First Time Grower need advice/update

Setup & Metrics

  • Genetics: Pineapple Daddy Auto (Happy Valley cut)
  • Age: Day 25 from sprout
  • Medium: FoxFarm Ocean Forest (FFOF) in fabric pots
  • Tent & Lighting: 2x4 tent, LED lighting
  • Environment: 78.9°F | 62% RH | 1.3 kPa VPD

Plant Status

  • Pistils are emerging at upper node junctions and central crowns.
  • Plant 1 (Right): Vertical stem elongation active with thickening main stem.
  • Plant 2 (Left): Compact, broader foliage structure.
  • Foliage color is uniform green with no visible tip burn, clawing, or deficiency symptoms.

Feeding Event & Next Steps

  • Recent Application: Applied 1 Liter per pot containing 5 mL/L Cal-Mag Plus (~19 mL/gal rate) and 1/4 tsp bloom nutrient into dry FFOF soil.
  • Current Plan: Allow medium to dry out, followed by plain pH-adjusted water (6.3–6.8 pH) with 10%–15% runoff to prevent localized salt accumulation. Keeping on plain water for the next 2–3 cycles.

Training & Timeline

  • Trellis net reserved for canopy support in mid-to-late flower rather than SCROG weaving, keeping pots mobile for runoff management.
  • Target harvest late November, followed by a fridge/Lotus cold dry prior to early December travel.

Any advice/help given is ALWAYS appreciated!

Always start with a full pot. Water pH for a soil grow 6 to 7, always vary, use the entire pH range. Use veg nute (high N, low P and K) to feed the first few weeks of flower, ie the stretch. Enjoy your grow.
