MannyT cuts: London Marker & Petrus

@Sonnenerde, I repotted the plants yesterday and then "watered" them with 5 liters (but I had already watered the soil once before repotting, which I didn't consider). Then, 24 hours later, the value 31 was displayed on my Blumat Digital. I should mention that I only put it in the bed the day before yesterday. Before, the plants were in 1.7-liter pots. There, I watered them once, as recommended by the breeder, with 5% of the pot volume. That was too little; one plant tipped over (but it came with significantly weaker roots anyway). I got the tip from forums to water again. I did that with about 0.6 liters per pot. The plant was doing better after a day. Since then, I haven't watered anymore so the roots can breathe. There has also been some growth. And then, as described, I repotted because the development, especially with the smaller plant, stagnated. I won't be watering for the time being and hope that the plants feel good in the 75-liter pot :)

@KobraCut, feel free to check out https://www.sonnenerde.at/de/faqs, my colleague Luke has answered many questions about the application of our soils there with a lot of love and know-how, maybe that will help you out? PS: Plants clearly show dehydrated leaves before they tip over. 30mbar is pretty much the wettest that a tensiometer can indicate in my experience. Good luck! /Tim

@Sonnenerde, thank you very much. I will read through the tips! I'm still a bit unsure about the 30mbar, so I will just recalibrate the Blumat digital and see if anything changes.

@DrGruen, thank you so much 😊!

@Sonnenerde, very satisfied. No trace of powdery mildew so far and the plants look healthy. The growth of the leaves is almost creepy 👌🏻

@TheDutchWizzards, thanks alot. I just hope the slight mildew problem I had doesn’t return during flower 😁
