22.09: This week, I’ve been amazed by the unusually fast growth of two of my plants—they’ve gained a substantial amount of green mass in no time. Watching them thrive so quickly is truly rewarding. I’ve also started adding fertilizers, as it’s been three weeks now, and the substrate manufacturer advised that the nutrients in the soil would last for the first three weeks.
However, my third plant is still struggling, and I’m beginning to doubt whether it will recover. Its leaves are growing in a very odd way, which leads me to suspect that the issue might be genetic—perhaps it’s a mutant. Nature sometimes throws unexpected challenges our way, and this seems to be one of those moments where we can only observe and learn.
On a brighter note, it looks like one of the plants is entering the flowering phase, as I’ve noticed what appear to be young pistils forming on one of the buds. It’s an exciting development, and I can’t wait to see how it progresses!
