Heating quite a bit

This seed started out almost on its own, growing in a pot overrun with weeds and random plants. I didn’t really care for it until I eventually repotted it, giving it a choice: thrive in a bonsai pot or end there. To my surprise, it showed remarkable resilience and adaptability. Within a week—despite having its roots trimmed—it was already flowering in the tiny bonsai pot, proving just how capable these plants can be when left to themselves. When I first grew this strain, I gave it all the attention it could need, yet it constantly struggled with mildew. Meanwhile, this little one grew just two meters away from three pumpkin plants completely covered in mildew, and it didn’t even develop a single white spot. I haven’t tested this under controlled conditions, but I suspect it might be related to the silica I’ve been adding to my water since my second grow. Ever since following Bruce Bugbee’s advice on that, I haven’t had issues with powdery mildew.
