Hi, anyone any experience of the pineapple express...

Hey Cheezy. After checking out your diary I see that you are giving them plenty of food. The light green yellowing starting on the lower part of the pineapple is a sign of nitrogen deficiency which has to be caused by lockout from too much water. You can tell by the droopy leaves and fat thick puffy leaves from absorbing too much water. It is a good idea to get in the habit of lifting your pots so you can kinda get a feel for the difference in wet vs dry. You want to let them dry out quite a bit before you water so this doesn't happen. Let them dry out for a few days and they will turn around quickly. And as far as the defoliation. The leaf tucking is for the birds in my opinion. I have tried it and it is a constant battle. Just remove any of those upper leaves that are blocking light to the lower budsites. She will reward you with many more fat buds in the end. Best to start of taking a couple leaves and see how she reacts. Then take a couple more a day or so later. Overall your girls look great and with a tweak here and there you will get a great harvest. Good luck with them!
