Office Hours Episode 109

Perpetual harvest tips, using real-time data for drybacks, secondary metabolites, & more!

Cultivation knowledge is power!

In this episode, Jason and Seth covered everything from what’s going on with osmotic pressure and course-correcting with re-vegetation, to optimal day and night temperature and VPD targets in a perpetual harvest, to dropping advice on leveraging real-time data for more precise irrigation strategies, and so much more!

Dig into a few of the insights from this week’s show – and don’t forget: there’s still time to nominate Office Hours for the Emjays’ Best Content Creator of the Year award – so please cast your vote by August 18 (we so appreciate it)!

Steering in a Perpetual Harvest

“The most success that I've personally ever seen with it is running a room that has linear airflow going across it. So that way we can control at what points we're injecting humidity, pulling it out, and what temperature the air is coming in at versus the gradient experiences across the room.” – Seth

Runoff Reality Check

“Sometimes when you're on Instagram, you see these pictures – it's very common for six by six Hugos, where the roots are starting to run down the table. That would also indicate you've got too much runoff.” – Jason

Secondary Metabolites + Photomorphogenesis

Photomorphogenesis…is talking about how do we actually enable those specific secondary metabolites at different times in the plant? So we're modulating the spectrum over the plant lifecycle, so we might be using a little bit more blues when …we're in early veg to increase the speed of growth for our leaves, stalks and stems….Towards the end of the cycle, we might make sure that we're pushing a bunch of infrared so that we can get those phytochromes active, have higher terpene levels.” – Jason
