growing diary:

The preperations for the grow began end of june. I decided to choose
mostly indica mothers for the next grow because i had mostly sativas the
last grows. After 2 weeks rooting (most in oasis, some in jiffies)
the plants got transplanted from 0,5l pots into 2,2l. Afterwards they
were put into the garden because they were to big for the mother closet.
So after about 1 week vegging in the garden the bed was ready for the next go,
so i put them into the big soil bed:

before



afterwards



After 7 days veg in the bed and lots of problems with head (up to 35°) i bought a cooltube and
a second exhauster for it. The Temps are now in green areas. Since then i light them with only
11/13 lights a day. Until next friday i spray a lot with Leaf Coat (bio bizz), then the blue spectrum lights
will be replaced with red for blooming, and light will be 12/12.

Cooltube in action



exhaust air (to the window)



temp



Something to say to the bed, what is maybe new for some of you, as i only use bio products i decided to
go more nature than ever before. so i bought 45 earthworms for my bed, which is very good for the air in the roots,
they eat the bad roots, and so on, so it should be very healthy for the plants.

the earthsworms in there old living room:



entering the new home - sry for the bad pics, but they dont like light very much ;)



Whats new too is my soil moisture sensor. the problem with the last grow and the bed was that i didnt
or hardly knew what the moisture was in the earth at about 20-30cm deepth. so here it is, the soil moisture sensor
is put into the soil at about 20cm deep. more infos on www.blumat.de (blumat digital)

now to the important point, the plants and single portraits

Belladonna:



Most plants have been topped to keep all plants on the same height. Until now everything runs fine for me,
so i hope the plants will develop nice as usual. I hope you enjoy my report and post some deliberate answers/
questions.

This text/picutres is also posted on other hempforums, if a forum admin got a problem with that,or that i
dont upload the picutres on the forum server, pls tell me and i will stop reporting, as its a lot of time
to do as i report...

greetings until next time

wow sounds nice, cant wait to see ;)

yes black plastic and below there is alluminium, better than only alluminium, worser than a sonodec, but no space for a sonodec inside the closet

hiya all (or only 3legdog :p)

we are on day 23 of bloom:

today i really got one of my earthworms on a foto
when i opened my closet shortly after the lights switched on there were lots of earthwors "lying" on the earth. when the light became stronger they all suddlenly disapperrad into the earth, ahha was very funny to watch

so 1 was hiding below a "pipeline" for the plants, and what can i say, after i took the foto (with flash) he was disapperad ;)

so here he is, one of my 45 natural helpers:



here my second sweet berlin, in the center:



and white russian, sry the picture isnt the best, but i think you can see that she is in front, she has already some weight packed on (wow on day 23!)
