      Circulation fans: You could get by with 2 Placed directly in the middle with one fan blowing one way, and the other fan blowing the other way to create circular movement, but you would be better served with Four placed at 25% and 75% of the hoop house still facing opposite ways .

    • @BootstrapFarmer
      @BootstrapFarmer 17 дней назад

      I'm afraid you might find that the blocks will dry out after a few days. But that would be the case with almost any seed starting set up.

    • @BootstrapFarmer
      @BootstrapFarmer 17 дней назад

      The Hand-held Maxi 1 creates just one tall block, measuring 4" x 4" x 4" - a substantial size for larger seedlings while also providing maximum aeration. It is perfect for up-potting vine crops early in the season, from smaller soil blocks to planting larger tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers after the last frost dates.

    You mentioned that the black shade cloth had a heating effect. I have found that totally opposite. I am in 7b, rapidly transitioning to 8a, and when I spread my shade cloth on my hoop house, the temperature drops by 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit

    • @BootstrapFarmer
      @BootstrapFarmer 21 день назад

      You're right, you should see a drop in temps when applying shade cloth. All shade cloth blocks light, which results in a temp drop compared to outside. But when you're comparing black shade cloth to white shade cloth, black shade cloth will keep the temps higher than the white shade cloth inside the tunnel because the black coloring absorbs more heat. We're going to be putting out a video that covers this question more in-depth so stay tuned for that!

    From What I read in "Hydroponic Food Production," by Howard M.Resh, the roots should not be exposed to air any longer than twenty minutes. This style of technique is supposed to create a healthier root system due to the plant needing to retain more nutrients within a limited time window. If the plants are not re-introduced to the nutrient water within the time window then the plant will die.

    • @BootstrapFarmer
      @BootstrapFarmer Месяц назад

      That is certainly the case in DWC or NFT, however the system you see here is primarily for microgreens and propagation in which if flooded 24/7 would lead to dampening off in microgreens or over saturation in newly sprouted seed starts.
