Mokum's Tulip 2023

~ 4th week ~ At the beginning of the week the plants are 13 cm tall and over 35 cm in diameter. They started to develop fifth layer of leaves. The lower leaves became huge, almost like chestnut leaves. The main trunk is as thick as a pencil. It's not very clear in the photos, but the side branches are 5cm long, and the space between nodes is 1,5 cm. At the end of the week, i sprayed the plants with a neem oil solution. I always do it (once a month) during each crop prophylactically - since i had a sad experience with a spider mites some time ago. Once the plants are in the flowering phase, i won't be spraying them any more - that would be bad to the taste of smoke. Instead, i'll use the Neoseiulus Californicus (beneficial mite). The plant looks magnificent - you can see that she lacks nothing. And that's most important. Keep it up.
