plants per raft average?

[Dino Pantelidis]

Hey all;

I seem to have forgotten what the average net pods per 2X4 raft space?

I was @ friendlys in hawaii, and have forgot - but the average grow out is 4 weeks on average?

(assuming the conditions are great+excellent)

Hi Dino,

We have a group for rafters under group tab. One of the discussions there about plant spacing is.....................

Hi Dino,

We currently use a hole spacing of 32 holes per 2 x 4 raft.  I think Tim and Susanne are using 43.  Depending on conditions, grow out time can be about 4 weeks for optimal and about 5 weeks for less than perfect conditions, once seedlings go in the system at roughly 1" in size.

Thats awesome, Gina!

Thank-you

and hopefully I will be seeing you soon @ your greenhouse..

Off topic; have you heard of the bubble greenhouse concept? there is a guy who is doing that in my area (Ontario)

I purchased the plans, keeps the place cool in the summer and warm and toasty in the winter.

Sure, no worries Dino!  I know we had communicated a little via email and you were interested in coming down to visit.  Will you be attending the conference in September?  Hope to see you then. 

I haven't see anything about the bubble greenhouse concept. I will have to check it out!  Thanks.

Thanks Gina, Unfortunately no. It will be my daughter's 3rd birthday on the 17th of September.

My wife will surely hammer the nails to my coffin if daddy misses his little girls party!

Oh that's right!  I remember that now.  No, you cannot miss your little girls birthday!  We will be here, so plan on coming anytime!
