I will throw some photos up tonight. Had some really good growth from my pineapple in coco.I made a net with string, took a while but was well worth it. No more trouble with collapsed plants this time. they have just about finished their stretch. been in flower for 9 days and they are well under way.
BUT.
My other tent which is all the same but planted in coco from bricks. They look crap. still small, still pale and skinny. but have started to bud. Now I was annoyed that they wouldnt grow (even in flower there was no stretch.) So I gave the pot a squeeze and turned it upside down. holding the base of the plant. The top 5 inches of soil came off. It was colid but just split at 5 inches deep. The plant Was rootbound yet had not used the soil in the pot....
The soil was soft and looked fine. I looked at all 4 plants in the coco from bricks and they all did the same. the roots wouldnt grow into it more that 5 inches. which is why they are yellowing/skinny and short/
So I grabbed a bag of coco from the store and refilled the pots, loosening the root ball a little and watering it into the new coco.
Hopefully they take and grow into it. I just worry that its too late. 9 days into flower... Maybe the roots wont grow in time for the plant to grow before it buds.
Im a bit high and also im really bad at explaining stuff so Ill just thor up some photos in about 6 hours and show you what I meant.
Its all trial and error, its never easy . Kind of annoying because its going to cost me like a grand if they dont catch up quick.
