First update – after 2 weeks

We are now in the 7th week of vegetation.
There isn't much to tell.
I swapped the 24K for the French Macaron because the tent walls pull inwards in the middle and thus take up space.
They had taken a few days to arrive after being repotted. They are now growing well again.
As already mentioned, due to the Living Soil I can only use water and do not have to add any other nutrients. But my tap water is too calcareous, so I use an osmosis system. I improve my osmosis water with the maximum amount of CalMag. But because that's not enough to get my desired eC value (0.5), I mix two parts of the osmosis water with one part of tap water.
This is the only work I have to do at the moment. Otherwise it's just a matter of waiting.
The front right Black Apple looks pretty skinny, but otherwise everything looks fine. The conditions are still the same as in my first post.
I'll let it grow for a few more weeks too, let's see how it goes. :)

Thank you very much! @Momma bear

[Jayme Ream]

great thanks for sharing!

[Rorschach]

your ladies are doing great Fabi
how was the temperature drop these days? Did it affect your growspace?

[fabi420]

@Jayme Ream Thank you for looking in! :)

@Rorschach Thanks man
The temperature drop was very strong with us, around 15 degrees Celsius. But it doesn't matter much to my room though. :)
I have an extra room for the tents, where I've had the window open all the time since April. With the temperature drop now, I only have to close the window overnight.
The humidity has increased quite a bit, but I can still keep the level down through the window and the door.
Thank you for your demand! :)

Tomorrow I will also post here what my Living Soil contains.

Hello everyone. For those who are interested in Living Soil, today I would like to present what is in my medium. That means what's in my "ready to use"/"all in one" living soil mix called Florian's Living Organics, FLO for short.

FLO delivers macronutrients, micronutrients, root, growth and flowering stimulator, enzymes, humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, silicates, CalMag boosters, fungi and bacteria in one product.

The pH value in the substrate is automatically brought to a value of 6.0-6.5 by the living microorganisms in FLO.

Its ingredients are natural and comply with the EU guidelines for organic farming EC (VO) No. 834/2007.

FLO improves your plant's metabolic performance, resulting in higher yields, better quality and sweeter fruit thanks to alfalfa, plus
that FLO allows you to easily recycle your used substrate.

Fertilizer Description:
Organic mineral NPK fertilizer 2-3-2
Secondary components: calcium (CaCO3) 1%, magnesium (MgO and MgCO3) 0.6%, organic matter 60%. Using animal by-products according to Cat. 3 VO (EG) 1069/2009 (raw materials blood, fish and meat bone meal, 7% bat guano), vegetable substances from the food and feed industry (ascophyllum nodosum, alfalfa, vinasse granules), earthworm humus, leonardite , Palm Ash, Oyster Shell, Dolomite Lime, Epsom Salts, Bentonite, Live Microorganisms (Nine Strains Endomycorrhiza, Seven Strains Ectomycorrhiza, Two Strains Trichoderma, Effective Microorganisms and 14 Bacterial Strains).
It is mineral only due to ground rock.

Mixing: Mix FLO under your substrate (70% soil/30% coconut) 10 days before use, water it lightly (max. 10% of the substrate) and leave it in a closed container for 10 days. In this way, the microorganisms can get to work and help the plants as much as possible. I also add oatmeal to the mixture so that the microorganisms have carbohydrates to feed on directly. I also let my water sit for 24 hours before watering it, this reduces negative substances like chlorine and the temperature adjusts.

Although I personally now have to treat my water because it is too calcareous. (see first update Sep 17, 5:52pm)

That's it, if you have any questions feel free to ask. :)
