Didn't add all my pictures will post the macros in a new post
What week of flower are you in
What ppfd or lux what type of light and how high are you hanging it what what percentage do you have?The light turned up to
Week 4 just starting
I added all that to this post ppfd is 760 51000 lux and it's a California lightworks solar Xtreme 250 full spectrum LED 200w actual draw it was leaflys choice for best light for 3z3 veg and 2x2 flower for 2025 it was 370 dollar not a cheap burple at all actually going to add a second next grow even tho I am happy with what's happening right now denser bud equals more weight in the end right? Plus I like growing 2 at once the synergy and symmetry is just beautiful to watch and how much just like us they all have a personality of their own some hate LST some love it some hate topping some love it some stretch some bush some are in between I am loving what's happening sofar
Also it's hung by pulleys from a bar and it's 13" above canopy currently 12" is the max ppfd zone so I'm safe but right there getting max ppfd which my plants both love
I broke my own rule and opened the door during dark time to get some pictures without the light making the top buds invisible from brightness first 5 are pineapple Express last one is my little lady a white rhino plant
MACRO PICS!!! First two and 5th pics are pineapple express the rest are white rhino , pineapple has those orange hairs starting to pop and slightly yellowish to off white pistils where white rhino is showing purple/lavender hues covered with white as white gets pistils
Nutes dropped grow completely as of today kept micro at 5ml and bloom at 7.5ml pineapple seems to be in her happy place right there
Water 1.5gals
EC feed-1.7 runoff -1.8
PPM 850
Temperature 26.2°c
Humidity daytime - 38% night time -43%
Pineapple looking so good she's ahead of schedule which makes me so happy she is gonna stink so good here in anothsd 7-10 days she's already smelling strong and she's got a nice blanket of trichromes too

Ty ty 🙏👍
When will my buds swell up they have looked basically the same for over a week
What you growing in and what you feeding them
Have you increased your bloom amount and lowered nitrogen
Looking at the pictures you posted last. There's a lot, in the lower canopy, that I would have taken out
Coco and grotek bloom and micro
Yes and yes stopped using the grow nutrient two weeks ago now an only use bloom and micro which I’ve increased bloom from 5ml to 8 gradually
I tried to save as much as I could so I cut out only the worst sites when I did I took out five branches and 8 or so bud sites but I can see where you say that
Water
Nuteslasf feeding with mutes pure water till the end now starting to get cloudy on the tricromes and buds are noticeably larger too I took a two day break from peaking in on her besides seeing if she needed water fed her with 10ml bloom 5 ml micro and fed rhino 8ml bloom and 5ml micro
Well I guess tomorrow morning is harvest day according to this should I trust it?
I wouldn’t trust it. Ai?
Those trichomes still look clear to me. 8wk of flower? I heard wk. 8-10 is the hardest wait ever
Yes the tricromes checker on this app
I thought so too but multiple sources have said they are mostly cloudy a few clear and a few ambers just not good pictures
Decided to hold off for another day or two let her really show me she’s ready but I just don’t want too much amber on pineapple as she’s a sativa dominant hybrid so to maintain sativa effects I want less amber if I understood the books and videos correctly.
Harvested the whole plant with white rhino as it was smaller and everything was ready together cut down ten mins before lights on today after checking trikes and seeing about 20% amber color in pockets all across the five buds I checked can’t wait to taste her but planning for a 7 day slow dry hanging em upside down on hangers then curing bags with rh 58-62% to cure for two weeks before sample full cure complete in my mind around week 4 but not taking them from those bags for any reason until smoke time unless I put them in airtight black glass jars to await their final destination… my lungs haha will wet trim when I get back home in a hour or two
Drying rack one chamber full and two small buds I put one above w a humidity meter and temp checker stuck im with them to monitor rh and temp, to counterbalance dry desert conditions I put a moist towel in the bottom chamber
Other am I the only one who takes the dry sift material and runs it thru a grinder to break it up more and let the screen separate out the best of the best smoking keif or hash making kief from the less potent or better used for edibles material?
Grinding it up only puts more plant material in your sift. The less you break the plant down the more potent your kief. Whole buds makes better hash. Kief should be light in color not green. 🤙
Thank you for the advice, I suppose I have been lucky there is no green in my kidf when I just inspected it it is all light light yellow as it should be. Maybe the screen on my grinder is small enough holes in it that it still prevents plant matter sufficiently or maybe it's luck either way I took your advice and discontinued grinding it down instead I am putting it directly on the screen and closing the grinder And shaking it and bouncing it slightly off my knee or palm on the bottom and side to knock the good stuff thru quickly and then dumping the remaining plant matter into a jar, I can tell I'm not getting 100% of it but that's ok I want to decarb the sugar leaf remains leftover and the stems in order to make butter to cook with I am ok if it's low potency due to me doing this for the keif but I am betting if I only make 2 sticks of butter out of the ounce of two of leaf material leftover it will have some benefits for my anxiety or at. Minimum name smoking a bowl after eating something with it in it and giving it a hour that it will amplify effects of smoking
I like it when they spread easily like this . Some just take to the top this must be one looks good 👍
Yes pineapple express loved training and topping no stall no droop just continues on like it was born for these tasks lol rhino on the other hand hated everything fought me tooth and nail so with the remaining two or three seats from her I'm just going to do what I did I'm going to talk her twice maybe three times and just let her go but with the pineapple clones and the seeds I have left I am going to train the shit out of them
I ran pineapple muffin once pineapple train wreck x blueberry muffin took the top and training great it did everything I wanted . Great terps too pineapple and a good catpiss skunk . I’d like to run it again
Heck yeah! I am loving how she smells already white rhino is getting her smell a bit now too the combo is making me drool haha I would love to get my hands on some dj short blueberry seeds/clones I loved that strain that and headband and gg4
