Welcome to another weeks update on my Seedsman Northern Lights Auto and Sweet Basil Grow Diary
Everything is stable and going really well The Northern lights seedling has very distinct leaf shaping and i have yet to
have seen this on plants I have grown before.
Must be some sort of Indica dominant genetics coming thru in this phenotype. I am loving the vigour this baby seems to have and Hope it continues thruout the grow.
The sweet basil is really great too in all the years I have been growing basil in my home garden I have not ever had a plant
grow as healthy as this one, and the aroma OMG!! My garden basil needs to be squeezed to release the smell but this one
just needs to be brushed accidently and it releases the most amazing sweet basil aroma ๐
Nutrient change on the NL auto was yesterday 16/7/19
2mls/litre of Professors Nutrients both A+B
1ml/litre Cyco Silica
0.5mls /litre Seasol
Ph 5.8 PPM 450
The Basil Ph 6.6 ppm 600
Thankyou for checking out my diary this week and will see you all on the flip side Happy Growing ๐
Quick photo update 19/7/19 and 21/7/19
@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..
