Watered the bed in the morning and evening with approx. 0.5 l of water to prevent the surface from drying out.
Soil life looks good. Lots of springtails, worms can be found every few square centimeters directly under the mulch layer.
Zero fertilizer till now (will stay this way for the whole grow)
Just gave about 5 litres of pure water. Had some fun watching the different species of my beneficial insects.
Other than that, just had to do some lawn mowing because the cover crop frenzied :)
Last week again only around 5 liters of water for the entire bed every 2-3 days.
Tensiometer consistently shows 80-100mBar suction tension.
Plants have a beautiful canopy of leaves and have become very bushy.
The growth phase will now continue for another week and then flowering will begin.
Preparation for the flowering phase by adding Soft Rock Phosphate (needs a few days in Living Soil until it is available to the plant).
Added some phosphate and fermented fruit juice because of flowering.
Otherwise, they received about 13 litres of water per plant this week, or about 40 litres for the entire bed in a week.
The soil is nicely moist (about 100 mBar suction tension).
All plants look good.
Still no signs of deficiency symptoms, only a little light stress apparently. Therefore, I followed a good piece of advice and raised the lamp a little higher. 🙂
What I wouldn't do again is put three plants in a bed, it's a bit cramped overall.
