SEASONAL GROW TIPS
When choosing a software platform, remember to find
one that can be upgraded as the growroom evolves. For
example, while on the other side of the world, there is
technology available that allows gardeners to use a
nutrient doser to actually add pH solution or nutrients to
improve the reservoir mix. Having the correct monitoring equipment is key so data is correct and growers can
act accordingly. Technology like this means that when
you are vacationing, there are no worries over having
a friend who doesn't know anything about gardening
check on the pets and plants since you have the data
right there on your smartphone.
Back-up During Loss of Power
When power is disrupted, which is often the result of
powerful winter storms, it is incredibly destructive to the
garden. Anything from pumps, fans, air conditioning,
dehumidification, lights, or any other major players in
your garden can be completely wiped out until the power
outage is corrected. Depending on how it is configured,
total crop loss can occur from power outages. There are
ways to protect against this type of loss, such as providing back-up power, watering by hand, or using dimmer
battery-powered lighting to at least wake up plants that
should be awake when there are temporarily no lights
to do so. The main goals are to prevent stress to the crop
and to restore power or create alternate power as soon
as possible using a generator, extension cords, etc.
Don't return to
stressed plants, do
some planning and
RETURN TO A
THRIVING CROP."
