Jimmy, in that 300+ page pineapple book you sent me, there was a sentence or two that stated some growers remove the slips from the stalk to increase fruit size but they didn't give any additional information.
I agree with Mark and the green leaves from the slips should produce its own energy. These plants have the Nutricote fertilizer so they should have plenty of nutrients so I'm just going to leave all the slips. I have another White Jade that is a bit smaller than this one and I'll probably remove all the slips when it flowers so I can compare size of fruit and Brix levels. Who knows, the slips could potentially increase Brix levels.
Thanks for info guys,
Simon
