Another week of growth and all is well. Here is a little run down of what's been happening in the tent
-created a larger grid that covers my whole tent footprint for training the girls into. Really happy with it, looks organised ๐
-started weaving them into the grid a little more than they were, this has entailed some defoliation every other day, with high stress training implemented to make stems grow in the desired directions before they fit in just right. I trim some larger old fan leaves, but also new ones still growing in which are going to cover other branches. This is probably more necessary than if they were growing following their natural tendencies as the result of all my bending and training is leaves end up where they shouldn't.
Pineapple is a slow vegetative grower I am noticing, but it is a bit of two steps forward one step back with me lopping off leaves willy nilly and all. This aside, they are fine with my rough manhandling that occurs daily when I continue their training. A little water seems to go a long way, and i'm trying to give them less than I usually would in response. These plants are already the size my last round of girls were when they begun to flower!
Humidity has risen to an average of 70%, I will address this factor before looking at flowering.
@Zannabis7, Thanks, this pineapple's genetics are consistently the most sparkling i've grown. If you like the frost now, just wait til you see it soon ๐
@BudKingsGrow, Thanks for saying so man! Just popped over and had a look at your garden, you run a tight ship, and your comprehensive diary updates are a great resource. I hope we both see beautiful bountiful buds ๐
What a killer looking SCROG. Nicely done. I am attempting my first SCROG with some autoflowers. Would certainly welcome any advise. Thanks in advance - Zannabis7
@Book_of_Thoth, Yeah, should be a challenge with autos, but I am looking forward to some experimentation. Thanks for the kinds words on the "amazing start!"
@Zannabis7 Thanks for saying so! With autoflowers, you aren't going to want to trim off growths seeing as you have a finite amount of time to veg with, so i'd see what you can achieve through tying down taller stems to keep an even canopy. Judging by your setup, you're off to an amazing start!
Looking top notch Thoth. Then again I'd expect nothing less from you. Another round of beautiful top tier training. Great work buddy. I can't wait to see how they develop. Cheers!
@SybDarret, Thanks, in my opinion if you're working with a small space or a small amount of plants (a large garden would be very time consuming) it's really worthwhile. But you're right, I won't count my chickens before they've hatched!
@Tazard, Thanks for saying so! My screen is made of aluminum, and the pieces came from an assemble-able clothes rack, I cut down and combined two pieces to match the footprint of my tent ๐
