Apple Fritter [Auto #2]

xMuuy Our little ones are growing rapidly! We passed the first week and everything is looking pretty. Included CalMag into every watering due to our osmosis system. This is plant #2/3.

xMuuy Second week of our Apple Fritter Experiment! Our Ladies are still growing strong, increasing in height every day. No problems occured so far, everything's going as planned. We spotted an increase of red colouring inside of the petioles of plant #2 compared to the other ones! Might be the first indicator of a different phenotype? This is plant #2/3. We topped her earlier this week, now she's already growing new shoots beneath the cutting point.

xMuuy Just look at these fine ladies! All of them are growing nicely, even showing signs of early flower phase already. #3 was getting a few yellow spots on the tips of the leaves, which indicated nutrient deficiency, so we included some in the watering for all plants; additional to the already provided CalMag. We have to constantly monitor and adjust the lamp, so #3 doesn't grow too closely to it. Since the other two would be too far away from the light source, we made sure to place them in an elevated position. This is plant #2/3. We topped her once again and used some plastic stretchers in order to extend the plant over the whole pot.

xMuuy Week 4 is flower-week! All of our ladies showed signs of pre-flower last week, now there are already visible buds growing. We had to adjust the height of #1 & #2 once again because #3 is just growing crazy. Can't go any higher than the current position without redesigning our whole setup so this will be the final adjustment (hopefully!). #2 is obviously very different from the other ones, she's a little behind in growth. Though, she does have outstanding red colored petioles in comparison to her mostly just green sisters. We increased the amount of nutrients for them since they'll need much more now. This is plant #2/3. Added additional plastic stretchers to further extend her. Removed some leaves that would get in the way of new growth, just like we did with plant #1 in the beginning. Really excited on how her buds will differ from those of the other plants, and if they will at all!

xMuuy Welcome to week 5! #1 and #3 are developing the same red-coloring on their petioles like #2 did from the very beginning! Buds are growing nicely, getting visibly bigger everyday. Smell went from a rather unpleasant sweet-sour aroma to an almost pure sour scent. We set the humidity to 55% for all of our ladies to prevent budrot, since they are definitly in flower right now (big shoutout to our dehumidifier working his butt off). We noticed, that we need to water them more often; we just checked the pots and were greeted by a very dense rooting system. Being used to a big 20L pot we didn't expected that kind of thirstiness! This is plant #2/3. She's still behind in growth compared to the other ones, but she's getting there slowly! Apart from the other two, she doesn't show signs of nutrient deficiency, probably because she was a bit slower in her growth due to the induced stress of topping her early on.
