I’ve had a couple of week’s holiday which is great because I have Stuart to keep the patch in good shape. One of the great things about doing a diary with photos every year is you get to compare where you are with this year’s crop. This year looking at the photos, despite sowing one week earlier I would say that the plants are now one week behind which is down to the temp and poor weather. We lowered the venting temp to 16F 62C from last year’s 18F 66C which was to try and get a more compact plant. On top of that we put a min vent of 9% during day light hours in our quest to keep the CO2 up to background levels. This was always going to be a trial and error thing which is why we got the CO2 meter. Strangely enough ever since we mowed in the rye grass we’ve found that we have more CO2 when the vents are shut tight. We’re guessing that because the rye grass and manure are rotting down they are actually giving us the extra CO2. So happy days our “Blue print” for the future has just got better. Were now back to venting at 66F and the min vent is gone but that will be back if the CO2 drops. First up is an amazingly solid 2009
