The whole team was on deck this week after a couple weeks away, and it felt great to be back in conversation with all the growmies! From diving deep into the crucial role of water content and managing substrate EC and pH, to breaking down the nuances of VPD, to covering how environmental factors impact botrytis growth and the importance of having consistent runoff, we covered lots of ground in this episode!
Check out a few of our favorite quotes from the show – AND if you like what you see, show us some love by nominating Office Hours for the Emjays’ Best Content Creator of the Year award!
If we're not replacing enough of those ions, that pH is going to drift down…once it drifts low enough, that's typically that classic nutrient lockout. The other part of that is, if we're not replenished, pH is kind of our indicator whether or not we're correctly replenishing that nutrient balance in the root zone.” – Seth
“So post drying, one of my favorite things to do is make sure I have reasonable climate control in any areas that the product is going through. So any other processing areas, if you're bucking it, if you're doing any of the trimming, if you're doing some grinding or processing, rolling joints, that type of stuff, make sure that we're at relative humidity in those rooms. That is going to kind of keep our water activity in the product about equal.”
