Vegetative Week 7 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2)
This week confirms a very good recovery following last week’s defoliation and pruning.
As shown in the photos, the plant bounced back quickly and shows strong vegetative vigor.
Leaf mass has rebuilt nicely, and overall growth looks healthy and well-balanced.
There are no signs of stress or slowdown at this stage.
After the structural work, light intensity was temporarily reduced to avoid additional stress.
Now that the plant is clearly responding well, light power has been increased again to around 50%, corresponding to roughly 150 watts in full-spectrum.
For now, the plan is to let the plant continue growing and building strength.
The four main branches that were previously selected need a bit more growth before starting any low-stress training.
Once they elongate further, light LST will be applied to begin shaping the plant’s final structure.
A move to a larger grow space is planned later, but there is no urgency at this stage.
Overall, everything is stable and progressing well.
See you next week. Take care.
