################ Hi again my growdiaries friends,
I received some free Seeds from seedsman on my recent order and since I had a spare spot in the tent I decided to
Try seedsman's version of Northern lights Auto Giving me something to compare with when I eventually try other
breeders versions of NL Auto.
I am also growing some Sweet basil in a mini dwc bucket so will use this diary to show how it grows.
There are some ancedotal notes on basil grown near cannabis enhancing the oil production within the buds
so definately worth trying plus I love using the basil in the kitchen so win win
The seed popped within 48 hours and is now in the rockwool cube (see above pics).
Because I am growing in a dwc bucket. So once I remove the plastic film around the cube I will gently fill
the net cup with Clay balls.
Usually the roots will have grown down thru the cube and netpot to reach the nutrients within 2-3 days. ##########
๐ #####UPDATE 5/7/19 She has shrug off her seed casing and is on her way ############
@ROM101, yes I use that one too but as good as it is I just can't bring myself to use it indoors with the hydro
because as you said it does stink like a dead fishes asshole ๐ bit like fresh dynamic lifter on a hot day Nothing Like it ๐๐
@DILLIGAF, they do a power feed as well it comes in a red bottle it's some super potent shit and smells like a dead fishes arsehole but it works amazing on vegies๐๐
@ROM101, thanks mate it tested my patience thats for sure
I think if I wasnt doing a diary on it I would have chopped it awhile back but should end up with something out of it
Hahahaha I saw the cover picture and thought that it looked like basil :P
I've got so much room in my tent (only 1 light right now) and am considering filling it with herbs/veggies.
I didn't even realise this was another one of your diaries! Hahaha happy growing again!
@DILLIGAF, that's quite the difference. I guess that's why the guys I was reading about used marigold, it handles from 6.0-7.5. It probably likes the nutrients more too being a flowering plant.
@Cheezy, I wouldn't plant the basil in with the weed simply because the basil likes a ph of 6.7 - 7.2 and
your weed likes it down around 6.2 -6.5 plus the basil only has fairly low nutrient needs
@DILLIGAF, that's good to know! Our house plants in the living room have attracted so many aphid looking things, thinking about letting loose a bag of ladybugs!
With the basil do you have to plant it in the same container? I've read companion planting marigold in this manner also increases resin production!
I love basil in a fresh eggplant parmesan or even Alfredo .I've only cooked once with weed oil olive in a past was blasted didn't like how strong I had made it lol learned a hard lesson . Anyways the girl looks very healthy in its home there..
