On our server www.gms-biobox.de you can find web-cam pictures of
germinating and growing radish. The pictures will be updated every 10
minutes.

The plants are growing in a gastight plant growth chamber, called
Biobox, which provides exact control of temperature, humidity, light and
wind. Additionally the Biobox controls the concentrations of oxygen and
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and measures the rate of production and
consumption of these gases.

The system started today (so it will last maybe two days before there is
much to see) and will run for  2-3 weeks. During this time the Biobox
will not be opened.

The plants are growing in a hydroponic system. They have 24 hours light
(no dark-time), the temperature is 25°C and the rh 75%.
