Here is a pic of the shoots that first grew out after planting. All the shoots seen here have the buds on the ends.

Here is the same plant 2 months later with new shoots coming from the base of the plant. These newer shoots dont have buds because they are still growing?

Fruitnut, I tested all my plants soil and found one of my Rabbit Eyes had PH 3.5. Will flooding with municiple city water raise the ph back up for me? If it worked for you, how many times and how often did you do it?

Plant looks great to me, maybe pinch the tops to encourage more growth after fruiting.

Those fat buds are indeed fruit buds for next year. Some of them could decide to flower early, anytime between now and next spring. But there will be plenty left and more forming for next spring.

There can be lots of differences in alkalinity of well water. So what mine does and yours will be different. I'd say on mine that 8-12 inches of water flooded through the pots changed the pH by a point or more likely two points. So don't apply very much. One reading at 3.5 isn't that alarming. Multiple readings below 3 call for change in my view even if the plant looks OK. Just don't overreact or you may be chasing it back down with something else.
