###### Week 2 and the Northern lights Auto is Doing quite well.
The Clay balls are in the netcup now as the tap root has found it's way into the nutrients so I
no longer need to hand water. Also the Sweet basil is going really well , I should be able to start using some in the kitchen
in a week. The nutrient mix for the basil is fairly weak 0.5mls of both Professors nutrients A+B and the same amount of Seasol and silica. I only change out the nutrients as needed with the basil as it does not seem to drink a whole lot yet.
Apparently Basil grown hydroponically prefers a Ph range of 6.5-6.8 and once established the nutes at around 700-900ppm
See you all next week ################################# 😃
@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 😂 bit like fresh dynamic lifter on a hot day Nothing Like it 😂😆
@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 vegies😂😂
@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..
