glued it i mean honestly it should be okay it kept it's shape but might have gotten taller cause the carboard swelled up from the water and as long as it fits in it's slots i can just use a rolling pin and flatten it. gotta do that anyways before i glue it so it stays evenly flat.

I’d order the scrog of internet might be easiesr (for me Hawaii might be different)

yea it is easier tbh but sadly i don't got much money in my bank account. since i got no car i can't deposit all the cash i been getting and i dont got a check for work so far since it's under the table. there is a grow shop right near my house like a 5minute drive but it's a fairly far walk for me. sucks too because i don't want to ask my coworker to take me it's out of her way and i know she wants to go home. my sister is a workaholic too works 7 days a week.

i might just buy it online im pretty sure it's cheaper online anyways but my bank account is REALLY low right now since i got everything in cash. since my boss is putting me on the payroll and idk when i get paid likely biweekly that is when i can at least do mobile deposits not until early july i think

June 22

watered the males in, gave very little water to my pineapple though her soil was still kinda moist enough to go 2 more days. she is looking healthy imo heat taking a toll on her for sure. only 1 feed thus far but she is ready to get topped but i am leaving her to run until tomorrow or monday to top will be topping, possibly transplanting as well into the 10gal maybe and just watering in. will be giving another feed probably towards the end of the week if i do decide to feed i gave a full dosage so i probably should skip the feeding this coming week

so far this is my BEST grow in veg. 1,2,3,5,7,7 leaf structure and inner nodes are growing a lot quicker and faster then my last grow which was my old best with similar leaf structure. i am trying pretty hard to not baby it cause when that happens i tend to water too often and feed too often so im trying the opposite.

once the 3 males come out of the tent i will likely be adding my old air purifier to help push more air in the tent to kind of cool it down more i got my exhaust on blast though and all tubing holes except 1 wide open. might open up the front door a little to allow heat to further escape without letting the light fully shine through the room.

think the wrinkling is due to heat stress. hot as fuck here in Hawaii tent temp says 90F i don't doubt it and my lights are on full blast as well. if i were to put it on during the hottest part of the days it would likely be worse. today is especially hot lack of wind and im already sweating

EDIT- reading this and wondering why the fuck i put 1 as leaf structure like i was counting 1,2,3.. XD it is 2,3,5,7,7. im sure i will hit 9's but wondering if i will break 9's at all. i assume not and thats mostly for sativa?

June 26

repotted her from a 3gal to i believe 15gal. didn't expect the 3gal to get rooted so fast but that shit had a ton of roots at the bottom weaving into the fabric already. all i used was old soil i tossed into my vermicompost bin about a week ago. lots of worms in this pot and i tossed in some small decaying food scraps and old roots to kinda feed the worms for a little bit.

added some nutrients/additives like silicone, sensizyme, ancient earth, and b52 but no veg nutes to kinda help with the transplant. also added more myko's but i added it to the top surface only and watered it in so idk how well that will work out. i also kind of fucked up the transplant because the roots started to break off a little. the plant wasn't "ready" to transplant but the way i transplant is by transplanting early due to a theory that it will lessen the stress during transplanting been doing it for a while now and i don't come across any major issues.

plant looks over watered cause i just watered it in to fully saturate the entire pot for transplanting purposes. as you can see it's doing fine prior to topping though getting super bushy not much really going on otherwise same issues heat related issues as you can see edges are flaring up. nothing i can really do to fix that budget wise. once i remove the male plants from my tent RH and heat should go down a little bit.

lmk what you guys think. this is her final home will be slapping the scrog on soon hard to do that with all the males in the tent since i know they are going to come out plus plant needs to grow a little more height for me to actually start putting the net on. going to buy one today possibly and wait for it to come in mail by then it should be alright to slap it on. went with the 15gal ONLY because the next one down that i have is 7gal and all the males are in the 7gals seeing what this plant did in the 3gal i think 7gal won't be enough room.

June 27

spreaded her out manually by hand NO tie downs just to kinda open up canopy a little and get her branching out a little more. pattern wise imo it looks clean if i continue to do this get a good circular shape set up for the scrog and to kinda even out the canopy as well.

i probably should lower the lights down a tad bit tbh but i can't my dads plants are too damn high and none of them started to produce big balls yet despite they were producing some earlier from when they were outside.

seems like she is doing well after the transplant though idk if it grew a little or what. main branches are starting to get fatter.

June 29

did not water pot is still pretty moist it can go until tuesday most likely. i trimmed about maybe 3-4 leaves kind of open up the canopy a little without putting too much stress. will be undoing those ties im just doing that right now to kinda spread out the foliage a little. at that height it is WAY too low for me though wouldn't be able to water.

i don't need a whole lot of room to work with for watering but i do still need to buy a little extra time for my dads plants to gtfo. they are getting fairly tall for my tent to the point i aint moving my lights up any further. surprisingly though they are growing twice as good compared to when they were outside. stems fattened up and everything before they just used to look like skinny barely any foliage now they thick babies with lots of foliage for a straight grow.

if my plant is stunted after today or like growing slowly i'll give it maybe 2 weeks until i slap the net on most likely if not then at the end of this week i think i will be okay to throw the net on.

EDIT- undid the tie downs said fuck it will just continue to try and LST just by free hand but i think i am mostly just going to allow it to get more height for now.
