Weekly Tip: April week 1 – Prep the Greenhouse

In the first few weeks of April, prep the greenhouse. This involves cleaning the site and building the greenhouse. When building the greenhouse, we hang supplemental oscillating fans and place necessary dehumidifiers. Our farm is on the coast, an we are dealing with fog in the early spring weeks, so we hang four 600 watt High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights in a 10 by 20 space (200 sq feet). This ensures the the proper light cycle for forcing the flower, the balance between light and dark, 12 hours day, 12 hours night.
