Week 3 of flower under 315w CMH x 2
I usually get more Sativa in her from the pineapple, larger leaf, thinner.
Yields good, but I wanted this more Indica pheno with the wider, smaller leaves...more skunk and cheese instead of the pineapple.
Hoping it will yield well.
Nice work with your nute mixing.
That one looks a lot like my new PC that I’m flowering for the first time. I can only hope it’s anywhere near as good as the old one I’ve been growing forever. It looks very different.
New PC on left, old PC on the right.

Looks like we are neck and neck Lowryder.

That's kinda how I started out, all the levels on the lower side of safe. This is what I dug out of some old heads on RIU who use individual salts in hydro. I gradually have been increasing things, but learned I likely went slightly too far with the N. I was warned about going too low with the N in bloom, so didn't want to kill any vigor or anything. Brix studies specifically harps on nitrates, and how much carbs have to be burned off to process the extra nitrates, or something like that. When I get that PH meter, I believe I will have much more insight into elemental placement, depending on what the sap PH is.

That is a gorgeous PC you got Lowrider!!! Holy shit man, well done!!! She looks just like my thick stem pheno I love so much. Short, sturdy, small fat leaves, she doesn't smell dank until week 2 of her cure, lol. I have the PITA Sativa PC too. IDK which sides are preferable, though finishing up a Triple Cheese currently, I would think those characteristics to be desired. The Cheese builds colas very well, super smelly and sweet and yields great, I xpect about 18-19 zips in a week from her, 70% of that from colas.
I think WeaselCracker now has this pheno too, so much easier to grow, though not as vigorous as the sativa pheno.

Cheers mate! Have yielded big off the Sativa pheno, massive colas under hps.
Like you though I have battled to control it at times. Hahaha.
Im just trying cmh out, so still dialling it in.

Nice. I love the look of that Cheese with those big stubby looking buds.
Oh man I’ve been trying for years to find a strain to replace this PC pheno with. It grows into a horrible tangled mess that needs to be constantly trimmed over and over. Trimming it is a bloody nightmare. It’s so sticky that the most accurate description I can think of is it’s like working with fresh epoxy glue. Epoxy that never sets. Does being covered in raw epoxy sound pleasant to you? Well it’s not... The smell clings for days and keeps me awake at night if I don’t wear a full moon suit when I trim.
Yesterday I went into one of my outbuildings and the whole place stunk to high heaven- because, two days earlier, I had left a little tupperware container in there that had some PC buds in it for about an hour and a half during the trimming process. The container was totally empty and looked perfectly clean. It reeked. I opened both doors for the rest of the day and and threw the container out into the yard. I’m sure it’s still there reeking.
It’s the sickliest ugliest most annoying plant I grow and by far the most prone to mold. More than half the PCs I’ve ever grown have been chopped early and tossed into the hash trimmings pile. Mainly because of impending mold. By 2/3 of the way through flowering it always looks like a bomb hit it. But somehow that ugly mess produces smoke that everyone keeps saying me is the best in the land. ‘Man why don’t you just stop growing all that other crap and only grow the Pineapple Chunk?’
This has been the situation for several years. It’s like a bad joke, or a curse. Like one of those sneaky backstabbing wishes you get granted by a genie in a bottle. It’s totally fucked! Agggghh, don’t get me started!

lol that real stinky stuff is usually what I would like to toke if its a good stink idk but it sounds like you have a keeper pheno there just for the quality but I agree it sounds like a major pita to grow I would likely give it up if it was to annoying unless I loved the smoke then I would put up with it to!Nice. I love the look of that Cheese with those big stubby looking buds.

idk if it makes a difference with hydro but its recommended to take leafs for testing in the afternoon after the plant is in full production maybe do your test an hour or so before lights out see if you get an improvement!She's a whopping 6 brix
