Experiment: What happens if you do absolutely nothing at all

[The_NorthEast_ChileMan]

I actually fear that your experiment may produce a negative result in the minds of those who may hinge upon this thread with optimism.

 
While I share your fear, I don't believe this thread will have the readership of so many others that you constantly have to advise about high P ratios will not have any advantages to flowering.
 

Exactly! We so often read of members recommending or using high P nutes to fix this (Cue solid7!) when there is nothing to fix.

And I didn't think anyone paid attention to me
.
Healthy growth is as good of an indicator as you could ever ask for. No gimmicks. Just let the plant be, and do what it does.

LOL. I suppose not.

I gave a couple volunteers almost nothing but water since the pot they appeared in was so small. They have done remarkably well for so little human intervention.

Sunday update
 
The first pair of leaves are just coming through

It would be interesting to see if you use the same soil in your control with regular intervention (fertilizing, etc). I feel like that soil could result in a healthy plant on its own due to good drainage and lots of organic matter.

Still just opening it's first set of leaves. Growth normally kicks off when the days are the same length as the nights, around 20th September

"Do nuttin" is doing his favourite thing... nothing! The weather is starting to pick up now. It has a few sets of leaves. Days are now as long as the nights which is usually when things start doing well here in Adelaide

Great! I'll post some updates today. It's the complete opposite of "lanky"
