Hello growers,
Vegetative Week 10 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2)
This week was relatively calm, but a slight issue appeared toward the end.
The plant showed signs of reduced vigor.
Leaves became slightly droopy and overall posture looked softer than usual.
No drastic symptoms, but enough to raise attention.
Nutrition had not been modified initially, but given the plant’s size and development stage, hunger became a possibility.
EC was increased to 2.0, while pH remains stable around 5.9.
At the same time, environmental factors were reconsidered.
The plant has now been moved into a larger grow space to improve airflow and overall environmental control.
Current parameters are set as follows:
• EC: 2.0
• pH: 5.9
• VPD: 0.7
• Temperature: ~23°C
• PPFD: ~600
Everything appears properly calibrated.
The coming week will determine whether the drooping was nutritional demand, airflow-related, or simple temporary stress.
For now, the system is stable.
Monitoring and observation will guide the next adjustments.
See you next week. Take care.
