Pineapple Express

[Canuck147]

Here on the west coast we get weather systems blown up at us from Hawaii, usually in winter. Weatherman calls the warm air that brings us lots of rain 'Pineapple Express'.
These cannabis plants are 'Pineapple Express'

[Canuck147]

Thanks a lot jarhead. Sorry but some words I don't like to use - old - is one of them. hehehe Cuz my wife says I'm not old.

[oldjarhead100]

I dont mind just jarhead .i dont consider myself old 59 but for a Marine Im very old hahaha,no I'm not active. when I was thinking about a screen name thats what popped in

[Canuck147]

One of the girls had a rough start. Sprouted up with her seed husk on her head. Looks kinda funny, like they have a helmet on. Tried a bit with tweezer to help it off, didn't work. Left it for 24 hours hoping she would push it off. Nope. Tried again and after being under the light that long, seed husk dried out some and just popped off.
Except the cotyledons were still stuck together. Left it again for 24 hours. Nope, still stuck together. Piece of seed still on the end like glue. Took a knife and ran it between the cotyledons and seed husk came off and the cotyledons spread apart. Woohoo

Next time try dropping a few drops of water on the shell husk then pinch with your fingers and tht glue like piece I believe is the membrane and thts basically the same just a husk around the leafs I dnt no wht but this happens to me alot and thts how I deal with it easily

Nice work. I'm excited to see how this grow goes.

[Canuck147]

Hey thanks man. No one else is paying attention, so I'll post for you Marley. Just a side note Marley, I saw Ziggy Marley in Vancouver few years ago and it was HOT!

[Marley]

That's awesome! I'd love to see him live. I've got tickets for a slightly stooped concert this summer that I'm really looking forward to.


I plan on getting Pineapple Express in my next order, so your grow is one I want to follow for sure.

[Canuck147]

That's cool Marley - Happy 420

[Canuck147]

One is 17 days old, the other 19. The other two in the tent are 12 days old.
Only took 2 leafs off the one on the left. Exposed the bud sites on the other.
Marley High Times has an interview with Damian Marley, haven't read it yet, but I intend to.

[Tika]

They look wonderful Canuck!!!!
My babies are 16-17 days too..waiting til day 23 to transplant into 5 gal SP.
Where are you..I'm on Central Coast ..looks like the end of rain for us..now spring winds.

[Canuck147]

Thank you Tika. The rain never ends here - weatherman reported only 8 dry days this month. West Coast of British Columbia Canada - just outside of Vancouver.

[Jeg]

I'm always paying attention. I just don't have much to say other than looks good and I hope all goes well. I'm learning so much from y'all.

[Canuck147]

Few more pics of the plant I lightly defoliated. I'll post more next sunday for us all to see the progress.
Other than a few spot waterings when they came out of the soil, I have only watered twice. First time with 1/2 strength nutes. Yesterday with full strength nutes plus the CaliMagic.

[Marley]

Those are some fat fan leaves.

I haven't seen the article, I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

[Canuck147]

Okay so it hasn't been a whole week - same plant 3 days later

[Tika]

Lovely!

[Marley]

It's really filling in now. Looking really healthy too.

[Canuck147]

The 2 larger ones are 25 and 23 days old, the other 2 are 19 days old.

[Canuck147]

hehehe - I have a great farmer's market 5 minutes away.

[Canuck147]

As well as a butcher just around the corner - great Farmer's sausage and ground beef, Mennonites

[Tika]

I admit to my farmers being next door....seriously. I am a brat!

[Marley]

How long are these supposed to take from start to finish? They're still looking very healthy.

[Canuck147]

I intend to keep them looking healthy. Seed supplier gave no time line, so I'll let the plants tell me when they are ready. Pistils are starting to form so maybe another 8 weeks or so.

[Sonnyhad]

They are looking very good! I'm watching as well!

[Canuck147]

Cool and thanks

[Canuck147]

Pic from the 23rd and others from today - all the same plant. 30 days out of the soil. Did the light defoliation on the 23rd, then a bit more a few days ago, and the branches around the main cola just shot up almost to the same height as the middle cola. These Pineapple Express are real quick growers, just amazes me how fast.

[Marley]

Nice! It looks like they're really about to shoot up soon.

[Canuck147]

Thanks and yeah. Ziggy is coming to this part of my world end of next month. I saw him in Vancouver around 1994 or so at the Commodore BallRoom. Place has like a 2500 sq ft dance floor that has a suspension built underneath the wood. Just have to stand on the floor and the other dancers move you. And with Ziggy pounding out the tunes, couple hundred people dancing in front of him with the blue smoke getting thicker by the song. Like I said before, it was HOT!
