Week 11: Pineapple Poison - The Neverending Leafpocalypse! ☔️✂️
Yo growmies!
Mother Nature decided to play catch-up with the rain this week, and let me tell you, the Pineapple Poison took full advantage! Over 20mm of rain in seven days, and this girl exploded like a popcorn kernel in a microwave! We're officially at 138cm now, which is basically towering over my raised bed.
It wasn't just height, though. New shoots and leaves popped up like green confetti. So, guess who spent most of the weekend playing hairdresser again? This gal! It was a mainlining marathon. As Bobolancetti put it wisely in the comments: we need to start thinking support for those colossal colas.
Less foliage also means better wind resistance, which is crucial here in Brandenburg, land of the giant wind turbines. We can't have our Pineapple Princess getting blown over by a rogue gust!
The only thing missing? Flowering.
Still
nowhere
to
be
seen.
*insert cricket noise*
Listen, this growth spurt is awesome, but the weekly deleafing routine is getting a little…well, lengthy. My arms are feeling it! Maybe next week, the flowering fairy will finally take pity on us and get this party started? A girl can dream…. S
Stay tuned, growmies, because next week, we'll see if the Pineapple Poison finally decides to show us her flowers (and give my arms a break)! High fives all around!
@BoboLacetti, Oder? Die wächst vor allem richtig kräftig. Das Fimmen hat starke Verästelungen geschaffen, die hoffentlich viele schwere Blüten tragen 💪😍
Oh nein wie traurig!! Für die Schenken👻🙏 kann es helfen, ein bis zwei Eimer voll Bier in die Nähe zustellen. Die Schenken heben lieber einen anstatt zu paffen^^
@PersonalSmok3s, Thank you! Summers can get quite hot here with a good amount of rain. the wind blow-dries the plants in seconds though. Usually get 800g per plant out of non-autos. But due to the law, im optimizing for taste/quality not yield. Fingers crossed :D
