Gaps, holes, cracks and other building infiltration issues can lead to climate management control problems, no matter how good your equipment and technology are, Sabeh says.
If there are humidity control issues, one place she typically looks first is the ceiling or roof to check for holes or cracks causing outside air to come in. One problematic area is around ductwork, she says. Another place outside air can travel in is from entrances or delivery areas where there are no dividers between the outside and the production space.
Problem: HVAC equipment cycles off automatically, causing fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Possible Solutions: Fix communication between sensors and automation system; check manufacturer for instructions on use; check system size; invest in more sensors.
And you can just see these spikes, and for five minutes, the equipment is off. When equipment cycles off and on, Sabeh says one potential reason is that the HVAC system is too large for the space.
Often problems stem from a lack of training on how to use the equipment, however. Sabeh recommends working with suppliers that will provide information and training at the outset. Another area to check is sensors; it might be that there are not enough sensors to provide accurate information to the environmental control systems. Although it can be expensive, Sabeh says, investing in sensors and monitoring systems that track and store historical data is essential to successfully troubleshooting HVAC problems.
Mitchell says planning for a cultivation crisis is similar to fire drill training—what is the rescue plan if there is a catastrophic situation in your growing operation? Possible Solution: Check labels and wiring when systems are installed. Like many in the industry, editors from Cannabis Business Times stayed up until the early hours of Nov. We constantly refreshed pages, discovering voters passed every cannabis initiative presented to them, celebrating each win as we witnessed history together.
In , voters in eight of nine states with cannabis legalization on the ballot approved the measures. That year, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada legalized adult-use cannabis—Arizona was the only state not to pass its initiative, which would have regulated cannabis like alcohol. It was a big night for cannabis, but one that maybe was not as surprising, as traditional polling showed voters in blue states more willing to support legalization than those in red.
This year, the results were different. Voters in states both bright red and blue showed their willingness to usher in adult-use cannabis legalization in an election that was defined by close calls—except when it came to ending prohibition.
With blue New Jersey, battleground Arizona and red Montana and South Dakota passing adult-use measures, 15 states currently or are poised to regulate adult-use cannabis sales. Maintaining the humidity levels is a more significant challenge for most growers. Sour Diesel requires varying levels of humidity at different growth stages for good yield.
Plants exposed to low humidity levels exhibit an increase in the rate of water absorption from the soil. Although it may continue to grow in such an environment, there comes the point when it closes its stomatal opening to retain the absorbed water. This process could cause stunted growth and low potency in yield. Too much moisture is also harmful to the plant as the rate of water absorption from the soil reduces. It affects the nutrient uptake, leaving the plants short of essential compounds for growth.
Sour Diesel is a heavily nutrient-dependent strain. It requires high concentrations of various nutrients at different stages of growth for the best yield. But the need for the external introduction of nutrients through supplements depends on your medium of choice.
For example, if you are growing Sour Diesel indoors with soil as a medium, it already contains a healthy balance of elements required by the plant. You might have to watch out for any particular deficiencies before adding supplements to avoid harming the plant with too many nutrients. Soil also serves as a good buffer between the plant and the chemicals, thus forgiving some nutrient imbalance errors.
Therefore, new growers should choose soil over other mediums. Young Sour Diesel plants will require nothing but good soil at the seedling stage. Starting at the vegetative stage, the plant needs high input of Nitrogen. A healthy NPK ratio for this stage would be , along with a hint of secondary nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. The plant requires higher proportions of phosphorus during the flowering stage to exhibit high potency.
Therefore, shift the ratio to At this stage, adding secondary elements like manganese, calcium, and iron can improve yield quality.
