The plant in the center is growing out of the same half gallon pot as the one farther away. I never culled one or the other. I cut away most of the middle plant because it was aborting it's sets and it looked like it wasn't going to be orange. The part I left then grew better... turned a more healthy green.
I expected the water supply would be greater but was not expecting the nutrient levels to change so much...Hard to tell from the pic but the nutrient levels in this remaining portion appear to have increased and appear be adequate whereas the other plant in the same dirt is still showing deficiencies.
So, the root system was able to supply the small remaining portion with adequate nutrients because the size of the root system changed (increased proportionally to the amount of plant) NOT because the nutrient levels in the soil changed.
Interesting!?
