Right from the start, you define your yield potential. Making a few adjustments to your planning makes the difference.
Choose resistant varieties and eliminate common diseases
Tweak your spacing and increase yield by 30% on the South bed
Prune smart and reduce time to maturity
STEP 2
Get Proper Ventilation
Every fahrenheit colder slows growth by 5%. Precise ventilation control acts on many front to bring you more quality fruits. Just closing the sides at night can get you a significant impact. Even in the summer !
Reduce day/night temperature difference and prevent crop exhaustion
Keep temperature transitions smooth and increase shelf life
Prevent sudden temperature drops and boost growth rate by 50%
STEP 3
Irrigate Better
Farmers have seen yield increases between 30 and 300%. Others have mentioned leaves quality improving within 4 days. Giving the right amount, at the right time, is a powerful way to get ahead while avoiding diseases
Time irrigation right and make sure every bit of sunlight turned into growth
Split irrigation and reduce deficiencies
Let the soil dry at night and promote healthy roots
STEP 4
The Necessity of Dehumidifying
“It has pretty much eradicated disease in the tunnel” is what folks who control humidity say. You can save yourself a lot of pain with humidity control.
Identify when humidity levels promote disease development
Flush the tunnel air and cut disease development cycle
Keep leaves dry and fungi spores won’t grow on your leaves.
STEP 5
Heat to Unlock Growth
Heating lets you harvest in the sunniest months. It unlocks huge yield potential. You can also take humidity control to the next level and increase disease prevention.
June alone has the potential to produce 1 ¼ lb/ft²
Heating, while opening ventilation, reduces humidity. That's how you keep disease-prone conditions during heat waves.
Lower the temperature on cloudy days. This will keep your plant high-yielding without exhausting it.
STEP 6
Master Growth
Taking 10 min/week to adapt to what the plant looks like is the final piece to boost your yields to a $15,000 bed.
Adapt the temperature to the stem diameter and get wasted growth back
Adapt pruning to leaf length and keep more energy to grow fruit
Take 2 min/week to check the fertilization level. You'll prevent deficiencies and improve taste
Keep the plant thirsty for longer and send more energy toward fruit production
