EDITOR<br />

TG<br />

Toby Gorman<br />

As the new year arrives it brings with<br />

it change, optimism, and a little bit of<br />

uncertainty. This is what we celebrate as the<br />

calendar flips from 2018 to <strong>2019</strong>. It’s a time<br />

to reflect on all that has been accomplished<br />

over the past year and prepare for the<br />

challenges that lay ahead.<br />

Here at <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>, 2018 was a year of<br />

challenges, accomplishments, and change.<br />

As the grow industry landscape changed as<br />

never before, we, too, had to change.<br />

We restarted with rebuilding our distribution<br />

system so that <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> was directly<br />

distributed via FedEx to hydro stores,<br />

ensuring trackable distribution. This allows<br />

us to pinpoint exactly how many copies are<br />

going out and where they’re going, while<br />

maximizing our reach so as many readers<br />

as possible can benefit from the helpful<br />

information found within the magazine. For a<br />

current map of where to find <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>,<br />

check out maximumyield.com. Of course,<br />

magazines distributed through our hydro<br />

retail partners are still free.<br />

To complement our hydro store distribution,<br />

we also entered mainstream retail distribution<br />

to engage an even broader audience. In the<br />

US, readers can now find <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong><br />

and <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> Cannabis at Barnes<br />

and Noble, our first foray in 21 years onto the<br />

newsstand. To make this work, we had to<br />

rebrand some of our magazines, so we went to<br />

work with sleek new cover designs, improved<br />

layout design, and cutting-edge content from<br />

some of the industry’s best writers.<br />

In modern day publishing, however, print isn’t<br />

enough. In 2018 we also upgraded our website,<br />

introduced our MY app, and increased our<br />

social presence so our articles and products can<br />

reach you no matter where you are.<br />

We’re not done yet, and we can’t wait to see<br />

what <strong>2019</strong> brings. With that said, from the<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> team to you and yours, we<br />

wish you a <strong>2019</strong> filled with joy, happiness,<br />

and beautiful gardens.<br />

Enzymes<br />

Enzymes are biological catalysts. This means that enzymes accelerate a wide variety<br />

of very particular chemical reactions within living organisms. They represent a major<br />

aspect of cellular regulation and function. Almost all metabolic processes including<br />

transportation of information and processes within the cytoskeleton of the cell need<br />

enzymes in order to maintain function and sustain the life of the organism.<br />

Chemically, enzymes are like any catalyst and are not consumed in chemical<br />

reactions, nor do they alter a reaction other than through acceleration. Enzymes differ<br />

from most other catalysts by being much more specific in their function and reaction.<br />

The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme<br />

helps convert the substrates into different molecules known as products. Enzyme<br />

activity can be affected by other molecules: inhibitors are molecules that decrease<br />

enzyme activity, and activators are molecules that increase activity.<br />

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR A GROWER?<br />

Email editor@maximumyield.com to get an answer.<br />

ask a<br />

GROWER<br />

Q<br />

What proportion of plant hormones should we add for chili pepper plants?<br />

Thanks,<br />

Surya P.<br />

a<br />

Hello Surya,<br />

The type of concentration of plant hormones (plant<br />

growth regulators) to use on chili pepper plants<br />

depends on what process you are trying to control.<br />

Plant hormones are not routinely used for the general<br />

production of greenhouse and hydroponic chili plants<br />

under normal growing conditions as the plant produces<br />

sufficient amounts of these for optimal growth, and<br />

there is a risk that incorrect application can actually<br />

have a negative effect and may even kill or severely<br />

harm plants. The main use of plant hormones on chili<br />

plants is under adverse growing conditions, such as<br />

high or low temperatures where application helps<br />

reduce flower drop thus increasing fruit set and yields.<br />

Under adverse growing conditions chili crops can have<br />

a significant reduction in growth and yields when<br />

high daytime temperatures (more than 86°F) coupled<br />

with warm nights cause abscission of flowers<br />

and poor fruit set which severely restricts yields.<br />

The application of foliar sprays of the NAA<br />

(Naphthaleneacetic acid) auxin can enhance fruit set<br />

and yields under these conditions and make the crop<br />

more profitable. One study has also found that use<br />

of NAA at foliar-applied rates of 20-40 ppm not only<br />

improved fruit set, but also increased plant height and<br />

the number of primary branches in chili plants. However,<br />

other studies show varying responses to applied plant<br />

growth regulators, so some experimentation may be<br />

required. Other plant growth regulators that may have<br />

an effect on chili pepper plants have been reported as<br />

being GA3 (Gibberellic acid) at 10 ppm, and triacontanol<br />

at 5 ppm, which both had a similar effect to NAA by<br />

promoting greater fruit set and resulting yields under<br />

adverse environmental conditions.<br />

FACTS<br />

Research Shows Climate Change Intensified Destructive Hurricanes<br />

Some of the nastiest recent hurricanes, including Katrina, Irma, and Maria were made more<br />

destructive by climate change, with as much as 10 per cent more rainfall. Research published in the<br />

journal Nature showed warming of the atmosphere and Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans increased<br />

rainfall by five to 10 per cent, though wind speeds didn’t change much. But the problem will be worse<br />

with future global warming. Researchers discovered that if little is done to curb greenhouse gas emissions<br />

and the globe warms by 2-3°F, then hurricane rain would increase by a third with wind speeds boosted by as<br />

much as 29 miles per hour. “Climate change has exacerbated rainfall and is set to enhance the wind speed,” says<br />

Christina Patricola, who undertook the study with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory colleague Michael Wehner.<br />

The research used climate models to see how factors such as air and ocean temperatures have influenced hurricanes.<br />

Projections were then made, based upon various levels of planetary warming.<br />

Scientists Create Drought-resistant Plants Without Stunting Growth<br />

Researchers have discovered a strategy to create drought-resistant plants without affecting<br />

overall plant growth. Ana Caño-Delgado led a team from the Center for Research in<br />

Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) that published a study in the journal Nature<br />

Communications detailing the discovery. Plants were created to resist<br />

drought by modifying the signaling of plant steroids called<br />

brassinosteroids. Initially these plants had stunted growth,<br />

but now Caño-Delgado has learned that plants which<br />

overexpress the BRL3 brassinosteroid receptor in the<br />

vascular tissue are more resistant to water scarcity<br />

than control plants and that, unlike the previously<br />

researched mutants, they grow to normal size. “We<br />

have discovered that modifying brassinosteroid<br />

signaling only locally in the vascular system, we<br />

are able to obtain drought resistant plants without<br />

affecting their growth,” says Caño-Delgado. The<br />

work was done on the plant Arabidopsis thaliana.<br />

It’s a small flowering plant found in Eurasia and<br />

Africa and is regarded as a weed.<br />

Weed-eating Goats do Pesticide Work in Canadian City<br />

After banning the use of herbicides in public parks, the city of Edmonton<br />

has brought in 400 goats to feast on unwanted weeds growing in<br />

greenspaces. They feasted on leafy spurge, an invasive species<br />

with bunched yellow flowers in Rundle Park. Edmonton banned<br />

herbicides and have used goats to keep the weeds at bay. “The<br />

fact that we give an environmentally conscious alternative to<br />

the use of herbicides, I think that is really something amazing<br />

that is about this project,” says Joy Lakhan, goat coordinator with<br />

the City of Edmonton. The best part about using goats is they have a<br />

special digestive tract that can reduce germination in some plants, plus they can<br />

gobble 10 pounds of weeds a day. When they’re young, the goats are trained to target<br />

key weed species that can be harmful to other plants and animals. Enzymes in their<br />

body can break down parts of plants that could irritate other livestock.<br />

FACTS<br />

New Heat System Turns Human Excrement into Fertilizer<br />

Innovative research from an Israel university has led to a process of using<br />

a specialized heating process to convert human excrement into fertilizer.<br />

Scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel discovered the<br />

process known as hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), which address two large<br />

challenges faced by developing countries: sanitation and a demand for energy.<br />

The HTC system heats raw human excrement in a specially designed “pressure<br />

cooker” and the emerging product is hydrochar: a biomass fuel that looks like<br />

charcoal. The study, published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, shows how<br />

HTC heats raw human excrement to 356°F, 410°F, and 464°F for 30, 60, and 120 minutes.<br />

The waste gets dehydrated and turns into hydrochar, which is sterile. Hydrochar can then<br />

be made into “coals” for heating and cooking, while the liquid can be used to make fertilizer<br />

because it’s rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.<br />

California Reigns as World’s Biggest Almond Producer<br />

If you buy almonds, chances are they were grown in California. The<br />

Golden State is the largest producer of the tasty drupes and America<br />

produces the most in the world. In fact, California is the only place in<br />

the US that commercially grows almonds. The state’s harvest is usually<br />

enough to feed the nation and export to other countries. The US<br />

produces more than two million tons of almonds every year. About 70<br />

per cent of American almonds are exported in shelled form, with the rest<br />

sold unshelled (an almond is like a peach but instead of the fruity part<br />

becoming fleshy, most of it sizes up in the kernel). The California area is<br />

perfect since almonds grow best in a mild climate with plenty of sunshine<br />

and fertile soils. Spain (200,000 tons), Iran (147,000 tons), and Morocco<br />

(112,000 tons) round out the top global almond-producing nations.<br />

Bacterial Resistance to Pesticides and Antibiotics Reaches Planetary Boundary<br />

A report suggests a group of bacteria has passed a planetary boundary (“safe operating space for<br />

humanity”) when it comes to resisting antibiotics and pesticides. Research from the journal Nature<br />

Sustainability concludes Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella, are resistant to<br />

all or most antibiotics tested. Lead researcher Peter Søgaard Jørgensen from the Royal Swedish<br />

Academy of Sciences and Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University suggests<br />

this type of resistance means societies will face large-scale agricultural and<br />

health crises. “It appears as if we have crossed a tipping point<br />

for Gram-negative bacteria, with doctors increasingly<br />

reporting untreatable infections. We now need to manage<br />

these ‘nightmare bacteria’ differently,” says Søgaard<br />

Jørgensen. Pesticide resistance is also a major concern,<br />

particularly resistance to glyphosate (the core<br />

ingredient in Roundup) and insecticidal Bt-toxins<br />

in transgenic crops. The research suggests some<br />

herbicides and Bt toxins have reached regional<br />

boundaries with some farming areas reporting<br />

large-scale resistance to these pesticides.<br />

Why Washing<br />

Lettuce Won’t<br />

Remove E. Coli Risk<br />

With the recent E. coli<br />

outbreak in the US<br />

and Canada, experts<br />

warn that washing<br />

lettuce won’t remove<br />

the potentially deadly<br />

bacteria. Even scrubbing<br />

the lettuce with baking<br />

soda and vinegar will not<br />

work. That’s because the<br />

bacteria can get trapped in<br />

“microscopic crevices,” says<br />

James Rogers, director of Food<br />

Safety and Research at Consumer<br />

Reports. Even pre-washed lettuce that’s been triple<br />

washed isn’t safe for consumption. Thinking about<br />

cooking your greens? Wilting lettuce can’t guarantee all<br />

the bacteria is gone. It takes just 10 E. coli cells for a person<br />

to get sick and, by way of comparison, a pinhead can hold 10<br />

billion cells. And organic lettuce doesn’t necessarily mean it’s free<br />

from potential contamination. E. coli symptoms include stomach<br />

cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. Some cases can be lifethreatening.<br />

An outbreak in April last year, also from Romaine<br />

lettuce, killed five people and infected 210 others across 36 states.<br />

Portland Named Best Foodie City in US<br />

Thanks in part to its abundance of farmers markets and communitysupported<br />

agriculture programs, Portland, OR, earned the title<br />

of Best Foodie City in a report from personal finance website<br />

Wallethub. Finishing second was San Francisco, followed by Miami.<br />

“Portland ranked first for several metrics including accessibility<br />

and affordability of high-quality restaurants and the lack of sales,<br />

food, and restaurant taxes. Portland also has the highest number<br />

of food trucks, craft breweries, wine bars,<br />

and coffee and tea shops per capita,”<br />

says Jill Gonzalez, an analyst with<br />

WalletHub. Portland boasts the<br />

fifth largest number of food<br />

markets and agriculture<br />

programs supported by<br />

the community. Another<br />

factor in the results<br />

was the number<br />

of employees<br />

in agricultural<br />

activities. That’s<br />

something<br />

Gonzalez notes<br />

can be improved in<br />

many cities. “Local<br />

authorities could<br />

support agriculture<br />

more and maybe<br />

even offer incentives<br />

to those who wish<br />

to go into farming<br />

or similar activities,”<br />

Gonzalez says.<br />

The SE 600 is a new grow<br />

light system from EYE<br />

Hortilux. The system<br />

maximizes plant growth<br />

for 600W HID lamp<br />

applications. Most system<br />

reflectors are too large for<br />

a 600W lamp and don’t<br />

spread the light efficiently.<br />

The SE 600, however, was<br />

designed with a smaller<br />

lamp in mind, so it’s a<br />

smaller, more focused<br />

reflector. This means all<br />

available light produced<br />

is directed onto the plant<br />

THE GOLDILOCKS<br />

GREENHOUSE<br />

Optimizing<br />

GREENHOUSE CLIMATE<br />

by Monica Mansfield<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>


When dialing in the climate in your<br />

greenhouse, think about Goldilocks.<br />

The temperature shouldn’t be too hot<br />

or too cold, the air shouldn’t be too<br />

moist or too dry, and the air shouldn’t<br />

be too stagnant or too breezy. Here’s<br />

how to get everything just right.<br />

Greenhouses are an excellent way to extend your<br />

growing season. They allow you to enjoy a warm<br />

oasis and eat fresh vegetables throughout the winter.<br />

However, if your greenhouse’s climate is not dialed in,<br />

you’ll have nothing more than a hot house full of shriveled<br />

plants with moisture dripping from the walls. When<br />

growing in a greenhouse, you take on Mother Nature’s job<br />

of creating the correct temperature, humidity, and air flow.<br />

Optimizing the climate in your greenhouse is essential,<br />

and there are many options and techniques to help you<br />

create this ideal environment.<br />

Temperature<br />

Greenhouses capture heat efficiently, even in the cold<br />

winter months. Your goal is to keep the temperature in the<br />

proper range for growing. In the summer, you’ll want to<br />

maintain your daytime temperature at about 75-85˚F and<br />

nighttime temperature at about 60-75˚F. In the winter, keep<br />

temperatures between 60-70˚F during the day and as low<br />

as 45-50˚F at night. The exact temperatures you maintain<br />

depend on the crops you grow and their preferences.<br />

Many factors influence the temperature in your greenhouse,<br />

including light, outside temperatures, and air flow.<br />

Four methods commonly used for cooling your greenhouse<br />

are shading, evaporative cooling, fogging systems,<br />

and thermal mass reservoirs.<br />

While shading is effective at reducing temperature, it<br />

also reduces the amount of light reaching your plants by<br />

50-60 per cent, which can inhibit growth rates. Sometimes,<br />

however, this trade-off is necessary to ensure your plants’<br />

survival. To create shading, you can purchase shade<br />

cloth, paint-on materials, or adhesive compounds that<br />

can be applied directly to the glass for a more permanent<br />

solution. There are also roll-up screens made of wood,<br />

aluminum, vinyl, or plastic that come with pulley and<br />

rope systems to allow for adjustment based on light and<br />

outside temperature. You can grow trees and plants next<br />

to the greenhouse as a source of shade too. You can even<br />

grow trees or trellis grapes inside your greenhouse to<br />

supply shade to other plants. The large size of the grape<br />

leaves have the additional benefit of acting as a natural<br />

evaporative cooling system.<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> 31


“THE EXACT TEMPERATURES<br />

YOU MAINTAIN DEPEND<br />

ON THE CROPS YOU GROW<br />

AND THEIR PREFERENCES.”<br />

Evaporative cooling systems, also<br />

known as swamp coolers, turn hot<br />

air into a cool breeze by passing air<br />

through a soaked screen, pad, or spray<br />

of water. These systems are most effective<br />

in environments with low humidity<br />

as they add moisture to the air.<br />

Fogging and misting systems are also<br />

often used to cool greenhouses. These<br />

two systems are similar in that they<br />

both spray water to cool the air. The<br />

main difference being the size of the<br />

water droplets. Foggers create a very<br />

fine mist, while misters spray larger<br />

water droplets. These systems can be<br />

put on a controller to spray water when<br />

temperatures get too high. While effective,<br />

the main drawbacks to these types<br />

of systems are excess humidity causing<br />

fungal issues within the greenhouse<br />

and clogged emitters from water with<br />

high mineral content.<br />

You can also control temperature by<br />

keeping a black reservoir filled with<br />

water in your greenhouse. During<br />

the day, the water will absorb heat.<br />

When it cools down at night, heat is<br />

released and warms up the greenhouse.<br />

This is the principle of thermal<br />

mass at work. You can even put your<br />

tank to good use and grow fish while<br />

you’re at it. As a rule of thumb, fill your<br />

reservoir with two to three gallons of<br />

water per square foot of greenhouse<br />

space. Finally, if you need to increase<br />

temperatures in the winter, you can<br />

use heaters or even wood stoves.<br />

Ventilation and Air Flow<br />

Air flow is essential for temperature<br />

control and fresh air exchange. Without<br />

fresh air, there will not be enough carbon<br />

dioxide for photosynthesis unless you<br />

install a CO 2 generator. Even with a<br />

generator, you’ll need fans to move air<br />

within the greenhouse to help prevent<br />

fungal disease.<br />

Vents, exhaust fans, and oscillating<br />

fans can be used for fresh air exchange<br />

and circulation. You can also install<br />

roof vents that need to be opened and<br />

closed throughout the day depending<br />

on the temperature. Roof vents are often<br />

operated by hand, but you can automate<br />

them with a thermostat controller to<br />

eliminate the manual work.<br />

Exhaust fans can also be set on a timer<br />

so air is exchanged as often as once per<br />

minute. If it is cold outside, you will want<br />

to exchange the air less often, about a<br />

few times per hour. You can also hook<br />

your fans up to a thermostat, so air is<br />

exchanged when temperatures start<br />

to rise. Mount these fans high on the<br />

end walls and make sure they have a<br />

protective hood so that rain is not blown<br />

into the greenhouse.<br />

Ceiling fans or oscillating fans keep<br />

air circulating within the greenhouse.<br />

This will control humidity levels and<br />

strengthen your plants’ stems, just as<br />

the wind strengthens plants outdoors.<br />

Finally, if you are going low-tech, you<br />

can install screened doors on the ends<br />

of your greenhouse to create cross-ventilation<br />

and prevent stagnant air.<br />

“CONTROLLING YOUR TEMPERATURE<br />

WILL ALSO HELP TO MANAGE MOISTURE<br />

LEVELS AS HEAT DRIES UP MOISTURE.”<br />

Humidity<br />

Humidity levels should be maintained between 70 and 85 per cent.<br />

When levels begin reaching 90 per cent and higher, growth slows,<br />

fungal diseases start to occur, and early bolting becomes<br />

a problem. Keep in mind it can be a challenge to measure<br />

humidity levels when air is constantly circulating. Placing<br />

multiple hygrometers around your greenhouse can help you<br />

get a more accurate reading.<br />

If humidity gets too high, you can add a dehumidifier to dry<br />

it out. You might also try pruning your plants. Leaves perform<br />

a process called transpiration in which they release moisture<br />

into the air from pores on their surface, so reducing the<br />

foliage should help reduce humidity levels. Proper ventilation<br />

and air circulation are also important keys to managing<br />

humidity levels in a greenhouse.<br />

So, open doors or vents to reduce<br />

humidity. Controlling your<br />

temperature will also help to<br />

manage moisture levels as heat dries up moisture.<br />

If you live in an arid environment and need to increase<br />

humidity, you can do this by spraying the floor with<br />

water or installing a misting system.<br />

Greenhouses can make a wonderful addition to your<br />

garden as long as they are managed properly. When you<br />

control your temperature, air circulation, and humidity,<br />

you can take advantage of extended growing seasons<br />

and eat fresh year-round.<br />

HOW<br />

s t<br />

UPTAKE WATER<br />

AND NUTRIENTS<br />

by Chris Bond<br />

Roots play an integral part in plant survival, whether it’s as an<br />

anchor or providing life-sustaining water and nutrients. Chris<br />

Bond explores just how roots do their job to keep plants alive.<br />

36<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>


most folks know what plant roots are and have a vague<br />

notion of some of the basic functions they perform. Of<br />

course, roots offer an anchorage system to keep plants in<br />

place, they store food for the plant in the forms of sugars,<br />

starches, and proteins, and roots send water and nutrients<br />

up into the plant. Root systems also play a role in vegetative<br />

reproduction in some plants. But not everyone knows just<br />

how the root system does these amazing things — all without<br />

anyone ever really seeing them in action.<br />

Root Anatomy<br />

There are two primary types of root systems — taproot systems<br />

and fibrous root systems. Both serve nearly identical purposes<br />

but in different ways. Plants with their respective root systems<br />

likely evolved based on the conditions of the native soil where<br />

they thrived, or as an adaptation to the types of roots that<br />

supported competing plants. Through site-specific evolution<br />

and human intervention, it is quite probable that in any<br />

typical landscape you will find plants with both kinds of roots<br />

growing in proximity to each other.<br />

p n a<br />

l ts<br />

with their respective root systems<br />

likely evolved based on the conditions<br />

of the native soil where they thrived, or<br />

as an adaptation to the types of roots<br />

that supported competing plants.”<br />

In taproot plants, the first root or proto-root that develops from<br />

the germinating seed is called the radicle. This type of root<br />

system is commonly found on most conifers, dicots, and seedbearing<br />

plants. It consists of a predominant root that forms<br />

from the radicle and grows downward. Other less dominant<br />

root branches will form off this tap root. Monocots primarily<br />

develop fibrous root systems, though there are exceptions.<br />

Fibrous roots are a dense mat of similarly-sized roots that do<br />

not venture as far away from the shoot of the plant. The radicle<br />

in monocots does not stick around for long; the first root that<br />

develops and holds the seed in place is aborted and replaced<br />

by others shortly thereafter, starting the process of developing<br />

the robust stitchwork of the fibrous root system.<br />

To peel back a further layer of roots and how they work, let’s<br />

start at the bottom. The end or tip of the root (on a taproot) is<br />

protected by a structure called the root cap. The root cap is a<br />

mass of hardened cells that are the tip of the spear, driving<br />

the root downward, protecting the layers behind it. Think of<br />

it as the nose of a space shuttle that can take the brunt of the<br />

resistance upon re-entry into the atmosphere.<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> 37


on c e<br />

Behind the root cap is the cortex, which makes up the bulk of<br />

the rest of the root. The cortex is loosely packed with cells and<br />

empty space, both of which store water and allow it to flow<br />

into the xylem vessels, sending water and dissolved nutrients<br />

to the above-ground shoot systems. Roots lack openings such<br />

as the stomata found in leaves. Rather, roots are covered in<br />

thin-walled cells, known as parenchyma cells, which act as a<br />

water-absorbing membrane. These are primarily found in the<br />

cortex of the root. This entire outer wall of the cortex is known<br />

as the epiblema and the main conduit for this transport at the<br />

center of the cortex is known as the endodermis. Unlike the<br />

rest of the cortex, the cells in the endodermis are more tightly<br />

arranged so water does not escape back into the cortex but<br />

can be sent on its merry way upwards through passage cells.<br />

However, this does not happen until the water and nutrients<br />

have passed the root system’s smell test. To that end, the<br />

endodermis is a plant guardian. If the plant has inadvertently<br />

absorbed any toxic material, the endodermis filters it out and<br />

rejects it. A waxy barrier known as the Casparian strip is the<br />

gatekeeper at play here. Proteins within the cells allow for<br />

the good compounds and molecules to pass, while toxins are<br />

weeded out and removed.<br />

Root hairs are an extension of the endodermis. These fine,<br />

long, and narrow projections grow out from mature roots,<br />

helping increase a root system’s ability to absorb moisture<br />

and nutrients by increasing the root system’s surface area,<br />

which increases contact between roots and soil.<br />

The stele, pericycle, conjunctive tissue, and vascular bundles<br />

round out some of the lineup that make up the typical root.<br />

If you really, really want to know more about the intricate<br />

functions of roots, or have a severe case of insomnia, look up<br />

“histogen theory” and/or “Quiescent Center.” For our purposes<br />

here, these go way beyond the realm of useful knowledge for<br />

the layman horticulturist, this author included.<br />

inside the roots or root cells, water<br />

and dissolved nutrients travel through<br />

different root pathways in one of two<br />

ways — either symplastic movement<br />

or apoplastic movement.”<br />

The Secret World of Roots<br />

Root systems are a network of connected botanical appendages<br />

whose entire mass can sometimes dwarf the aboveground<br />

portion of the plant it is supporting. It takes a lot of<br />

work behind the scenes to feed and care for all the flowers,<br />

fruits, and leaves getting most of the accolades. They don’t,<br />

however, work alone. The root (mostly below ground) and<br />

shoot (mostly above ground) systems work in unison in a<br />

positive feedback loop. Though an oversimplification of the<br />

process, it’s safe to say the photosynthesis work the leaves<br />

and greens do sends nutrients below to the root system, which<br />

is then able to expand and grow, sending more food and water<br />

upward so more leaves can be produced. Then more photosynthesis<br />

can occur, and more roots can develop and so on.<br />

Roots are constantly attracting and transporting water and<br />

dissolved nutrients from the medium they are in. Deep down<br />

in the root cells, a pressure builds. This root pressure creates<br />

a siphon-like action which forces water and nutrients up into<br />

the above-ground portions of the plant while water and nutrients<br />

from the surrounding soil are drawn into the root. This<br />

is due to the higher concentration of nutrients and minerals<br />

inside the root cells than in the soil environment around the<br />

root system. In addition to this force, moisture from the soil<br />

is continually being absorbed into the roots by the negative<br />

water potential within the root cells.<br />

Symplastic vs Apoplastic Movement<br />

of Water and Nutrients in Roots<br />

Once inside the roots or root cells, water and dissolved<br />

nutrients travel through different root pathways in one of<br />

two ways — either symplastic movement or apoplastic<br />

movement. Most water and nutrients move through the<br />

roots via apoplastic movement. When this happens,<br />

water does not actually enter the cells, but travels<br />

through the passages between cells. Think of this as<br />

a hallway connecting bedrooms. This is easier than<br />

traveling by symplasticity. With symplastic movement,<br />

water and nutrients must cross over a cell membrane to<br />

enter into the cytoplasm, a gelatinous material inside the<br />

cell. Water and nutrients must then travel upwards by<br />

moving through the cell walls. Think of this as gaining<br />

access to bedrooms through the adjoining walls instead<br />

of taking the hallway.<br />

To recap the process of water and<br />

nutrient uptake, we can reduce it to<br />

four basic steps:<br />

• Step 1: Water and dissolved<br />

nutrients enter the roots through<br />

the root hairs by the process of<br />

osmosis or root force.<br />

• Step 2: Water and dissolved<br />

nutrients then cross over the root<br />

cortex either through symplastic<br />

or apoplastic movements.<br />

• Step 3: Water and dissolved<br />

nutrients enter the xylem.<br />

• Step 4: Water and dissolved<br />

nutrients are sent up into the<br />

plant stem in the transpiration<br />

stream to deliver needed nutrition<br />

to all the shoots of the plant.<br />

These processes will go on so<br />

long as the plant is alive, and<br />

water and nutrients can be found<br />

in the soil. Periods of drought will<br />

slow down these actions and,<br />

in some cases, encourage root<br />

growth as plants seek deeper<br />

sources of water and nutrition.<br />

Mycorrhizae: Roots’ Fungal Friend<br />

Worthy of inclusion, though not a component of root anatomy or<br />

function proper, is mycorrhizae. This lauded beneficial fungus<br />

attaches itself to plant roots in a symbiotic embrace that can<br />

exponentially increase the reach of any particular root system.<br />

As many as 85 per cent of plants may owe all or some of their<br />

nutrient uptake capacity to mycorrhizae. The fungus not only<br />

gets fed while attaching itself to root systems, but acts as a<br />

force multiplier by increasing the reach of plant roots and the<br />

surface area of the root system. The hyphae, or tentacles of<br />

the fungus, are much smaller than even the root hairs and can<br />

therefore mine into much smaller crevices in search of nutrients.<br />

In addition to the basic and more complex functions described<br />

earlier, roots also serve to aerate the soil they are anchored in<br />

and can pull the plant closer to the dirt for protection from the<br />

elements. All of these and more are functions of roots in the care<br />

and feeding of the shoots.<br />

enzymes<br />

IN THE GARDEN<br />

Enzymes play a major role in plant health as they<br />

can increase nutrient uptake and help protect<br />

roots from pathogens. Eric Hopper explains why<br />

these tiny catalysts work so well in the garden.<br />

catalyst is defined as a substance that increases the<br />

A rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any<br />

permanent chemical change itself. One group of catalysts<br />

is found in every garden and provides countless benefits to<br />

plants. These catalysts are enzymes. Enzymes are highly<br />

selective catalysts made up of amino acids, proteins, or<br />

RNA (ribonucleic acid). Enzymes are biological molecules<br />

responsible for numerous chemical reactions which help<br />

to sustain all life. They differ from other catalysts in their<br />

selective nature as enzymes only react with their specific,<br />

predetermined substrate. The role an enzyme plays in<br />

these reactions is unique because the enzyme itself is not<br />

responsible for the reaction, but rather, the speed at which it<br />

occurs. Essentially, enzymes become a biological regulatory<br />

system for many of the chemical reactions that affect plant<br />

life and are an important connection between minerals,<br />

microbes, and biological creatures.<br />

40<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>


Enzyme Reactions are Specific<br />

Much like a puzzle piece, enzymes take on a certain shape to<br />

ensure only particular reactions will occur. The place on the<br />

enzyme where the reaction occurs is called the active site. This<br />

active site is like a keyhole and will only bind to a specific<br />

mineral or substrate that fits perfectly. The enzyme remains<br />

unchanged throughout the entire reaction process. After the<br />

reaction has occurred and the resulting chemical reactions<br />

have taken place, the enzyme is ready for a new reaction.<br />

Increasing the Rate of Reactions<br />

Like other catalysts, enzymes can increase the rate of<br />

chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy<br />

required for the given reaction. In other words, the presence<br />

of enzymes is what makes particle reaction happen at<br />

a faster rate. This is one of the reasons why enzyme formulas<br />

and products that indirectly add enzymes to a grow<br />

medium have become so popular among horticulturists. By<br />

supplementing specific enzymes or microorganisms that<br />

produce enzymes, horticulturists ensure they are maximizing<br />

the rate at which nutrient absorption can occur while<br />

helping protect the plants from pathogens.<br />

“<br />

It is the enzymes<br />

released by<br />

mycorrhizae that<br />

help make some of the<br />

hard-to-capture nutrients —<br />

such as organic nitrogen,<br />

phosphorus, and iron — available.”<br />

Temperature and pH Effect on Enzymes<br />

Enzymes, and the microorganisms that produce them, do not<br />

do well in extreme temperature conditions. Extremely hot or<br />

cold conditions will have a negative effect on enzymes and<br />

microorganisms. Many prepackaged soils are inoculated with<br />

beneficial microorganisms in the hopes they will produce<br />

the enzymes needed to accelerate chemical reactions in the<br />

soil. However, when a soil is shipped or stored in hot or cold<br />

conditions, the microorganism population can be negatively<br />

affected, thus adversely affecting their ability to produce beneficial<br />

enzymes. Some soil manufacturers have rectified this by<br />

adding moisture protectants in prepackaged soils to preserve<br />

the valuable microorganisms and the enzymes they produce.<br />

The pH of a soil or medium has little effect on the enzymes<br />

themselves as they can withstand a wide pH range. However,<br />

the pH of a soil or medium will limit a plant’s ability to uptake<br />

particular nutrients. Although the enzymes will still be able<br />

to carry out their functions, the plant itself may not be able to<br />

reap the rewards because of a pH range falling outside the<br />

range for nutrient absorption.<br />

Supplementing Enzymes in the Garden<br />

A horticulturist can supplement enzymes into a garden<br />

either directly or indirectly. There are specific enzyme<br />

formulas containing isolate enzymes. These are an example<br />

of direct enzyme supplementation. In some cases, an<br />

enzyme formula is comprised of a single isolated enzyme<br />

or a combination of multiple enzymes. Most of the isolated<br />

enzyme formulations are targeted at a plant’s root zone and<br />

aid in breaking down dead root matter while reducing the<br />

likelihood of pathogens, such as root rot.<br />

connection between<br />

minerals, microbes, and<br />

Beneficial Microorganisms<br />

Provide Enzymes<br />

An example of indirect enzyme<br />

supplementation is the use of beneficial<br />

microorganisms. Supplementing beneficial<br />

microorganisms into a medium or nutrient<br />

solution will indirectly increase the<br />

number of enzymes since the beneficial<br />

microorganisms produce the enzymes.<br />

Mycorrhizae are very popular beneficial<br />

microorganisms to be supplemented<br />

in a garden. The enzymes (including<br />

some hydrolytic enzymes) produced by<br />

mycorrhizae fungi are what makes them<br />

such assets to their synergistic plant<br />

partner. It is the enzymes released by<br />

mycorrhizae that help make some of the<br />

hard-to-capture nutrients — such as organic<br />

nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron — available.<br />

Trichoderma is another beneficial microorganism<br />

supplemented by horticulturists.<br />

As with mycorrhizae, the benefits derived<br />

are directly linked to the specific enzymes<br />

released. The enzymes released by trichoderma<br />

are called chitinase enzymes and<br />

their main role is to break down chitin.<br />

Chitin is the main component of fungal<br />

cell walls, which means the enzymes<br />

created by trichoderma can help protect a<br />

plant from pathogenic fungi. In fact, it is<br />

the chitinase enzymes produced by trichoderma<br />

that are responsible for trichoderma’s<br />

reputation in warding off pathogens.<br />

When pathogenic fungi exist in the<br />

soil, trichoderma will increase chitinase<br />

production, which, in turn, will attack the<br />

pathogen. Many indoor horticulturists are<br />

adding trichoderma as extra insurance<br />

against root-borne pathogens.<br />

Trichoderma also produces cellulase<br />

enzymes, which break down cellulose.<br />

Cellulase enzymes can add another level<br />

of protection for plants. The cellulase<br />

enzymes can penetrate the cells in the<br />

plant’s root system, instantly triggering<br />

the plant’s natural defenses and<br />

stimulating the plant’s metabolism. No<br />

real harm is done to the plant and the<br />

heightened response helps protect the<br />

plant from other pathogens.<br />

Whether a horticulturist supplements<br />

an isolated enzyme formula or the<br />

microorganisms producing the enzymes,<br />

the benefits of enzymes in the garden are<br />

undeniable. Considering nutrient uptake is<br />

dependent on multiple chemical reactions<br />

in the soil, and enzymes are the catalyst<br />

to increase the rate of those reactions, it<br />

is no wonder so many growers are relying<br />

on enzyme supplementation. As more is<br />

discovered about enzymes and how they<br />

can assist gardeners, the horticultural<br />

industry is sure to see even more enzymespecific<br />

additives, fertilizers, and pest<br />

control products emerge in the future.<br />

Combining Sunlight & Grow Lights:<br />

Supplemental<br />

Greenhouse Lighting<br />

by Kent Gruetzmacher<br />

Indoor and outdoor growing are no<br />

longer distinct schools of thought.<br />

Greenhouse cultivators have<br />

combined the practices to create<br />

a new, more cost-effective method<br />

that uses both sunlight and grow<br />

lights to power crop production.<br />

Once considered two distinct schools of thought in<br />

horticulture, the line between indoor and outdoor<br />

cultivation is being blurred. Highly sophisticated,<br />

year-round greenhouses are at the forefront of this<br />

fusion movement as they utilize the best practices of<br />

both methodologies in a creative give and take. These<br />

operations utilize the sun’s energy to power essential<br />

plant functions while implementing indoor growing<br />

technologies like light sensors, blackout tarp systems,<br />

dehumidifiers, and industrial heaters to mimic indoor<br />

environmental controls in outdoor settings.<br />

Perhaps the most vital technological application<br />

in these modern-day greenhouses is that of<br />

supplemental lighting. In indoor gardening, lighting<br />

is one of the most important factors dictating the<br />

outcome of a harvest. However, it is also one of the<br />

costliest elements of an operation, with an overhead<br />

of at least $400 per unit for 1,000W double-ended high<br />

pressure sodium (HPS) lights and $800 per unit for<br />

comparable light emitting diodes (LEDs). Taken to<br />

a commercial scale, this overhead can prove quite<br />

intimidating as it is solely up to these artificial<br />

light sources to feed every square inch of a massive<br />

garden canopy. Then there is the astronomical cost of<br />

running the lights in these large-scale set-ups. Some<br />

10,000-square-foot warehouse grows have reported<br />

power bills to the tune of $12,000 monthly.<br />

However, modern greenhouses use best practices from<br />

both indoor and outdoor cultivation. When it comes to<br />

lighting, this means employing a careful balance of<br />

sunlight and supplemental light. It’s revolutionizing the<br />

way in which people grow crops outdoors.<br />

To give us some expert insight into supplemental lighting<br />

applications for greenhouses, <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> reached<br />

out to Brendan Strath, senior solutions director and grow<br />

ninja for Spectrum King LED, a company that makes fullspectrum<br />

LED grow lights. Here is what Strath had to say.<br />

How important has supplemental lighting become in greenhouse<br />

cultivation and what are its primary benefits?<br />

Supplemental greenhouse lighting is now an essential<br />

part of outdoor farming. It allows growers to keep crop<br />

production going on short winter days and bad weather<br />

days by providing a consistent light source in the greenhouse.<br />

Production costs are greatly reduced by combining<br />

sunlight with supplemental lighting. Each light is not on<br />

full-power all day (when sunlight is at its strongest) and<br />

greenhouse lighting grids generally spread lights out<br />

more than with indoor growing. As such, lights run less,<br />

and they cover a greater square footage, greatly reducing<br />

costs per square foot of canopy.<br />

“<br />

<strong>Modern</strong> greenhouses use best practices<br />

from both indoor and outdoor cultivation.”<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> 45


What would you say is the biggest benefit of supplemental<br />

lighting in greenhouse growing?<br />

For me, the use of supplemental lighting in greenhouse<br />

growing has its largest impact concerning carbon footprints.<br />

“<br />

By<br />

keeping production costs down through<br />

greenhouse growing, we can offer fresher<br />

and healthier food and medicine.”<br />

<strong>Modern</strong> greenhouse cultivation with the bonus of supplemental<br />

lighting truly diversifies horticultural applications outdoors.<br />

Plus, as Strath mentioned, this form of growing is also economically<br />

viable and more environmentally friendly. With this sort<br />

of best practice, technological advancements have allowed<br />

greenhouse growers to devise cultivation methods that can<br />

realistically sustain the industry well into the future. Finally,<br />

novice and expert growers alike can use supplemental lighting<br />

to produce fresh medicines and crops all year round.<br />

Using the greatest light source in the world (the sun) for the<br />

heavy lifting and just supplementing a few hours a day when<br />

sunlight intensity is low is a much greener way of producing<br />

crops than with straight indoor growing. Also, with this<br />

method, you can produce quality crops all year round with<br />

lower production costs.<br />

Is the use of supplemental lighting more prominent with growers<br />

in certain regions of the United States than others? If so, why?<br />

That’s a great question and one that is often overlooked. Yes,<br />

at first-glance some regions are better suited for greenhouse<br />

growing than others. Any geographies with extreme weather<br />

conditions (a.k.a. cold, wind, snow, etc.) are perfect for greenhouses;<br />

they offer environmental protections for crops while<br />

utilizing sunlight. Grows in those regions without consistent<br />

sun also benefit the most from supplemental lighting.<br />

However, with a little thought and ingenuity, you can do well<br />

with greenhouse cultivation just about anywhere on Earth.<br />

Many see automated greenhouse growing as the “future of the<br />

industry” because it utilizes controlled environment agriculture<br />

with the added perk of sunlight. What are your thoughts on this?<br />

I couldn’t agree more with that statement. Whether it’s medical<br />

crops or food production, people want healthier choices that<br />

are also cost effective. By keeping production costs down<br />

through greenhouse growing, we can offer fresher and healthier<br />

food and medicine. To me, that’s an obvious no-brainer.<br />

Hard or Soft:<br />

KNOW YOUR GARDEN<br />

WATER<br />

by Bryan Traficante & Wiley Geren<br />

Not all water is the same and what<br />

type of water — whether hard or<br />

soft — is flowing through the pipes in<br />

your house might be impacting how<br />

well or poorly your garden is doing.<br />

o you know what type of water is<br />

Dflowing through your house and<br />

hose spigot? If you don’t, it’s easy to<br />

figure out. Next time you take a shower,<br />

pay attention to how your skin feels<br />

afterwards. Do you feel slippery, or do<br />

you feel squeaky? If you feel slippery,<br />

then you have soft water. If you feel<br />

squeaky, then you have hard water. Does<br />

hard or soft water make a difference to<br />

your garden plants? As part of a plant’s<br />

holy trinity – water, sun, soil – you<br />

need to know what kind of water you<br />

are using. If you have been having a<br />

tough time getting anything to grow<br />

in your garden and have checked your<br />

soil and sun, then the problem could be<br />

your water. But what is the difference<br />

between hard water and soft water?<br />

HARD WATER<br />

No, hard water doesn’t mean it’s mixed<br />

with alcohol. Hard water is comprised<br />

of dissolved minerals – the majority of<br />

which are calcium (Ca), magnesium<br />

(Mg), and lime. Unless you have a water<br />

softening system, hard water (to varying<br />

degrees of hardness) is the standard<br />

type that flows through public and<br />

private systems. Once again, there is an<br />

easy way to tell if you have hard water.<br />

If, over time, white/pink scum builds up<br />

on your household fixtures (sinks, bathtubs,<br />

toilets, etc.), then you have hard<br />

water. Those buildups are caused by the<br />

minerals slowly collecting. However,<br />

that does not mean hard water is bad<br />

for you or your garden.<br />

“<br />

SOFT WATER<br />

Soft water is treated, or softened, with sodium which<br />

removes the minerals. That’s why your skin feels slippery<br />

after showering with soft water and why glassware<br />

looks cleaner after washing with it. The minerals that<br />

build up on your skin have been removed, so there’s<br />

nothing to wipe off. To remove the minerals, water is<br />

treated with sodium in a system usually set up somewhere<br />

within your residence. Soft water systems are<br />

often installed in areas where there is a high amount<br />

of minerals in the water that may affect the plumbing,<br />

or simply because some people prefer the taste and<br />

feel of soft water over hard water. It may not leave<br />

buildup or residue on your fixtures and skin, but that<br />

does not mean soft water is good for your garden.<br />

PROS AND CONS<br />

FOR GARDENING<br />

The simple answer: Treated soft water<br />

has little to offer your garden except<br />

plant-killing sodium. Although only<br />

trace amounts of sodium are present<br />

in soft water, it can build up over<br />

time in the soil. After enough<br />

builds up, the sodium causes<br />

your plants to die of thirst. If<br />

you are worried this is the<br />

case now, you should leach<br />

your soil. This is done by<br />

watering thoroughly and<br />

frequently, which basically<br />

washes away the sodium<br />

buildup. However, you’ll<br />

also be washing away some<br />

nutrients and minerals<br />

that are vital to your<br />

garden’s nourishment.<br />

Treated soft water has little to offer your<br />

garden except plant-killing sodium.”<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>


If you leach your soil, make sure you replace<br />

the mineral/nutrient content afterwards with an<br />

additive or fertilizer.<br />

Hard water provides your garden with useful<br />

mineral content and doesn’t have the excess<br />

sodium of treated soft water. Calcium and<br />

Magnesium are vital to a plant’s growth but can<br />

be harmful in large doses. Too much can cause<br />

chlorosis – a yellowing of the leaves which is a<br />

symptom of sickness. To prevent sickness like<br />

chlorosis, use a raised garden bed that provides<br />

better drainage. Excess minerals will leach from<br />

the soil naturally, be rebalanced with<br />

the minerals in your hard water, and<br />

your garden will be much happier.<br />

“Hard water provides your<br />

garden with useful mineral<br />

content and doesn’t have<br />

the excess sodium of<br />

treated soft water.”<br />

WHICH SHOULD I USE<br />

FOR MY GARDEN?<br />

This is a trick question because the best<br />

option for your garden isn’t hard water or<br />

soft water, but rain water. Rain water, while<br />

technically soft water, lacks the sodium of<br />

treated water and won’t lead to that excess<br />

mineral build-up hard water can bring. Rain<br />

water is friendly to plants and, conveniently,<br />

can be collected in rain barrels for use in<br />

your garden. If you don’t want to collect and<br />

use rain water, the next best option for<br />

your garden is hard water.<br />

LIGHT LEAKS<br />

AND SEALED GROWROOMS<br />

by Kent Gruetzmacher<br />

Light leaks in your sealed growroom can<br />

be disastrous for some kinds of plants.<br />

They can also be a sign that more than<br />

just light is getting in, including pests<br />

and other environmental variables.<br />

When planning and setting up indoor gardens,<br />

growers spend time and money in the creation<br />

of environments where plant species thrive. For sealed<br />

growrooms, this process represents a careful balancing<br />

act between temperature, humidity, light, and CO 2.<br />

However, once an indoor grow is operational, these<br />

synthetic environments create challenges for growers<br />

that are non-existent in the natural world. The reaction<br />

of indoor plants to light leaks during dark periods (nighttime)<br />

presents one of these unusual phenomena.<br />

Certain species of plants are subject to photoperiodism,<br />

in which the varying duration of light cycles between day<br />

and night cause plants to enter new phases of growth.<br />

To illustrate, uninterrupted 12-hour periods of darkness<br />

(nighttime) causes some plant species to start flowering.<br />

This process occurs when a hormone called photochrome<br />

reacts to sunlight intensity and durations, directing plants<br />

towards the different phases of growth.<br />

“It’s a good idea for cultivators to regularly<br />

check their growrooms to make sure they are<br />

100 PER CENT<br />

DARK DURING THE NIGHTTIME PERIOD.”<br />

If a sealed growroom is not 100 per cent dark during the<br />

nighttime period, photoperiodism cycles can be interrupted,<br />

causing photochrome imbalances as related to specific plant<br />

processes. These hormonal imbalances can have negative<br />

and sometimes detrimental effects on an indoor harvest.<br />

For those looking to avoid issues with light leaks in their<br />

sealed growrooms, consider the following points:<br />

Inconsistencies and Stress<br />

Indoor gardeners should always strive for consistency in<br />

their growroom environments. Most crops perform best in<br />

stable environments, and bountiful harvests are the result<br />

of constant environmental balance — including stable<br />

lighting intervals — during both vegetative growth and<br />

flowering. A common misconception amongst indoor growers<br />

is that light leaks during the vegetative growth phase won’t<br />

disrupt crop growth. However, any irregularities in lighting<br />

patterns can stress plants out. Along this line of thought, all<br />

environmental stressors inhibit essential plant functions,<br />

such as nutrient uptake, and retard growth.<br />

Light leaks can also prove troublesome regarding<br />

photochrome levels in plants, as unexpected or irregular<br />

doses of light can alter stable hormonal conversion processes.<br />

During flowering phases, excess light during dark periods can<br />

push photochrome activity to the point of converting a plant<br />

back into vegetative growth.<br />

Hermaphrodites<br />

One of the most widely known negative side effects of<br />

growroom light seepage has to do with the transformation<br />

of female plants into hermaphrodites. For those looking to<br />

grow seed-free flowering plant varietals, hermaphrodites can<br />

prove devastating for a crop. This is because male flowers on<br />

a single plant can pollinate an entire growroom and greatly<br />

devalue a harvest.<br />

Expert horticulturists agree that certain plant species<br />

turn hermaphrodite as a result of environmental<br />

stressors, and light leaks are notorious for being<br />

associated with this phenomenon. However, it should be<br />

noted that the occasional beam of light on a garden from<br />

a headlamp won’t cause plants to “herm.” While indoor<br />

growers should strive to avoid any disruptions in regular<br />

light cycles, it takes rather consistent light exposure to<br />

force a plant into hermaphrodite growth. These sorts<br />

of leaks come from constant sources, such as under<br />

doorways and walls, that occur on a daily basis.<br />

Light Leaks Mean Other Leaks<br />

Indoor growers can be assured that if their sealed<br />

growroom is leaking light, it has issues with other leaks.<br />

Seasoned cultivators go to great lengths to ensure that<br />

their sealed gardens are functioning at their best when<br />

it comes to atmosphere, temperature, and sterility.<br />

All these contingencies are compromised with an<br />

improperly sealed growroom.<br />

If leakage issues arise, growers sacrifice the total<br />

environmental control that is so essential in sealed<br />

room growing. With this issue comes potential<br />

problems with maintaining ideal, static levels of<br />

temperature, humidity, and CO 2. Moreover, as sealed<br />

rooms are wholly dependent upon CO 2 injection<br />

technology, the regular loss of CO 2 to leaks is<br />

financially burdensome and operationally threatening.<br />

If light leaks can penetrate the confines of a sealed<br />

garden, so can airborne pathogens. As such, it is<br />

virtually impossible to fully sterilize an indoor grow if<br />

bugs and spores (of powdery mildew and botrytis) can<br />

continuously access the grow space via leaks.<br />

<strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong>


Locating Light Leaks<br />

Many indoor growers don’t know that their rooms have<br />

light leaks until it is too late, and the problem expresses<br />

itself by way of hermaphrodites and seeded flowers. As<br />

a result, it’s a good idea for cultivators to regularly check<br />

their growrooms to make sure they are 100 per cent dark<br />

during the nighttime period.<br />

To inspect an indoor garden for light leaks, it’s best to<br />

enter the grow with a green light when the primary lights<br />

are off. Once situated in the garden, turn off the green<br />

light and sit still for a while to let your eyes adjust to the<br />

blackness. At this point, it should be easy to canvass the<br />

walls and ceilings of the room and discern any potential<br />

points of light leak trouble. Also, this inspection process<br />

should be done during various parts of the day, as<br />

different angles of sunlight outside can cause light leaks<br />

during isolated time frames.<br />

Gardeners should also be advised that control panels<br />

on grow equipment, such as atmospheric controllers<br />

and AC units, often give off light. This light is usually<br />

red or green and is residual from the digital readout.<br />

As such, it is recommended that growers cover up<br />

these light sources with electrical tape or some sort of<br />

removable opaque material.<br />

“Most crops<br />

PERFORM<br />

BEST<br />

IN STABLE<br />

ENVIRONMENTS.”<br />

Compared to any other form of controlled environment<br />

agriculture, sealed-room growing provides the most mastery<br />

over environmental factors. However, these growrooms<br />

present novel challenges of their own, as seen with the issues<br />

surrounding light leaks. For the conscientious gardener,<br />

regular inspections of one’s garden should alleviate any light<br />

leak problems. All things considered, this knowledge will<br />

provide a better platform for troubleshooting on the macrolevel<br />

moving forward.<br />

enjoy certain perks of their respective<br />

summer skies, breathing fresh air with<br />

their hands in the dirt. For outdoor<br />

growers practicing organic cultivation,<br />

these natural environments blend<br />

seamlessly with a deep appreciation for<br />

the living biologics of soil growing.<br />

Looking at the perks of both indoor<br />

and outdoor growing, one must ask:<br />

Can’t I enjoy the benefits of both? While<br />

it goes without saying that indoor<br />

cultivators can’t enjoy the freshness of<br />

the outdoors, who says outdoor growers<br />

can’t make their lives easier with some<br />

technological advancements? With<br />

that, <strong>Maximum</strong> <strong>Yield</strong> decided to look<br />

into automation options for outdoor soil<br />

gardens to ensure that, over the long<br />

summer, outdoor gardeners have ample<br />

time to bask in the rays of the summer<br />

sun. For those outdoor enthusiasts<br />

looking for a technological boost in<br />

their operations, here are a few options.<br />

CONTROLLERS<br />

ARE THE<br />

ESSENTIAL<br />

ELEMENT<br />

Controllers<br />

Advancements in digital control<br />

technology for controlled environment<br />

agriculture have made controllers, or<br />

“brains,” an essential tool in modern<br />

gardening, both indoors and outdoors.<br />

For indoor growing, controllers have<br />

taken the thinking process out of<br />

mundane, yet easy to forget, chores like<br />

setting lighting timers and regulating<br />

temperatures. Similarly, for tech savvy<br />

outdoor growers, the fluidity and easeof-use<br />

of these smart-products is too<br />

tough to resist. While most smart indoor<br />

garden technology sets forth to regulate<br />

ambient environments, automated<br />

systems for outdoor growing focus<br />

solely on irrigation.<br />

Controllers are the essential element<br />

in transitioning an outdoor soil garden<br />

from a hand watering or drip system<br />

to a smart irrigation program. Utilizing<br />

cutting-edge computer technology in<br />

conjunction with touch screen displays,<br />

controllers send precisely dictated<br />

electronic signals to components in<br />

the physical figurations of irrigation<br />

infrastructures (see next section). With<br />

electronic integration, these smart<br />

controls regulate valves relating to<br />

both nutrient and water dispersal in<br />

the macro-irrigation system. The more<br />

sophisticated of these controllers<br />

can be programmed to mix up to 20<br />

different fertilizer feeding regiments,<br />

simultaneously, for a single garden.<br />

The ease-of-use for smart irrigation<br />

controllers is tied to both their<br />

technological perks and practical<br />

applications. Generally,<br />

in transitioning an outdoor soil<br />

garden from a hand watering or drip<br />

system to a smart irrigation program.”<br />

controls are the most<br />

beneficial for outdoor<br />

cultivators as relating to<br />

timing and consistency,<br />

they can be set on<br />

digital timers or light<br />

sensors for automated<br />

irrigation on a daily<br />

basis. As<br />

many plant<br />

species thrive<br />

on consistent<br />

watering and<br />

environments,<br />

the precision<br />

of controllers makes them a serious<br />

value-add for outdoor commercial<br />

operations. Also, many controllers<br />

feature “cloud-based capabilities,”<br />

in which a grower can monitor and<br />

change irrigation and nutrient levels<br />

from their smart phones or computers.<br />

As such — and if implemented<br />

correctly, outdoor soil growers can alter<br />

irrigation practices from afar — this<br />

perk is particularly notable concerning<br />

changing weather and temperature<br />

patterns. All things considered,<br />

controllers can add efficiency and<br />

stability in outdoor gardening practices<br />

that are notorious for getting off<br />

schedule due to human error.<br />

It’s worth noting outdoor growers<br />

must be diligent in taking care of<br />

controllers, as sun, dirt, and dust can<br />

easily damage these somewhat fragile<br />

pieces of technology. Controllers<br />

should be well-mounted in a protected,<br />

low-traffic area, ideally within a metal<br />

or wooden box.<br />

Fertigation Injectors<br />

For both indoor and outdoor growers,<br />

fertigation injection systems have<br />

become a staple of ease and efficiency.<br />

Traditionally, water-based fertilization<br />

processes have been hinged on the<br />

labor-intensive practice of manually<br />

mixing nutrients in reservoirs or<br />

holding tanks. For commercial sized<br />

operations, this demanding and<br />

tedious chore often involves the<br />

mixing of thousands of gallons of<br />

water at a time, multiple times a day.<br />

However, with some ingenuity and<br />

careful planning, the engineers behind<br />

fertigation injectors have developed<br />

a product which nearly eliminates<br />

the painstaking chore of hand mixing<br />

water-soluble fertilizers.<br />

As discussed in the previous section,<br />

smart controllers can be implemented<br />

in conjunction with fertigation injectors,<br />

creating a highly efficient and precise<br />

system for outdoor soil irrigation. In<br />

layman’s terms, the controller dictates<br />

the operations of several pressurized<br />

valve systems that are fed from<br />

separate containers of nutrients. The<br />

controller also regulates water pressure<br />

from the primary water source. When<br />

the irrigation process begins, water<br />

flows through a pipe that is integrated<br />

with the nutrient valve system, then the<br />

fertigation injector releases nutrients<br />

into the water flow in conjunction with<br />

specific levels of water pressure. When<br />

operating and balanced correctly, the<br />

fertigation and controller combination<br />

delivers precisely measured, nutrientrich<br />

water into soil containers — with<br />

little human effort.<br />

For good reason, outdoor commercial<br />

cultivators have come to cherish the<br />

ease-of-use of fertigation injectors. For<br />

outdoor growers committed to a six- to<br />

seven-month growing season, automation<br />

options like fertigation literally<br />

eliminate hundreds of hours of unnecessary<br />

labor in manual nutrient mixing.<br />

The precision of fertigation is entirely<br />

unmatched by human effort; top-ofthe-line<br />

injectors disperse carefully<br />

controlled amounts of nutrients down to<br />

five milliliters per injection<br />

For economically and<br />

environmentally conscious cultivators,<br />

the precision afforded by fertigation<br />

injectors brings significant savings on<br />

both water and fertilizer use compared<br />

to traditional hand-mixing methods.<br />

Because hand mixing nutrients in<br />

large reservoirs always leads to an<br />

excess of leftover water that generally<br />

cannot be reused — this problem<br />

is non-existent with the strict<br />

controls of fertigation.<br />

Drip Systems<br />

While drip watering components don’t<br />

necessarily fall into the automation<br />

category, they are an essential element<br />

in any smart irrigation plan for the<br />

outdoors, especially concerning organic<br />

growing. With that, the controller and<br />

fertigation injector combination feed<br />

nutrient-rich water through hoses or<br />

pipes, and finally into soft-plastic tubes<br />

that should be embedded deep in the<br />

soil of each garden container.<br />

Since outdoor growing containers<br />

are generally far larger in size than<br />

their indoor counterparts (Smart Pots<br />

can range up to 1,000 gallons in size),<br />

top drip systems work inefficiently for<br />

outdoor growing. Concentrated drips<br />

of water in such large containers leave<br />

a clear majority the soil unirrigated,<br />

leading to several serious problems.<br />

Therefore, to effectively deliver water<br />

and nutrients, automated outdoor<br />

irrigation systems must utilize long<br />

lengths of perforated irrigation tubing<br />

that is coiled around inside the<br />

soil-filled container. With this method,<br />

fertilization will be accomplished in a<br />

uniform fashion, and organic soils<br />

will retain the requisite moisture<br />

content to maintain the integrity of their<br />

biological communities.<br />

In utilizing some of the automation<br />

perks from indoor gardening, and<br />

adding some necessary tweaks, outdoor<br />

cultivators can enjoy the benefits of<br />

cutting-edge irrigation technology. For<br />

commercial-sized operations, the benefits<br />

of smart equipment like controllers<br />

and fertigation injectors far outweigh<br />

financial costs. Looking forward, one<br />

can only assume outdoor growers will<br />

continue to combine their passions for<br />

soil growing with the modern gardening<br />

technologies, making for a practice that<br />

utilizes the best of both worlds.<br />

“<br />

FOR ECONOMICALLY<br />

AND ENVIRONMENTALLY<br />

CONSCIOUS CULTIVATORS,<br />

the precision afforded by<br />

fertigation injectors brings<br />

significant savings on both water<br />

and fertilizer use compared to<br />

traditional hand-mixing methods.”<br />

herb garden<br />

by Becky Evans<br />

While home (and garden) ownership these days is<br />

unattainable for many, it doesn’t mean apartment dwellers<br />

can’t reap some gardening rewards. Becky Evans explains<br />

how to create an indoor herb garden that will satisfy your<br />

green thumb and complement your meals.<br />

Let’s face it. A lot of people these days live in apartments, and the dream<br />

of owning a house with a garden is only attainable for the lucky few.<br />

However, with some clever interior design tricks, you can create a garden<br />

space within your kitchen and reap the benefits of fresh,<br />

healthy herbs grown in the comfort of your apartment.<br />

Choose an Optimal Location<br />

The obvious location for your indoor herb garden<br />

is on the inside window sill. So long as you can<br />

nourish your herbs with a minimum of four<br />

hours of direct sunlight daily, this is the best<br />

option. Getting this essential sunlight can be<br />

easier said than done, and apartments on<br />

lower floors might struggle to get enough<br />

light. If you are lucky enough to get direct<br />

sunlight, don’t forget to turn your herb pots<br />

every three days so they grow evenly.<br />

If you can’t find enough natural light<br />

for your plants to flourish, you will need<br />

to consider a grow light, which can be<br />

purchased online or at a garden center.<br />

Place the lamp beside your herbs to give<br />

them between four to six hours of light a day.<br />

Three Essential Herbs to Plant<br />

You want a variety of herbs that will add a<br />

special touch to meals that you regularly cook,<br />

and you want herbs that look impressive too.<br />

“You can create a garden space<br />

within your kitchen and reap the<br />

benefits of fresh, Healthy herbs.”<br />

BASIL—No self-respecting herb garden can grow proud without basil. This<br />

sweet-tasting, popular herb has an anise, clove-esque aroma. Use it fresh or dried<br />

in a wide selection of different meals, from a classic Bolognese to a tasty accompaniment<br />

with a salmon dish. Basil comes jam-packed with vitamins A, K,<br />

and C, as well as magnesium, iron, and calcium.<br />

CHIVE—Similar to onions and garlic, growing chives can ward off insect<br />

pests like mosquitos from your herb garden. What’s more, chives are full<br />

of bacteria-fighting antibiotics from their high sulfur content. Chives<br />

also are a natural anti-inflammatory; they’re nature’s ibuprofen.<br />

CORIANDER—Regarded as an essential in any herb garden, coriander<br />

(also commonly known as cilantro) punches above its weight. It is high<br />

in vitamin C and can aid digestion, relieve inflammation, and balance<br />

blood sugar levels. Its potent flavor and smell makes a perfect seasoning<br />

for meats, salsas, and oriental dishes. Also, coriander seeds add<br />

warmth and spice to chicken, vegetables, and soups.<br />

Choose and Prepare Pots<br />

It is essential that you get pots that can drain well. Start by<br />

filling your pot with a potting mix, leaving a half inch of soil<br />

between the top of the pot and the potting mix. You can find a<br />

lot of funky vintage pots online or you could upcycle some old<br />

furniture. Once you have your pots, you can plant your herb<br />

seeds and water them thoroughly. Allow them to drain until<br />

they stop dripping, then place the pots on the windowsill with<br />

a tray underneath to catch any last drips of water.<br />

Kitchen Garden Maintenance<br />

Herbs are a sensitive bunch and they will need tender loving<br />

care to survive. A snip here and a prune there is essential<br />

for a bigger harvest and sturdier herbs. Remember to cut<br />

any new growth a minimum of once per week and when<br />

new stems grow out.<br />

Turn your pots at regular intervals, especially if they<br />

are directly in front of a sunny window. This will make<br />

sure that they grow evenly and prevents the side in the<br />

shade from undue neglect.<br />

Of the most important things to remember, watering is<br />

a priority. Place small gravel in a tray and put your herb<br />

pots on the tray. Fill the tray up to the top with water<br />

once per week. Your herbs will absorb what they need<br />

from the bottom of the pots.<br />

Keep an eye on your herb garden. In time, you will notice<br />

when your herbs are dehydrated or need more light as they<br />

change color and appearance. Once they are thriving, you<br />

can take pride in cutting a few herbs from your windowsill to<br />

complement your favorite meals.<br />

“ Being a grower and thinking like a grower,<br />

I CREATED PRODUCTS OUT OF NECESSITY.”<br />

How did you get into this industry?<br />

HYDROPONIC RESEARCH:<br />

<strong>Growing</strong> up in Escondido, CA in a humble home that sat<br />

on a plot of highly fertile land, (Hydroponic Research<br />

founder) Christopher Larose began developing an interest<br />

in agriculture at a young age. His father taught him how<br />

to care for a variety of plants such as peppers, oranges,<br />

peaches, tomatoes, lettuce, roses, avocados, pears, and<br />

kiwis. As a young adult, he became fascinated with<br />

botany and soil chemistry and began experimenting with<br />

hydroponic gardening, absorbing as much information as<br />

possible from interactions with other hydroponic farmers,<br />

books, and other resources. Frustrated by the absence of<br />

an all-phase hydroponic nutrient that could provide all<br />

necessary nutrients throughout the life cycle of a plant, he<br />

set out to generate an easy-to-use, yet powerful formula that<br />

complemented both tap water and reverse osmosis (RO)<br />

water sources. Encouraged by growers who were astounded<br />

by the performance of his formula, Larose finally decided<br />

to make his premium hydroponic nutrient and outstanding<br />

solution available to hydroponic farmers throughout the<br />

United States. In 2010, he set up a laboratory and warehouse<br />

space in San Diego and began conducting experiments<br />

to perfect Hydroponic Research’s VEG+BLOOM formula.<br />

Sharing it and demonstrating it among other hydroponic<br />

gardeners, the formula reached a stage of maturity in 2011 and<br />

became available to interested buyers. Realizing that there<br />

is still room for growth in hydroponic gardening, Hydroponic<br />

Research continues to innovate and experiment with new<br />

hydroponic solutions in their San Diego laboratories.<br />

SOLSTICE GARDEN SUPPLY:<br />

In 2014, Zack Vondrak (formerly of<br />

Aptus, Advanced) met Larose at a<br />

meeting in San Diego and realized<br />

the potential for a comprehensive<br />

powder nutrient line. He asked<br />

Patrick Kanzler (the former GM of<br />

Humboldt Wholesale, a.k.a. House<br />

and Garden) to help him with the venture. After testing the<br />

nutrient line personally, Kanzler recognized the revolutionary<br />

technology present in the formulas. With their combined experience<br />

in sales, marketing, and distribution, they made the<br />

perfect team to bring VEG+BLOOM to market on a large scale.<br />

What were the start-up years like?<br />

HYDROPONIC RESEARCH:<br />

Hard. Being a grower and thinking like a grower, I created<br />

products out of necessity. I needed simple and complete — less<br />

guessing and more growing. It was easy to overlook that store<br />

owners selling liquids were less interested in one product not<br />

require multiple things to work.<br />

What were some of your struggles as you started the<br />

business? How did you overcome them?<br />

From being nobody in this industry and becoming somebody.<br />

It was a unique obstacle. Scaling up and learning to be a<br />

manufacturer and what is required to refine a product and<br />

maintain consistency. I had to develop relationships ranging<br />

from pharmaceutical suppliers, food ingredient distributors,<br />

and industrial engineers. It was a lot of work. Many companies<br />

are formed from capitalist concerns. We were able to grow as a<br />

company from the need to develop tools we use ourselves.<br />

“ WE HAVE THE BEST SALES<br />

REPS IN THE INDUSTRY.<br />

We hand-picked them and waited<br />

for the right guys to join us.”<br />

How did you gain market share and recognition?<br />

We gained market share in the early days by sharing it<br />

with growers and discussing the formula on forums and<br />

with local growers. As independent thinkers discovered<br />

our products, we developed a cult following. This became<br />

the seed that grew into our present-day customer base.<br />

SOLSTICE GARDEN SUPPLY:<br />

In 2015 it was really tough to bring a relatively new nutrient<br />

line to market. We approached our contacts at many stores<br />

to help us launch but we were met with indifference. No one<br />

wanted a product they hadn’t heard of and customers didn’t<br />

ask for. While the industry relationships are still valuable,<br />

we understood that we needed to create a demand for the<br />

product first. Only then would stores choose to stock the line.<br />

We came up with an innovative strategy for 2015. We<br />

would openly market toward cannabis growers. We<br />

recognized the growing popularity of Instagram among<br />

growers and started posting pictures of cannabis<br />

grown with the product. We leveraged the existing cult<br />

following and began co-branding with growers. At that<br />

time, growers were only starting to think about branding<br />

and marketing themselves. We worked together in a<br />

symbiotic way to promote these talented guys and also<br />

the VEG+BLOOM line. Convincing people to give up their<br />

liquid nutrients was difficult. But when they could see<br />

photos of respected growers producing top quality flowers,<br />

it was impossible to ignore. Once we overcame the<br />

question of “Does it work?,” the product started moving.<br />

With the incredible price point of a powder, all inclusive,<br />

one-part base nutrient, growers could no longer ignore it.<br />

What did you first produce?<br />

Small-batch powder fertilizers<br />

How has your company expanded over the years?<br />

HYDROPONIC RESEARCH:<br />

We started off in a small, cold brick building in downtown<br />

San Diego without a sink. Constantly fighting the city<br />

for permits to occupy multiple warehouse spaces. Doing<br />

everything solo to having two shifts of employees covering<br />

different processes. Creating and developing operating<br />

procedures where there is no blueprint. Seeing all that<br />

work get recognized and appreciated.<br />

offices. Soon we hired our first employee and moved into a<br />

trailer in Zack’s backyard, then a small warehouse in San<br />

Diego that we quickly outgrew. We are still in San Diego just a<br />

few blocks from Hydroponic Research. We can walk between<br />

FACTS ON<br />

THE GOLGI APPARATUS<br />

by Philip McIntosh<br />

You can’t tell much about it by its name, other than a person<br />

named Golgi (pronounced gol-gee) had something to do with it.”<br />

FIRST REPORTED in 1898 by Italian physician and biologist Camillo Golgi, this organelle is<br />

important in processing proteins into their final configuration and in sending them to their destinations.<br />

THE GOLGI apparatus is also called the Golgi body, Golgi complex, or just Golgi.<br />

THE GOLGI receives vesicles budded off from<br />

the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These vesicles contain<br />

proteins requiring further processing before they<br />

become active.<br />

THE GOLGI is a “central delivery station.” Proteins<br />

sent there from the ER are modified, repackaged, and<br />

delivered to where they are needed inside the cell.<br />

PROTEINS DESTINED for a role outside<br />

of the cell are packaged into vesicles by the<br />

Golgi, which then sends them to fuse with the cell<br />

membrane to be excreted.<br />

THE GOLGI apparatus is found only in Eukaryotes<br />

— organisms whose cells contain nuclei, such as those<br />

of plants, animals, fungi, and protists.<br />

ALTHOUGH THE Golgi is a large and distinctive<br />

organelle, it took the application of the electron<br />

microscope before it was accepted as a legitimate<br />

and distinct subcellular structure.<br />

IN APPEARANCE, the Golgi resembles a series<br />

of flattened pancake-shaped vesicles, usually located<br />

near the nucleus, not far from the ER.<br />

THE INDIVIDUAL small membranous sacs that<br />

make up the Golgi are called cisternae or dictyosomes.<br />

IN PLANTS, the Golgi apparatus also plays a<br />

major role in production of polysaccharides destined<br />

for incorporation into the cell wall.<br />
