Ok Im desperate for some help now...Ill fill you in on the background
Im an ex smoker who saved some seeds from way back approx 3yrs ago...its the start of the grow your own vegtable seaon April (Im from the UK btw) and i thought ill give it a bash growing my own for a smoke this winter, I put the seeds on paper towles they sprouted transfered to a plastic 4inch pot grew seeds till they were about 10inch heigh (at this point 1 died) transfered to a terracota 12inch pot not sterlised and with normal plant compost, hardened off to the outside they then spent time chilling out with my tomato plants in a south facing garden we had a bad storm and the temperture dropped for about a week (another 1 died) this left me with 1 plant, fed it on bog standard tomato feed that you pick up in the supermarket (i have no idea what the nutrient value was/is), Had a lousy summmer of rain and more rain but this little plant hung in there.
My tomato plants caught mould with all this rain so moved Gerty off to another area of my garden and sat and waited to see if it was in fact a she,
Was so chuffed the day i found out it was a she, after a windy day found her blown over and a bit battered picked the snails and caterpillars off and secured against fence properly, Next came the white fly caught a few garden spiders and placed them on plant sprayed with organic fly killer no pest at all
Spiders in tact and very happy.
My plant is now about 4ft tall and as bushy budding all over ive not pruned wouldnt know how to buds are all over with there little spider hairs coming out ( i will post piccy tomorrow)
The temperature has dropped so i have brought plant in and stuck it in the bathroom....just read she needs fresh air so i have popped down and opend the window and turnt light off.
The thing is Gerty has made it this far and i think i better give her some care and attention i havent feed her for at least 10 days been on holiday...
My questions are;
Do I need to feed her?
Should i keep her outdoors for day and bring her in at night or just leave her out?
As i dont have a clue what strain she is how will i know when she ready to harvest?
What about pest will they eat her alive if i bring her in?
Feel free to ask me for any more info but basicly ive treated her mean and boy is she keen!!
