Can you please give a bit of an explanation what can be seen on the picture?

That basilicum(?) is huge 🤩

What is the point of that fan on the right?

    The fan is for simulated wind, the rigth most plants are cannabis, they need a breeze. Wind is the reason plants grow stronger branches, so anything thats getting heavy at the branches/outside is helped with a bit of breeze.

    At the top is a cheap 100w growligth, started as sun support (dimmed to 15w) and dayligth extension. I had the windowsill full of seedlings at the beginning of the year. Now its on full blast until the cannabis moves into my growtent.

    Leftmost in Glasses and in the midlle with a bit of algae are cuttings.

    The Basil is standing in a 20lPot in dire need to be cut, as its starting to flower. It was a single cutting from a storebougth pot of basil. Pic of Roots:

    The Cannabis is standing in leftover plastic container from supplements. Both will move into the same 20LPots as the Basil, when they have a respectable size and fluid ussage.

    All 3 have air bubblers in them, would recommend as it speeds up grow and helps against root rot.

    Thanks 👍

    Seems like the basil is growing faster than you can eat it? That is the main reason I don't grow any... too little use as a herb in cooking for my taste.

    For the air bubbler you just use an open hose? Have you tried a stone diffuser from aquarium supplies? Might give better results.

    Its with diffusors, all of that air stuff is aquarium parts, as hydroponic marketet stuff costs atleast double.

    I actualy wanted oversized basil, as im going to make pesto.

    Edit: This is one Month ago
