How do you keep water temperature in the Range in summer and winter
@GreenEase
@GreenEase Күн бұрын
We run the water through a instant natural gas hot water heater in the winter. We don’t have to run it much to keep it warm enough. We are far enough north that we don’t have to use a chiller in the summer. It stays below 75 on its own.

I've seen some big greenhouses leave their seed trays into a highly humid room and once they are germinated, they'll be transferred to the dwc pool. Is there any reason that you prefer using Ebb and Flow shelves over that simple way?!

it’s a more efficient use of space. Space is more expensive than labor for us. The systems and processes reflect what the businesses constraint is I would assume.

Really cool to see the operation, however you could probably grow 10x more lettuce in the same amount of space if you set your farm up vertically, would be a lot more expensive to set up though. If you need to expand, instead of getting another greenhouse you should definitely start growing vertically. It would be very interesting to see the costs vs sales and how much profit you make too.

@@GreenEase I haven't used it, but assuming I found the right one I personally wouldn't use it because it's a bacterial culture designed to outcompete the bad bacteria- but would probably outcompete the nitrosomas and nitrobacter bacteria that I want for converting fish waste to nitrogen. Trichoderma is a fungus that outcompetes other funguses, which is how it prevents fusarium. So quantum seems to be a similar concept but probably not ideal for my context.

We buy those trays prefilled. When we get them, the pH of the plug can be inconsistent. Getting them wet and flushing them out lets me know for sure what I’m dealing with. Also, if it’s wet germination starts right away instead of whenever someone gets around to watering them or the automatic watering happens.

Started with Gladius but grew very tall and sometimes thin under shade cloth, would flip my nft channels when too big and was often too big for my totes. Grew Monte Carlo from Jonny's this year which was a shorter plant but didn't head up as well as Gladius. Tried Tendita also, smaller (sold as mini) but fairly dense, good crunch, slow to bolt, outer leaf tip burn issues if i didn't stay on top of nutrients. Both Monta Carlo and Tendita's flavors seemed to be more effected by higher temps getting a bit sour.
