A lot happened this week!
First and foremost, I showed my plant to a friend with a lot more experience than me on Tuesday and he advised me to start topping it. And so I did! It felt a bit wrong but the plant responded nicely to it in the following days with some new branches at the nodes and all the leaves getting bigger and greener. 😊🌱
On Wednesday the soil had finally dried up to a point where I could start watering again. I increased the Bio Grow concentration to 2ml/l and added 150ml of fertiliser mix to the soil which seemed to be the right amount.
Since I noticed some fungus gnats around my plants and on the soil I ordered a pack of SF-Nematodes, mixed them with water and added 100ml of it to the soil, averaging the daily water supply to round about 75 ml/day.
Today, on Sunday, the bigger leaves started to shade the nodes and since the node leaves were big enough to get some light I trained the big leaves downward using plant wire. Although I was a bit scared to hurt the plant too much at first, I’m now pretty pleased with my work and think it will respond well in the coming week. 😊
