Critical purple auto outdoor

One more attempt to grow in the same soil in the same pot the second plant. The idea is that basil roots have to be full of nitrogen. Again only water the whole cycle.

Growing on schedule. Under lamp in the night and under sun in the day.

It is growing big!

The night is cold. Around 10 Celsius. Put the lamps as close as possible. Lady is growing. With last three months experience I’m afraid to see preflower yet. Last 3 bushes were dwarfs. This one gives me hope to grow something bigger. Started LST today to stimulate branches. Leaves shows no deficit in nutrition.

Tried an old grandma method of fertilizing ) with a carrot. Just tear the carrot and leave it in 1-2 liters of water for one day. Then the water becomes full of useful nutrition. No one knows what exactly there but it works fine with room flowers. Anyway I’m not going to use any artificial fertilizers the whole cycle. So we will see how it works with weed. Preflower start to appear. So it is an auto ) so happy it grew bigger than all my plants last 6 months

It got very cold. The growth nearly stopped. Minus is not possible here so no worries. But will wait a bit longer for ripening.

It grows slow because of +10 in the night.

A lot of yellow leaves appeared at flowering. Which means either over watering or lack of some nutrition.

Now I can see purple buds! Got some dry river clay today. Want to see some results in one week.

Oh what a smell!

The last improvement of the soil with river clay and stone powder brought a lot of new growth on the purple buds.

Nothing special happened. New growth on buds. And nice heavy smell. It’s neighbour appeared to be a hermaphrodite!! Moved it far far away and now trying to remove the balls from two branches. Can it work somehow to avoid pollination ?

It looks like ready but I’ll wait another week.
