Hi everyone I had a major panic attack during this last weeks growth period as she developed a sudden potassium deficiency and the leaf edges started to burn and she looked like Death . I was so close to just pulling it out and throwing her away but decided to persevere , Change her nutes and hope for recovery. So far touch wood she seems to be doing well again and I am anticipating the shift into flowering fairly soon so I will need to keep those nutes supplied so it doesn't happen again. The sweet basil is still pumping along beautifully and I have taken four lots of basil amounting to around 4 cups worth so far and she doesn't seem to be fazed at all. When I grow this outdoors it's a constant battle to keep up with removing the flowers from the basil so that it keeps growing new leaves. However in this environment with 20 hours of light provided each day there have been zero signs of any attempt to flower. I have some baby dill seedlings going now too as they are believed to be a natural deterrent for bugs such as the dreaded spider mite. I have always been interested in companion planting with my vegetable growing areas always contain some marigolds, Wormwood, coriander, nasturtions ,onions , garlic just to name a few I also have natural bird feeding plants such as grevillias and proteas as I am against any form of cruelty to nature and love having the birds visit my garden. Feeds for this week Seedsman northern lights Auto Cyco silica @ 2mls/ litre Professor's nutrient's A+B @ 3mls / litre Seasol @ 0.5mls / litre Don't forget the seasol ๐Ÿ˜ ppm 750 Ph 5.7 Sweet Basil Professors nutrients go green @ 1ml / litre Seasol @ 0.5mls / litre ppm 400 ph 6.7 So there we have it See you all next week and Thank you for taking the time to Read this ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@DILLIGAF, DWC is an exact science requires a lot of maintenance. Unforgiving if you make the simplest of mistakes ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

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.
DILLIGAF
DILLIGAFcommented5 years ago
@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

Cheezycommented5 years ago
@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!

@Cannibalgardens, you can dilute it with more olive oil if you find it's a bit potent
