600w Pineapple Express & Power Africa

Yeah I was going to do a SOG setup on my flood table just to be more energy efficient and have like two grows during the winter and stock for the rest of the year, but i'm thinking that it isn't a good idea to have that # in an illegal state.

I'm going to keep my 4 plant setup and cycle them in pairs every month. Chop 2 a month. Will be enough for me and my partner to smoke on, barely. But it's better than having to buy off of shady people for outrageous prices. Prohibition, sigh.

That booster is for pulling air into the tent through the duct from the room when the tent door is closed and plants are in flower in the main room. That's why there is all these elbows, to block light from exiting.

Another sigh towards prohibition.

Why does some weed spark? Like it'll be burning fine then a part of it will spark and crackle. It's always weed i'll get in September or October too, never any other time of year.

I used to be able to sleep fine thinking it was a bad flush, but now i'm too educated to think this.

What was the overall quality of the bud in question? I get that spark you speak of when I miss a stem before I pack the bowl or when its alil on the too damp side.

Supposedly Bubba Kush. The bowl I broke out this morning I made sure to not include any stems and didn't get a spark. I've definitely had bud before where it just sparked no matter what and burned super fast(havent see that stuff in a 4-5 years thank god). This wasn't that extreme just some sparking that wasn't a flint shaving and some crackling noises.

Just packed another and made sure to look for sparking and didn't notice any. 2nd bowl today same thing. The bowl I just smoked did a little. I think i'm just going to return it.

The bud is light green dense nugs, red hairs, very sparkly inside and out, sticky like the buds will stick together if pressed and stick to the baggie, but not moist like it's too wet. Under 30-60x you can see lots of short trichomes on the leaves and long ones on the pistils. Lots of amber colored heads and some black even. I imagine this bud was pulled very late to see dead trichomes. It's not overly heavy like its been sprayed down to add weight. I think I just got too many stems in the bowl last night, I didn't even notice putting in any to be honest, but I didn't make sure to not put any in.

I'll keep an eye on this.

Day 33


Front - Power Africa
Back - Pineapple Express


Power Africa

Power Africa - Frosty already


Pineapple Express - Calyxes are starting to connect on this both tops

Day 42 today.

Pistils are turning orange and getting thin now on some nugs, almost like they got burnt, but they didnt. Took a leaf sample off the 4 strains, got a 50/50 ratio of clear to cloudy and like 2% amber. I forget when I flipped them so i'm guessing today is Day 42 or close to it. I know within 4 days of when I switched.

I'm guessing 2 more weeks, start a flush at the end of this week.

DAY 44

1st picture shows them all

The 2nd picture shows Pineapple Express, but I think I got a different pheno than picture 3 of the 2nd pineapple express. 2nd picture is a lot skimpier towards the top cola, and all the other colas are tiny in comparison.

4th and 5th pictures are Power Africa, which is packing on weight like pineapple express did last grow. I think I might of got them mixed up somehow but im not certain as i've never grown Power Africa before to flower, they always died on me. Doesn't matter I guess, will all smoke the same.

Working with beaster plants again as you can see. The light is about 5 feet off the ground and the plants are 4ft and some change most of them all came to about the same height.

Nice work man, im about to ditch my PE as ive run her for the last 7 months so time to move on.

Thanks...Maybe you can tell me which is which then,

These are my last two seeds, had 4 but 1 never came up and the other germinated in the towel too fast and spit off cotyledons in the napkin. Sucked.

The first time I grew it I put it into flower at like 9 inches and by the time it was done growing produced 2oz and was like 3.5 feet tall. Figured good things would come this time since I vegged it fully, one is packing on weight like crazy and the other is skimpy.

I gave a cut to someone who did the same mate, couldnt tell which was which form his other strains, neither could i looking at the pics lol, as i said to him the smell should tell you, very sweet fruity smell PE has. I did a 5 pack and there were two phenos short stocky one and a right lanky one, had 3 of the short and 2 lanky and i kept the best short one. I found them a decent yeilder and very quick to finish. Heres a couple of pics of the the first run and what i ended up with. The middle one of the 3 is my keeper pheno which ive been running.

Yeah I have a lanky and a stocky one now.

The stocky one has tops about 2 inch in diameter that go down a bunch of nodes, about 6 inches long.

The lanky one barely goes down 1 node and is about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch diameter. The lanky one has huge stems, I thought it'd produce huge colas too, but it didn't. You can see the difference of the two in the pictures.

I'm going to get another 5 pack some time and run these again.

I am doing a PE Auto right now and it is of the lanky variety. It is very pungent though.....I expect it to be very tasty, fruity bud.

Well the lanky PE is showing a what I think is a phosphorus def. Not surprising seeing how the bud output is shit and the roots are tiny compared to the other plants.
