Since everything has become so much more expensive over the last years I decided to start growing for myself! When I moved from my flat to a different accommodation I could make a perfect growing room in the extra bedroom.In the beginning…
Of course it all starts with the seeds. I’ve found the correct method for germinating them now. First, I lay the seeds between moist cotton wool and cover these with a saucer to keep them moist and dark. When the roots become visible after a few days, I put them into BIO TERRA PLUS and give them CANNA RHIZOTONIC for about a week to develop strong roots and increase the resistance to diseases.
And… just grow!
After a week, when the plants start growing, I first start feeding them with CANNA TERRA VEGA three times a week. Since I am growing inside, I also have to pay attention to the illumination. During the growing phase the plants receive 18 hours of lighting.
Small plants grow up
When the first flowers appear, about two weeks after I switch to 12 hours of lighting, I switch to CANNA TERRA FLORES three times a week. After three weeks fruits become larger and start to smell wonderful. Sometimes I put a stick next to the plants when they have difficulty in remaining upright because they are so full!
Own taste
When my plants are almost ready for harvest I stop feeding them. This is how the final taste is achieved. My friends often laugh at me but I remain convinced that the taste is a lot nicer if you grow your own (with love) on soil.
With Organic Regards,
