OLD REVIEWS What Happened? Pineapple Express Auto by G13

[xrdax]

I have grown hundreds of plants so I think I know what I am doing, But........ there come a time when one cannot answer all problems in a grow.
Here's the story, planted 8 auto plants 6 were complete by 65 days except the 2 Pineapple Express by G13 they grew like hell for 25 days to 20 inches then stopped growing for the next 3 weeks, they did nothing but make more leaves and bud sites but did not flower or grow at all, I jumped started by giving them 12/12 light and after 2 more weeks tiny buds started to appear, i switched back to 24 hr lights, they stopped growing again, back to 12/12 and now they are flowering again very very slowly, very tiny flowers but lots of leaves loaded with trichomes they are at day 77 from seed, worst case I can always make edibles from them, I believe bad genetics, and they want to be a Photo and Auto at the same time make any sense?
Anyone else have an opinion on this mess? Thanks

Possible revegging. How close are tour plants to the light and what kind of light are you using?

Some breeders do not carry their projects far enough to eliminate a photo appearing occasionally, or a "fast photo". 12/12 is the answer. Reverting to 24 may cause her to want to reveg.

I'd 12/12 her just to see how she would come out. Would like to see pics if you do

Up Date using SolarXtreme 500 at 24 inches over canopy 36x36 tent

Thanks for the help 12/12 is the way they want to go..... buds are getting a little larger but lots of snow on the leaves, never saw an auto with almost 30 tops WOW! worse comes to worse I can always make edibles out of the heavy frosted leaves and small buds, looks like at least 2 or 3 weeks more to go for some kind of finish, I will load a final picture of both plants.

If they decide to take off you'll have one hell of a yeild!

Hey, I love that you put this up because my last run I had a "Stardawg" from fast buds do that exact thing. It looked balls on just like yours. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures but all the bud sites were filled in badly with leaves. I just chalked it up to genetics. I also thought about trying 12/12 but I had other autos in my tent and didnt want to take away from them. However I did leave them on 20/4 and they didnt seem to do much better, so you are prolly better with 12/12.

Have 2- Zkittlez from FastBuds not flowering day 46 but many bud sites due to LST training.
In the same tent I have gorilla glue and pineapple express auto both are flowering just fine ...(my 4 th gro)... Never had this problem yet I averaged 2.15 ounces per plant.
Like one poster said maybe just the genetics, the plants are 12 inches tall 10-12 bud sites very bushy...
Thanks for the info on 1212 lighting will try that.
Comments welcomed!!!

Well I’m close to that I just stuck them in my atrium gets full light so what the hell two more house plants in my atrium until flower... update it’s five years later now and they have finally started flowering...ha ha ha.
I’m just curious to see when they actually do flower if they do.(at least the other six plants pineapple express and express gorilla are doing great pictures below)
Attached a pic of a Temple ball I made from ice water hash... The only heat it ever saw was from my hands (Used large wooden flower roller to originally compress and break open trichomes, then roll into a square a log and hand rolled into a ball for 15 minutes +-
