[TrainingPineapples]

Started the ladies a week and a half ago ... did SOG for ages abut found that doing a SCROG is less work in the end

6 strains .... California Hash Plant (DinaFem), Cinderella 99 (Brothers Grimm - PineApple pheno), PineApple Hash Plant (mine - Training Pineapples + California Hash Plant), Training PineApples (mine - Barnies Farm PineApple Express + Training Day (Lohan)), CB Dream (Crop King) and a cross of PineApple Hash Plant + what I call Jamaican grapes (aka... Ice in Jamaica)

The neighbourhood STINKS .
The neighbors better get used to it cuz if the hood stinks this year with 3-4 plants then wait till next Season when I have 10.
I went a little smaller this year by not watering as much and letting nature take its course.
Probably hand watered 6 times this year and let the rain do the rest.
Last year it was opposite, I watered every 3rd day and never let rain water touch the plants with that greenhouse I had up.
Way to much work for 2 people.plus still have a gang of buckets from last year.

You can probably tell that the one right plant was not caged and trained.
Just grew long and skinnyish.

See some Powdery Mildew!

This is a clone I put in the tomato garden.
Got some nice tight buds but is smaller than 1 branch on the trees lol.

Yep have my 10 to 1 milk/water solution I’m about to spray.
Works wonders for me if it’s not out of control .

Man some of my largest colas have bud rot . Seems like the Amherst Sour Diesel only, the Raspberry Cough seems ok. Good thing too it needs another 2 weeks. Time to cut all the big ASD dongs out of the garden and let the lowers do their thing. Most of it can be saved as it isn't very bad where I found it yet. Although I chucked a few. Next summer I will grow smaller plants indoors. Lesson learned!

That sucks man, I saw video of someone using a leaf blower to dry plants after rain to prevent this from happening, may be worth trying in the future.

watch those inner leaves for curl..easy to spot when yer lookin for it.
be careful with the dropping yellow leaves as well if you have any

a tarp helps when ya know theres gonna be rain

Be careful with that though, my leaf blower could dry your hair from 20 ft. My electric duster for cleaning out computers etc.. has a tamer wind, I would try that first.

I have an ED500 and that thing ripped fan blades off of a heatsink, would hate to see what it would do to plants. I watched a video on instagram of a dude hitting his plants with an electric leaf blower, claimed to do it after every single storm for long enough to make sure the water isn't just blown into the cola's.

edit: Apparently others do it as well

I recently posted a leaf blower vid to IG...was maybe mine you saw...lol!

Anyways....leaf blower tech works awesome, been using it for years. Just make sure to dry the plants thoroughly to make sure colas dry out. Use electric or cordless only, exhaust fumes are bad JUJU around the ladies.

It is very possible, I think I started following you there after Jordan did a cross with one of your strains. Was your video one where you were saying you normally do it for more time than you did in the demonstration video ?

Thanks man, yeah that would work for outdoors. This was in my indoor tent. Plants are 7 feet tall and it's 30+ outside dehu says it's 42 lol, but the canopy is thick and the buds are huge.

Not all is lost. 75% of the table is still good (for now keepin an eye out). Just harvested 1400 grams (wet) also, of some nice ASD.
