Week 39

September 25th // Spread the RWP Joy

Cultural Activity

The plants are being spaced out today. Since they’ve been potted, all the plants were condensed onto 2 benches in Zone 4. By the end of the day, they will be spread onto the 8 benches in Zone 4 and Zone 5. The plants will be about 13inches from each other, stem to stem.

The plants will also be hooked up to our irrigation system, each plant being connected to a drip line.

Bench 1 in Zone 1 will be used as an experiment to test out a new system using halo water rings that should provide a more even irrigation around the plants.

Also as an experiment, some plants will be placed in zone 3 so we can see how they will be affected by the absence of the black out curtains that controls the number of hours the plants in Zone 4 and 5 will be subjected. The temperature setpoints in Zone 3 are also set to create a cooler environment than in zone 4 and 5, which will certainly affect the growth of the plants placed there.
