  • I know they’re sort of waxy, and I know I haven’t grown pineapples (or ananas as we say in the rest of languages), but I googled a bunch of photos to make sure what I was seeing is the hue slightly being pale.

    Idk if I have a knack for that, I at least remember reading research that green-red deficient ppl, such as I, can sometimes perceive more shades of green and brown, but that’s beside the point as am going mostly from my home gardening experience.

    I’ve grown weed and then basils and other herbs and cacti and whatnot and it all sort of applies even though not all plants need to be the same hue obviously. But the first sign of a plant being “hungry” is often — to me — anything green being a bit too pale.

    But since this isn’t like massive deficiency anyhow, it’s alright. But I would perhaps consider doing mild fert solutions every second or even everytime you water, depending on how much it drinks (that’s a whole other thing which I can’t know from here).

    You can buy both needed ferts from a supermarket. Just get one that’s “basic” and usually green bottles or smth, just basic plant food, they’re for the growth phases of most any plants. Then also look if you can find one for orchids/blooming, they’re sometimes purple. (I think you said Austria perhaps and I’m EU as well but idk if the colours are some national level thing.)

    In the first one or maybe even two fertilisations I’d mix them half and half with half of a low-side of the recommended amount. So that together they equal about the normal amount but sort of mixed.

    Going into details here but in plant food bottles you’ll see NPK numbers, standing for Nitrogen Phosphorus and Potassium (K is Kalium, how many other countries and Latin says potassium). And “growth” plant food will have a number something like 20-5-5 and bloom something like 5-15-10. Although there are balanced ones with like 10-10-10, you could use one of those for the first one or two times and then when the pineapple gets bigger (how long does it take to grow idk) start putting more a bloom type, high in phosphorus, because the plant is then making the fruit and that requires phosphorus and and that point it’s just using thw energy in the leaves, not growing more, for which it would need the nitrogen.

    Just take care not to overdo it. Which is easier said than done I guess. But I think looking into and using them a bit would definitely help your future harvest a bit.


  • I haven’t grown pineapple, but the leaves look a bit pale green to me. Are you giving enough fertiliser?

    Also, flowering plants usually take a different sort of fertiliser which is higher in phosphorus but lower in nitrogen whereas leaves being a bit pale and not a darker green is usually an indication of lower nitrogen levels.

    But you know, I haven’t grown pineapple. But quite a few other things and it seems to work on most plants that way what with chlorophyll and whatnot.

    Edit I just mean to say it looks like its definitely getting good sun, and maybe this grows a bit faster than your usual houseplant and perhaps you’re more used to fertilising them, as they don’t often really require much, if any. But a plant making fruit really might call for some, especially indoors.












  • doesn’t need any particular structure.

    Ofc it does. You still haven’t given a single example of these things you pretend can be true. (Which they aren’t.)

    Stories do have a beginning middle and end. That’s what a narrative structure means. No matter how much you break fourth walls or film a movie like Memento, it still has a start an end and a beginning, as does 2001. (Which I never said I disliked or liked, just to reiterate as you got me confused with someone else there.)

    I read plenty of books and watch films that have no clear linear narrative, a

    “no clean linear narrative” doesn’t mean it’s not a narrative with a start and an end

    Just like no-one would describe you as (I’m just assuming gender now but whatever doesn’t make the point any different) a handsome and successful man, but I still think you can be described as a man (or a woman).

    So your “no clear linear” is just shifting goalposts.

    a particular story structure, doesn’t mean that’s the only type of structure that is valid.

    And why would it? But see, even you point out the alternative is other story STRUCTURES because stories have structures. Mainly a beginning and an end, when you generalise enough. But narrative stories do have structure.

    You’ve still not given a simple example or a narrative story without a beginning a middle and an end, have you?

    Oh little babby is trying to be condescending while talking utter shite out of his arse, how adorable.

    I point to literally all stories. Just because some narratives are more convoluted than others doesn’t mean they don’t begin and end, dumbo.

    Oh you do give an example… of what you point out isn’t a story as such. Because it’s not a narrative. Did I ever say all written art is stories? I don’t think I did. But I get it… You’re not here to argue or with an open mind. You just said something dumb and now refuse to accept you did.


  • You’re even confusing me with someone else.

    Tell me, which definitions of a story are you aware of, then?

    Because I can’t find a single one that even slightly supports your naive garbage. A story is narration. (from latin narrare, to tell) and a narrative has a plot and a plot has a beginning, a middle and an end.

    I’m not conflating shit. You’re pretending you can tell a narrative without touching any conventions (which go back tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years).

    Just because you don’t get the art film doesn’t mean it didn’t have a beginning, a middle and an end. If it doesn’t then it’s just okay to only watch a portion of it? And since there’s no end or start, you can just watch a random 10 min from anywhere and backwards or forwards… riiight? Because that’s what you’re saying, dimwit.

    Just like with the structure of a narrative, you’re completely wrong. I have never said I don’t like 2001. But will you accept that? Ofc you won’t.


  • Your argument is a thing you’re not aware of can’t exist.

    Can’t really talk to such a fundamentally moronic person, really. If you don’t realise that there are things which you don’t understand but others do, then there’s just no helping you. Maybe try a few milligrams of LSD.

    Must be nice to be smarter than professionals who make movies and cars. Wish I as much of a genius as you clearly are.

    It’s not actually, because the large majority of people are like you, who just won’t accept the fact they’re ignorant of something.

    So which professional storytellers have said that there are no conventions in stories? Which movie doesn’t have a start middle and end? Documentaries? Even they do. Because it’s ingrained in humanity for hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of years.

    Who were the professionals whom I am smarter than?

    Not Dan Harmon, that’s for sure. https://youtu.be/RG4WcRAgm7Y
