Pineapple Chunk living soil c/o KIZ

WEEK 4: THURS 16TH - THURS 23RD (day 40-47) PINEAPPLE CHUNK 🍍🍀 is back for another week! The girls are making good progress. I had to install a trellis net, as the soft ties I normally use for LST won’t create a strong enough pull with these fabric pots. Also, I accidentally snapped a stem whilst training!! You can see how she’s recovering in the very last pic this week. Unfortunately can’t tie her down for a few days but she still looks very healthy. At the start of the week, I went to a DIY store and got some plastic 50cm2 grids that fit really nicely under the pots. Gives them and the soil some extra airflow, as my heater is also on the tent floor so it probably gets quite sweaty down there. Update on bugs: even after a lot of research, I keep changing my mind about whether they are spider mites or not. They’re only in the top couple centimetres of soil, don’t seem to have any interest in the plant, and don’t have a bright red or two spotted body. They’re beige/orange, and have two long antennae. Will keep spraying with neem oil and soap just in case!!! Overall, a stressful week, but that’s what it’s all about! Overcoming problems is an important part of learning. So hopefully this teaches me some stuff. Have a great week everyone!! 🥦🌿💚
