Pineapple Poison - SSSC

MistaOC 25.10. Week 1 – The First Signs of Life 🌱 Every new run starts with a little anticipation, and this one is no different. On October 21st, Pineapple Poison officially entered the game. This time, the seeds went directly into the substrate, keeping things simple and letting nature do its thing. No unnecessary complications, just the beginning of another journey. By October 25th, the first week of vegetation was underway. The young plant was still tiny, standing at around 5 cm, but everything looked promising. The lights are running on an 18/6 schedule, with daytime temperatures around 24°C, nights dropping to 19°C and humidity sitting at 70%. The lamp is positioned 50 cm above the plant, providing a gentle start without pushing things too hard. No smell, no drama, no complaints so far. Just a small green beginning with plenty of potential.

MistaOC 03.11. D9 Week 2 – Finding Her Feet 🌿 A week later, Pineapple Poison is starting to show a little more character. What began as a tiny seedling has now doubled in height, reaching approximately 10 cm by November 3rd. The first signs of more confident growth are appearing, and the plant seems comfortable in its new environment. The conditions remain deliberately consistent: 18 hours of light, 24°C during the day, 19°C at night and around 70% humidity. The lighting distance remains at 50 cm. Nothing spectacular needs to happen at this stage. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is resist the temptation to interfere and simply let the plant establish herself. The foundation is being laid, and the real story is only just beginning. Let’s see what Pineapple Poison has in store for the weeks ahead.

MistaOC 11.11. D17 Week 3 – A Rocky Start 🌱 Not everything is going according to plan this week. Looking at the latest pictures, it’s pretty clear that Pineapple Poison is having a harder time than expected. The older leaves are showing significant discoloration, with yellowing and some visible irregularities, while the fresh growth at the top still looks reasonably promising. In my opinion, the main reason is that she spent too much time in her tiny 0.2-litre starter pot. The original idea was to give the Slurricane a little more time to catch up, but looking back, I probably waited a bit too long before making the move. She’s now finally in her 15-litre pot, and I’m hoping this will give her the space she needs to settle in properly. Of course, I don’t expect everything to turn around overnight, and the damaged older leaves won’t magically recover. But I’m optimistic that once she has established herself in her new home, we’ll start seeing healthier development in the foliage as well. It’s not exactly the smooth start I had hoped for, but every run has its challenges. Let’s see if Pineapple Poison can turn things around in the coming weeks.
