Week 5
The weather for the last few weeks has been spectacular with no change in sight. I've had to dramatically increase the amount of water, PE1's happily chugging 2 Ltrs now. I've also dialed down the nutes as the very tips started to show possible nute burn. I've purposely not used techniques such as LST. I don't see the point as these are for personal use; i'm not looking for a particularly large yield, just hopefully some good end product.
So far the Pineapple's have been a dream to grow especially for a beginner. PE1 continues to explode upwards and outwards and PE2 is catching up fast. I did catch a couple of small aphid colonies on PE 1 & 2, I wiped the leafs and introduced a mantis that I found in the garden; she seems very happy in her new home. So far all seems clear ๐
The Lemonades however are proving a little trickier to read for a beginner grower like me. I've increased water and nutes and will monitor. PL1 looks happy & healthy however, hasn't quite had the growth I've been expecting but again, that's probably my experience or lack thereof; it's very early days so she could stretch in the next couple of weeks. PL2 remains very stunted though. I gave her as much love as her sisters but, it doesn't appear to be enough... kids?! Still, I'm sure it's been my lack of experience so if I get them across the line my overall mark will reflect that.
Lush photos growmie, and attention to detail! Thanks a bunch for running this diary :)
We really hope that you liked growing our genetics!
Enjoy that harvest โจ
