Nice stacking @Spaded ! I love my pineapple express. They always give me more than my other strains! Are you trimming your fan leaves? Mine tend to shoot out sideways and slump with weight, you better get some hangers! CHeers mate, luck to your grow!

Thanks man appreciate it, I’m having an issue right now with my witch doctor leaves are turning up and drying out, even the top of the main kola almost feels dry I have no clue what’s going on it’s on the same regiment as the pineapple is any ideas?

You know those almost look a little like fat foxtails to me...how close are those 1000's?

They’re about six or so inches off the tops of the plants but they’re not putting off much heat, I held my hand under it for a good couple minutes and I was mildly warm but never even got close to being to hot. Any idea why that one is getting crispy maybe just to close with the light?

TS1000 goes 12 to 18 inches from the plants in flower. Heat isn't the only concern. The intensity of the LEDs can dry or damage the buds.

This is straight from the Mars Hydro website. Google ts1000 and go to Mars Hydros site, scroll down to Grow Tips.

.Recommended Hanging Distance Above Plants

Seedling: 24'' Germination: 24''-30'' Veg: 18''-24'' Flower: 12''-18''

Damn now I feel like a moron I never even thought about that i can’t believe I over looked that possibility. Thank you very much sir I appreciate the time you took to find that for me, I greatly do thank you so much.

Here’s a current picture of my Pineapple Express just loving life.

No sweat I have a ts1000 and three ts600, got a new 600w coming from a diff company.

I like using the 600s because I can get a wider spread of light. Two 600s put out 200w from the wall, a ts1000 puts out 150w.

 

[Spaded]

So in your opinion then since you’ve used these before and this is my first round with them, would you say that two ts1000s in a 4x4 green hut is sufficient?

 

[Apoc]

Coverage in veg is 3x3', coverage in flower is 2x2' so coverage won't be perfect but pretty good.

The center will be well covered with overlap but some edges get lighter coverage.

I wouldn't sweat it I have some monsters growing under 2 ts600 but only 2 plants per 3x3 tents. You should fit 4 in a 4x4 without to much overcrowding.

Are you doing autos as well? If so when do you notice them put on the most bud weight? In the last week or two?

 

[Apoc]

I do mostly autos, 3 tents 3x3 with one tent for seedlings and pre-flower autos.

Two or three autos per tent depending on size.

The last couple of weeks the buds stack on but it depends. I have some power plant that have steadily grown to 8 inch tall 5 inch wide. Critical kush they just exploded the last few weeks.

The power plant are a fun grow if you get a chance. LST them with the main cola bent below the other bud sites, spread the limbs some and watch quart jar size flowers explode lol. Seedsmans Power Plant are killer.

Awesome I’ll have to see if I can find some of those for sure. I was just wondering this pineapple is almost through week four, and doesn’t really seem to be getting very dense I just started using black strap molasses in my water I was told that would help put on bud weight and make them rock hard. I’ve never used this before but came from a 35 year grower so figured there has to be some truth to it.

 

[Apoc]

I just use Mega Crop and Fox Farms Happy Frog dirt. I keep Cal/Mag around because autos love Cal/Mag.

I've got some 3 part system nutes and bloom booster and the whole rodeo of nutes but so far Mega Crop at $10 a kilo and a 2/0/0 Cal/Mag keep them green and fat from seedling to harvest.

I was spending like $100 a grow now it's like $15 start to finish. Oddly enough even the sugar leaves stay green all the way through.

I've been seen molasses used but mostly for super soil organic grows.

These bruce banner 3 freebies I got must be autos, I got a male and a female definitely showing in my veg room, but they weren't marked that way. I topped them pretty early not knowing they were...wonder what that'll do. I dont really care I think im gonna polinate the crap out of the female anyway...I'm getting kind of obsessed by seeds lately! If these are indeed autos, will I get auto seeds out of them? Im pretty cluess about them.

 

[Apoc]

Autos polinated by Autos produce auto seeds.

Auto feminized produce 98% female or more but males are possible.

Pollen is like a plague so be very careful not to contaminate your grow area or you may have beans for generations to come.

You can separate the male and pop some mature pollen sacks into a jar and use a small craft paint brush to brush pollen on the flowers to limit grow room contamination.

 

[Apoc]

Days gone by we put a baggie around the female flower with a little pollen in the corner, then lightly sealed the bag around the limb and moved the pollen to the flower.

Can anyone help identify what I might have going on here I cannot for the life of me figure out what’s going on. First three pics are of Pineapple Express and the fourth witch doctor. I have not given any nutrients to either plant in a couple weeks thinking I was burning them that there was more left in the soil. I did start giving them some blackstrap molasses to help fatten up the buds. The pineapple just started this today wasn’t like this last night. Lights are over 24 inches above the tops of the plants.

Looks like Cal/Mag defeciencies. Cal/Mag the leaves at the top side of the plant start that. Look farther down and the leaves are fine.

I have a Power Plant looks like that. The worst one that's late term Cal/Mag meaning it's been going on for a while.

I'd get a couple more opinions but I'd say Cal/Mag.
