Outdoor Pineapple Chunk

Week 3 (9 Nov/Day 20): The Crucible of Growth In this pivotal chapter, the ladies faced a formative stage, their resilience tested by the artful dance of recovery and challenges. While most flourished under the protective embrace of the fencing, Pineapple Chunk #1 bowed out gracefully, unable to rebound from the relentless snap that severed her stem. May she rest in the serenity of eternal growth. Blessed by favorable weather, with gentle winds and smooth sailing, I orchestrated the ladies' introduction to their inaugural feeding. The commitment to organic nourishment persisted, complemented by the infusion of mycorrhizae and activated carbon. Three out of the four ladies embarked on a grand journey, transitioning to their final pots. The individual sagas unfolded: #1, confirmed to have bid farewell, leaves behind a legacy of unrecoverable wind-induced stem snap. Rest in peace, dear companion. #2, a phoenix rising from the previous week's challenges, showcased thicker stems and received a pH 6.7 watering. The anticipation builds for the transformative impact of mycorrhizae on her splendid growth. #3, despite a brief encounter with a curious bug, strides forward, promising growth in the weeks to come. #4, the protagonist of an intriguing narrative, recovers from a bug assault, revealing the emergence of two main stems – an unintended gift from nature's pruning. Patiently, she remains in her original pot, allowing her roots to weave a tale of resilience and rejuvenation. #5, with gradual progress, emanates health and vitality, a canvas awaiting the strokes of time's artistic brush. Each pot, a sanctuary of growth, cradles a bountiful 100L of soil mix, enriched at a ratio of 1G per liter. As we navigate this botanical symphony, the golden sun of optimism shines upon the journey of these green wonders. Happy growing, Golden 🌞
