Pineapple Express Autos - 140 Watts LED In Veg - 400 Watts LED & CFLs In Bloom

[Katatonia]

Hey friends !
This's my 3rd grow, and my first with autos. After 2 successful northern lights grows I thought why not try something new, and this strain is one of the most famous and I'v never even smoked it before, so hopefully it'll go alright
3 Barney's farm Pineapple express auto feminized seeds.
16 days old above soil.
140 watts led.
18/6 light/darkness.
No nutrients yet except for roots hormone, because the soil mix is very rich and will be enough for 3 weeks, I'll start adding low doses in few days though.
Did some Lst training , but it doesn't seem to really make difference except for lowering the plant, I guess it's not so helpful on young plants, without topping and cutting big fan leaves. It's very annoying that I can't train them well, any suggestions on that would be so welcomed!
here are 2 pix of the babies
day 15

Cheers

Hey !
things seem to go very smoothly with these 3 lovely babies , no problems at all , I did top them once when they were like 16 days old, I also did alot of LSTing and they seem to love it. I started adding 40% of nutrients dosage, and I removed many big fan leaves that were blocking light from new tops , I don't know if this's healthy for autos , it just feels right and the plants seem to love and react greatly to all the training i do. Anyways here r some photos

day 16 topping and lsting

day 18:

another round of lst day 23:

and here r them today , day 24

I'm very satisfied about all the training i gave them, it just didn't feel right to let them grow freely with one main top.
Any thoughts?

Thanks alot man ! I really appreciate the support
I\m still not so sure about defoliation , I\m taking off only few big fan leaves, is that ok ? what do u think , what r the limits on that for autos ?

Nice work with the autos I'll clean up the lower stuff that isn't gonna do much on mine. Right around the 4 week mark or so then once again after the stretch.

 

[thebeast27]

I dont have a limit if i wna defol my autos i take off what i want all at once.so if is any shock happens all at once.but i dont think it does shock them as 3 days later u have a bush again the only limit i would say.is wait with any auto till 3 and a half to 4 weeks old.by this time she is established and busy veging away defol how u want from that moment forward the rest is cannabis history happy growing every1

Oh, the Express! Nice job, that's some really tasty smoke. A friend had some Barneys and it was really friggin fruity ! grew massively tall. Keep it up, these guys know their stuff on autos, that's for sure.

they r almost 4 weeks old now , and they already started go into flowering , and stretching , so I'll be doing a good round of defoliation in these few days

They definitely do ! I got some real useful tips here . Thanks anyways for checking my journal , I actually can't wait to try smoking this strain , I can notice the high quality already from the smooth fast growing of the plants, hopefully I'll get some good buds afterall
