A lot of what we do here at Plant Humboldt has nothing to do with cannabis.
This is our lined, rainwater collection, irrigation pond. It's about 500 ft/sq and 16' at the deepest. Floating in the middle is a salvaged standup paddleboard converted into a floating island.
I set it up last August as an experiment. While the plants are growing (see photos from last year's planting time), they aren't thriving. I need to figure out what's going on.
Once I get it dialed in, the plan is to bolt five or six paddleboards together to make a large habitat island that will also support enough root mass below it that it will reduce the nutrient load in the water. Ideally this will reduce the planktonic algae that gives the water its pea soup color.
In the next post, I'll give a little info on why I think the plants aren't doing so well and ask for advice. Any aquatic #biologists who understand #pond chemistry out there?
