I'm curious about how well your pineapple ferment is going. I recently started a pineapple, carrot, Fatalii mash and it does not seem to be fermenting (no bubbles in the mash after many days). pH is at 4 as of today. I usually see bubbles in my mashes within a few days. I've added a lacto...
Redeemer, plant plenty. I planted 12 pots with three seeds each and had only three plants from the batch. Those three did grow quite successfully. But they took their sweet time to produce pods. When they started producing, however they were quite fruitful.
