So, after all the trials and tribulations of this little plant that could, it comes to an end today..
Note to self. Start more that just a cpl seeds. They were both male ๐
Live and learn haha.
Happy growing everyone!
Quick update on the the little plant that could. Despite being snapped a third of the way up the stem and having the top ripped off in the same accident, she is pushing on up the hill of life. Have started giving liquid fertiliser once a week. She could possibly even use more often maybe? First...
OK. I'm home again. That poor plant has been through the ringer. The stem has broken about a third of the way up, and the she was inadvertently topped during the same incident that caused the stem to break. A ball landed on her. She is not happy at all. The other one that is in a pot and was...

Outdoors, in soil comprising composted cow manure and a little composted chicken manure mixed through. No ferts. Full sun from about 9am to 6.30 pm. Soil ph sits at 7. I'm away from home and thinking she has been given a little too much love with the watering can lol. I hope she can recover ๐
Yeah. I'm not home so someone else has been "looking after it"
I'm guessing waaay too much water.. Oh well. Hopefully she'll dry out in the coming days and perk back up
You could use some kind of wicking system for the nutrients. Say you had 5 holes in a plastic pot, or more maybe, and ran a wick into each hole and surrounded each one with an absorbent medium that the roots could grow through, that might work aye? You might have to hold the plant in with some...
Oh. Yeah sorry. I had tilled it in. That's cool. I was sorta hoping that's all it was but wanted to double check with you guys that it wasn't early stages of something more sinister.
Thanks everyone who answered. You guys rock! ๐ค๐
