Vegetative
The plant is about 5 weeks old now.
This marks the end of the vegetative period, I guess.
There's no clear cut with these autos...
But I think it won't grow much talller with all the pistils forming.
Ferts
I don't know if the genetics themselves caused the maturity or that the plant now fully fills the pot.
Either way, it's the ideal size for the balcony.
The roots now reach every corner of the soil, and I think it's time for a dose of liquid fertilizer.
New Seedlings
I also planted 2 new seeds.
They seem a bit slow, especially one of them.
The compost that I use is not the best medium for starting the plants in.
Maybe I should switch to peat for the early stages...
Quick One
So far the Northern Lights looks stronger than the 2 Quick Ones I grew last year.
It's so vigourous!
The weather was mild to cold.
I grew the Quick Ones in summer.
Both don't really like the heat.
Maybe it's the season, maybe this one seed was really good, maybe the soil is better this year...
Potassium
I want to blast the plants with a high dose of potassium (K) this year.
I'll try woodash and maybe liquid stuff, if I can get it cheap somewhere.
I'll apply a single dose, right when the buds start to swell.
I don't like the woodash, because it has the wrong PH and also because I don't know how much to apply and how long it takes to be bio-available...
Maybe I'll just order proper NPK 2 2 6 or whatever...
I still have 1 week to decide, I guess...
