Northern lights Auto & Sweet Basil

Welcome Back to the Seedsman and sweet basil Diary 28th August 2019 😃 Things Are not how they seem .............. Even tho the plant looks quite green and healthy she has had a case of Root rot for the last week, but I've been managing the problem by using hydrogen peroxide daily. This however is only a band aid solution and today after taking these pictures I removed 60% of the root mass that had turned brown and mushy. I then washed the remaining roots in a bucket of water with some H2O2 and 5mls of pure bleach. After this I put her back into a weak solution of rainwater with Superthrive ph'd to 5.7 . I hope this keeps her alive until some root repair and rot preventative solution arrives in the Post. For those wondering how I knew there was a problem before looking at the roots .. I noticed the plant looked like she was wilting from overwatering. And being in a permanent solution I instinctively knew she was having problems below . ie the root rot was making it hard for the plant to breathe and absorb nutrients and water properly. Now for the Sweet basil report.. Absolutely gone nuts since last week and the change of nutes I gave it. 💪💪 Take a look at the pics above at how much I harvested!! I am sending this lot into the local aged care house for the chefs to use in their cooking. I will let this plant keep producing until it carks it or the seedsman plant gets harvested then I'll probably raise another batch of fresh seedlings and begin the cycle all over again. Thats about it for this week I will update when things develop. 🙏🙏🙏
