Description: Deutsch: Auf dem Bild kann man 2 Quarzitsteine sehen. (Unter einer guten Lupe sieht die Oberfläche der Steine wie mit Bergkristallen besetzt aus). Wir sind der Vermutung nachgegangen, dass Bergkristall das Wachstum und die Qualität der Lichtwurzeln begünstigt. Diese Vermutung konnten wir nicht generell bestätigen - wie immer ist die Wirklichkeit sehr komplex. Wir verwenden Quarzitsteine nur noch auf Reihen, die generell weniger Licht bekommen, dort ist eine Steigerung der Erntemenge signifikant. Bei einem "Zuviel" an Licht + Quarzitsteine schlägt die Wirkung eher in das Gegenteil um. English: In the picture you can see 2 quartzite stones. (Under a good magnifying glass, the surface of the stones looks like it is covered with rock crystals). We investigated the assumption that rock crystal favors the growth and quality of the Light Roots. We could not generally confirm this assumption - as always, reality is very complex. We only use quartzite stones on rows that generally get less light, there an increase in the harvest is significant. If there is "too much" of light + quartzite stones, the effect tends to turn into the opposite. Date: 13 June 2018, 08:46:01. Source: Own work. Author: Hans-Martin Aurich.
