We just today finished transplanting a second HD field. We are particularly proud as the 600 GM we transplanted are all issued from our own macro-propagation operation. The density has been decreased as an additional experiment, instead of 1 meter between plants we have planted at 1,2 meters between plants which has decreased the density per acre from 4000 to 2750. Not that we are unhappy with the 4000 field, it's just so we can evaluate the best option for us, for our future fields. We have kept the overhead irrigation system as it is proving to be perfect in its functionality, delivering large and precise amounts of water with sprinklers that do not get easily blocked and that are away from weed, earth and bug interference. Watering two rows with one pipe also allows great savings on irrigation equipment.
