Week 39

September 28th // Balancing Temperature

When comparing our current climate data to last year, we noticed the average temperature inside the greenhouse on week 39 2022 was about 3° warmer than we are experiencing this time around.
This can be attributed to a few factors, one of them being that the average temperature outside was warmer. Another important factor to consider is that during fall 2022, the gutter vents were malfunctioning, reducing the airflow and increasing the temperature.

To help maintain a higher temperature, we adjusted the cooling temperature to 25°, which means the ambient temperature should get higher for longer period of time during the day. Ideally, this should help with growth, and water absorption.
