I am growing nine plants (first time) on my small balcony (Aurora Indica & Haze 19x Skunk), the averige height of the plants after 8 weeks of growing is now 40 inch, three weeks ago i cut the top to get them more broadly. The question is, what is the best distance between the plants so they don´t disturb one another?
Regards!

The closer you have them together, the taller and more spindly the palnt will get as it tries to grow talller to reach the light and outdo the other plants. There is no limit as to how far apart they can be, however ur balcony is only so big.
Keep them as far apart as u want using as much of the balcony as u want!!

Yes give them as much space as possible. You don't want them competing for light.

Click to expand...

...
now i bought some potash from the nearby drugstore..., i "googled" a while and found a recipe: 1 Teaspoon added to 8,4 Pints ( 4 litres ) of water. Is that ok? And how often should i fertilize the plants? And, when should i start fertilizing, "late august" means, flowering started?
Best regards, Martin

High!

What does "high potash fertilzer" exactly means? I used the search-function but found nothing i could understand exactly, maybe cause my english isn´t sufficiant...
I got plain potash ( K2CO3 )and it´s powder, this is used usually for
chrismas bakery .
I read somewhere (previous post) that people use this for fertilize
tomatoes , but it´s not mentioned how much of the solution per plant and how often it is applied.

Regards, Martin

...this is one of my hazeXskunk ladies, still 10 weeks apart from flowering...:

your going to need bigger pots at least 8 inch depending on the space you've got. a tomato fertilizer is a high potash, and if organic all the better
best of luck
