16.2 inches/week
Usual summer week here in the south, every day above 86 ยฐ F (max 100 ยฐ F) Pineapple is beast, can tolerate everything and is grown almost 2 inches per day drinking 2 gallons per day of spring water showing only few signs of heat stress. She's in full stretch and had fill every spaces with her thick branches . I fed her half the recommended dose of Biobizz Grow 'cause is too hot and don't want to burn her. I think we are 10-14 days before flowering. I covered her with a PVC net in order to give her a little shield from the sun and give me more privacy ;-)
Hi fellow growers, although here we are close to the summer solstice (18h of light a day), in full veg stage, most of the lateral branches show asymmetrical flower-like nodes. I have completed dozens of indoor cycles and have never seen it before. What do you think about? Thanks
Hi there!
This is not a pre-flower stage. There is no pistils or even calyxes or anything that determines the sex even.
Sometimes the symmetricality is lost earlier and stress to the stem can make it happen too.
For example doing lst ot suoercropping can result in this ao its still pretty normal phenomenon
Hi there!
I cross all crossable things on me that you'll still get to harvest!!
But i see you take good care of her so I don't doubt on the fact that your skills will save the result.
She's gorgeous by the way!
Mine are quite late too..
All hopes on you!
Ciao
@Love_Cultivator, Hi Love, it's all OK til now. Here we are in lock down. After the right curing process the taste and the high are improved a lot but the smell and flavour can't compete with royal gorilla or special kush, it is clearly a matter of personal taste. The high is really strong. The bud quality is really excellent.
@Rap_a_cap,
Hi Master!
Oye! Not so great news, but first of all: keep it going, I hope for you that the tough times will soonly come to an end! (Even if I really don't know what to think about the strategy that different governments take against this virus..) I'm all with you in my thoughts!
I'm sure the taste will improove with a bit of time! Otherwise you could extract some! I know someone who owns a rosin press ;)
So.. i think it can be complicated to send me your entire harvest (hahaha) but i could defently send you some rosin back from your flowers!
Keep the peace, keep the love!

@DoDrugs420, unfortunately it was a problematic cultivation due to bad genetics IMO, the most of the crop was given away because the weed was not to my taste and the very high rate of thc gave me a problem with anxiety.
@AirDuster, eh eh. Thanks Bro, worse than a pregnancy but it was worth it, now I have stuff for 1 year of happiness. In the past I have done many indoor cycles and I thought I knew everything, outdoors is a whole other story, how many mistakes I made out of haste and fear.
it was until now achellenging " outdoor season" cold nichts and days in the beginning, heatwaves and then cold and rainy again......
its always great to see how resiliant those plants are.
I had to water my outdoor girls 2 times daily during the hot days.....and they did not care.... the roots staed cool and that is all that counts
I like very much the way you grow your vegetables and greens too.
@Mrs_Larimar, nice to see you here Madam, thank you. Even though I am 2000 km south of you, I see that we share the same spirit. Apart from the grass I love my garden, the roses, the maples, the Wastphalian clematis, the cedar ... And my cats also love to sleep under the canopy, for hours and hours. One of these eats the leaves and then sleeps. The first major Atlantic disturbance is expected here on 12 September, let's hope it won't do any damage. Happy dry growing ๐
@AirDuster, thanks! I hope so, unfortunately she is terribly late in flowering but the structure of the buds is really impressive. At least twice as thick as the 2 sisters. Let's see.
@AsNoriu, UVC work great also outdoor to sterilize and save the remaining part of the bud. A mini portable set will costs DIY not more than 30 euros. But needs knowledge....
Of course can't be used for guerrilla as general prevention. Maybe will post a minidiary with infos, scientific papers
links.....
@Rap_a_cap, so as agronomist you have to understand, that's the only fruit we inhale ;)))
So all other stuff is not working in my mind.
UV is nice touch, but I grow guerilla , next to public paths, so going there even to do photos is a challenge ;)
I found cinnamon good natural prevention after removing infected parts, I sprinkle it on wound. Was wining a bit in my mind, but the end is always lost fight and early harvest just to save a bit ....
@Rap_a_cap, Yead indeed, I remember, I was wondering why you done that :d Because I don't think rain is a problem in veg stage. I need to explore my options.. I fear that if I make like you, the film will have hard resistance to wind and fall with the plant... ๐
@Weedovaurus, I got the same problem but bigger, from my photos it does not realize how big these plants are and in case of rain I will have to build a PVC film roof again. You could plant 2-meter poles to form a square in which to contain the plant and make a small shelter with something transparent, as I did in the first months of my diaries.
@Rap_a_cap, Yup ! I'm concern about rain while it will flower... Previous year, I had gray mould problem after one entire rainy week... That fucked up my harvest :'(
Heey!
Very nice to see how they grew since the last time I. Checked your diary! It makes me think of mine ๐ช
I can't wait to see her bulk up!
I cross my fingers for a better weather!
Wish you the best!

@Rap_a_cap,
Wow! Such generosity! You're divine! If you do that, allow me to send you some bubbaslush which survived my absence!
Made my day!
Keep it up! โค๏ธ

@Love_Cultivator, I'm so sorry for what happened to your PK. If I manage to complete this cultivation I will be happy to send you a bud, wherever you are.๐
Growing in a garden, may be achallenge. Because of the pests......but there are good predators for every insect you dont want to have. Using predators is beefriendly and saves the Planet.
There are information sites about predators in the Internet.
my "hardest" remedy is Neemoilsolution, and like you do nettleextract
happy growing. And its good to see you came back after 25 years
