Ventricosa Haircut

OMG h8 pings
I was trimming the ventricosas today and decided to take some pics. They really decided to grow all crazy style this winter.

Really nice! My ventricosa can only manage to keep 2 pitchers at a time. What kind of lights do you grow yours under? They all look really nice.
 
I grow mine under 4 4' regular lights.

They get misted at least 3 times a day, humidity is anywhere between 40% to 80%. The lights sadly add a lot to that drastic humidity swings.

Highs about 80 during the day, low of 59.

Hope that helps!

I like the color of the leaves. Nice and green. Not tepid and yellow like my ventricosa. YUCK.

yucky yellow ventricosa
 
Do you fertilize, Fryster?
 
The first two higher ones are Lowes clones lol.... but the lower one might have come from BE as I got it from the froggy place a year ago. I did start noticing a color difference though, you can see the lower one is getting a bit of a yellow hint. They all produce very similar pitchers, so I think they might all be the same parent clone, so not sure why the color difference is becoming so evident.

This weekend is the first time fert was given to them. So maybe I'll post an update in a month or two to determine if color has changed at all in these folks.
