30% Shade Netting

Even though the pumpkin is split before it is removed there some last trials that will be conducted. This shows the shade netting place on the structure and PAR readings (light intensity) readings are being taken to see what impact it may have and what is the best time for it to be applied or removed to ensure the plant is not getting light deprived.

Note that in a CO2 enriched environment the plants can actually utilize greater light intensity, so this is the reason for the extra time to take some readings as there is a delicate balance between light and heat in the summer time. The goal is to ensure the light is maximized while still reducing the temperature when possible.
