Heat in the summer- and how to deal with it
Growing indoors in the summer can be awful. Excess heat can cause the plants to wilt or droop.
Some ways to reduce this :
- lots of big circulation fans. But bear in mind too much wind blowing will in fact stress the plants. So aim fans towards walls cools the air but lets it diffuse in wind speed.
- extraction. Something I find quite ineffective unless you use huge 250MM or several 150MM fans. Obviously for smell extraction is essential, it’s #1 use. To much extraction makes the air dry and humidity drop so I do not advise this except for smell removal.
- reduction in lights. I think this is something worth noting. Maybe switching off 1 out of 3 lights will increase growth – the reduction in temperature will make the plants perform better and switching off 1 of the lights might not be so deterimental. Check for stretching of plants if light is inadequate.
- low powered bulbs. Well, they’re crap. They don’t work much. This isn’t a solution.
- put the light cycle on at night. Probably the best thing you can do. Make sure no light can escape however.

VERMI T (compost brewed Tea)
Vermi T™ contains approximately 35,000 diverse organisms that are recognized as probiotics for your plants. Introducing a consistent and balanced plethora of beneficial bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes (key members of the soil food web), allow for better digestion of nutrients as well as stimulates immune system function.
The core humic matter in Vermi T™ is unparalleled in the fresh tea market; Alaskan Humus, VermiGreen organic compost (all green waste, no manures, Vermi T™ treated to increase biodiversity and cut the degradation process in half) and Vermicrop Earthworm Castings (from private worm farms fed with a proprietary diet of vegetative matter). The diverse humic substrates with high microbial integrity are then fortified with fossilized kelp containing high calcium, seventy-two trace elements and inoculated with endo/ecto mycorrhizae. The diversity of aerobic biology is brought to the highest total biomass by implementing six of the most premium fungal/bacteria food sources consisting of a proprietary blend of specific simple and complex carbohydrates particular to the needs of the organisms. These food sources are measured to .01 of a gram to ensure consistent biological culturing.
The integrity of our ingredients combined with specific ratios, which are scientifically tested, allow Vermi T™ to reach the highest levels of biomass and achieve a biodiversity which is unsurpassed on the market. Vermi T™ was manifested to create simplicity in brewing a consistent, premium, microbial tea solution. Vermi T™ will enrich gardeners’ lives by enriching their garden.
