@Bikoo, I've switched to using heavy gauge wire. But I just accidentally tugged on it too hard when I snapped it. I think the tape is helping her with the mend though.
@Bikoo, hopefully it doesn't hurt them I opted for the tape because it's supposed to be able to stretch and give naturally with the plants growth where as wire is pretty much fixed until you adjust it again. Will be interesting to see how our different grows turn out.
@Inganjawetrust, thank you, I guess I should say that it's actually older than week 5. I didn't keep good tabs of the first couple weeks but it's probably around week 7 really. I didn't know about this community at first. My newest plant I've documented each day since it started so I'm hoping she does good and will have a nice day to day diary.
@Bikoo, thank you! I didn't count my seedling weeks into my diary. I'm only counting the weeks since I started introducing my nutrients. So, if counting from seedlings I'm probably more like week 5. This is my first time using dwc I've only used soil in the past but I'm very happy with their progress and how easy to maintain it is. I would definitely recommend dwc or other hydroponic methods. I'll be moving another pineapple express seedling into my dwc system this evening so I'll start a week one diary when I do.
