The weather is perfect. About 20 and sun. The biggest problem is maybe that the plants not have been long enough in the sun. They are covered by the tent and it has worked the last five year so why not this year?

It�s still warm weather. This weather is more normal for july here in sweden. Today it was 25 degrees. So far this plant looks like a winner......

I have a theory that the plant will be lazy to develop the rootsystem if they have to much water and manure in the begining. The next week if it�s good weather there is time to feed them!

Consider the weather is the speed of the plant all right. With a bit of luck the temperature will go over 10 degrees soon�.

Bobier 996 39 days old. The only problem is that the primary vine has been a little broken. There is just a few millimeter so I don�t think is matters. Anyone ho know? The plant growing fast now. 40 cm last 24 hours. And in Swedish for my father: Bobier 996 39 dagar gammal. Det enda problemet �r en liten brytning p� huvudrakan. Den �r dock s� liten s� jag tror inte det spelar n�gon roll. Senaste dygnet v�xte plantan 40 cm.
