Grow Mediums Pineapple Express Autos

[shinto]

I'm at 8 weeks and some of the trichs are turning amber, and one of top colas is starting to develop purple colored buds. Are the purple buds an indication of nearing harvest or should I continue to push my plants to 10 weeks ?

Depending on how you like your smoke some people harvest when the trics are all cloudy for more if a heady buzz, some let the plant amber up for a more couch lock buzz..... Last Pineapple Express I grew went a lovely purple just with cloudy trics and the smoke was lovely. It's really up to you at this point :Sharing One: Can you get some pictures up? From the sounds of things you should probably start your flush... Best of luck

Thanks, I'll get more pictures up later tonight, I wish I had a better camera ! My only problem is that I have two plants in one 7 gallon container, one plant is about 1.5 weeks ahead in flowering because I stunted the other by accident. The plan is to give these ladies one more feeding in hopes that the rear bud sites will mature during this last feeding and the flush.

I have two plants in this one res, Is it possible to use florakleen or anything else to flush my system and harvest one plant, then continue growing the other one out until its ready ?? It's only lagging behind maybe 2 weeks max

possible and if you want you can but i wouldnt do that. most flushing agents have chemical in them to simulate the hormones of a late flowering plant. what will happen is it will force your second plant to finish even if its not ready, bad thing about growing in one pot or res its best to harvest together, so some times it forces you to wait until both are done.

That's exactly what I figured, and I'm def gonna try my best to wait til the stunted one is ready for harvest. I just don't wanna sacrifice too much potency !

 

[Magic]

depends how much longer you think the stunted one has to go. i say if itll be ready in 1-2 weeks dont worry about it. but if you looking 3+ weeks left on here i'd say cut the first one if shes ready. what you do is flush using plain water for the first one and use the flushing agent for when you harvest the second. then you can see if the agent is helping you buds or not. im dont do hydro but have read and learn in classes about hydro i think that could work.

That's the top turning purple, I've read that its an indication of preparing for harvest. This is the main cola for the 1st plant, the leaves look really waxy in contrast to the second plant which looks much more normal and cannabis like lol

Side shot of main cola #1, it's pretty dense and has good size on her

Week 9. I trimmed off a lot of the fan leaves because I think I might pull this one in a week or so. Some say to let the leaves die off, what do you guys typically do?

The 2nd plant in the back may need 2 additional weeks.....Sucks cause the weather is getting warmer and I don't have the tools to keep my res super cool ...

Great job! looking very good. In the future, I would like to grow this pineapple strain. Can you please tell me something about the smell during flowering? I have to choose plants with not so strong smell.
