-Local store bought mixed soil 50%+ CoCo coir 20%+ perlite 20%+ worm casting 10% (However, the soil was advertised the pH is balanced, when tested it first time, it was 4.5, 5). Layered clayballs underneath 2 inches and top 1 inch. -Added Dolmite 1.5 tbs + Gypsum 0.5 tbs -Southeast Asian Country*, Rooftop* so the sun light and the heat is real. -Covered shaded clothes but still the temp reaches up to 35C. -Directly planted the seed into the 7gal pot. Day 5: Found out pH was dropped to 3.5,4.5. But when i test the run over it said 5.0. I made an egg shell tea for it to drop pH down. Also found out the soil fertility shows 3mS/cm. Day 6: pH drops i think after testing several spots with different dept lvl. -Due to having high fertility in soil and pH lvl, starting to water deeply and more frequently during morning and noon. Day 7: ph lvl rises gradually i guess. If it actually does, it is pretty awesome as i have to give it some extra nutes in a other than only that it has from the soil.

Day 8: Found like one or two of black spots on the leaf. A friend just wiped it off with finger. Day 9: Found some white dots which i think are spidermites. Neem oil was so hard to find here like every shop was out of stock. -found one though but it is neem oil and tobacco oil mixed one. Day 10: Neem mixed was sprayed around 7pm. Like 5ml was mixed with 700ml of water and sprayed a few to test the reaction of the plant first. Day 11: Seems white dots spread to the other leaves as well. Sprayed neem mix one more time at 7am as the plant seems fine with tabacco.
