Well its time for another Grow Journal,, So lets get started.

We have 3 different strains here with Both Sativa, Indica, and a 50/50 Hybrid,, So this should get kinda interesting, and the Indica may not go into flower this time around (but we will cross that bridge when we get there).. I am more interested in the Sativa's this run. Had been growing Indica's the last year or so, and feel its time for a change.

On Friday, March 15th, I planted:
(1) Acapulco Gold (Barney's Farm)
(1) Pineapple Chunk (Barney's Farm)
(1) Pineapple Express (G13 Labs)

3 Days later the Pineapples were popping through the Root Riot Cube

4 Days Later the Acapulco Gold popped!

Kept the Root Riots in a Dome with some water in the bottom and a Heat Mat, which gave me 79-81 Degrees and 80-99% Humidity. Once they broke surface, I gave them a few hours to pick their heads up, then into Coco Hempy Cups they go, with nothing but PH'd RO Water, and under the T-5's (but not real close just yet)


My Hempy Cups consist of a Perlite Res with Coco on top of that to fill the rest of the cup.

These are the Pineapples,,, Acapulco still needs a little time before transplant, but as you can see by the Tap Root Pic above, she is pretty much ready anytime.


So that's about it so far.. This will at least get my Journal Started, and I will try to be as Detailed as possible for anyone following along.

I'm growing a Pineapple Express right now, and I have to admit that I am impressed with it so far. It is frosty as hell, and has a really nice smell. It looks like a winner to me. Although I won't know for sure until I smoke some. I grew the Pineapple Chunk a while back, and I loved it. I had an excellent pheno that finished at about 60 days. I got about 2 ozs of rock hard stinky nugs. It was some of the stinkiest strains I have grown to date. It was very skunky. Even more so after I chopped her down. Good luck man!

NICE!!! Thanks for the Report. I am looking forward to the 50/50 of the Pineapple express, so its nice to hear good news about her. The Pineapple Chunk is like 23-25% THC, so of course I am really looking forward to that one :bigjoint:

I have run Perlite/Vermiculite Hempy's, 100% Perlite and now 100% Perlite in the Res, with Coco the rest of the way up. Pretty low maintenance, just watering once a day when they are BIG, and that's about it.
You haven't done 100% coco? What would you reccomend? The best!

I have seen a fairly sustantial difference with the coco vs the perlite, so i would have to recommend you run with the coco. I will start ammending the coco with some perlite when i transplant these girls, just really so i can get more coco for my money.

Update Time..


All seem to be doing fine, just Growing VERY Differently. They all got a 250ppm feed last Wed.

Pineapple Chunk is still a little on the Limey Side, but growing just fine.

Acapulco Gold is a bit WAVY, and has been since before she had been fed,, But her color is good, and she is also growing just fine.

Pineapple Express is really outgrowing the others, and has gotten so top heavy, that I needed to prop her up. So I put her a little more into the Fans path so she could get a little more wind on her.

I will move up the feed to 300ppm in the next day or so, and continue up from there.


That's about it for today!!!!

Pineapple Express is an amazing strain, grows really fast. I grew one last year. Loved every moment of it. Great great smoke. Good luck.
