Growing outdoors. NOrthern exposure right now about 15 hours of light.
(plants are about 10 weeks old today)

The plants are in 5 gallon plastic buckets with large finger sized holes punched into the bottom for drainage. 1 plant per bucket.

Soil mixture is = 1/4 Miracle Gro potting soil, 1/4 dried horse manure
and 1/2 pea gravel. It seems to drain well.

I'm watering them with nothing but rainwater and distilled water from the supermarket, every 4 days or so and I mist the leaves every other day with distilled water.

I am not putting in any other fertilizer.

So far they're up to the 6th nodes of 7-bladed fan leaves.
fair number of "armpit hair" auxillary stalks. about 1 foot tall.


So....what does everyone think? I've never heard of anyone using this combination of SOIL ...probably because horse manure isn't readily available to just anyone, probably because it's a horrible idea and I'm going to get a crop of male burn victems, I don't know....

Anyone??
