Indoor FF Farm [French Frag] (6 Fast Buds autoflows) Pineapple Express X Six Shooter

[Zeytan]

Hello !

I've been quite curious about Autoflowering seeds lately. I've heard good and bad things about them, so i decided to figure it out myself. The choice of strain was one of the hardest i've ever done. I turned myself to Fast Buds seeds.

My set up:
- 90x60x180cm growbox (0,54m2)
- 6 x 11L Cups.
- Gold Label, Special Mix Light
- Winflex 125, with a carbon filter and a silencor. (Outside of the box to let more space)
- 400 W HPS.

I took 4 seeds of Pineapple Express et 4 of Six Shooter.

Light/day::18-6:

Hydratation Day (Monday) - I received the seeds and hydrated them into plane water. (No PH control)
Germination Day (Tuesday) - They got hydrated in the morning, so i put them into coton to germinate. 7/8 of the seeds germinated a little at night, so lets plant them. One is still sleeping. I took the 6 most developped. (No PH control)

---1st WEEK---
Day 0 (Wednesday) - Light cycle turned on. I realised the seeds were a little too deep in the soil. I put them a little upper. This little change gave me the opportunity to take a look at the roots. They are healthy, and fully germinated. It's good the plants are not showing up yet, i've got trouble setting good temperature. 40% of Humidity for 29-30°C...
Day 1 (Thursday) - The all 6 plants showed their heads. 2/6 of the plants dropped their seed. The Pineapple Express seems to grow faster than the six shooter. Humidity is at 50, and the average temperature is 27°C.
Day 2 (Friday) - 4/6 dropped their seed. They all are grown up. 40% of humidity for an average of 28°C.
Day 3 (Saturday) - The plants are looking healthy ! The 3 Pineapple Express are growing the first leafs, I really love them. I think they will be very strong, can't wait to feed them. 1 Six Shooter seem to be a little weak, I don't know if she gonna last the growth, but I've seen late plants giving a quite good harvest, so let's see what happen. Also, it's a lil weird, but one of my plant has a twisted leaf, don't really know where it's coming from. Any Idea ?

Here is few pics of my box at day 0.

The little thing down the light, between my two middle plants is my thermometer.

And this is my extraction set up.

Here are some pics of the 3 Pineapples Express at Day3:

And the Six Shooters at Day 3:

And The Twisted One...

Here it is for today
Hope you enjoyed it. See you later mates.

Day 4 (Sunday) - I realized my light may be too close from the plants (approximatively +40cm), while it should be around 60 with young plants... I fixed the height. Also the soil become to be really dry on surface.
I didn't feed them that much (less than 2 liters) at day 1. So i humidified the soil a bit. I'm trying to get the soil as dry as possible without killing the plants, until the next feed at day 6. It's the last time i deal with watering this week.
The plants are really Healthy, even the weaker ones are doing fine, they are catching up their delay.

I'm preparing the nut for the Next Feed. I don't want the plants to burn, I go easy on the nuts.
For 10 liters, I'm adding:

• 2ml of Hydropassion - Master Grower - Vegetative Grow. (Normal level)
• 4ml of Hydropassion - Master Grower - Flowering Stage (Half the Normal level)
• 1,5ml of Hydropassion - Master Grower - Xtra Roots (Little more than Half the Normal level).

7,5ml of nutriments, into 10L of tap water. The EC should be arround 0,3 - 0,4, and I'm gonna PH this shit down to 6.5. I really think the plants gonna like it. Can't wait to feed them.

Also what do you think about this ?

Day 5 (Monday) - Good day for the plants, they are healthy and growing. I fed them with 1L of tap water, because the soil was really dry even at the bottom... It is too early to give them nutriments.

Day 6 (Tuesday) - OH MY GOD, I can't believe I was stupid enough to completely shut down the extractor for my Girlfriend to sleep. Humidity went to 90% during the night... My plant are getting 6 hours of dark (18/6). Few plants were injured in the process... They are slowly recovering, I'm afraid i stressed them... Let's see what happen. I'll give them 1 hour more of light.

Hi Zeytan! you got very good autoflower Genetics!!! I have grown the Pineapple express.. Its stinks real bad!!! and is very potent!!! If you can work these girls real hard and take your time and read about them, you will have so much smelly cannabis in a very short amount of time..

This was my Fastbuds Pineapple .. I miss her so bad!!!

 

[Zeytan]

Thanks The Elvis.
I read about them a lot !!! I really like what you did with your Pineapple Express, such a beautiful girl. The phenotype is so colorful. How was the smoke ???

I really hope I'll get a plant as healthy as yours. The genetics of the Pineapple are impressive, these plants are really strong, adapting quickly.

Here's a pic of my Best Pineapple at DAY 6:

Okayyy it's time to feed the girls ,and give them nutriments.

I didn't control my PH with the 2 first feeds, so I changed my mind about givin' them half the normal schedule, instead I'm only gonna give them a quarter of it. Transition will be smoother, and my plants (crossing my fingers) are not gonna burn.

For 10 liters, I'm adding:

• 0,5ml (1/4 Normal Level [2,0ml]) of "Hydropassion - Master Grower" | Vegetative Grow
• 2,0ml (1/4 Normal Level [8,0ml]) of "Hydropassion - Master Grower" | Flowering Stage
• 0,6ml (1/4 Normal Level [2,5ml]) of "Hydropassion - Master Grower" | Xtra Roots

3,5ml of nutriments, they're almost not gonna feel them . Less is More .

Day 7 (Wednesday) - I think I've never had a better idea then feeding my plants with nutriments today, they look so much healthier. They really liked it. I didn't take pictures, but I'm gonna take some tomorrow.

First Week completed. One of my plant is really slow. I don't really know what to do with her, i hope the nutes will help her !

Day 9 (Friday) - The soil is getting a little humid, the plants really seems to enjoy the nutes I gave em.

Day 10 (Saturday) - The soil is dry, it's time to feed them again, and we are gonna boost the ladies.
For 10 liters, I'm adding:

• 2ml of Hydropassion - Master Grower - Vegetative Grow. (Half the Normal level)
• 8ml of Hydropassion - Master Grower - Flowering Stage (Half the Normal level)
• 2,5ml of Hydropassion - Master Grower - Xtra Roots (Normal level).

12,5ml of nutriments, into 10L of tap water.

Day 11 (Sunday) - The ladies are good drinkers. No burns.

Here are the pics of the Six Shooters (excuse me for the orange color of my HPS):

So here is the girl that worried me a lot, she got a little mutation on her second set of leaves. You can call her NEMO (the fish).

Here is my strongest and my best plant so far.

This one had a serious delay, but she managed to grow real fast.

Now let me show you my Pineapples Express:

This one is growing perfectly.

My second best plant so far.

Strong girl too.

See you later mates.
