That makes sense. I have experienced the same when I have planted duplicates indoors and outdoors. I think all around light intensity makes a huge difference, too.

I've been debating terminating this, but I'm not sure if I want to.  |

Added another 8ml of nutes. I'm going to try pushing the amount of nutes I give it and see if I can actually get cherry-sized fruits from it, otherwise I'll terminate it.

Did a little bit of pruning and started more than 50 clones.  |

Just a little LOL.... Can't wait to see how your clones do.

No roots on any of the clones yet. I've cut back the main plant further and moved it to a glass of water - at some point I will try converting it to a bonsai-like plant, maybe?
I think this might be the first plant I've tried to grow that just isn't suited for an AeroGarden. It might be possible if you constantly pruned it and kept the entire plant within the dimensions of the deck (so that the light always shone on it) but I don't think it would be worth it.

One of the clones rooted!  Some of them are killing themselves by focusing on flower development instead of root development:  |

That is wonderful that it rooted.

Potted up four more clones tonight. So far six have rooted and one is already producing fruit!  |

What medium are you using to plant them?

What medium are you using to plant them? Just coco coir - the one on the far front left has perlite on top of the coco coir, but I've been too lazy to create a mix. |

I'm still waiting on the cherries I harvested to turn yellow (or start going bad) before I consider this a success or failure. Today I took the remaining clone attempts and threw them into a compost bottle, since I don't think any more of them would root (although some were flowering or producing fruit...)

I have good news! Although I gave away most of the cuttings and a few died from neglect (oops), they are producing delicious yellowish-orange berries. It's hard to describe the taste, but they're similar to a tomato but without any of the acidity and with a more tropical flavor. It seems like the lighting / plant size was the issue after all, and I'll consider this one as a long-term success  |
