Indoor Glueberry OG x2, Night Queen and Pineapple Express with Skyline LEDs

[Teetee]

teetee bro they look amazing for 30 days.

They are literally exploding with growth, and have been since the start..... looking at all the Skyline grows on this forum, I can see everyone getting the same thing, really bushy in veg.

@muddy-ledhhydroponic you need to provide us with machette's if we're gonna test these lights properly!

Its day 38, and they are looking great....

clockwise from top left: NQ, GB2, PE and GB1.

Night Queen is probably the most advanced in terms of flowering. There's plenty of bud sites at the surface of the reasonably flat canopy....

She has not stretched very much - standing at just over 50cm, instead she got very bushy and grew in width so I had to give her a bit of a trim down below and internally, to thin her out a bit and let the air in. I might open her out with some stakes this weekend, if I can pull my finger out.

This is how she looks underneath....

I was quite savage, as I didn't want loads of popcorn, now I can let her concentrate on making thick hard colas. As this week progressed, I did the same to all the others.

Pineapple Express is stretching the most at the moment, she's 75cm high, and looking sweet. I have also thinned her out and chopped her undercrackers out.

Glueberry 1 is stretching nicely as well. She has heaps of tops showing, so I'm hoping she'll be another big girl.

Glueberry 2 has recovered from her little blip, and is also stretching nicely. She won't be as big I reckon.

Feed has changed a little, I ran out of Nitrogen Boost midweek. Just in time really, so I have upped the A&B to give me a bit of N in the mix while they still stretch, and I started giving Bud XL. They still get Cal-Mag, Drip Clean, Roots Excellurator and Multizyme.

EC is at 0.9 still, but the GB1 and NQ are thirsty as hell, wanting about 6-7L a day, while the GB2 and PE are drinking 4L or so. I will probably make up an EC 1.0 feed for GB1 and NQ while I just tweak the feed for GB2 and PE down a bit.

To be honest, I think they could all do with a bit of staking out..... I have been pretty lazy on this grow, but a bit of effort this long weekend will really pay off later on.

That's it for now, thanks for dropping by!

Very nice teetee bro.

Very nice teetee bro.

Cheers @otuaflower they are storming away.

Here they are today on day 47 basking under 4 Skyline 400W units.....

.....and a little closer showing from top left, Night Queen, Glueberry OG2, Glueberry OG1 and Pineapple Express.....

The only way is UP!

PE is the tallest, she stretched nicely in the main cola, and the sides have been staked out (finally!) to let the light in......

and a little closer.....

NQ being 100% Incica, is the shortest, but most advanced in terms of flowering. She might be hiding behind PE, but she's got some girth on her.....

Her buds are developing nicely with a nice flat canopy, and she's already giving off that sweet strawberry milkshake aroma that I love so much!

The Glueberries are also getting big. GB2 had a shaky week mid veg, so is slightly smaller than her sister, but she stretched nicely, and is full of flowering tops, so it looks like she's gonna give me a nice result......

Here's another shot of her.....

GB1 is another monster. If I had the space I would really open her out with some stakes, but I have no more width available in this saggy 1.4m x 1.4m tent. Mind you, I could try and open her up just a little.... I don't wanna disturb the roots too much though......

Both Glueberries have shown explosive side branch growth...... little shoots just push their way up through to the canopy giving a huge amount of tops. The stretch is not just in the main cola, all the side branches have stretched just as high, producing a tall hedge rather than the Christmas tree look like the Pineapple Express.

The weather is out of sorts for this time of year, an unusually hot and humid spell, but inside the tent it's 27°C 75%RH

Feed is made up from EC 0 rainwater with 0.3ml/L Cal-Mag (I have increased it from 0.2ml/L now they are in bloom). I then add 0.5ml/L A&B then Roots Excellurator (0.3ml/L), Multizyme, Bud XL and Bud Ignitor (all at 1ml/L) to make an EC 1.1 mix. I give that to the Glueberries and the Night Queen, then add a litre of water to dilute it to EC 0.9 for the Pineapple.

I dunno if the (Advanced Nurrients) Bud Ignitor does anything, but it has a NPK of 0-1-2, so I figure its a nice transition from high N levels in Veg before I start really cranking up the P and K next week. Looking at my spreadsheet, I can see NPK was around the 10-1-3 mark in veg. Then I reduced the N and increased the K over the past 14 days to the current NPK 3.5-2.5-6.8.

Next week I will do 3-4 days of PK13-14 and then move onto Top Shooter. for the final few weeks.

PK 13-14 will change the NPK of my feed to 3-14-18, while Top Shooter will make it up to 2-20-11.

My Bluelab Guardian is playing up, so I am not sure of the pH of my nutes..... I found in previous grows, I had to add half to three quarters a pippette of pH down depending how far I am into the grow.... so that's what I do now.... a little squirt of pH down but there's no accuracy. I'm hoping the buffering capability of the Coco is keeing the pH in check.

All looking good so far though, looks like I'm gonna get a nice haul! Thanks for looking in, and good luck with your grows!

Great setup and grow teetee. 200w per plant that the way to grow man.
Are they still stretching? This going be monster grow.

Looks great bro.

Here we go then, day 56.

It's not been a good couple of weeks.

The plants were all doing so well, then one day I noticed the PE getting rust spots on the tips of her uppermost large fan leaves. I was in a hurry and shot off to work.

When I got home I was too knackered to look at my plants, so next day I was alarmed to seee a lot more rusting going on.

It was creeping up the leaves, and the affected leaves were probably half rusted by the time I decided to pull my finger out.

I've been lazy with the feeds, mixing up one 20L bucket of nutrient to feed all four plants..... 5-6L each gives no run off, and I've been doing that for at least a week.

Also the Night Queen and GB1 want higher EC feed (like 1.0 to 1.1) while the Pineapple wants much lower (0.9).

In previous 'Multi Strain Madness' grows, I've made up separate buckets for each plant, but that's been beyond me these last 3 weeks.

I've just been making up an EC 1.1 feed, then giving that to NQ and GB1, then I'd add some water to the nute mix to bring the EC down to 1.0 and give that to GB2. Finally I'd add more water to the nute mix making it EC 0.9 and give that to the Pineapple.

So the Pineapple showed rust spots because all that dilution had reduced the concentration of the Cal Mag. I started giving her individual feed with Cal Mag at the usual 0.3ml/L and it stopped progressing immediately.

Previous pics show yellowing of the leaves in my plants, but a lot of that is due to the intense light coming off the Skyline LEDs. This is GB1 on day 53 with lights OFF.....

.... and this is her with lights ON......

The leaves look worse with the lights on, but I can't be arsed to sort out the white balance on my camera!

You'll also notice I finally managed to put some stakes in and spread her out a little. I did it over the weekend, so this is how the tent looked soon afterwards from the side door on day 53.....

clockwise from top: GB1, PE, NQ, GB2.

The Night Queen is coming on very nicely there. She is packed full of chunky colas.....

Being a 100% Indica, she's not as tall as the other hybrid strains, but she's close!!!
She has a wide flat canopy and the buds are probably the most advanced out of the four plants....

This looks like being the best Night Queen I've grown so far.

The Pineapple, as I said earlier, took a bit of a kicking on the Cal Mag front, so she looks a bit fucked....

Her buds are developing well, and have a good frost on them already, but those leaves......

Luckily it seems that the rusting was only in the upper larger leaves, but the main cola took quite a hit. Despite all that, she looks like giving me a nice amount of sticky bud!

The Glueberries are at different stages. GB2 is slightly smaller, and more developed in terms of flowering. That can only mean GB1 is gonna be another monster!

Now I have staked GB1 out, she is absolutely huge!

You can see how many secondary colas she has in there.....

Looking at her main cola, you can see how far behind she is compared to the others.....

Glueberry 2 is also doing very well...

..... the buds on her are a lot fuller than her big sister.....

I gave them all 5 days on PK 13-14. Giving PE a EC 0.9 mix, and the rest an EC 1.1 mix.

Now they are on Top Shooter, at 0.5ml/L, with Bud Candy, Bud XL, Roots Excel and Multizyme all at 1ml/L. Cal Mag is at 0.3ml/L.

I still don't know the exact pH of my nutrient mix,,,, I just squirt a bit of pH down in the hope it's doing the right thing.

My Bluelab Guardian shows a pH of 10.4 when I test it with pH 7.0 buffer, and it shows 'error' when I try to recalibrate it. Luckily I've just taken delivery of a Bluelab pH & Conductivity probe care kit, so hopefully I might be able to rehydrate the pH probe with the KCl and recalibrate the unit.

Just got a letter in this morning.... the Landlord's Agent wants a house inspection in a months time.
I think the GB1 will be an issue..... my current plan is to have the other 3 down and drying in boxes well in time, and just move the GB1 into the outside garage for the morning. The tent is pretty easy to take down and put up again

Thanks for taking a look at my grow, here's how they look as of this morning....

clockwise from top left... NQ, GB2, GB1, PE.

The next couple of weeks are gonna see some fat hard frosty buds developing.... More soon!
