There is not much info about these HumboltSeedCo seeds/ plants called "Lemongrass". So here's a few 100% legal-grown Cali pics......early-to-mid season.July 2019. * One is in a 14" pot, topped and heavily trained. * The next is in a 10" handicap pooper, topped once and somewhat trained. * and the last is all by itself.... 10" pot.....topped once, All are facing south, about 10 hours sunlight per day. 20190711_151032[1] by Randy_MDR posted Jul 11, 2019 at 3:33 PM 20190711_151040[1] by Randy_MDR posted Jul 11, 2019 at 3:35 PM 20190711_151047[1] by Randy_MDR posted Jul 11, 2019 at 3:36 PM
All are organic, in Foxfarm soil with a little shredded coco fiber plus a little pumice, and fish fertilizer. Top mulch is cocoa hulls. Super easy.
They look a little thin for the time-being.....because they were just recently topped and trained. But I suspect they will fully fluff-out soon. (is why I spread-out the growing stems so much) Growth spurt should happen soon, and flowering should begin in mid- late September.... harvest in late October. I'll switch to a lower Nitrogen organic fert near the end of August.
Here is something strange......and interesting. I topped one plant, and rooted it. (For rooting, all I used was fresh soil and painted the stalk with diluted honey.) This was tried late in the year in a dixie-cup. I almost threw it out. It only had 2 bracts and was about 4" high.. Transplanted it into a 10" pot, late in the outside season, for the hell-of-it. Now look at it, in 3 just weeks....over tripled in size to 14"....(outside)
You know what this means right ? ....another option if I want to keep outdoor plants small ? It means I could grow 2 medium-sized plants (and when they show female flowers).... root their main topped trimmings half-way into the season.....creating many small clones. Then transplant those clones in to their final vessel, late in the season. I could end-up with possibly 12 or more flowering plants, no taller than 24 inches at maturity. And all I would have used, is two seeds at the beginning.....lol.
