The Pink Kush and Orange Apricot cannabis plants have a few more weeks remaining of bloom time, the Orange Apricot clone and Pineapple Express plants have been receiving extensive stem training while in vegetative growth mode.
Pink Kush
The Pink Kush cannabis plant has been in bloom for five weeks, three weeks remain until harvest. A bushy plant, showing off some purple fall colors, it's been well below 70 degrees Fahrenheit overnight in the basement.
 |  |

The buds stacked up into many nice colas, now they're getting chunky. You can see all the new stark white pistil pair growth, more bud pushing out at those locations, they're getting that shaggy look.

Plenty of sparkly THC trichome dusting with this Pink Kush strain, I'm curious to see how much more these buds will grow.
 |  |
|---|
The buds have a sweet and fruity scent to them that pushes it's way just outside the tent, despite the tent being exhausted directly outside, nice.
 |  |
|---|
Much less than half of the pistils are seen to be orange, especially with all the new bud growth, three more weeks remain until this Pink Kush is harvested.
 |  |
|---|
Orange Apricot
The Orange Apricot has had six weeks of bloom time, two weeks remain until harvest. Much like the Pink Kush, the colas have formed and are thickening and expanding outwards, you can see the bright white new pistil growth.
 |  |
|---|
A solid coating of trichomes, the bud leaves are taking on more muted tones, some ambers and small touches of purple.
 |  |
|---|
A sweet orange apricot scent waffs from the buds whenever I open the tent. This tent's warmth is helping keep the upstairs cozy, I have an air filter on the tail end of the exhaust that removes the scent from the out flow.
 |  |
|---|
The majority of the pistils have matured to bright orange, but many new white pistils are added each day with new growth, two more weeks for these buds to thicken before harvest.

Orange Apricot clone
The Orange Apricot clone has been in vegetative mode for six weeks, one more week than it's mother plant had. This clone has had extensive training, decently bushy, thin leaves, and a level top canopy.
You can see the top of the main stalk bent over and tied down to the extended stick. Much of the main stalk is almost horizontal, it's branches growing upwards together.
 |  |
|---|
A few branches were tied back as they raised above the level canopy. Two of them in the middle of the picture above were tied back and topped a couple weeks ago. You can see in the pictures below that each topped stalk had two tops grow up in it's place.
 |  |
|---|
Already it's looking like there will be atleast a dozen top colas, in a few days I'll put this Orange Apricot clone into bloom mode.
Pineapple Express
This Pineapple Express has had four weeks of vegetative growth time, and a couple rounds of bent stem training. A full looking plant with it's indica leaning wide leaf structure.
This plant has responded well to training. Below you can see it standing tall last week, before it was laid down for a low and level leaf canopy - for maximum LED grow light exposure.
 |  |
|---|
A few days later was round two of training, an extension stick was added to further tie down the longer main stalk. This plant training is extreme, the stalk's almost laying on the ground, but it's hemp fiber, plant hydraulics, and light desire keeps it growing upwards. In a couple weeks I'll put this Pineapple Express into bloom.

Below you can see the Orange Apricot clone, and the Pineapple Express side by side. More energetic sativa leading cannabis strains generally have narrower leaves than the more relaxing indica leaning strains that usually have wider style leaves. Not long from now these plants will be in bloom mode, growing the sweet buds.
