ALL RIGHT IT'S THURSDAY AT 4 20 P.M EASTERN THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR OFFICE HOURS AROYA'S WEEKLY SESSION FOR CULTIVATORS WHO WANT TO HEAR FROM THE EXPERTS AND TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING WITH THEIR GROWS MY NAME IS KEISHA I'LL BE MODERATING SOLO TODAY SHOUT OUT TO MANDY WHO'S ON A WELL-DESERVED VACATION AS ALWAYS IF YOU'RE LIVE WITH US UM HERE AND YOU HAVE A QUESTION YOU CAN TYPE IT IN THE CHAT AT ANY TIME YOUR QUEST 2 GETS PICKED WE'LL EITHER HAVE YOU MUTE YOURSELF OR I CAN ASK FOR YOU WE'RE ALSO FIELDING QUESTIONS FROM YOUTUBE LIVE YOU'RE WELCOME TO POST YOUR QUESTIONS THERE DON'T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE TOO UM FIRST TIME QUESTION ASKERS WE'LL GET SWAG AND EVERYONE TODAY UH WHO'S ON WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A LIMITED EDITION AROYA T-SHIRT JUST LIKE THE ONE I'M WEARING SO TYPE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS INTO THE CHAT TO ENTER THAT IS LIMITED TO US RESIDENTS AND ONE WINNER PER HOUSEHOLD JUST ME AND YOU TODAY JASON HOW YOU DOING I'M DOING WELL IT'S HARD TO SEE YOU ACACIA YEAH YOU TOO FRESH FROM LAS VEGAS AT THE CANNABIS CONFERENCE LAST WEEK UH GOOD TO BE BACK ON OFFICE HOURS UM ALL RIGHT SO JASON YOU READY FOR OUR FIRST QUESTION FROM INSTAGRAM YEAH LET'S KICK THIS OFF LET'S KICK IT OFF ALL RIGHT I GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS THIS WEEK REGARDING AC SO EC SO LET'S START THERE UH TORMA CANNABIS WANTS TO KNOW WHAT'S AN IDEAL SUBSTRATE EC TO AIM FOR YEAH SO THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND UH WE'RE GONNA OBVIOUSLY KIND OF APPROACH IT WITH JUST A JOURNAL SENSE NOT KNOWING NECESSARILY ABOUT GENETICS OR THE SPECIFIC NUTRIENTS NUTRIENT LINE THAT YOU'RE WORKING OFF OF IT'S WHY WE LIKE TIME SERIES DATA IS BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT UH WHAT EC ARE WE SHOOTING FOR WE'RE HERE AT AROYA LOOKING AT SUBSTRATE EASY TYPICALLY RIGHT WHAT IS THE PLANT SPECIFICALLY FEELING WITH ITS ITS ROOTS UH WE CAN YOU KNOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT IDEAL VDC BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE SPECIFIC EC THAT THE PLANTS ARE FEELING SO OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING LIKE TIME SERIES DATA IS THE BEST WAY TO TALK ABOUT THE IDEAL EC SIMPLY BECAUSE EC IS GOING TO BE VERY DYNAMIC WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DRYBACKS YOU KNOW THE MODULATION BASED ON YOUR FEED AMOUNTS YOUR RUNOFF AMOUNTS AND HOW MUCH DRYBACK YOU GET SO WELL AND ALSO DEPENDING ON THE PLANT LIFE CYCLE SO BASED ON WHAT YOUR GOALS ARE WE CAN MODULATE THAT EASY TO ALLOW PLANT ELONGATION YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE CALL IT STRETCH UH BASICALLY TYPICALLY A MORE VEGETATIVE A LOWER EC IS GOING TO DO SOME OF THAT TYPE OF STUFF AND THEN WHEN WE DECREASE THE OSMOTIC POTENTIAL BETWEEN THE ROOT ZONE AND THE PLANT AKA INCREASING EC IN THE RED ZONE THEN WE'RE GOING TO TYPICALLY SEE MORE GENERATIVE TYPE OF UH PLANT MORPHOLOGY AND SO REALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS THINK ABOUT HOW MANY SHOTS DO WE WANT HOW MUCH RUNOFF DO WE WANT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE ROOT ZONE EC THAT WE WANT WHEN I LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE A GENERATIVE ROOT ZONE A LOT OF TIMES OUR ROOT ZONE WILL BE IN BETWEEN THAT 5 AND 15 AND SO YEAH THAT SEEMS LIKE AN ABSOLUTELY HUGE RANGE AND A REALLY REALLY STRONG GROWING PLANT CAN GO FROM 5EC AFTER AN IRRIGATION TO 15 EC BEFORE THE IRRIGATION THE NEXT MORNING WHEN WE LOOK AT YOU KNOW 20 25 DRYBACK A REALLY HEALTHY DRY BACK IN AN APPROPRIATE SIZED MEDIA THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THAT EC WHEN WE'RE MORE VEGETATIVE UH YOU KNOW ANYWHERE PROBABLY BETWEEN SAY FIVE AND EIGHT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE REALISTIC DEPENDING ON YOUR NUTRIENT COMPOSITION YOU MIGHT WANT TO RUN A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THAT OR A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN THAT AND ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT USING TIME SERIES DATA AND DOCUMENTING YOUR HARVEST GROUPS IS GETTING AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE GOLDEN OR THE IDEAL RECIPE IS FOR A SPECIFIC CULTIVAR IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU'RE RUNNING SO AS WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHEN WE ARE CROP STEERING WE LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS ARE CLOSE TO AS IDEAL AS POSSIBLE SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT VPD SO THAT WE KNOW IF WE NEED TO MODIFY OUR RELATIVE HUMIDITY OR OUR TEMPERATURE IN ORDER TO GET THAT PLANT'S TRANSPIRATION RATES UP AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A LEAF PARAMETER LOOKING AT STILL MODEL CONDUCTANCE IS A GREAT WAY TO ABSOLUTELY DIAL IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR NEXT STEPS WITH CROP SEARING HAVE THE BEST FOUNDATION POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE PRODUCT EFFICIENCY

THAT'S GREAT AND ACTUALLY THIS NEXT QUESTION IS PERFECT IT ALIGNS WITH THIS TOPIC UM NRI GARDEN WANTED TO ADD NO WHAT EC SHOULD BE TARGETED AFTER STRETCH YEAH AND SO YOU KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE LOOK AT UH PLANTS LIFE CYCLE WHEN WE'RE YOU KNOW RUNNING A 18-6 VEGETATIVE EARLY ON IN THE PLANT LIVESTOCK WE'RE SHOOTING FOR AS MUCH STEM STOCKS BASICALLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE PLANT TO TO GROW AS FAST AS POSSIBLE WHEN WE FLIP TO 1212 FOR A LOT OF TYPES OF PLANTS AND ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE ALREADY ROOTED INTO OUR FINAL MEDIA WE'LL START TO PUSH A LITTLE BIT OF GENERATIVE PRESSURE ONTO THAT PLAN BASICALLY WHAT THAT'S DOING IS TO HELP REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF STRETCH THAT YOU'RE GETTING AND BY DOING THAT WE'RE GETTING AS MANY BUD SITES IN THE CANOPY TYPE THAT WE HAVE SO IF WE'RE SHOOTING FOR SMALLER PLANTS A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL PUSH A LITTLE BIT HARDER GENERATIVE FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER TYPICALLY THOUGH IF WE HAVE DON'T HAVE HIGH CONSTRAINTS I LIKE TO RUN GENERATIVE UNTIL WE STOP SEEING THAT STRETCH SO BASICALLY A LOT OF TIMES IT'S GOING TO BE YOU KNOW ONE TO FOUR WEEKS AND IT IS VERY STRAIN DEPENDENT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE BUTCHER STOCKIER PLANTS MAYBE LIKE A MAC ONE THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY NEED MUCH GENERATIVE ITS GENETICS ARE ALREADY SO GENERATIVE LENIENT THAT WE WANT TO BASICALLY JUST RUN THAT PLANT MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND OTHER PLANETS SOMETHING LIKE UH YOU KNOW A REAL STRETCHY A SATIVA MAYBE LIKE A BLUE DREAM THAT TYPE OF THING WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO RUN A REALLY LONG GENERATIVE TYPE OF UH SIGNALING SO THAT STRETCH TIME FRAME CAN BE OR YOU KNOW SOMEWHERE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BUT IT'S A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE SORRY GETTING KIND OF LONG-WINDED THERE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT STRETCH TYPICALLY THAT'S THE POINT WHERE WE'RE GOING FROM A GENERATIVE TYPE OF STRATEGY TO A MORE VEGETATIVE TYPE OF STRATEGY AND A LOT OF TIMES WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO ALLOW OUR EC TO TO DROP A LITTLE BIT OVER YOU KNOW ONE TO THREE DAYS WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT INSTANTANEOUSLY BUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS USUALLY JUST PUSH A LITTLE BIT MORE RUNOFF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE IRRIGATION EVENTS TO REFRESH THAT MEDIA THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THOSE YOU KNOW THOSE AREAS OF SAY I THINK I SAID YOU KNOW FIVE TO TEN YOU KNOW IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THAT TOO UM THEY SAY FOUR TO EIGHT UH FROM AFTER IRRIGATION TO THE UM THE DRY BACK YOU SEE JUST BEFORE THE NEXT DAY'S IRRIGATION AND THOSE ARE CHRISTIAN GUIDELINES IT IT'S REALLY GOING TO DEPEND ON ON WHICH NUTRIENTS YOU'RE USING AND YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS TYPICALLY LIKE TO GO WITH A YOU KNOW A TWO-PART SALT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE UNLESS YOU'VE GOT SOME SOME REAL GREAT SCIENTISTS CHEMISTS AGRONOMICS AGRONOMISTS THAT KNOW HOW TO FORMULATE YOUR FERTILIZERS THEN THEY GO WITH SOMETHING THAT'S UH THAT'S WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY

BEAUTIFUL UM THANK YOU GUYS UH INSTAGRAM FOR THOSE QUESTIONS WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MOVE ON TO YOUTUBE SO YEAH YOUTUBE LIVE DROPPING QUESTIONS AND THEN JUST REMIND IT TO OUR ATTENDEES WHO ARE ON WITH US RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU TOO SO BE SURE TO DROP YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE CHAT OUR GOOD FRIEND DIANE WROTE IN THEY WROTE HI CAN YOU SPEAK TO RUNOFF PH I STRUGGLE TO KEEP MY RUNOFF PH AROUND 5.8 QUITE OFTEN IT DROPS TO 4.8 TO 5.3 AROUND 20 DAYS INTO FLOWER MY NUTRIENT SOLUTION IS 6.2 AND I'M IN PEAT SUBSTRATE THANKS AH YEAH UH RUN OFF PH GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE MONITORING IT THAT'S ABSOLUTE ONE OF THE EASIEST INDICATORS OF SOME TYPE OF NUTRIENT IMBALANCE OR UH UH IMBALANCE IN THE SUBSTRATE PH SO TYPICALLY IF WE'RE IN A MORE INERT TYPE OF MEDIA SOMETHING LIKE ROCK WOOL IS A GREAT EXAMPLE THEN IF WE SEE THAT PH MODULATE COMING OUT IT'S TYPICALLY DUE TO PLANT SEEDING MORE ION ANIONS OR CATIONS UM SO IT'S SELECTIVELY USING UP MORE NUTRIENTS THAN WHAT IS MORE MORE OF A SPECIFIC NUTRIENT IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE NUTRIENTS THAN OTHERS AND THAT'S WHAT'S BASICALLY PUSHING THAT PH UP OR DOWN USUALLY I'LL SEE IT GO UP UM THE THING YOU KNOW IS PEAT MOSS DEPENDING ON YOUR SUPPLIER IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SOME SOME TYPE OF ABILITY THAT BUFFERS WHERE THAT PH IS AT AND ACTUALLY BE MODIFYING AS A COME THROUGH SO WELL YOU KNOW ONE THING THAT YOU CAN DO AS WELL IS JUST YOU KNOW RUN SOME SOME DRIP THROUGH TEST WITH THAT THAT PEAT SPECIFICALLY AND IF YOU'RE GOING AT SIX TWO YOU'RE NOT RUNNING A PLANT IN THE SUBSTRATE WHAT DO YOU SEE IN WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING TO COME OUT AT THAT POINT RIGHT YOU KNOW THERE ARE SOME TOOLS ON THE MARKET THAT ACTUALLY ALLOW YOU TO TEST IN SUBSTRATE PH YOU CAN GIVE THOSE A SHOT AS WELL AND SEE SEE WHAT RANGE THAT PETE IS OPERATING AT ITSELF SO I GUESS THERE'S YOU KNOW BASICALLY TWO MAIN COMPONENTS TO TO THE ANSWER THAT I'M GIVEN HERE ONE WOULD BE JUST THE THE MODIFICATION OF THE THE MEDIA ITSELF WHAT IS WHAT IS IT DOING TO THE RUNOFF AND THEN THE OTHER IS WHAT UM WHAT IS THE PLANT DOING THE COMPOSITION NUTRIENTS WHICH MIGHT BE ADJUSTING THAT PH UP OR DOWN AWESOME THANK YOU FOR THAT JASON UM WE GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS IN FROM INSTAGRAM RELATED TO SUBSTRATE SATURATION SO LET'S GET INTO THAT CANNABIS DEVIL DOG WROTE IN AFTER LOSING SUBSTRATE SATURATION WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO RE-SATURATE A MEDIUM YEAH I'M GONNA DIG INTO THIS JUST A LITTLE BIT AND MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS ON THIS QUESTION AS WELL UH SO YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S A SMALL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT SCIENTISTS CONSIDER SATURATION IN FIELD CAPACITY MOST THE TIME IN THIS INDUSTRY WE'RE REFERRING TO THE SAME THING RIGHT AT WHAT POINT DOES THE PLANT UH DOES THE SUBSTRATE NOT NECESSARILY HOLD ANY MORE WATER AND ALL WATER IS GOING TO RUN OFF SO IF WE ARE LOOKING AT A AROREOGRAPH AND WE KNOW WE'RE IRRIGATING AND WE DON'T SEE THE WATER CONTENT GOING UP WE'RE GETTING RUNOFF WE'RE AT FIELD CAPACITY FOR THAT SUBSTRATE UM WHEN WE ASK ABOUT UH IF IT DOESN'T GET YOU KNOW IF IT GETS AWAY FROM SATURATION OR FIELD CAPACITY I'M GUESSING THIS IS SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT MAYBE ROCK WOOL OR COCOA WHEN WE GET REALLY LOW IN WATER CONTENT AND WE START TO DEVELOP SOME HYDROPHOBIC POCKETS BECAUSE BASICALLY YOU KNOW WHEN WE ARE DOING DRY BACKS WE'RE GOING TO BE YOU KNOW 20 PERCENT YOU KNOW MAYBE ON AVERAGE SAY 15 TO 25 PERCENT UNDER OUR FIELD CAPACITY ON A DAILY BASIS RIGHT AND THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY BAD AS LONG AS THAT IS STILL ABOVE OUR OUR DEGRADATION POINT IF YOU WILL I GUESS WE JUST NEED TO GET A GIVE IT SOME TYPE OF NAME BUT WHAT HAPPENS WITH ROCKWELL SPECIFICALLY IS WHEN IT'S SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY IT HAS BINDERS AND A WETTING AGENT INSIDE OF IT AND THAT WETTING AGENT IS GOING TO ALLOW THE ROCKWOOL TO BECOME SATURATED RIGHT SO WHAT IT'S DOING IS IT'S IT'S ALLOWING THE WATER TO BE SLICKER OR STICKIER IF YOU WILL UH INTO THE MOLECULES OF THAT ROCK WOOLEN SO WHAT HAPPENS THAT THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU WET IT OUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY PUSHING THOSE WETTING AGENTS THROUGH THERE AND THE PRODUCT DOES NO LONGER HAVE THAT WETTING AGENT IN IT AND WHEN WE GET BELOW YOU KNOW SAY 30 WATER CONTENT AND IT IS DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON YOU KNOW MANUFACTURED MANUFACTURER BUT IF WE GET TO SAY BELOW 30 35 IN ROCKWOOL WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE IT STARTS TO GET DRY POCKETS IN THERE IT DEVELOPS SOME HYDROPHOBIC PROPERTIES IN THAT MEDIA AND WE'LL START TO SEE IRRIGATION FUNNELING IRRIGATION CHANNELING BASICALLY AND WHY THAT'S NOT GOOD IS OBVIOUSLY WE CAN GET SOME DEAD SPOTS IN OUR RED ZONE WE HAVE LESS UNIFORMITY OF THE WATER CONTENT AND THE SUBSTRATE SO IT BECOMES HARDER TO MONITOR AND TYPICALLY WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET BACK UP TO OUR ORIGINAL FIELD CAPACITY BECAUSE THOSE WET SPOTS OR THOSE DRY SPOTS DON'T WANT TO BECOME WET LIKE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY UH SO YEAH UH THE BEST WAYS TO DEAL WITH IT UH DON'T GET THERE USE A MONITORING SYSTEM LIKE OURS AND HAVE YOUR ALERTS SET AT A CRITICAL POINT SAY YOU KNOW 35 OR 40 WATER CONTENT SO THAT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE APPROACHING THAT DANGER ZONE SO OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW PREVENTION IS THE BEST THING THAT WE CAN DO AFTER YOU HAVE GOT SOME SOME HYDROPHOBIC POCKETS THERE'S A CHANCE THAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH UH YOU KNOW INCREASING YOUR FIELD CAPACITY BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FIELD CAPACITY BY DOING SOME LARGER IRRIGATIONS MORE IRRIGATIONS MAYBE GOING IN AND HAND WATERING USING A SURFACTANT YOU KNOW SOMETHING SOMETHING THAT HELPS GET BACK UP THERE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF MIXED RESULTS IN THE INDUSTRY WITH WITH HOW THAT HOW WELL THAT WORKS TO ACTUALLY RESTORE IT MOST OF THE TIME WE DON'T SEE IT COME BACK UP TO TO ORIGINAL BUT BUT IF YOU ARE IN A DIRE SITUATION WHERE YOU'VE RUN MUCH LOWER THAN INTENDED THEN UH YEAH YOU MIGHT HAVE TO JUST GO IN THERE AND DO SOME SOME HAND WIRING AND OBVIOUSLY THE THING ABOUT THAT IS YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT WHAT'S DOING TO YOUR NUTRIENTS IN YOUR SUBSTRATE AS WELL SO IF WE DO GO IN THERE AND DO UH YOU KNOW A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER AT ONE TIME TO TRY AND JUST IN CASE THOSE DRY SPOTS WITH WITH WATER WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE THAT UH EC DROP A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAN IDEAL AND SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO CROP STEER AND AND YOU ARE MONITORING IT AFTER AN ISSUE LIKE THAT

THAT'S A PERFECT SEGUE INTO THIS NEXT QUESTION FROM NATE MELTZ THEY WROTE IN WHY CAN'T I GET MY HUGOS UP TO SATURATION WHEN THEY GET DOWN TOO FAR CAN ONLY GET TO 48 PERCENT YEAH UH I MEAN I THINK THAT ROLLS RIGHT INTO WHAT WE WERE SAYING WHERE IF WE WE DRY OUT TOO MUCH UH WE'VE KIND OF JEOPARDIZED THE PROPERTIES OF THAT ROCK WOOL AS IT WAS INTENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND UH AND SO THAT DEFINITELY COULD HAVE HAPPENED UH IF IF YOU DID GET TOO LOW AND YOU ARE SEEING THAT THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT SIGN THAT THERE PROBABLY IS SOME HYDROPHOBIC PROPERTIES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE THE ROCK WALL AND IT'S IT'S NO LONGER PERFORMING AS INTENDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER

EXCELLENT JASON THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT OVERVIEW ALL RIGHT GOING BACK TO YOUTUBE WE GOT A QUESTION IN HERE UM THEY WANT TO KNOW THIS IS I THINK ERIC'S MANSION PARAGLIDING HOW CAN I GET MORE TRICHOMES I'VE HEARD 30 RH THE LAST TWO DAYS OF FLOUR AND OR 48 HOURS OF DARK AT THE END OF FLOWER SUGGESTIONS I RUN A VPD OF 1.5 72 F WITH 50 RH THE LAST TWO WEEKS THANKS DID YOU CATCH ALL THOSE NUMBERS JASON YEAH ENOUGH TO TO GIVE A GOOD RESPONSE HERE UM HOW DO WE GET MORE TRIG HOMES ISN'T THAT A WONDERFUL THING UH I THE BEST WAY TO GET MORE TRICHOMES RUN GREAT GENETICS UH THAT'S PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY TO INCREASE YOUR YOUR THC CONTENT AND GET A NICE STICKY GLISTENING PLANT UH YOU KNOW AS AS FAR AS THE THE ROOM PARAMETERS TOWARDS THE END I PERSONALLY PROBABLY WOULDN'T GO FOR A DARK PERIOD I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY GONNA IT'S GONNA DO MUCH TO MODIFY THE TRICHOMES UH YOU KNOW THOSE PLANTS WHEN THEY'RE CUT THEY'RE GONNA SEE DARK FOR A WHILE IN THE DRY ROOMS WE STILL DO HAVE SOME BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY GOING ON THROUGHOUT THAT DRY PERIOD SO I YOU KNOW I WOULDN'T GET TOO TOO CAUGHT UP WITH WITH SOME OF THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY SCIENCE NECESSARILY UM PROMOTES THAT THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY UM A VPD OF 1.5 THAT'S YOU KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT ON THE HIGH END BUT I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW HOW BIG A BUDS YOU'RE RUNNING OR WHAT TYPE OF MOLD AND MILDEW PRESSURES EXIST IN YOUR FACILITY SO THAT'S PROBABLY A REALLY GOOD PLACE TO BE UM I DON'T NECESSARILY YOU KNOW THINK THAT THAT'S GOING TO NECESSARILY CHANGE HOW MUCH TRICHOMES ARE ON THERE REALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THAT VPD TOWARDS THE END IS PUSHING IT HIGHER THAN WHAT'S IDEAL FOR THE PLANT JUST TO REDUCE THE THE CHANCES OF TESTS NO MODES MILDEWS AND A REAL BIG LOSS ON THAT CROP SO UH SURE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE PRESSURES YOU KNOW YOU COULD TRY DROPPING YOUR VPD DOWN MAYBE 1.3 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND SEE IF UH IF THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT BUT ABSOLUTELY ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT MOLDS AND MILDEWS

ALL RIGHT WE'RE ROCKING AND ROLLING ON YOUTUBE LIVE THIS ONE CAME UH THROUGH FROM HOFFMAN'S CHOICE THEY WROTE IN CAN YOU ASSUME EC FROM VWC OR IS THAT RISKY DUE TO LOCKOUT AND OTHER NUTRIENT PROBLEMS THAT CAN HAPPEN SO UH EC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIVITY UH BASICALLY IT'S JUST A MEASUREMENT OF THE SULTAN SOLUTION SO THAT'S WHAT WE USE TO DERIVE NUTRIENT CONTENT VWC VOLUMETRIC WATER CONTENT WHILE WE DO TYPICALLY SEE THE EC RISE WHEN PWC DROPS IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE CASE IF THE PLANT'S EATING MORE NUTRIENTS THAN THE NUTRIENTS THAT ARE CONCENTRATING BECAUSE WE SEE VWC DROP THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT STAGNANT OR EVEN SEE THE EC DROP BECAUSE THE PLANTS USING THOSE NUTRIENTS UP SO IF IN GENERAL YOUR EC AND YOUR VWC NEED TO BE EVALUATED SEPARATELY IF WE DO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ON THERE THEN IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE YOU KNOW RUNNING THINGS EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU HAVE IN THE PAST WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES AS FAR AS PLANT GROWTH BEHAVIOR UM I DON'T THINK THAT'S A VERY REASONABLE SOLUTION ALL RIGHT SO I I WOULD DEFINITELY APPROACH IT AS TWO SEPARATE NUMBERS LET'S TRY TO HIT OUR TARGET VWCS LET'S TRY TO HIT OUR TARGET ECS YES THEY ARE RELATED SO THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO MODULATE OUR OUR AMOUNT OF RUNOFF SO WE CAN BASICALLY GET TO THE EC NUMBERS THAT WE WANT WITHOUT PLAYING AROUND WITH OUR FEET EASY TOO MUCH UM

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

AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH OKAY MOVING BACK TO INSTAGRAM QUESTIONS HERE GREEN STREET GROW THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOME 24-HOUR VEG STEERING TIPS WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND

UM COOL YEAH I DON'T SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING 24-HOUR VEG UM YOU KNOW 18 6 IS KIND OF THE STANDARD IN THE INDUSTRY UH HOWEVER YOU KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME PEOPLE DOING IT VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW SO I GUESS THE VEGETARIAN TIPS WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS IDEAL FOR THOSE PLANTS UM YOU KNOW KEEP AN EYE YOU KNOW DO SOME TIME SERIES CAMERA SHOTS DO WE EVER SEE THOSE THOSE PLANTS UM YOU KNOW RELAXING OR ARE THEY ALWAYS PRAYING FOR THE ENTIRE 24 HOURS CONSTANTLY THROUGHOUT EVENT THAT MIGHT JUST GIVE YOU KIND OF AN IDEA OF HOW YOUR FEEDING PRACTICES UH HOW YOUR PLANTS RESPONDING TO YOUR FEEDING PRACTICES THROUGHOUT THAT TIME FRAME SO I DON'T I GUESS I DON'T HAVE ANY REALLY SPECIFIC TIPS FOR IT BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW CHECKING YOUR ENVIRONMENT MAKING SURE THAT YOUR IRRIGATION SHOTS ARE ARE HIDDEN WHEN YOU WANT SO YOU'RE GETTING SOME DRY BACK BUT YOU ARE GETTING LOTS OF IRRIGATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO ENCOURAGE PLANT GROWTH RESPONSE FROM THOSE IRRIGATIONS

IT'S AMAZING YOU YOU JUST THE SEGWAYS ARE SO PERFECT BECAUSE THE NEXT QUESTION IS ABOUT P2 ALL RIGHT SO NORWELL NOR WEST 3R LLC WROTE IN DURING P2 IRRIGATIONS DO I NEED TO RUN OFF OR IS JUST MAINTAINING MY IDEAL BWC IS THAT IT YEAH SO I GUESS IF WE HAVE TWO GOOD CONDITIONS THEN WE DON'T NEED RUNOFF AND I'VE GOT UH SOME PRETTY WELL ACCOMPLISHED CLIENTS THAT ARE ABLE TO RUN WITH ALMOST NO RUNOFF SO THE TWO CONDITIONS WOULD BE ARE WE GETTING THE EC THAT WE WANT SO IF WE DON'T NEED TO DECREASE OUR EC THEN WE DON'T NECESSARILY GET RUNOFF IN PH OR IN P2 EXCUSE ME AND UH AND SO THAT'S THAT'S BASICALLY THE MAIN DRIVER OF HOW MUCH RUNOFF THAT I LIKE TO TO LOOK AT AND THEN THE OTHER WOULD BE IF YOU KNOW OUR NUTRIENT COMPOSITION IS STABLE UM SO IF WE DON'T NEED TO REFRESH THE NUTRIENTS IN THE SUBSTRATE SO OBVIOUSLY OUR PLANT IS CHOOSING OUT DIFFERENT IONS IN SOLUTION TO EAT AND TURN INTO UM PLANT FOOD IT'S PHOTOSYNTHESIZING THOSE DIFFERENT NUTRIENTS IN THE SUBSTRATE AND SO IF THE COMPOSITION THE AMOUNT OF EACH IN COMPARISON TO EACH OTHER IS STABLE THEN WE DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO FLUSH OUT ANY OF THE UNSTABILIZED NUTRIENT SOLUTION IN THERE SO YOU KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT BACK IN THE DAYS I THINK WE USED TO SEE QUITE A BIT MORE RUNOFF THAN WE DO ANYMORE THERE'S YOU KNOW A NUMBER OF PRETTY HIGH QUALITY NUTRIENTS PRE-PACKAGED NUTRIENTS AVAILABLE SPECIFICALLY FOR CANNABIS THESE DAYS WHICH WHICH HAS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW MUCH PEOPLE NEED TO PUSH RUNOFF IN ORDER TO UH TO KEEP THEIR NUTRIENTS STABILIZED AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT WHERE I USE THAT PH UH RATHER RUNOFF KIND OF LOOPING AROUND TO THE QUESTION EARLIER HERE TO TRACK AND MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I CAN SEE OBVIOUSLY IS UH THAT THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVES ARE STAYING BALANCED IF YOU KNOW WE HAD REALLY REALLY GOOD EQUIPMENT AT A FACILITY WE COULD DO UM DO A COMPOSITION BREAKDOWN BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A NEED OR REALISTIC FOR FOR MOST PRODUCTION FACILITIES

THANK YOU FOR THAT ALL RIGHT HUSKY WROTE IN ON YOUTUBE LIVE IT'D BE HAPPY TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS FOR YOU UM IF WE DO GET A SWING UP OR DOWN SHOULD WE SWING BACK TO CORRECT BPD FAST OR TRANSITION BACK SLOWER IN ORDER TO CORRECT VALUES INSTEAD OF CAUSING THE SECOND SWING AS WELL

UM YEAH UH I GUESS FOR ME WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS RATHER THAN GET TOO CONCERNED ABOUT HOW I'M CORRECTING IT I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT WHY IT HAPPENED I DID ONE OF MY HVAC UH PIECES OF EQUIPMENT GO OUT YOU KNOW DO THEY DEHUMIDIFIER DIE YOU KNOW IF I'M IN A GREENHOUSE THERE'S A HUGE SLEW OF DIFFERENT PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT COULD ATTRIBUTE TO ATTRIBUTE THAT TYPE OF SWING I TYPICALLY LIKE TO TO GET TO A LITTLE BIT MORE GRADUAL TYPE OF APPROACH OBVIOUSLY IF YOU'RE WAY OUT OF RANGE THEN YOU DO NEED TO BE PRETTY PROACTIVE AND GET IT BACK UP OR DOWN AS FAST AS YOU CAN SO THAT YOU'RE NOT JEOPARDIZING PLANT HEALTH YOU KNOW LET'S JUST THINK ABOUT TEMPERATURE RIGHT AND SO IF YOUR VPD IS REALLY REALLY LOW BECAUSE YOUR TEMPERATURE YOU KNOW WENT FROM 80 DEGREES TO 60 DEGREES UH YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO WANT TO GET BACK UP TO A LITTLE BIT WARMER TEMPERATURES PRETTY QUICKLY UM YOU KNOW AND AND OBVIOUSLY IF IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN THAT THEN GET THINGS CORRECTED REAL FAST OBVIOUSLY IF YOUR VP IS WAY TOO HIGH BECAUSE OUR HUMIDITY WENT FROM 50 TO 20 PERCENT THEN AGAIN SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY WANT TO CORRECT PRETTY FAST SO UH NOT AN EASY ANSWER WITHOUT YOU KNOW GIVING IT SOME SPECIFIC NUMBERS ON THERE BUT BUT THAT WOULD BE MY APPROACHES I UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF HOW FAR OUT OF RANGE YOU ARE AND UH AND CORRECT IT DEPENDING ON THAT SEVERITY

AWESOME THANK YOU FOR THAT ALL RIGHT DIANE SUBMITTED ANOTHER QUESTION OVER YOUTUBE THIS IS A REALLY GREAT ONE ALL RIGHT DID YOU GUYS RECOMMEND AROYA TERRACE 12 FOR COCOA AND PERLITE MIX OR IT'S ONLY ROCK WALL CUBE TOOL SHOULD I SWITCH MY FACILITY TO ROCKWALL JUST BECAUSE OF TERROR SWELL OR CAN I STICK WITH COCOA AND PERLITE UH SHOULD YOU SWITCH TO TERRORISTS OR SWITCH TO ROCKWELL JUST FOR THE TERRACE 12 NO UH OUR TERRACE 12 WE USE A SOILLESS CALIBRATION IT'S PRETTY GOOD IN ROCKWOOL AND COCOA AND COCO PERLITE MIX UH YOU GUYS HAVE PROBABLY HEARD ME ON HERE PREACH A LOT OF TIMES ABOUT USING COCOA SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S MORE FORGIVING THAN ROCK WOOL IF YOU HAVE EVERYTHING IN YOUR FACILITY DIALED IN AS FAR AS ENVIRONMENT HANDLING AND PREPPING PROPERTIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS THEN OR IRRIGATION UM PARAMETERS THEN YEAH YOU CAN START TO TRY TO PLAY WITH ROCKWOOL UH THAT BEING SAID ANECDOTALLY I'VE HAD A LOT OF CLIENTS THAT MOVED TO ROCKWELL BEFORE THEY WERE READY AND THEN NEEDED TO SWITCH BACK JUST BECAUSE OF DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE IT'S A LITTLE BIT YOU KNOW THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIABILITY WITH ROCKWELL IF YOU DO RUN INTO ISSUES I THINK A NUMBER OF TIMES I'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT ROCKWELL BEING THAT THE SPORTS CAR OF THE SUBSTRATES IN THE INDUSTRY WHERE IT IS HIGH PERFORMANCE AND UH AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF APPROPRIATELY IN ORDER TO BE HIGHER PERFORMANCE WHEREAS YOU KNOW COCO IS GOING TO BE MORE LIKE A YOU KNOW SUV OR A TRUCK OR A JEEP WHERE IT'S IT'S GOING TO GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO MAYBE NOT WITH QUITE AS MUCH QUITE AS MUCH PERFORMANCE BUT IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE QUITE A BIT LESS MAINTENANCE IN ORDER TO GET THERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH HITTING A FEW CURBS ON THE WAY

AWESOME THANK YOU FOR THAT ALL RIGHT CONTINUING WITH YOUTUBE AND JUST A REMINDER TO THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE ON HANGOUTS TODAY DON'T FORGET TO POST YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE CHAT SO WE CAN GET THOSE ANSWERED LIVE TOO ALL RIGHT ERIC EXPANSION PARAGLIDING HAS ANOTHER QUESTION FOR US IS IT TRUE THAT THAT THE TERRACE 12 WON'T 24 HOUR DATA LOG BECAUSE I'M NOT A COMMERCIAL GROW IF IT DOES NOT WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COLLECT COLLECT DATA A COUPLE TIMES A DAY YEAH UH AND SO THE TERRACE 12 IT'S JUST A SENSOR UH WITH OUR COMMERCIAL SYSTEM IT PLUGS INTO WHAT WE CALL IT NODE IT'S JUST A WIRELESS DONGLES THAT PIPES IT DATA INTO THE INTERNET IN WHICH WE DATABASE IT IN TIME SERIES 24 HOURS A DAY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND UH AND THAT YEAH THAT IS CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE TO COMMERCIAL GROWERS OBVIOUSLY FOR THE HOME GROWERS WE DO HAVE THE THE SOLE SOLUTION IN WHICH YOU CAN GO AND TAKE A SNAPSHOT OF DATA IF UH YOU ARE DOING THAT YOU WANT TO GET THE BEST DATA POINTS POSSIBLE USUALLY YOU KNOW BEFORE YOUR GATE SO YOU GET THE THE LOW LOW WATER CONTENT NUMBER JUST AFTER YOU IRRIGATE UNTIL YOU GET YOUR HIGH WATER CONTENT NUMBER THOSE ARE THE BE THE THE TWO PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE

EXCELLENT THANK YOU SO MUCH AND UH JUST A REMINDER A FEW EPISODES ACTUALLY WE COVERED JUST CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUR PRODUCTS SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY UH WANTS MORE INFORMATION ON THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS REACH OUT TO US FOR A DEMO TOO OKAY GOT ANOTHER QUESTION IN FROM OUR GOOD FRIEND DIANE NUMBER YOUTUBE CAN JASON GIVE US SOME GOOD NUTRITION FORMULATION FOR BULKING PHASE UNDER LED LIGHTS LIKE BY PPMS VALUES WHAT DO YOU THINK JASON UH I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THAT OKAY I I'M NOT A CHEMIST BY TRADE UM YOU KNOW I THINK PROBABLY UH JUST TO BE HUMBLE THE NUTRIENT COMPOSITION IS IS WAY BEYOND WHAT WHAT I'M QUALIFIED TO TO BE OUT THERE GIVING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UM YOU KNOW USUALLY YOU'LL JUST HEAR ME KIND OF RECOMMEND SOME OF UH SOME OF THE WELL-KNOWN TWO-PART SALTS IN THE INDUSTRY UM YEAH THERE IS GOOD WAYS THAT YOU CAN KIND OF MODULATE WITH THOSE TWO PART SALTS BUT AS FAR AS GETTING UM RAW CHEMICALS AND BLENDING THEM INTO YOUR NUTRIENTS UH FIND SOMEONE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN ME BEFORE BEFORE YOU GET GOING WITH THAT

THAT'S GREAT YES EXCELLENT OKAY ANOTHER QUESTION FROM INSTAGRAM HERE THIS ONE CAME FROM THAT BOY GROSS5 THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW DOES SALINITY AND COCOA AFFECT SENSOR DATA SALINITY AND COCOA AFFECTING SENSOR DATA UM

NOTHING SPECIAL UH YOU KNOW AS LONG AS YOU'RE BELOW 30 DEATHS SIEMENS THEN OUR SENSORS ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU A PRETTY ACCURATE NUMBER AS FAR AS WHAT THE SALINITY IN THAT COCOA IS ONCE WE GET UP THERE OUR SENSORS JUST LOSE ACCURACY SIMPLY BECAUSE OF YOU KNOW HOW SALTY OR HOW DRY THE SUBSTRATE IT IS SO REALLY AT THE THE OPERATING LEVELS THAT WE'RE USED TO THE AMOUNT OF SALINITY DOESN'T HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR SENSOR PERFORMANCE

GREAT THANK YOU OKAY WE GOT A QUESTION FROM INSTAGRAM FROM IT'S THAT SIMPLE FOR ME THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST POT SIZE PER PLANT IN A TWO BY TWO COCOA BIGGER PLANT DUE TO STATE REGULATIONS

UM IN A TWO BY TWO COCOA UH WITH THAT SO SUBSTRATE SIZES OBVIOUSLY FOR BIGGER PLANTS MY FAVORITES USUALLY A TWO GALLON TYPE OF SUBSTRATE UM AND YEAH SO YOU KNOW SOME STATES DO REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A LIMITED PLANT COUNT IN THAT CASE OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO BE GROWING FIVE SIX FOOT PLANTS AND THAT'S WHERE BEING A TWO GALLON TWO AND A HALF GALLON MAYBE A THREE GALLON BUT UH THAT'S PUSHED AND PROBABLY A LITTLE BIGGER THAN I'D WANT UM THE THE BEST WAY TO JUDGE IF YOUR SUBSTRATE SIZE IS APPROPRIATE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY ON BOTH ENDS OF YOUR CROP STEERING SPECTRUM ALL RIGHT SO IF I'M ONLY YOU KNOW GIVING P1S DURING GENERATIVE STEERING AND I DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH DRY BACK THEN WE KNOW MY SUBSTRATE'S BIG ENOUGH IF I CAN SEE VERY LITTLE DRY BACK DURING SOME OF OUR HARD GENERATIVE PUSHING THEN I KNOW MY SUBSTRATE'S A LITTLE BIT TOO BIG
