After a week on the road, Jason and Seth were back together in studio and dove deep into lots of hot topics – from underscoring the importance of rooting in right and how PIDs (proportional integral differential controls) help keep controls systems optimal, to considerations for managing substrate EC, transitioning plants from veg to flower, using supplemental red LED lighting, and much more!
We also dropped a link to the most Frequently Asked Office Hours Questions (and their answers!), plus we dropped the news that AROYA has been nominated for “Cultivation Technology of the Year” with the Emjay Awards – show us some love and cast your vote! Then check out these gems from our latest session:
"If we want to produce the most flower possible and produce the best flower we can, that means we have to maintain all of our environmental parameters and also get the most amount of light, pull out the most amount of humidity, and get the right amount of heat into this plants to be able, these plants to be able to produce the metabolism that's going to lead to what we need to grow." – Seth
“When we are bouncing off set points or going beyond those, the faster that we see changes in the room, typically the more energy that's lost into that plant. And this is where time series data is extraordinarily valuable for tailoring in HVAC systems..because if we're using, say, like a daytime average to evaluate the efficiency or the quality of our HVAC and systems, then we might be missing the mark.” – Jason
“It's always a balance between optimizing plant nutrition and environment and then introducing what's often referred to as stress strategically to really steer that plant morphology." – Seth
