Pineapple Kush - Perpetual - 1000w

Hey Stumped,
Man your stuff looks good. Glad no trouble with drought scare. Are you doing the veg with cfl lights?

I moved my thermometer into shadow under the table my carbon filter sits on as you suggested. Temps shown as 9 degrees cooler and humidity 48. Digital thermometer must be right. Just hotter in direct light. Mercury thermometer in top tent corner is still high but I understand that, it's 20 years old and up in the heat. Also flushed and the reservoir, it must have been nearly dry. That plant could suck up near 40 ounces during the day. The shark tooth rolling of the fan leaves also straightened out. Not completely but it is hardly noticeable now. It must have been a sort of drought scare with mine too. Just filling the rez started making visual changes. I'm going to be more watchful from now on. After all, you can't over water a hempy. Or can you?

I am getting my next bucket ready. I will use a remote wired digital aquarium thermometer and have it in the rez under the net bag of perlite. Then I will have an idea of what the rez temps are. The rez in the new bucket is about a gallon. The drilled hole is still 2" from bottom of the bucket. Things are looking up and I am feeling much better.

Thanks for your suggestions. You're a Pal. Had others helping KingJohnC, LA and Spimp. For a newbie it sure is nice here to have so many stepping up to give help and calming messages to a knuckle head like myself. Thanks guys. :thanks::thanks::adore:

Yup I use cfl for veg. 2x 42watt and 4x 23watt bulbs.

I don't think u can over water Hempy. Hell I tried and tried to over water my 2 gallon soil pots, just wouldn't happen plant stayed perkey. Under watering makes the plant look limp, I think all that really happened..... Was slight paranoia. Nothing wrong with that, better safe then sorry. Probably got slightly too warm for her is all. Glad its looking good now!

Kingjohn I think suggested to me about temp readings. You have 2 temps to watch. Ambient room temp and canopy temp. My canopy temp gets up to 35c but room temp never goes above 27 for me.

Wish my big bud seeds would hurry up and grow. Love the look of indica plants, my pineapple is a hybrid big time and after reading more on genetics , pk isn't a 50/50 sativa indica. Its more like 60/40 or 70/30 on the sativa side. Leaf structure has no overlapping leaves, slender leaf blades. Compared to many 50/50 hybrids there leaves usually touch or over lap somewhat in structure.

And that got me thinking. If this pk is more sativa.... Why is it done in 8 weeks? Or do I not know what a amber trics look like? Lol this harvest. I'll try my best to get closeup shots of trics.. I said try lol

Decided to change up my feeding schedule. Sunday - feed, Tuesday - h2o + molasses, Thursday - h2o.
Of course everything will be pH adjusted before watering between 6.3 and 6.7.
 
Just fed the girls, and yea I'm going to start watering every 2 days now, instead of every 3. These plants are much bigger.

Also gonna try to make some fabric pots today. I have a roll of pond underlay, its like really strong felt. This way I can make the size pot I want. And grow bigger plants... Is the idea.
I counted my plants in veg and if I wanted to I could fill the room with 16 plants, I would just have to top them before flower and leave only 1 top to grow. I got 4 weeks to decide on what Im gonna do.

Cheers
 
Check it out. She is looking so much better. Last night I flushed her with 5.0 ph water and immediately fed her with newly mixed nutes. Since last photo she has grown a couple inches, she's just a little over 13" now. Saw a couple flowers this morning. I'm putting a couple pictures up so you and all the others can see how well she looks now. Again thanks for the help.:thanks:

A view looking in. Stumped you can see under the table a bucket upside down, my thermometer sits on top of the bucket. It used to sit on top of the table. Thermometer mem says low temp, probably lights off, 79F - 26C. High temp 82 - 27C. Humidity 41 - 50%. I think your suggestion to move thermometer out of the direct light gives me a better "zone" reading. At the level of the plant. Sure helped me understand a little more about LED and heat. Another good input to my problem was evaporation. I started checking things concerning the reservoir. I found out that in 8 hours it will be dry. So I have been feeding to keep nutes in the rez every 6 - 8 hours. The leaves are looking so much better. The drought is everywhere eh?

Here's the pics
Lookin' in
See the blue fan? Someone's suggestion was about a fan. I keep it on High blowing down from above. I keep meaning to straighten out the wires but moving stuff so much recently made me forget. See the bucket under the table?

From above. You can see how much better she looks. Twelve top bud sites! Boy that sounds pornographic...

Here you can see through the side, pretty much. It isn't a very good picture. I can't get down on the floor far enough to see what the picture will look like.

What do you think? Is she looking better? Thanks everyone. :kiss:

She's looking real healthy wildjim. Can't wait till she starts growing fat buds

Yea Peyton. I'm nearing the end of my second grow. In the info on this Northern Lights X Big Bud it says that is should reach harvest in 50 to 55 days from seed germination. The date it popped was June 8th and harvest should be around 1st of August. I might let her go an extra week or two this time. I want to get at least 1/2 ounce dry to make the first of my paste/oil. I worry about the stress she just went through. I'll tell you one thing, I am doing Fast and Vast somewhere else. I want more room, a real room.

Thanks for all your help and support. I sure need it. :thanks:

We're always here to help. I know how you feel on needing more space. Seems like each grow I want to expand and do a little bit more each time. Can't wait to see the setup you come up with next, I'm sure it'll be an awesome room/shed
