Cold Frame Removal: Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17
Five days after the indoor plant with all of the special additions (lighting and carbon dioxide) the outdoor plant has out grown its cold frame. In the background the supporting PVC pipes can be seen which makes for easy storage when the cold frame structure is not needed. The soil has been raked and leveled since vine burying will soon be occurring.
The vertical PVC pipe has a Senninger Upright mini-Wobbler® outfitted with the #5 nozzle beige (5/64”) which has a flow rate of 0.75 gpm (gallons per minute) and an approximate 39ft. diameter of coverage since I am running them at 20psi. This is a size larger size with greater flow than the one inside the large structure because there is greater chance for wind and I want to make sure the leaves get sufficient water coverage for cooling on those hot days. There will be two set-up to help ensure even coverage of the entire plant once full grown.
The main function of the mini-Wobbler® is to create a mist to allow for evaporative cooling for both the indoor and outdoor plants. It will naturally be warmer in the enclosed structure than this field grown plant, so, I have gone with less flow in the structure because of the more frequent run times throughout the day when compared to the outdoor plant.
