Week 2 starts with fertilizers as above added to the plant’s drinking water.
I’ll soon have to place them apart. Meanwhile, the tomato plants to their left might gain some more strength until being moved to windows and balconies. They’re growing nicely too.
On the evening of day 17, they were really thirsty for the first time with leaves and heads hanging a bit. Think I can go with the primitive measuring instrument which told me they were almost fully dry too. Just RO water with CalMag this time (and the full Solfeggio frequencies).
Maybe light rearrangement slowed their growth down a bit, but one the other hand side branches are developing nicely at the same time, and I want to have a bit of reserve for blooming.
Temperatures have fallen here, and I can see it on the inside temperatures too which rarely rise above 24° C, and humidity sometimes rises to around 80% which seems a bit much. Reprogrammed the second blower to work more often.
Day 19: Lady Ananas #3 has left the building, she wants a life under the sun. Wishing her all the best, the remaining plants have a bit more space to spread. And no, no slowdown. Both pineapples gained a lot of height during the last day, while the Sherbets stay somewhat more compact. Humidity is still bothering me, and morning temperatures were comparably low due to the fact there’s always an open window in the room they reside in.
On day 20, Sunset #1 had become a bit thirsty over night, so I gave her a few drops of water. They’ll all receive a meal tomorrow. Water is being imprinted already.
Humidity is now under control, averaging at 55%.
They are beginning to raise now, and they are spreading their arms. Quite connected, photos are beginning to look a bit crowded, so I’ll have to ponder about a different staging to show their real appearance.
Some end of week statistics:
Height 14–25 cm, with an average of 20.
Widest leaf spread tip to tip: 45 cm.
Stem diameter at soil level: 0.7–1 cm.
They are now working on expanding their 5th/6th pair of leaves. Guess I’ll see some more height growth next week and soon pre flowers should appear.
Meanwhile tomatoes are starting to get into quite a competition. Good I can give some to a neighbour; did not expect such a good germination rate.
Sind ja riesig geworden bei dir, mit richtig großen Fächerblätter. Hast du Abluft schon an und was für ventilator laufen bei dir wegen der Luftfeuchtigkeit.
@Philhsy, Thank you!
Patience is not a strength of mine, so it’s a lot of fun seeing the plants grow that fast.
And, admittedly, I am very curious to see how Pineapple develops. It’s one of my absolute favourites, but the quality of it from my usual ready-to-consume supplier has dwindled. What a nice chance now –
Germany is in an awful state, but at least we can have our own panem et circensis now. Which might be connected … 😶
@Apfelsaft94, das beruhigt, vielen Dank!
Ja, sieht auch einen halben Tag nach dem Umtopfen gut aus.
Dir ebenso viel Glück! Sind ja eigentlich recht robuste Pflanzen, und ich wünschte, das ganze Wissen wäre schon in meiner Jugend zugänglich gewesen, als mein Zimmer voller *legaler* Pflanzen war.
Aber ist ja auch nix verkehrt daran, alte Leidenschaften wiederzuentdecken. Auch wenn der Klabauterbach niemals meine volle Zustimmung erhalten wird: Das ist schon eine positive Entwicklung.
