2:00
everything's ready on Thursday and you can just
2:03
for a Friday harvest you just take everything
2:05
out of your greenhouse and stick it in
2:07
your walk-in cooler and it stops growing. So
2:11
it's good to be that that's not going
2:13
to be the case for everybody but I
2:15
always err on the side of caution try
2:17
to overproduce another way you can slow things
2:19
down actually is by reducing the water and
2:21
so with sunflower and with radish we find
2:24
you know we can not
2:26
water it let it wilt and and
2:28
then water it to bring it back
2:30
and that'll slow its growth down and
2:32
it tends to recover almost fully. So
2:34
there's ways to slow down growth. Whereas
2:36
if fast enough you can speed
2:38
up growth a little bit but if they didn't get
2:40
that really good growth in the beginning it's rare that
2:43
they get it in the latter part of the cycle.
2:46
Let's say using the email example market
2:49
conditions dictate you need
2:51
to deliver on Tuesday and Thursday so
2:53
you're only a day apart in between
2:55
them. One option would be
2:58
you do your math and you do one seeding
3:01
for Tuesday one seeding
3:03
for Thursday that
3:06
involves more labor essentially two
3:08
days of labor maybe it's not more but
3:10
it's it's two days of setting up and
3:13
tearing down probably more and
3:16
or the other option is you do what
3:18
you said you kind of slow the crop
3:20
down in a walk-in when you only have
3:22
a day or two in between when you
3:25
would need the crop. What are your thoughts
3:27
on timing for perfection on Tuesday? Throw
3:30
it in the walk-in on Tuesday pull
3:32
it back out on Thursday and harvest. If
3:34
I'm doing something as close together as a
3:36
Tuesday and a Thursday I would harvest everything
3:38
on the Tuesday and I
3:41
would see what depends on Tuesday
3:43
Thursday for example for restaurant deliveries
3:45
is too close together. So
3:47
Tuesday kinda gets you through the week and
3:49
then Friday gets a restaurant through the weekend
3:51
and often you're doing a Friday harvest because
3:54
you have weekend markets so what
3:56
we've done in the past we better Tuesday
3:58
harvest.
