Pineapple Express Auto LED DWC

Starting up a fresh grow of Pineapple Express Automatic from Dinafem. I've grown this once before and I enjoyed it, so trying it out again with my new upgraded rig.

Let's see a lay of the land. Right now we are on day 3 germinating in the supercloner.



Once the babies get far enough along I'll move them down to the veg chamber. This is an old superlocker that I've tossed an LED light into for vegging and moved my flowering into a bigger tent.



Once this last automatic grow is done I'll be starting a perpetual cloning cycle using the new 3 chamber setup. Finishing up an automatic I had growing under a 150w hps until the upgrades.



I have plenty to learn, so I'm hoping to make many new friends here.

Feel free to comment in-line with the journal, I think it helps follow the progression rather than flipping to and trying to coorelate a separate thread.

How much did you get off your last Pineapple Auto? And how strong is the led?

The last pineapple was grown under a 150w hps in the locker (very confined) and yielded about an ounce. I'm hoping for better this round. The veg is a 90w LED, and the flower is a 240w LED.

Day 10 Update, though still early so not much to report. Keeping water balanced, right now just some Root 66 in the water to get some growth going. In 4 more days they'll start to get some low level veggie nutes.



And Day 46 of the Critical Jack Auto that started in the 150w locker, finishing in the new setup. Not up to full potential, but I'm happy with how it's progressing. I'll start the flush on her next week.



The buds are starting to fill out on her, and she's real damn frosty with goodness. Any tips on pushing her to finish strong at this point, or is what's done is done now?

Hey, Real nice setup JennaHaze420!

I've always been skeptical about LED's looks like its working out for you! Is this you're first LED grow? Those critical jack are looking good and the 10 Day Pineapples too!

I'll def stick a long

This is the first LED grow, yes. We were using a small 150w HPS before that came with the closet, but that thing is rubbish. Hoping to get more out of the LED, but we won't really know how it compares until the Pineapple's since I can directly compare a full grow cycle. As always I'm obsessed with trying to find ways to improve though.

SuperLocker is a total POS. I have one. You are better off growing in a closet.

This is sadly what I have learned, but I'm moving on and it's serving well as a veg locker now

Hello again all of my friends. I'm here with an update for Day 18 with my Pineapple Express Auto grow. We trimmed up a bit this week as the girls start to flower, and pruned out some of the week freebies I had tagging along in the back row.



In addition I'm finishing up the Critical Jack. The girls are looking ready, so a few more days of flush before they get snipped.



I also planted my Blue OG seeds this week, which will *hopefully* start my perpetual grow. Let's see how that rolls out.

Happy Holidays

Here's my weekly pic update, my first one of the new year. The girls are starting to show some signs of life for sure, and it's going to get scary pretty quickly I think. Clearly these SuperPonics rigs are not geared for stacking bushy automatics together. Any tips on how to keep this wrangled in I would greatly appreciate. I'll be doing whatever I can, but since this is an automatic I can't do much trimming at this point. I trimmed them almost bare at 2 weeks for this exact reason, but I might be able to trim some more until I see the branches start to alternate. Unfortunately picked up these auto seeds before the upgrades, so I hadn't really planned to grow them in this manner, it just worked out that way. We will do what we can.

That might get totally out of control. Subbed and good luck!
