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.

@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..
