ALL RIGHT YOU GUYS I'M ABOUT TO HIT RECORD

YOU GUYS GOOD TO GO YEP OKAY GOOD TO GO

IT'S THURSDAY 4 20 P.M EASTERN THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR OFFICE HOURS AROYA'S WEEKLY SESSION FOR CULTIVATORS TO HEAR FROM THE EXPERTS AND TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THEIR GROWS HELLO HELLO MY NAME IS MANDY AND I'LL BE HOLDING DOWN THE SHOW WITH SETH TODAY A COUPLE OF QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS AS WE GET STARTED FOR EPISODE 35. AROYA IS NOW ON TIKTOK SO BE SURE TO FOLLOW US OVER THERE FOR NEW CONTENT THAT WE'RE ALWAYS ADDING TO UM AND ALSO TODAY IF YOU'RE JOINING US LIVE IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR SETH YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND ADD THAT TO THE CHAT AT ANY TIME WE'LL HAVE YOU MEET YOURSELF SO YOU CAN ASK HIM AND START THE DISCUSSION FIRST TIME QUESTION ASKERS GET ARROYA SWAG AND EVERYONE ON TODAY WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A LIMITED EDITION AROYA SHIRT SO BE SURE TO TYPE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IN OUR CHAT TO ENTER THAT'S LIMITED TO US RESIDENTS AND ONE WINNER PER HOUSEHOLD SETH HOW'S IT GOING NOT TOO BAD MANDY NICE TO SEE YOU TODAY AWESOME YEAH IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN UM YEAH SO WE HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS COME IN THIS WEEK AND WE HAVE A COUPLE TOPICS THAT WE THOUGHT WE'D COVER SO UM YEAH WITHOUT FURTHER ADO YOU GUYS WANT TO GO AHEAD AND START THE SHOW SURE YEAH I THOUGHT UH MAYBE WE JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO CROP REGISTRATION AND HARVEST GROUPS AND HOW WE KIND OF HANDLE THAT IN AROYA AND HOW IT CAN BE CONVENIENT FOR GROWERS SO YEAH THAT SOUNDS GREAT IN AROYA WE TAKE YOU KNOW AROUND A RUN A GROUP OF PLANTS THAT'S GOING THROUGH ITS LIFE CYCLE TOGETHER AND GROUP THEM INTO A HARVEST GROUP AND WHAT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO IS GO BACK AND LOOK AT ALL THE DATA THAT WE'VE COLLECTED FOR THAT HARVEST GROUP IS BOTH CURRENT AND HISTORICAL SO THAT'LL BRING IT TO ONE SPOT WHERE I CAN GO BACK AND ACTUALLY VIEW THE ENTIRE RUN ALL AT ONCE IS IN TERMS OF DATA AT LEAST

AND THIS THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY ACCESS THIS DATA IN THE FUTURE KNOW WHERE IT'S AT AND NOT HAVE TO SPEND A BUNCH OF TIME DIGGING AROUND SPREADSHEETS DIFFERENT FILES THAT MAY NOT BE CONNECTED BINDERS IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE I CAN HOP IN HERE AND GO OKAY HERE IS MY DATA FROM THAT ENTIRE RUN IN TERMS OF WATER EC I CAN LOOK AT ALL THE SENSOR VALUES THAT I CAN NORMALLY LOOK AT ON MY GRAPH IN THE ROOM DASHBOARD AND I CAN ACTUALLY EVEN ADD MANUAL VALUES ON HERE IF I WANTED TO SUCH AS STEM DIAMETER NODE SPACING PLANT HEIGHT SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE GROUP ALL OF THE CROP REGISTRATION TOGETHER SO WE CAN LOOK AT FOR INSTANCE PLANT HEIGHT OR STEM DIAMETER HERE EACH OF THESE POINTS IT'S GROWING THESE ARE ALL REALLY IMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OPTIMIZING OUR CROPS OVER TIME AND FOR THE FUTURE SO WE WANT TO HAVE THIS DATA WE WANT TO LOOK AT IT WE WANT TO MAKE A POINT TO ANALYZE IT IN A WAY THAT IS GOING TO BE HELPFUL FOR US SO WE'VE GOT A YOU KNOW THIS GREAT VIEW OF THE DATA HERE AND WE ALSO HAVE AN ANALYTICS SECTION THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT AND START TO DIAL IN YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE WHAT WAS THE YIELD LIKE WHAT WAS UH HOW HOW WAS I ABLE TO MATCH MY TARGET RANGE GOALS HERE FOR INSTANCE IF I LOOKED AT WATER CONTENT YOU KNOW WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME IN ROCKWOOL IF YOU'RE UH THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY GOOD DATA IT'S JUST SOME DEMO DATA TO POPULATE THE SCREEN BUT IF WE WERE IN ROCKWOOL AND YOUR GRAPH LOOKED LIKE THIS BELOW RANGE FOR A LOT OF YOUR HARVEST YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE A DECREASE IN YIELD SO WE CAN START TO LOOK AT THINGS LIKE THAT AND OVER TIME AS YOU BUILD UP MORE OF THESE HARVEST GROUPS YOU HAVE MORE AND MORE DATA TO LOOK BACK ON AND START TO YOU KNOW APPLY SOME STATISTICAL MODELS TO TO MAKE DECISIONS AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM HERE WE'VE GOT OUR DRY WEIGHT NOW WHAT THIS REALLY ALLOWS US TO DO IS YOU KNOW EVERY DAY AS A GROWER WE SHOULD BE IN THERE TAKING MEASUREMENTS SO WHEN I GO IN EVERY TIME I MIX UP A TANK A FEED SOLUTION I'M GOING TO TAKE THE EC FOR THAT I'M GOING TO TAKE THE PH THEN I WANT TO GET RUNOFF EC AND PH YOU KNOW IDEALLY AT LEAST ON ONE EXAMPLE OF EVERY STRAIN I HAVE IN THE ROOM EVERY DAY WHAT HARVEST GROUPS ALLOWS ME TO DO IS TAKE ALL THESE MANUAL READINGS AND GROUP THEM INTO A PLACE LIKE I'M NOT NOW GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK FOR FLOWER ONE AND FIND A DATE RANGE YOU KNOW YEARS FROM NOW IF I WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THIS DATA AND SEE HOW IT WAS DOING BUT IT'S REALLY REALLY I MEAN I KNOW WE STRESS IT A LOT ON THIS SHOW BUT YOU HAVE TO REALLY HAVE TO QUANTIFY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR PLANS AND PUT IT INTO A FORMAT THAT YOU CAN ANALYZE OTHERWISE IT'S REALLY HARD TO MAKE CHOICES AND A LOT OF THE TIMES IF YOU'RE NOT IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING BACK AT YOUR LAST WHOLE RUN OR PREVIOUS WHOLE RUNS AND STARTING TO CONNECT YOU KNOW HEY HERE'S WHERE WE HAD THIS PROBLEM HERE'S WHERE WE HAD THAT PROBLEM AND HERE'S WHAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT LOOKED LIKE IF YOU CAN'T LOOK BACK AND TRY TO TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH IT'S GOING TO BE NOT FUTILE BUT VERY DIFFICULT AND YOU KNOW LONG A DIFFICULT AND LONG PROCESS TRYING TO MAKE A BUNCH OF SMALL CHANGES WITHOUT LOOKING BACK AND GOING OKAY HOW EXACTLY DID THOSE WORK UM WERE THERE OTHER VARIABLES AT PLAY THAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW THAT WE JUST FORGOT ABOUT BECAUSE I KNOW YOU KNOW AT LEAST FOR ME YOU GET 60 PLUS RUNS DEEP INTO GROWING AT A SINGLE FACILITY AND YOU KNOW A LOT OF TIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE GROWN THE SAME STRAIN 60 TIMES AT THAT POINT OR 100 TIMES IF THAT'S THE CASE YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AND FIND ACTUALLY GOOD INFORMATION YOU KNOW WE SOME PEOPLE I DON'T HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY SOME PHOTOS STAY IN THERE BUT I CERTAINLY AM NOT AS EFFICIENT AT CATALOGING AND STORING INFORMATION AS MY COMPUTER IS

THAT'S FOR SURE AND TO CREATE OUR HARVEST GROUP IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY SIMPLE PROCESS I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR CLIENTS TO KEEP UP WITH THAT BUT WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH A LITTLE DEMONSTRATION OF KIND OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE USING TAGS USING METRIC TAGS IF YOU DON'T IF YOU'RE NOT IN A METRIC STATE OR YOU'RE NOT USING THE METRIC VERSION OF OUR SOFTWARE THAT'S OKAY MUCH OF THIS PROCESS IS STILL THE SAME SO WHEN WE GO TO START CREATING A HARVEST GROUP WE'RE GOING TO PICK OUR RECIPE

GO AHEAD

THEN PICK EACH ROOM AND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW ARROYA TO DO IS KNOW WHERE TO PULL SENSOR DATA FOR A SPECIFIC PLANT OR SET OF PLANTS PICK OUR FLOWER ROOM AND THEN ALTHOUGH IDEALLY FOLLOW IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH DRY BECAUSE THE OTHER THING WE'RE GOING TO CAPTURE IN HERE IS HOPEFULLY IF YOU KNOW WE'RE STAYING ON TOP OF IT ANY CHANGES FROM THE STANDARD RECIPE IN TERMS OF TASK TIMING UH HOW LONG WE'RE YOU KNOW DRYING FOR ANY KIND OF SMALL CHANGE WE CAN RECORD THAT AS WELL AND HAVE IT FOR THE FUTURE SO NOW WHAT I'M DOING IN HERE IS I'M JUST GOING TO GRAB OR SCAN THE MOM TAG GO AHEAD AND GRAB A PLANT TAG FOR MY CLONE LOT

AND GO AHEAD AND CREATE SOME CLONES

NOW I'LL GO TO PLAN ROOMS IN THIS CASE I'M GOING TO MONO CROP THIS ROOM SO UH PROBABLY DOESN'T MATTER

AND FOR THE FLOWER ROOM I'LL ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND IN THIS CASE PICK MULTIPLE ZONES BECAUSE EACH OF THESE ZONES IS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME CULTIVAR IN IT GO AHEAD PICK OUR DRY ROOM AND THEN HIT REVIEW AND FINISH AND NOW WE'VE CREATED A RECORD AND REPOSITORY IN ORDER TO FIND ALL THAT DATA IN THE FUTURE AND THEN YOU KNOW WE CAN CHANGE THE NAME YOU CAN SAY INSTEAD OF F2 825 THAT'S JUST GENERATING FOR FLOWER TWO AND A DATE RANGE THAT COULD BE RUN NUMBER 22 FOR YOU THAT COULD BE YOU KNOW CROP HARVEST ANY ANY NAME YOU WANT BUT ONCE IT'S CREATED YOU'VE KICKED OFF YOUR RECIPE AND NOW ALL OF THE TASKS THAT YOU PUT INTO THE RECIPE ALL OF YOUR PARAMETERS WILL BE REPRESENTED AS THIS HARVEST GROUP SCHEDULE AND AS YOU MOVE ALONG IT'S GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY START POPULATING YOUR TASKS IN THE JOURNAL

AND THEN ROLL OUT YOUR LIGHT SCHEDULE AND THE TARGET RANGES THAT YOU ESTABLISHED IN YOUR RECIPE UM I FIND THAT MOST GROWERS

MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR EVOLUTION AS A GROWER MUCH MORE QUICKLY ONCE THEY REALLY START IMPLEMENTING YOU KNOW A COMPREHENSIVE CROP REGISTRATION SYSTEM THAT'S EASY TO USE YOU KNOW IF WE'RE NOT TRACKING AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN WE'VE GOT BLIND SPOTS IN OUR SYSTEM AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT YEAH IT'S ALL ABOUT REDUCING ALL OF THOSE UH YOU KNOW DIALING IN ON ALL OF YOUR VARIABLES AND UH YEAH THIS SOUNDS GREAT SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT YOU'VE SEEN CLIENTS UH FACING WHEN SETTING UP THESE LIKE HARVEST GROUPS AND KIND OF GETTING SET UP IN THE BEGINNING UM WELL ONE THING THAT IS TEMPTING IS TO ACTUALLY GO INTO THE ROOM DASHBOARD AND SET YOUR PARAMETERS HERE SO IF I WANT TO SET MY TARGET RANGES I CAN DO THAT IN THIS ROOM IN THIS PAGE BUT WHAT IF I DO IT ON THIS DASHBOARD I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO RESET THOSE TARGET RANGES EVERY TIME THAT YOU KNOW WE CROSS THAT POINT SO FOR SWITCHING FROM GENERATIVE TO VEGETATIVE OUR WATER CONTENT CHANGES OUR EC GOALS CHANGE I WOULD HAVE TO GO IN AND MANUALLY DO THIS WHEN I SET UP THIS RECIPE WHICH IS OUR WE HAVE SOME PRE-BUILT ONES BUT OBVIOUSLY WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO FILL IT OUT AND REALLY BUILD OUT WHAT YOUR OWN RECIPE LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT IT IS IS JUST A WORKFLOW IT'S A CALENDAR THAT YOU CAN APPLY TO ANY HARVEST GROUP YOU WANT AND

WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT ONE OF THESE EXAMPLES HERE

SO IF WE GO IN WE'VE GOT A PROP PHASE CLONE 14 DAYS I COULD SET A LIGHT SCHEDULER TARGETS I HAVE NOT FOR THAT ONE VEGETATIVE WE'VE GOT THAT VEGETATIVE PHASE THAT'S GOING TO TELL AROYA WHERE TO PULL SENSOR DATA FROM VEG FOR THAT TIME RANGE WHILE IT'S THERE AND WE CAN ALSO ADD OUR TARGET RANGES WHEN WE GET INTO FLOWER THIS IS WHERE UM A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THESE TARGET RANGES BECAUSE IT'S DYNAMIC YOU KNOW WE HAVE MULTIPLE CHANGES FOR EACH OF THESE PARAMETERS THROUGHOUT THE RUN SO WHAT I CAN DO IS SAY OKAY IN EARLY FLOWER GENERATIVE RUN IN ROCKWOOL WE'LL GO

THE 20 DRYBACK ON THIS ONE AND THEN HERE IS ACTUALLY ONE THING UM WHERE ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD MUCH FORMAL TRAINING WITH THE SOFTWARE TEND TO KIND OF SLIP UP A LITTLE BIT OR I SHOULD I SAY STUMBLE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ANNOYANCE UM IF YOU CHECK THIS BOX HERE THAT'S JUST GOING TO SEND YOU AN ALERT WHEN IT GOES OUTSIDE OF THESE PARAMETERS WHAT I LIKE TO DO AND FIND TO BE THE MOST BENEFICIAL FOR GROWERS IS FOR EVERY TARGET RANGE I SET I LOOK AT THE TARGET RANGE AS MY ANALYTICAL TARGET RANGE WHAT DO I WANT TO YOU KNOW ACCOMPLISH IDEALLY AND THEN I ALSO KNOW YOU KNOW LOOKING AT MY GRAPHS WHAT MY FACILITY CAN ACCOMPLISH

LET'S SAY THAT I'M YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT WORRIED THAT MY IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS PLUGGING UP LATELY WELL I DON'T WANT TO GET AN ALERT AT FOUR IN THE MORNING IF IT GOES DOWN TO 44 AND I WAS SHOOTING FOR 45. I CAN CORRECT THAT THE NEXT DAY WITH MY FEED SCHEDULE THAT'S JUST GOING TO GET ME IN THE BAD HABIT OF ANNOYING SOME OF THOSE ALERTS BUT IF I GO DOWN HERE AND SAY OKAY LET'S JUST SET THIS AT 39. THAT IS SIX PERCENT BELOW WHERE MY GOAL WAS THAT'S FAR ENOUGH FOR ME TO CONSIDER THAT YOU KNOW MAYBE I'VE GOT AN HVAC PROBLEM MAYBE I'VE GOT AN IRRIGATION PROBLEM MAYBE A LOT YOU KNOW THAT LAST P2 DIDN'T FIRE OFF BECAUSE THE SOLENOID FAILED THAT'S AN ACTION ITEM ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE IS TEMPERATURE YOU KNOW PLANTS ARE REALLY HAPPY IF WE CAN HOLD THAT 80 TO 82 AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO A LITTLE HIGHER UP TO 85 SURE THERE'S NO DOUBT THERE BUT YOU KNOW IF I SET THAT ALERT ON BECAUSE LET'S SAY I WANT TO KNOW IF I GO OUT OF THAT RANGE TOO FAR OR IF YOU KNOW MY HEATER BREAKS OR WELL WE'RE AT THE END OF SUMMER HERE IN EASTERN WASHINGTON NOW IF MY AC UNIT BREAKS I WANT TO KNOW BUT LET'S SEE IN MY CASE AND A LOT OF GROWERS OUT THERE WHO ARE IN SOME RETROFITTED FACILITIES YOU KNOW IF YOUR INSULATION'S NOT ON POINT YOU'VE GOT SOME LEAKS SOME DRAFTS YOU'VE GOT JUST EFFICIENCY ISSUES IN THE BUILDING OR EQUIPMENT BROKE LET'S SAY YOU KNOW THAT ALL RIGHT TYPICALLY WE CAN MAINTAIN NOT 80 TO 82 BUT 75 TO 84. YOU KNOW THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD RANGE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP IT IN ALL DAY THAT'S NOT IDEAL UM BUT AS A GROWER I'M AWARE OF IT AND I JUST DON'T WANT MY PHONE GETTING TEXT YOU KNOW EVERY 30 MINUTES AS WE CROSS THESE THRESHOLDS UP AND DOWN SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS GO IN AND SAY ALRIGHTY SINCE I KNOW IT'S NOT HOLDING THOSE TWO DEGREES I'M GOING TO SET MY ALERT MAX FOR 90 BECAUSE THAT TELLS ME FOR SURE THAT MY AC IS BROKEN

AND THEN MY MINIMUM I'LL SAY ABOUT 70 BECAUSE AROUND HERE IN THE WINTER TIME IN MY GROW ROOM THAT WOULD MEAN THAT AT THIS PART OF THE PHASE EARLY FLOWER GENERATIVE MY MY HEATER WENT OUT AND I NEED TO FIX THAT TOO

AND THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THAT WE'LL HIT APPLY CHANGES AND YOU CAN ADD THESE RANGES FOR YOU KNOW ANY PARAMETER YOU WANT THAT WE MEASURE I WILL SAY UM I ALWAYS WARN PEOPLE ON THE ALERTS YOU KNOW PICK PICK ACTION ITEMS SO YOU KNOW IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EC FOR INSTANCE I DO HAVE AN ANALYTICAL TARGET RANGE FOR EC DEPENDING ON THE PHASE LET'S SAY RIGHT NOW I'M IN THE UH

RELOAD THERE LET'S JUST SAY WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A PRETTY WIDE RANGE I'M NOT GOING TO SET UP AN ALERT FOR EC I'M GOING TO WATCH THAT EVERY DAY BUT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IF I OVER DRY TWO PERCENT COMPARED TO WHERE I DID YESTERDAY I COULD GET A PRETTY BIG RESPONSE IN TERMS OF EC ON THE GRAPH AND I KNOW THAT THAT ONE OVER SLIGHT OVER DRYING IS MAYBE NOT GOING TO HURT THE PLANT TERRIBLY BUT AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO SET IT UP SO I'M GETTING SO MANY ALERTS THAT I JUST START TO IGNORE IT YEAH I COULD DEFINITELY SEE THAT BUT IT'S REALLY GIVING YOU THAT VISIBILITY UM THAT YOU'VE BEEN NEEDING AS A GROWER AND THEN AND THEN THE CONTROL WITH EVERYTHING TOO SO AND IT'S JUST YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S A WHOLE HOST OF TOOLS IN HERE AND I DEFINITELY FIND FOR ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE SMALLER AND MID-SIZED GROWERS THAT HAVE A LIMITED STAFF AND YOU KNOW EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S ONLY 24 HOURS A DAY AND YOU GOT TO SLEEP SOMETIME THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING IS YOU KNOW GOING IN AND SETTING UP THIS INITIAL RECIPE AND GETTING ALL OF THEIR TASKS INTO IT AND ONE THING I FIND TOO IS LIKE YOU KNOW THE FIRST TIME I SET UP A RECIPE I PROBABLY GOT ABOUT FIFTY SIXTY PERCENT OF MY TASKS IN THERE BECAUSE THERE WAS A WHOLE SUITE OF TASKS THAT I DO THAT I'D I'VE DONE IT ENOUGH TIMES I DON'T REALLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT MY SCHEDULING ON SOME OF THE SOME OF THOSE THINGS OR JUST YOU KNOW LITTLE MAINTENANCE ITEMS THAT YOU DO EVERY DAY OR EVERY WEEK THAT YOU'VE JUST ALWAYS DONE YOU HAVEN'T NECESSARILY I KNOW IN MY CASE I HADN'T WRITTEN IT OUT FOR SOMEONE BEFORE I JUST YOU KNOW WROTE IT ON A CALENDAR ONCE OR TWICE SO ONE THING YOU CAN DO IN THAT CASE IS GO INTO YOUR HARVEST GROUP AS IT'S MOVING ALONG SO CURRENTLY GROWING

AND I CAN HOP INTO LET'S SAY THIS WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH THIS RUN HERE I CAN HOP IN THERE AND GO OKAY I ACTUALLY MADE SOME CHANGES ON WHEN I FLIPPED FROM VEG TO GEN ON THESE STRAINS OR WHEN I TIMES CERTAIN TASKS I CAN GO INTO THE SCHEDULE RECORD THOSE CHANGES BY CHANGING THE SCHEDULE AND SAVE IT BUT ONE COOL THING IS IF YOU HAVE LIKE LET'S SAY A BASE RECIPE AND YOU MADE A SLIGHT TWEAK ONE RUN YOU'RE LIKE WOW THAT REALLY SEEMED TO BE THE KEY YOU KNOW THAT TOOK US TO THE NEXT LEVEL I CAN GO AHEAD AND SAVE THIS SCHEDULE AS A RECIPE I DON'T HAVE TO GO IN AND REBUILD A SCHEDULE BECAUSE LET'S SAY YOU'VE GOT YOU KNOW BY THE TIME YOU'VE GOT ALL OF YOUR TARGETS AND ALERTS IN THERE YOUR LIGHT SCHEDULE AND LET'S SAY YOU KNOW EVERY SINGLE TASK YOU HAD TO DO FOR A WHOLE RUN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE QUITE A BIT OF TIME IN HERE AS FAR AS PUTTING STUFF PUTTING IN TASKS AND ALERTS SO YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO RE-RECREATE THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO COPY AND MODIFY IT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE

THIS IS AWESOME COOL YEAH UM DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT MANDY I MEAN WE CAN KIND OF GET A LITTLE DEEPER INTO IT THAT'S ABOUT THAT'S A REALLY GOOD OVERVIEW THOUGH OF JUST IT'S A THE HARVEST GROUPS ARE A PLACE TO COMPILE YOUR DATA BRING EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND VIEW IT IN THE FUTURE AND THAT INCLUDES YOUR YIELDS TOO AFTER YOU UH ARE IN YOUR HARVEST AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR HARVEST GROUPS GOING IF YOU ARE IN THE NON-METRIC VERSION OF AROYA YOU WILL HAVE A YIELDS TAB RIGHT HERE IN THE METRIC INTEGRATED VERSION WE HAVE INVENTORY BUT THE COOL THING IS ONCE YOU START TO POPULATE YOUR WEIGHTS WHICH IF YOUR METRIC INTEGRATED THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AS LONG AS YOU USE THE HARVESTING AND DRYING FLOWS BUT ONCE THAT WEIGHT'S POPULATED NOW WE CAN LOOK BACK AND START COMPARING SIDE BY SIDE RUNS LIKE HOW WHAT WERE THEY LIKE FOR WEIGHT WHAT STRAINS WERE IN THERE WHAT RECIPE DID WE RUN AND START LOOKING AT YOU KNOW START COMPARING EVERYTHING IN KIND OF A HOLISTIC WAY RATHER THAN JUST SAYING OH WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT YIELD AND NOW IT TAKES US 10 MINUTES TO DIG UP THIS OTHER DATA THAT WE NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TO MAKE A CHOICE IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE IF I SEE ONE I LIKE I CAN JUST GO AHEAD CLICK INTO IT THAT'S GOING TO TAKE ME BACK TO THE HARVEST GROUP ENVIRONMENT PAGE AND TELL ME HOW MANY OF EACH PLAN I HAVE AND WHAT MY DATA LOOKED LIKE

YEAH THIS IS GREAT NO THIS IS AWESOME I THINK IT WAS JUST A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF OF HARVEST GROUPS FOR ME AND I THINK THAT WE REALLY GOT TO TOUCH ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS FOR SETTING UP UH SETTING UP FOR FIRST TIME USERS AND EVERYTHING SO UM IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU THINK THAT OUR CLIENTS COULD USE UM THAT MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM USE IN HARVEST GROUPS YET OR UH YOU KNOW HONESTLY A BIG ONE IS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE METRIC INTEGRATED VERSION OF AROYA UTILIZING THE YIELDS TAB IN HARVEST GROUPS TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR YIELDS AND I GET THAT BECAUSE IT'S AN EXTRA STEP AND AS AS A PRODUCER YOU'VE ALREADY HAD TO PUT THAT DATA INTO EITHER METRIC OR ANOTHER DATABASE ANYWAYS BUT THAT IS UH THAT'S A BIG ONE THAT PEOPLE SOMEHOW SEEM TO NOT FIND THE TIME TO DO AND LIKE I SAID IT IT SEEMS TO VARY YOU KNOW THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF WORKLOADS THAT ALL OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE FROM YOU KNOW ONLY MANAGEMENT THEY'RE PART-TIME TO DOING ALL OF IT FROM SCRUBBING THE FLOORS TO DOING COMPLIANCE YOU KNOW SO OH YEAH PEOPLE ARE WEARING MINI HATS OUT THERE YEP WELL THIS IS AWESOME AND YEAH I THINK IT'S IT ALL JUST COMES DOWN TO TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE UM THINGS INTO THE PLATFORM AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND STREAMLINING EVERYTHING UM THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU SETH UH WE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT CAME IN THROUGH THE CHATS OVER ON YOUTUBE IN THE MEANTIME SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND POP ON OVER TO THOSE AWESOME OH WE GOT SOME PEOPLE JOINING US AWESOME SO DIANE WROTE IN CAN YOU ASK SETH WHAT'S THE BENEFITS OF CONDENSED MOLASSES UM SO WHAT CAN A BOOST

SO THE 1200 PER 5 GALLON CAN OF BOOST SO LET ME ASK THIS AGAIN I'M SORRY CAN YOU ASK UP WHAT THE BENEFITS OF CONDENSED MOLASSES AND HYDROPONIC AKA COCOA AND PERLITE WOULD BE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS THE 1200 DOLLAR FIVE GALLON CAN OF BOOST YEAH SO MOLASSES PRODUCTS ARE GREAT IN UH YOU KNOW WHAT GROWERS OUT THERE TEND TO CALL LIVING SOIL APPLICATIONS IT'S ALSO SOMETHING YOU WOULD USE IN YOUR OUTDOOR GARDEN WHEN YOU HAVE A REALLY HEALTHY MICROBIAL BIOME GOING ON IN THERE SO IN HYDROPONIC APPLICATIONS UNFORTUNATELY NO THAT'S A BIG WASTE OF MONEY YOU KNOW USUALLY IN OUR GROW ROOMS WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THEM CLEAN IF YOU ARE RUNNING UH I MEAN NUMBER ONE THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA PLUG YOUR EMITTERS UP UH NUMBER TWO IF YOU'RE NOT RUNNING ORGANICS YOU'RE THERE'S REALLY NO POINT AND WE'RE HITTING A POINT NOW IN THE WHEAT INDUSTRY WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE CANNABIS IS GOING TO BECOME MORE LIKE OTHER FOOD COMMODITY NOT FOOD JUST FOOD BUT OTHER YOU KNOW CONSUMABLE COMMODITIES IN GENERAL SO THAT MEANS ORGANIC CERTIFICATION RIGHT HYDROPONICS DOES NOT PASS ORGANIC CERTIFICATION SO IF YOU ARE YOU KNOW ONCE WE HIT A POINT WHERE YOU NEED TO BE CERTIFIED TO CLAIM THAT

WHAT'S THE POINT IN RUNNING THAT MOLASSES IF YOU YOU KNOW CAN'T GET A PREMIUM FOR IT FOR YOUR PRODUCT BECAUSE OF IT SO YEAH YEAH ALL SUPER IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY YEP AND AND JUST YOU KNOW YOUR INJECTIONS OR YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM TYPICALLY RUNNING THINGS LIKE MOLASSES AMINO ACIDS ORGANICS ANYTHING THAT'S UH IF IT LOOKS MURKY AFTER YOU MIX IT UP IT'S GOING TO PLUG YOUR EMITTERS UP THEY ARE NOT THEY WERE NEVER DESIGNED FOR SUPER HIGH LEVELS OF SALINITY OR TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS SO THAT'S JUST A REALITY THAT'S ALSO WHY THEY'RE A CONSUMABLE PIECE YOU KNOW BUT WE ALSO WANT TO GET YOU KNOW A FEW RUNS OUT OF A SET OF EMITTERS RATHER THAN A HALF A ONE OR YOU KNOW I'VE HEARD SOME HORROR STORIES OUT THERE USING VARIOUS ESPECIALLY STUFF THAT HAD BEEN USED YOU KNOW FOR FOR YEARS IN LIKE THE MID 2000S THE 90S NOW IT JUST IT'S TOO DIRTY FOR THESE PRECISION IRRIGATION SYSTEMS THERE'S A BETTER WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT LIKE THAT ANYMORE YEAH THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT TOO YOU KNOW ORGANICS ARE GREAT BUT IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT BALL GAME THAN MOST OF OUR INDOOR GROWERS ARE PLAYING SURE UM AWESOME I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT ANSWER FOR THAT UM DIANE THANKS FOR WRITING IN UH WE DID HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION THAT CAME IN UH OVER THE WEEKEND OVER ON TICK TOCK UM SETH DO YOU HAVE ANY JUST LIKE TIPS OFFHAND FOR PEST MANAGEMENT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE COULD DO TODAY TO DEAL WITH SPIDER MITES JUST QUICK TIPS IT MIGHT NOT BE THE EXACT SOLUTION PEOPLE NEED BUT WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN PEOPLE USE OUT IN THE FIELDS OH EVERYTHING FROM HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO ALCOHOL TO AZOMAX BOTANA GUARD AGAIN I MEAN WE CAN GO DOWN THE LIST OF PESTICIDES UH IF YOU'VE GOT SPIDER MITES I MEAN IT DEPENDS ARE WE TALKING ONE BUT USUALLY MY SOLUTION IS GOING TO BE TO TRASH THE ROOM AND I MEAN DEPENDING ON HOW BAD THEY ARE RIGHT DO WE HAVE A SMALL INFESTATION IS IT TO THE POINT WHERE WE THINK IT'S GOING TO RUIN THE CROP SO ONE THING YOU CAN DO TODAY TRY THE H2O2 SPRAY TRY THE ALCOHOL SPRAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS IF YOU'RE IN EARLY FLOWER YOU KNOW THOSE FIRST TWO TO THREE WEEKS YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SPRAYING SOME DIFFERENT PYRETHRINS TO DEAL WITH IT BUYING SOME BUG BOMBS BUT YOU'VE ALSO GOT TO LOOK AT OKAY THERE IS A CUT-OFF POINT WHEN I SHOULD NOT BE SPRAYING FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT TO BE SPRAYING I DON'T WANT TO FAIL A PESTICIDES TEST SO THEREFORE I'M NOT GOING TO BE USING PYRETHRINS LATE I'M NOT GOING TO USE AZOMAGS AND IN LATE FLOWER ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO MOLD YOUR CROP OUT IS TO GET YOUR BUDS WET SO THAT'S WHY UH I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT YOU'RE SPRAYING IF YOU'RE SPRAYING FOR POWDERY MILDEW THAT THAT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO KILL IT IT'LL KILL A LITTLE BIT THEN IT'LL JUST GROW RIGHT BACK AFTER THE HALF-LIFE OF THAT PESTICIDE IS GONE SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPIDER MITES WHAT YOU CAN DO THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IF YOU'VE GOT THEM CLEAN OUT YOUR FACILITY YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE SMALL BUT JUST BE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE GET THEM OUT OF THERE AND THEN YOU KNOW LOOK FOR THE HOLES IN YOUR CURRENT OPERATIONS LIKE OKAY UH WE JUST KEEP DEALING WITH THESE I CAN'T SEEM TO GET THEM OUT OF THE FACILITY IT'S LIKE OKAY WELL DO ARE THEY LIVING ON YOUR MOMS YOU KNOW FIND THAT REPOSITORY WHERE THEY SURVIVE IN BETWEEN CLEAN DOWNS AND TRY TO WORK ON THAT OTHERWISE YEAH IF YOU'VE GOT THEM THE OTHER THING YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO IS UH DIP CUTTINGS AND BLEACH THERE'S OTHER PRODUCTS TOO IF YOU BRING THEM IN DON'T BRING IN PLANTS THAT HAVE MEDIA ATTACHED TO THEM INTO YOUR FACILITY SO IF YOU'RE BRINGING IN NEW GENETICS DO NOT GET GENETICS OR DO NOT GET TEEN PLANTS THAT ARE ALREADY ROOTED OUT OR IF YOU DO BE PREPARED TO DO A DRENCHED YOU KNOW BASICALLY A DUNK IN A DRENCHED SOLUTION TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT BRINGING IN BUGS I MEAN THAT'S THE THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF ALL THOSE BUGS IS LETTING THEM IN AND UNFORTUNATELY CANNABIS IS JUST AS HAS ALL THE SAME PATHS AS PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER PRODUCT WE GROW SO THEY'RE THEY'RE OUT THERE THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AH THEY'RE SO ANNOYING AREN'T THEY YEAH IS THERE LIKE A LIKE THEY'RE DEFINITELY AVAILABLE A LOT IN THE SUMMER BUT DO THEY EVER JUST END UP LIKE GOING AWAY LIKE IN THE WINTER ARE THEY NOT AROUND DURING CERTAIN MONTHS UH SPIDER MITES TYPICALLY ONCE YOU'VE GOT THEM IN A FACILITY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK PRETTY HARD TO GET THEM OUT BUT YEAH DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION LIKE SPIDER MITES GREEN PJ FEDS IS A HUGE ONE THOSE ARE JUST A COMMON AGRICULTURAL PEST EVERYWHERE SO LIKE HERE LIKE HERE ON THE PALOUSE WE'VE GOT YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE GROWING HERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE EITHER IN A GREENHOUSE OR A BUILDING BUT SURROUNDED BY WHEAT FIELDS IF THERE'S NOT A BUILDING OR A HOUSE ON IT WHICH THERE AREN'T THAT MANY OF THOSE IT'S PLANTED IN WHEAT OKAY WELL LOTS OF GREEN PEACH FOR THE SAME THERE'S PEAS GARBANZO BEANS SO YOU'D THINK LIKE OH WE'RE OUT OF TOWN WE DON'T HAVE YOU KNOW MAYBE AS MANY PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH BUT EVERY TIME THEY SPRAY THOSE BIG FIELDS OUTDOORS IT DOESN'T JUST KILL THE BUGS A LOT OF THEM TRY TO ESCAPE AND WHERE DO THEY GO THE ONLY ISLAND OF GREEN FOOD THAT THEY CAN CRAWL TO

AH YOU REALLY JUST HAVE TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU GET THEM HUH THAT'S ANNOYING YEAH THERE'S NO SHORTCUTS WOW THAT IS NO NO SHORTCUT NO SHORTCUTS SORRY I GET SOME TIED UM WE GOT SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMMENTING OVER ON YOUTUBE CLEAN OUT YOUR EQUIPMENT TOO UM THAT MIGHT BE FROM EARLIER UM THIS IS A QUESTION YOU MIGHT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS SETH ANYTHING ON O-R-P OR YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ORGANIC ANYTHING ON OR O-R-P GREG IF YOU UM CAN GIVE US ANY MORE CONTEXT ON WHAT ORP MEANS UH I'LL MAKE SURE I ASK THAT QUESTION

YEAH I'M SORRY NO NO I'M NOT BIG ON ACRONYMS TODAY NO I DON'T KNOW THERE'S TOO MANY ACRONYMS OUT THERE YOU GUYS UM WELTON HUSKY BILBO DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR TODAY'S SHOW IT'S A LITTLE QUIET IN THE CHATS COME ON YOU GUYS YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO MAKE ME KEEP TALKING ABOUT PEST MANAGEMENT DON'T MAKE ME DO IT SETH WHAT ARE SOME UPDATES THAT WE HAVE UM DO WE HAVE ANY UPDATES IN THE PLATFORM OR ANYTHING THAT UM YEAH SO WE A FEW WEEKS AGO DROPPED OUR UH NEW MOBILE APP THAT RECENTLY HAD ANOTHER UPDATE I BELIEVE TODAY OR YESTERDAY AND THEN WE ARE QA TESTING OPEN SPRINKLERS SO THAT'S FINALLY GETTING CLOSE I AM VERY EXCITED TO SET IT UP AND HAVE A FANCY WATERING SYSTEM AT HOME I HAVE HEARD SO MANY PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT THAT IN OFFICE HOURS SO I KNOW EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITED FOR WHEN THAT DROPS OH MY GOSH YEAH WELL I NEED TO SEE THAT OPEN SPRINKLER I KNOW I KNOW I CANNOT WAIT I FEEL THE SAME WAY I WON'T BELIEVE IT TILL I SEE IT BUT IT'S COMING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN I'M I'M HOPEFUL AND I'VE SEEN I'VE SEEN THE UNIT I'VE SEEN THE DASHBOARD IT'S IT EXISTS WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S YOU KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IRRIGATION CONTROL THAT'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE FAIL IN ANY EVENT YOU KNOW SO PART OF WHAT WE'VE DONE IS INSTEAD OF HAVING A UNIT THAT UH LIKE FOR INSTANCE YOUR YOUR OPEN SPRINKLER NOW ONCE YOU CONNECT IT TO AROYA WILL NOT NEED INTERNET ACCESS YOU WON'T NEED TO PORT FORWARD IT IT'S GOING TO BE CONNECT TALKING TO YOUR GATEWAY THROUGH YOUR LOCAL AREA NETWORK AND THEN YOUR IRRIGATION SCHEDULE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GET PUSHED FROM THE GATEWAY TO THE OPEN SPRINKLER DEVICE AND STORED THERE SO IF THERE WAS EVER ANY REASON THAT YOU LOST INTERNET YOUR PLANTS ARE STILL GOING TO GET WATERED IF YOUR GATEWAY GOES DOWN BUT YOUR OPEN SPRINKLER STILL HAS POWER YOUR PLANTS ARE GETTING WATERED SO WE JUST WANT TO YOU KNOW REALLY MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT ALL THE HOLES COVERED IN THE SOFTWARE AND UH MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GONNA FAIL OH YEAH BUT THAT'S SUPER EXCITING OH MY GOSH WOW UM AWESOME WE HAD ANOTHER QUESTION COME IN OVER ON YOUTUBE SO UM DIANE WROTE IN AGAIN WHAT MINERAL SHOULD I UM WHAT MINUTE WHOA MAN SORRY I AM MY EYES ARE REALLY BAD RIGHT NOW OKAY SO FIRST QUESTION CAN YOU TALK ABOUT LST DURING BULKING AND STRETCH SORRY ANOTHER ACRONYM FOR YOU SO YEAH NO THAT ONE I I KNOW VERY WELL LOW STRESS TRAINING UM IT'S GREAT FOR A HOME GROWER IF YOU'RE DOING IT ON A COMMERCIAL APPLICATION YOU NEED TO ADJUST HOW BIG YOUR PLANTS ARE WHEN YOU FLIP THEM YOUR TOPPING TECHNIQUES EARLIER ON IN VEG AND EXPLORE WHY YOUR PLANTS ARE GETTING TOO TALL BECAUSE IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY TO PAY PEOPLE TO GO IN THERE AND TUCK BRANCHES UNDER A SCREEN YOU KNOW TYPICALLY DURING EARLY FLOWER STRETCH WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS GET MY PLANTS IN SET MY TRELLIS UP USUALLY TWO LAYERS AND THEN LET THE PLANTS GROW UP INTO THAT I WANT TO DO AS LITTLE TOUCHING AND TRAINING AS POSSIBLE JUST BECAUSE IT'S A LABOR JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A LABOR ASPECT TO IT ON THE FLIP SIDE YOU KNOW FOR MY OWN PERSONAL FUN I LOVE LOW STRESS TRAINING I USE TWIST TUMS AND TIE MY BRANCHES DOWN TO THE POT GET WEIRD WITH IT YOU KNOW HAVE FUN ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GROWING YOU KNOW IN A LIKE AN OVERHEAD SPACE OR A LIMITED OVERHEAD SPACE YOU KNOW THERE ARE THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT DOES COME INTO PLAY IF WE'RE DOUBLE STACKED IN A ROOM LET'S SAY AND WE'VE GOT A PLANT COUNT SO WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THOSE PLANTS LOW BUT WE CAN'T INCREASE OUR YIELDS BY UPPING DENSITY BECAUSE WE'RE INTO A PLANT COUNT SITUATION THAT'S WHERE WE MIGHT START SAYING OKAY WE DO WANT TO START TRYING TO TRAIN THESE PLANTS BUT EVERYTHING YOU KNOW HAS UH THERE'S POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES RIGHT IF I ALSO I MEAN HARVEST I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET TO WITH LOW STRESS TRAINING IF I'VE GOT A PLANT TOTALLY SCROGGED OUT WHICH JUST MEANS SCREEN OF GREEN YOU'RE TUCKING THE BRANCHES INTO A GRID UM THAT'S REALLY HARD TO HARVEST YOU KNOW YOU YOU HIT A POINT WHERE YOU SUDDENLY YOU'RE HANGING PLANTS AND BRANCHES AND YOU'RE JUST CUTTING THE TRELLIS TO GET IT OUT OF THERE AND UH IF YOU'VE EVER WHICH A LOT OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE I'M SURE I'M TAKING DOWN A HARVEST WHERE YOU PUT LIKE AN EXTRA LAYER OR TWO OF TRELLIS ON THERE SUDDENLY YOU GOT A NIGHTMARE TRYING TO CHOP UP BRANCHES AND FISH THEM OUT OF THERE AND THEN COMPOUND THAT WITH BEING IN LET'S SAY I MEAN MOST OF MY COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION EXPERIENCE WAS IN WASHINGTON WE DID NOT HAVE TO DO INDIVIDUAL PLANT WEIGHTS WE COULD DO AVERAGES AND TOTAL STRAIN WEIGHTS WEIGHT IN A BIN RIGHT MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN YOU KNOW METRIC STATES ARE HAVING TO WEIGH PLANTS INDIVIDUALLY THINK ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF GETTING IT OUT OF THERE WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT CONNECTED INTO OR NOT CONNECTED BUT WOVEN THROUGH SO MANY NETS SO NOT ONLY ARE YOU YOU KNOW LOSING LABOR MONEY IN GOING OUT THERE BENDING BRANCHES UNDER UM YOU'RE ALSO LOSING MONEY BECAUSE YOUR HARVEST IS GOING TO TAKE TWO TO THREE TIMES AS LONG

YEAH YEAH WHEN YOU SAY IT THAT WAY I WAS LIKE YEAH IT'S A LOT OF WORK UM AWESOME DIANE ALSO HAD A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION TOO SO NITROGEN OR CALCIUM WHAT MINERAL SHOULD I USE IN STRETCH AND WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THE RATIO BE SORRY CAN YOU REPEAT THAT I LOOKED AT THE POP-UPS SO UM SO IN STRETCH WHAT WHICH DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT HE USE NITROGEN OR CALCIUM AND WHAT RATIO RATIO OF NITROGEN TO CALCIUM GENERALLY SPEAKING I WOULD USE CALCIUM NITRATE AS MY NITROGEN SOURCE DURING STRETCH AND THEN REALLY BACK OFF ON IT

I DON'T KNOW CALCIUM NITRATES WONDERFUL STUFF I GUESS IT'S THE BEST WAY TO PUT THAT THERE WE GO SHORT AND SWEET UM AWESOME YOU GUYS IN THE CHATS UH WELTON BACK TO OPENSPRINKLER CAN WE GET A DEMO SNEAK PEEK I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GIVE A DEMO OF THAT RIGHT NOW BUT UM BUT YEAH SETH SETH COVERED SOME OF THE BENEFITS DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ONES WE CAN MENTION YEAH I DON'T HAVE A DASHBOARD I CAN SHOW RIGHT NOW BUT HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER JASON AND I'LL BE ON HERE UH DEMONSTRATING HOW TO SET THAT UP EXCITING UM HUSKY RHODEN HUSKY DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOURSELF OFF MUTINOUS SIR

I CAN DEFINITELY ASK FOR YOU I CAN ASK FOR YOU SO HUSKY WANTS TO KNOW HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT UNDER CANOPY LIGHTING UM YOU KNOW I THINK THERE IS SOME BENEFIT TO IT THAT BEING SAID I'VE NEVER LOOKED INTO ANY RESEARCH INTO HOW MUCH OF THAT LIGHT ACTUALLY YOU KNOW HELPS WITH PHOTOSYNTHESIS SO ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT PLANTS ARE HIGHLY EVOLVED TO TAKE IN LIGHT FROM ABOVE SO THAT'S WHERE MOST OF OUR PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVITY IS HAPPENING THAT BEING SAID LIGHT STILL CAN GET THROUGH TO THOSE CHLOROPLASTS FROM THE BOTTOM IT'S JUST NOT AS EFFICIENT PERSONALLY I WOULD NOT IMPLEMENT SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON A COMMERCIAL SCALE JUST DUE TO THE COST AND THE FACT THAT UM EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU BUY HAS AN EOL AN END OF LIFE EXPECTANCY AND THE MORE EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE TIME THE MORE EXPENSIVE YOUR FACILITY IS GOING TO BE TO RUN

USUALLY COMES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM LINE YOU GUYS AWESOME BILBO DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ASK SETH YOUR QUESTION IT LOOKS LIKE A DISCUSSION

SURE HEY SETH HEY HEY MANDY I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT UH SUBSTRATE THAT IS 0.35 HIGH C'S 0.35 USG HIGH CEC AND WE'RE STEERING IN IT BUT THE PLANTS SEEM REALLY REALLY HUNGRY AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S A THREE PERCENT SHOT SIZE IT'S REASONABLE TO DO IS DOUBLE IT TO A SIXTH AND ACTUALLY GET SOME PEAKS AT THE END OF EACH IRRIGATION RIGHT NOW THEY LOOK MORE LIKE A BUNCH OF TURTLES STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS YES YEAH I WOULD DOUBLE THAT UP UM HOW BIG OF A PLANT ARE YOU PLANNING ON FINISHING IN THAT TINY OF A POT

UM WELL THEY WENT INTO FLOWER AT 40 CENTIMETERS ROUGHLY SOME WERE PROBABLY 45 48. OKAY AND WE'RE FOUR DAYS IN SO I ESTIMATE THEY'LL FINISH AT ABOUT A METER MAYBE A METER AND A HALF OKAY WELL NOT A METER AND A HALF YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING A LOT OF WATER ON THOSE AS THEY OH WE'RE VERY WELL PREPARED FOR THAT OKAY IT'S GOING TO BE FINISHING IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT RIGHT AT THE END JUST BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE A VERY BIG GAS TANK TO DRIVE YOUR CAR WITH BASICALLY YES BUT WE'RE ON DOSERS AND WE HAVE UH WELL CALCULATED AND ENGINEERED IRRIGATION SUPPLY SO I'M HOPING THAT THAT DOESN'T BRING TRUE WE'LL WE'LL SEE UM YEAH UPPING YOUR SHOP SIZE IS OKAY YOU'RE IN UH YOU'RE IN COCOA RIGHT I MEAN SIX PERCENT'S FINE COCOA USUALLY CAN TAKE UP TO ABOUT A TEN PERCENT SHOP NO IT'S OKAY I WOULD SAY THE MAJORITY OF THE SUBSTRATE IS DOES IT HAVE PERLITE IN THIS COCOA BUT THERE'S ALSO IN THERE SO OH OKAY GOTCHA BUT NO PERLITE

I'M SORRY I LOST YOU FOR A SECOND THERE BILBO

NO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE LOSING A CONNECTION I DON'T KNOW WELL YEAH SUPER LIGHT OKAY UH IF IT'S THE PERLITE I WOULD WATCH IT TO MAKE SURE LIKE IF YOU GO TO SIX PERCENT JUST WATCH TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET ANY RUNOFF BEFORE THE IRRIGATION IS TURNED OFF

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR GRAPH AND YOU'RE MEASURING IT IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO ACHIEVE LET'S SAY WITH THE PERLITE IN THERE 43 VOLUMETRIC WATER CAPAC VOLUMETRIC WATER CONTENT FOR YOUR FIELD CAPACITY BUT YOU'RE SEEING RUNOFF AND WHEN YOU TEST IT YOU'RE ONLY AT 35 PERCENT THAT'S A SIGN THAT YOU'VE GOT YOU KNOW TOO MUCH SHOT GOING ON AT ONCE TOO MUCH WATER TOO FAST

DID YOU SAY TO MONITOR THE ACTUAL IRRIGATION EVENT TO ENSURE THAT RUNOFF IS NOT OCCURRING WHILE THE EVENT IS GOING ON POTENTIALLY YEAH SO THAT'S IF YOUR RUNOFF OCCURS REALLY EARLY LIKE IF YOU SEE RUNOFF VERY EARLY IN YOUR IRRIGATION EVENT THEN YOU GO TEST IT AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING ABOVE LIKE LET'S SAY LIKE I SAID IF YOUR FIELD CAPACITY IS 43 AND YOU'RE HITTING 35 BUT GETTING RUNOFF THAT MEANS THE WATER'S GOING ON TOO FAST WELL WHILE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC RUNOFF IN THIS SUBSTRATE SEEMS TO BE A VARIED ANSWER UH AND IN VOLUME YOU KNOW WE DO GET A QUANTITY OF RUNOFF BECAUSE WE CALCULATE IT TO ATTRIBUTE OUR SUCCESS AND IRRIGATION BUT THERE'S ALSO THE INSTANCE WHERE YOU KNOW I'M NOT TOTALIZING THE IRRIGATION RUNOFF FOR THE ROOM I'M ONLY GETTING SNAPSHOTS AT SPECIFIC PLANS YEAH SO I KNOW WE DO ACHIEVE ENOUGH BUT IT'S A QUESTION OF REALLY IS IT ONE OF THESE LARGE RUNOFF EVENTS THAT YOU WOULD SEE IN SOMETHING WITH A LOW CEC LIKE A ROCKWOOL SO YEAH LIKE IT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RUNOFF I GUESS UM YOU KNOW REALLY THERE'S NOT A HARD FAST RULE ABOUT PERCENTAGES TO RUN UH THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT HONESTLY IS TO HAVE A GRAPH AND GET REALLY USED TO SAYING OKAY I PUT BECAUSE WE CAN TALK MILLILITERS ALL DAY BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU'RE OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM IN TIME TIMED EVENT DURATION SO YOU'RE GONNA GET AN INTUITIVE FIELD AND SAY OKAY I KNOW ABOUT HOW MUCH A ONE MINUTE RUN TIME IS OR A THIRTY SECOND OR A FIFTEEN SECOND OR A TWO OR A FIVE MINUTE AND THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE DIALING THIS SO FOR ME THE EASIEST WAY TO GET A HANDLE ON A NEW SUBSTRATE IS TO APPLY AN IRRIGATION EVENT MEASURE THAT RUNOFF SURE REALLY THOUGH LOOK AT HOW MUCH DROP IN EC WE HAVE AND SEE IF THAT WAS TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE IF WE'RE PUSHING TOO MUCH RUNOFF YOUR EC AND THE SUBSTRATE IS JUST GOING TO BOTTOM OUT AT WHATEVER YOUR FEED EC IS MAYBE A LITTLE LOWER AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO AVOID BUT YOU DO WANT TO PUSH A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUNOFF EVERY DAY AND DRAIN THE WASTE JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT AN ACCUMULATION OF POSITIVE IONS IN THERE THAT ARE GOING TO DRIVE THE PH DOWN AND ALSO WE ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE A GOOD BALANCE OF PLANT FOOD IN THERE IF WE HAVE IF THE PLANTS TAKEN OUT ALL THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE OUT AND EAT EVERYTHING LEFT BEHIND IS JUST NOT NOT REALLY THAT GREAT

DOES THAT ANSWER RIGHT YEAH IF YOU NEED A LITTLE MORE FOR SURE YOU KNOW YEAH I MEAN WE

THE SEAS THE THE THE CEC I SUSPECT IS HAVING AN UH A WILD EFFECT ON HOW OUR EC READINGS LOOK IN THIS SUBSTRATE AND IN GENERAL THE FACILITY IS USING THE SAME SUBSTRATE THROUGHOUT A LITTLE BIT WITH COCOA AND PEAT THAT MIX THOUGH YOU SHOULDN'T UNLESS IT WAS REALLY SALTY TO BEGIN WITH IF IT WASN'T WASHED YOU SHOULDN'T SEE A HIGH CEC LIKE PETE AND COCO ARE BOTH LIKE BELOW ONE IT'S A VERY I MEAN THAT WAS PEAT WAS THE ORIGINAL SOILLESS COMPONENT RIGHT THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL BASE FOR ALL SOILLESS MIXES UNTIL UH PEOPLE DECIDED THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE STRIP MINING PEAT BOGS IN CANADA

YEAH BUT THE ADDITIVES OF THIS MIX THAT WE WALKED INTO AS A GROUP WERE WERE NOT THEY WERE SALTY FOR SURE AND IT WAS UNWASHED SO I MEAN IT'S DYNAMIC IT'S WORKING DOES IT HAVE A LIKE A MINERAL CONTENT THAT THEY TRIED TO MIX IN OH YEAH OKAY GOTCHA SO YEAH THOSE ARE PROBABLY ISSUES YOU'RE DEALING WITH AND YOU MIGHT BE RUNNING YOU KNOW AS A RESULT A LITTLE LOWER FEED EC AND PUSHING A LITTLE MORE RUNOFF JUST TO UH TRY TO FLUSH THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT

SEE THE LAST RUN THAT WE DID IN THIS WE THERE WAS A MASSIVE UNTIMELY EVENT WHERE IT WAS HYPER FOCUSED ON THE HIGH CEC IN THE SUBSTRATE SO I ENDED UP FLUSHING OUT THE MEDIA FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE A WEEK AND RETARDING THE THE THE WHOLE HARVEST GROUP BY A SUBSTANTIAL LENGTH OF TIME SO THIS TIME WE'VE GONE INTO SMALLER UH SUBSTRATE SIZE AND THEN NOT DONE THAT WHOLE PHASE OF FLUSHING OUT THE SUBSTRATE SO GOTCHA I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE TAKING IN SLIGHTLY LARGER SHOTS MAY GET ME BACK IN THAT MORE IN MORE OF THOSE INVERSIONS THAT WE'RE SO USED TO SEEING IN THE GRAPHS YEP YEP ABSOLUTELY GO FOR IT AND UH YEAH HONESTLY I WOULD PROBABLY GRAVITATE AWAY FROM A MIX LIKE THAT IF I WAS FEEDING SALTS UM THE SOIL MIXES ARE GREAT BUT HONESTLY I I GET GREAT RESULTS WITH STRAIGHT COCO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE YOU KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MORE OF A SOIL THAN A ROCK WOOL SO SO AS A ECONOMIZER BY NATURE UM OUR FACILITY HAS A DELUGE OF IT SO WE'LL BASICALLY BE USING IT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE UNTIL IT'S GONE GOTCHA NO I I KNOW THAT I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS OF HUGOS AND THEN FOUND THAT LIKE WELL WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO WITH THESE THINGS WE'RE GONNA BUY SLABS OR ARE WE GONNA YOU KNOW SO I FEEL YOU UM YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO ADAPT YOU KNOW PROBABLY SWIT MAYBE FLIP SMALLER PLANTS IN THEM IT'S IT'S TOUGH TO SAY IF YOU'RE NOT HAVING A PROBLEM FINISHING WITH THE GENETICS THAT YOU HAVE AND MAINTAINING YOU KNOW GOOD TIGHT NUG STRUCTURE IN THE LAST TWO THREE WEEKS I'D SAY YOU'RE ROCKING IT YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S REALLY NO HARD FAST RULES THAT I COULD SAY YOU SIR ARE GOING TO FAIL BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY DOING OKAY YOU'RE JUST PROBABLY WATERING A LOT AND THAT'S A MORE LOGISTICAL ISSUE SOMETIMES THAN ANYTHING ELSE WE HAVE DEFINITELY TAKEN CARE OF THE LOGISTICAL SPONSOR THEN YOU'RE SOLID AND YEAH I JUST KEEP BLASTING THROUGH THOSE AND PROBABLY AVOID GROWING LIKE ANY ANY TALL STRETCHY STRAINS OR ANYTHING THAT'S ADVERTISED AS LIKE A 10 OR 11 WEEK STRAIN JUST STAY AWAY FROM STUFF THAT'S GOING TO BE FINICKY AND STICK WITH YOU KNOW STUFF THAT'S SHORT AND TOUGH AND YOU'LL BE FINE NO PGR SIR YEAH FOR SURE

OKAY THANKS

THANKS PILLOW IT'S ALWAYS SO GREAT TO SEE YOU UM WE GOT A COUPLE DIFFERENT UH COMMENTS OVER ON YOUTUBE SO FOLLOW UP TO LSC DIANE WANTED TO KNOW DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE ABOUT LST LEAF SURFACE TEMPERATURE THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD YEAH THERE'S SO MANY ACRONYMS 82 DEGREES 80 DEGREES UM BASICALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEMPERATURES WE WANT ITS LEAF SURFACE TEMPERATURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TARGET AND SO ONE THING TO BE DEFINITELY AWARE OF IS LIKE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HPS VERSUS THE SUN VERSUS LED WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF RADIANT ENERGY THAT ARE EMITTED BY ALL OF THOSE SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT SAY AN HPS IF THE ROOM'S 82 THAT LEAF SURFACE TENT MIGHT BE LIKE 86 87. ON AN LED IF THE ROOM'S 82 THAT LEAST SURFACE TEMP MIGHT BE 77 JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TRANSMITTING AS MUCH ENERGY FROM THE LIGHT SOURCE IN THE FORM OF HEAT OR RADIANT HEAT TO THE PLANT SO UH IN TERMS OF LEAF SURFACE TEMP THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO START WHEN IT COMES TO DIALING YOUR HVAC SYSTEM GET A LASER THERMOMETER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A SUPER FANCY ONE AND JUST START TAKING SOME LEAF SURFACE TEMPERATURES YOU KNOW ONCE YOU START SEEING A LEAF GO ABOVE 85 86 THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD SAY YOU'RE YOU'RE STARTING TO PUSH IT A LITTLE HARD YOU MIGHT START SEEING SOME FOX TAILING IN YOUR BUDS LATE FLOWER STRETCH THINGS LIKE THAT

AWESOME THANKS FOR UM CLARIFYING THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE I HADN'T HEARD THAT I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT LOVE STRESS TRAINING IN A WHILE SO I WAS LIKE HUH EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE COMES UP COVERING ALL THE TOPICS TODAY UM ALSO DIANE WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD GIVE HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT PSYCHOMETRIC CHARTS UH HONESTLY NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I'D HAVE TO PULL THOSE UP DO WE HAVE ANY RESOURCES THAT WE RECOMMEND FOR THAT UM PROBABLY START LOOKING TOWARDS SOME OF APOGEE STUFF UH BRUCE BUGBEE IS KIND OF THE LEADING AUTHORITY ON LIGHT IN PLANTS RIGHT NOW SO THAT'S USUALLY WHERE I START WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THAT PERFECT AWESOME WELL THAT IS LIKE THE FINAL QUESTION THAT WE HAVE OVER ON YOUTUBE FOR NOW UM ANYONE ELSE IN THE CHAT DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF OUR SHOW
