Been trying to find my keeper of the pineapple kush this one seems to be packing on flower earlier than the other pheno from last time also has a way fruitier smell up front already.

Wins the contest thus far but I got like five I just popped to weed through to find the mother. Love the flower though for a nighttime smoke very kushy with fruit on the back and a good yielder.
Put into 12/12 4-26 so a waaaays to goes

Liberty haze definitely my best plant yet. Putting on a late flower show like the hazes are supposed to lol I will be taking this plant pretty early to guarantee the reveg since I have no clones as it was a puny thing in veg, went in the flower tent and took off, but it was a one bag seed run lol light lemony hazey funk can’t wait to smoke it!!

I gotta let this thing go at least though it’s starting to look so dope lol

Couple updates of the outside girls and boys.

I think that’s it for the early spring pollen grab trick though. Had three nice males I collected a bunch of pollen off of though. Could make enough seeds to grow until the end of time if I wanted haha

Lights out flash on pic of the lemon lava

Someone get this man some Grinspoon or something!!!!

This plant cant be left to go out a virgin in the end. That simply will not do.

Harvested the liberty haze today right around 9 weeks. Personally would have left it longer but I would rather make sure I can reveg this plant so took it while I still had some nice green growth on the bottom.

Such an easy plant to trim literally the pile is all I trimmed from this plant. I’d guess about 4.5 - 5 ounces but I will update when it’s dry. A trimmers dream, took about twenty minutes to process this whole plant. Not one piece of larf lol

My mom came over for lunch so I brought it to her like a bouquet of flowers lol.

So after convincing myself I can grow in my basement using cheap t5 hand me down lights and bag seeds I decided to yo my game a little bit. So starting a new diary to track my progress. Going into what I guess you’d call my third grow. Kind of a mosh mash because I got rid of all the plants from bag seeds I was growing from herms causing herms blah blah lol but the new set up is

Flower tent 4x4
Flora gear 700 watt led

Veg tent
4 54 watt t5 led grow lights.

Growing in 70/30 coco perlite

Veg nutes
Fox farm grow big
Cal mag
Bio rhizotonic

Flower nutes
Advanced nutrients sensi bloom pro series a+b
Advanced nutrients big bud

So my plan is rotate plants in two at a time a few weeks apart so I can have a semi constant harvest. Right now I have 2 lemon lava and a Pineapple Express that I flipped to flower super early to sex and took clones. They are about a month into flowering. Then I just added a psychosis and a psycho berry.

In the veg tent I have a few more psychosis, psycho berry, liberty haze, lemon lava, Pineapple Express and pineapple kush.

Just buy a tent friend!!

Maybe one day

What.. wait… where’s my bouquet

 

[closettrapper217]

What.. wait… where’s my bouquet

You deserve a more colorful vibrant bouquet. Gotta wait until I harvest multiple strains at once haha

Alllllrighty, cleaned out and organized the veg tent today so figured I’d show what is going on in there. Got four of the uk psychosis going into the flower tent next. After that a bunch of different stuff from @Thatoneguyyouknow_ including (but not limited to) peaceblaster, queen b, and pb4 x haymeadow that I’m very excited for.

It’s been entirely too cold and humid down there in the cold dark corner of my basement surprisingly even though it’s been pretty nice outside. Got to start opening the basement windows and airing it out more and dial that in. Pretty sure the 80% humidity and 68 degree temps are causing all the funky looking kinda flat leaves but they growin! lol Now that I’ve got the flower box dialed I’m going to be tightening up and redesigning this whole veg area soon.

They all look nice. What soil and nutes are you using?

 

[closettrapper217]

Coco and advanced nutrients sensi pro with tarantula and big bud at the moment.

Cutting the liberty haze off the vine now that it’s dry. The chemmy funk came out way more during the dry compared to while it was growing where the citrus was way stronger. Definitely the type of smoke I like.

Ended up with like 85 grams so got to step the yield up a bit. But this was the first time I grew this strain so I had no idea it was going to stretch the way it did. Hopefully it will reveg and I can really do this strain what it deserves.

Damn it still won’t let me post faaackin videos it’s pissing me off lol

 

[closettrapper217]

When cleaning out your veg tent turns into tearing everything apart and possibly redoing the whole basement lmao

I’ve been fighting humidity in this wet ass corner (probably because it’s next to the leaky ass pump for my well, I know I know. It’s a new,to me, house. I’ll get to it lol) so going to probably set up on the other side of the flower box. This is completely not what I set out to do when I started but it is a little better.

All this is with a dehumidifier running in the basement nonstop

My veg area was between 85-90% humidity and only like 70 degrees for days literally ripped the door off then I was trying everything from leaving the bulkhead open and windows. Multiple fans pushing pulling air out of there and couldn’t get it below 85 it’s already down to 75 but this pump is getting bad, I’d rather move them now and not get flooded haha

 

[closettrapper217]

Lemon lava getting close. Posting some pics before I cut it down in a couple days and forget lol

 

[Greenadian]

Now thats a fine looking specimen!!

 

[closettrapper217]

Now thats a fine looking specimen!!

Thank you sir. she smells even better than she looks. I’ll grow this strain forever 10-10 would recommend if you like lemon strains that actually tastes like lemons lol

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

yea those buds look pretty fuckin phenomenal.


Btw you can veg with t5s like 6 inches from your plants. They can usually get within an inch or two without burning if theres airflow, and they only burn from the heat stress lol. I grew exclusively under t5 while cutting my indoor teeth for a few years because i preferred the flower quality compared to a tiny 90w hps lol. (and honestly i think its still better lmao, you just only really get a 6" deep usable canopy with em in flower) Used em as my veg lighting for years with hps too.

Dont just drop it all at once, but if you slowly drop it or raise the plants, you can get em up to about 450-600 ppfd with most in veg, well fed in coco.

Thatll let you boost to upwards of 800-1000 ppfd safely with properly maintained rh and temps at the 12/12 flip without issues. And overall more larger flowers will be the result most likely. Plants will enter full fat mature growth in veg sooner as well. Hell i run em hard like that even if im getting a bit of transpiration stress somewhere. A bit of light burn or transpiration stress dead center canopy is just a sign the bulk of it is in the sweet spot anyway. Anything above 400 will give you quality flower for the most part. But If you can keep plants maintained and fed well enough to run em higher, its like the one thing you can do as a grower that is guaranteed to increase yield, increase quality, and shorten turn around time. All of the above.

You will find out pretty quick which plants need more dialing in on their feed regiments in flower too doing that fwiw.

Yeah I definitely have to get some adjustable hangers tomorrow so I can move it up and down.

Tell you what though it sure is nice having them things up on a table. Way better than having to bend my fat ass over all the time lol
