Seedsman Northern Lights Auto & Sweet basil pesto week Three
This plant is doing quite well for only her 3rd week of life. The white powdery residue you can see on the leaves
is sulfur powder and is there to stop any chance of the rust fungus I had on another plant from spreading to this one.
This strain is very easy to look after I basically mixed the nutrients up and she is doing the rest No ph swings No signs
of any deficiencies just good solid growth. I will be doing a full nutrient change today and I will slightly up the nutrients to about 600-700 ppm as I am anticipating the shift into flowering in the next week or so.
Now for the sweet basil This stuff smells amazing I harvested about 2 cups worth the other day and made up a fresh batch of pesto using roasted pine nuts and freshly pressed local olive oil. Simply beautiful spread on some of the freshly baked Sourdough I had made earlier.
I also have some Anise growing in the tent now and plan on introducing some dill to the party as I have read that
it can deter the spider mites from settling in. If thats true I think every one should look into companion planting.
See you 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..
