New start GG#4 and Pineapple

[FerretWrangler]

Is this yellowing part of a plant's normal life cycle or is something wrong? It's been warmer here recently but temps haven't been out of hand.

When did you last add any ferts? Mightn't hurt to give it a top dress with the fbb
Gardens looking nice btw, looks like you're in for a decent harvest!

Thanks @Sunshine trimming is gonna be tough work lol

I topped dressed 6 tablespoons of the down to earth around 3 or 4 weeks ago so it's very possible that they're hungry but after a closer inspection I noticed I have gnats. Idk how since I let them dry out a good bit between watering and I only give them around a quarter gallon apiece every 2-4 days.

I've deployed yellow sticky traps, is there any other countwr measures you recommend? I've read food grade dietamacious earth and a 1:4 ratio of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water can kill the larvae and adults. Though I'm out of funds for a week or so.

Gnats are definitely an annoyance. Let the medium get even drier (top few inches) in between the next couple of waterings and they will disappear of their own accord, also air flow over the soil helps. You can use DE and it is effective sprinkled on the soil surface but just letting it get more dry than normal should remedy it itself.
Trimming will definitely be fun, you're going to be spending a long day in trim jail lol

I had a small branch snap off about a week ago on one of the gg when I was moving them around, so I just trimmed it up and hung it and just trimming that little bit took awhile lol

Looks tasty @FerretWrangler ! Pure organic goodness

I can't wait to try it! I'm sad this part didn't get to maturity but it was snapped pretty horribly, and propping it didn't do a thing. But there's no use in crying over spilled milk and I decided to make the best of it

I hope at least 2 plants remain viable for revegging though the ones I had in mind ended up with nanners. I've been culling the pollen sacks significantly but I left a few so ideally I'll get some mature seeds.

I'll be interested to hear the smoke report on the early sample!

 

[FerretWrangler]

They're such slowpokes! The one that'll yield least has great colors though.

Very pretty girls @FerretWrangler!!!
I think I've got a crush on the second to last one, that's one pretty flower, she's going to be absolutely dripping when she's done

That's the pineapple, doing me proud! I feel certain I'm going to have to break that up when it's time to dry or I'll have mold or wpm.

It really has a funky ass smell... almost like sour trash and fruit in a way. I know that doesn't sound appealing but I think it'll be fruity and skunky after cure. My eyelids get heavy just thinking about the buds from her mom, and she was grown in a shite environment with bottled nutes, cheap lights, chopped early and bagged over and over until there was hardly any crystals on the outside of the nugs. The original pineapple and gg flowers I got the seeds from are still in the what are you smoking thread if I remember correctly. I wonder how different my own flowers will be?

sick buds how long left now mate

Thanks bud! I would think 2-4 weeks but it could take longer idk. I can't wait to see that top cola on the pineapple come into it's own. Right now it's just a big mess of white hairs that need to receed.

 

[Sunshine]

Hell yeh! Your organic flowers will be of an infinitely higher quality than the commercial 100%

[FerretWrangler]

wow... looking great. looking all set for some dank jars . Got a perpetual system planned ?

Not exactly, i was looking around for some clones to have ready so I could flower them after the reveg has finished but couldn't find any.

@Sunshine I was wondering if you could give me a rough eta and yield estimate? I know that's hard to do with only pics but I would appreciate a guess!

 

[FerretWrangler]

Looking incredible. Loving the tall top big cola on the left of pic 4 .. great!!

Thanks! The pineapple is getting all the compliments as usual ? I just realized today that I could've taken the pot off the feet awhile ago to lower it and even out the canopy so that's the first thing I did when it was time to wake them up.

Serious eye candy @FerretWrangler ???
It's hard to estimate yield but I'd say somewhere around the 5oz mark but possibly more. If you want the heaviest yield you'll need to wait until all the hairs are brown and the buds are fully swollen and completely covered in trichomes, the flowers will probably need supporting/tying up at some point as they reach maximum weight ?
Lowering the pots is a smart move, anything you can do to improve airflow now will be a bonus too. Excellent work my friend it's great to see you growing such awesome flowers ??

Thank you @Sunshine I definitely feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, and it's great to be able to grow medicine like this. I do seem to have a good number of leaves dying off, and the growth rate seems to have slown :/ I'm also fighting nanners on the pineapple every day or two. Hopefully they'll finish up by the end of the month. I do have garden ties handy but the stems seem very strong so I wouldn't have thought them necessary! I'll be happy if they get heavy enough to warrant securing

As you should my friend! The garden looks great and next time I'm sure it will look even better ??

 

[FerretWrangler]

great looking flowers . started any more to replace them ? anything vegging ? whats next ?

I was actually wondering what you and @Sunshine would recommend given my circumstances. Should I reveg and scrog and fight the nanners or fully harvest and get some new seeds going? I found a single nanner on a gg and have never seen another but every 3-5 days I've had to spend 5-10 minutes tweezing them off the pineapple until this week. They seem to have either stopped popping up or they are developing slower than they were when they initially appeared.

The ladies are definitely swelling and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on how to tie the branches up efficiently in the tent? The buds are getting heavy enough to bend and twist some branches a bit.

Here are some quick shots from earlier. There were supposed to be more but they came out blank and now they're asleep
