No worries about the double response, we’re still getting used to the format too! The idea though is that other schools and students will benefit from seeing the experiences of “early-adopters” - like yourself! I would love to hear what your formal hypothesis is for this experiment - or at least a little bit more about the lab you work in and the research you’re focused on. In response to your questions…
So if I’m understanding correctly, as part of this “Experiment” you want to run four separate “Trials”, each of them consisting of two growth phases. You would like for all of the trials to use the same settings for the first phase, but for the second phase you’d like to apply a “heat treatment” (I’m assuming increased day AND night temperature) which will be different in each trial.
- Since your serial numbers are between 0 and 25, you have a unit from “batch one”. I shared the max umol settings in each spectrum for batch one units on this forum post - all combined the max umol is 363. It sounds like you want a phase one setting of 230 umol and phase two setting of 300 umol, both using a 18 hour photoperiod. The only difference is that you’d rather change these phases manually (by using two separate recipes) rather than having it automatically advance to the next phase based on day number - is that correct?
- Understood. What do you want the
- Ok, I would recommend that you just disconnect the tubes hanging from the top of your chamber, that will ensure no water is added - regardless of the trial settings. That way we can leave the irrigation in the recipe so that if you decide you want to add it later you can just plug the tubes in and fill up the bottom reservoir.
We can get you the recipe for phase 1 created later today - I’ll follow-up with the name and a copy of the JSON file - for you to see - when it’s in the system.
