This fifth week started off kinda rough. I had to remove some sick leaves that got hit by leaf miners. Iโve cleaned up all the damaged parts from the plants, including this one. On Monday, Iโm gonna spray them with a ready-to-use mix that has Neem oil, nettle extract, and horsetail.
I also noticed a slight nutrient deficiency, probably because until now I was only watering with untreated tap water โ didnโt check the pH at all. Even when I fertilized, I still used water with no pH adjustment. Iโve only just started using pH-controlled water like two or three times now, since I finally bought a pH meter. Now Iโm watering and fertilizing with everything adjusted to 6.5, so thatโs something I need to keep in mind from now on.
Iโm planning to bump up the fertilizer to 1 ml per 500 ml of water. Iโm using Biobizz Bloom, and I wanna keep the dose like that because the pot is small โ just 3.2 liters โ so I donโt wanna overdo it with 1 liter of water. Iโve noticed that 500 ml works just fine, so Iโll stick to that.
Other than that, everything seems to be going okay.
