Also I’m in Williamston Michigan.
Thank you for your question. However, I need some further information in order for me to provide you with my best answer:
1). From the question wording, it is not clear to me if this is a plant that has been grown from a cutting, or if from this plant you have removed a cutting to grow another plant. Please clarify.
2). If this plant has been growing for some time in the container shown in your picture, please tell me something about how you have been fertilizing it. How often? With what type of fertilizer (product name)? If you can take a pic of the product label on the fertilizer and send to us, that would be best.
3). With respect to the grow light you are using, how far away is it from the plant in inches?
4). The term "3000W" associated with your grow light is really a marketing descriptor and not an indication of actual output. If you have access to the full specs for this light, look for some number associated with "actual power drive" or "output wattage" If you can find it, what is the number? It might be around 300. My question is an important one since successful growing of an Apple Tartz is very dependent upon the actual output wattage.
5). If you can find the full specs for the grow light, try a take a pic of them and send to us.
Thanks for much. Overall your plant looks reasonable healthy but I believe that things can be improved.
Sorry, I have one additional question: Describe the contained in which this plant is growing. Specifically, does the pot have drain holes in its bottom?
Thanks again.
