Hey growers, welcome back to the Pineapple Upside Down grow journal โ week 17 of veg.
The plant keeps showing solid, consistent growth week after week.
Her structure is getting stronger, and the canopyโs really starting to fill out nicely.
Leaves are broad, green, and vibrant โ a sign that sheโs fully balanced and comfortable in her environment.
Nutrient uptake looks perfect; the roots are clearly doing their job.
I decided to raise the EC slightly, moving up to 1.8, since sheโs been drinking more and showing signs of higher demand.
pH remains stable, and the overall system is clean, well oxygenated, and running smoothly.
For now, thereโs no sign of deficiencies or stress. Everythingโs running exactly as planned.
Iโm still unsure whether Iโll top her before moving to flower.
That decision will depend on the final height and how much space she takes once sheโs ready to transition into the flowering box.
At this point, I prefer to let her develop naturally, focusing on strength and branch structure rather than manipulation.
This phase is all about preparing her for a smooth transition into bloom, with maximum vigor and balanced nutrition.
So for now, patience and observation.
Next week should mark the last phase before flowering, and from there, things are going to get a lot more interesting.
See you next week, growers โ keep it clean, keep it green, and stay consistent. Peace
