I gave her the first Veg nutrients and she almost doubled in size over the course of a few days. I am super super impressed with the results of mixing the Neem powder in to the soil. There isn't a single bug bite on any of the leaves. I think next week i'll also give it a spray of the neem. Since neem powder has an NPK value, i think it has also helped in speeding up the growth.
This was also the first week of LST.
@Ryder,
Bugger, that is something I didn't consider here. Running an average of 67% humidity all year round and I'm about 50 meters from the sea. Lets see how it all goes.
@RustyStarbuck72,
Mine was slightly deformed too when it popped out of the soil, but it has grown strong and doesn't show any deformity anymore. Lets see how it turns out.
@RustyStarbuck72,
Thanks mate. This is my first one and so far so good. I've been playing around with the LST this week, you'll see the pics in my next updated diary.
@Ryder,
Absolutely bloody spewing mate. I gave her a good hose down and we'll see how it goes. If she survives til harvest, I read that you can wash the plant in bicarb soda and lemon to kill them off before hanging for the dry.
