It never rains in Spain

Jack purchases his hardware from the future. Has a time machine to get there...

Marshall, you have just explained how Jack's greenhouse . .

. is bigger on the inside,

than the outside!

While misting the plants today I noticed something that I have never seen before. One of my very favorite olive trees is a small bushy Arbequina, and I do believe it is in the process of setting flower buds, which of course will mean OLIVES! I had read that olives set flower buds during their winter chill period, but this will be the very first time I have seen one flower. That said, I guess they are happy in our version of Spain. My concern has been the low power LED lights, as the 20 plus trees are sharing less than 200 watts of lighting. The lights range from 9 watts to a maximum of 36 watts and I really did not know what to expect. It is not nice to fool Mother Nature, but it is sure fun to try. :weee

His greenhouse is definitely bigger on the inside than the outside...

Course, that's the simple version!

(Q)per of fermion e of unknown mass, degenNx is derived from the total opulacity minus albedo at 476.3 mhz.

Since cst of m has a perpindicularity of 90 in stQF, and the entangled particles have 360 plus 90 degrees in single

Then, with application of Lz light at the appropriate cycle diminishes outer perimeter while stabilizing inner volumetrics.

That's easy for someone from 3,000 ad to know. Heck, they'll be talking about that in kineegarden!

Luckily I calculated it in my mad scientist dungeon.
 
Will your Arbequina need another variety for pollinating?

Also, Jack, during its flowering, can you add a couple t5 tubes for extra light?

Marshall, it is not that complicated, it is just smoke and mirrors.

Marshall, the Arbequina is self fertile and does not need a pollinator. For those that do I have a Pendolino, which is a sort of universal pollinator.

Adding lighting is not necessary, as the LEDs are tuned for photosynthesis. The trees are receiving the spectrum that they need the most now. The T5s work OK, but they also produce spectrum that plants do not use. As a matter of fact, the plants are reluctant to go dormant. Several are growing even with the reduced photoperiod. They have not been fed since early November, and have received very little water, yet they continue to grow, so the lights are doing their thing. If you look at the internodal spacing on the branch in the photo you can see that the tree is not at all leggy, which indicates that the lighting is more than adequate. That tree is sharing a 36 watt light with another tree and the light is more than two feet from the tree.

Mary,
After a full day with Ava I am wiped out the following day, but I would not trade a minute of it, and I am sure you feel the same way with Olivia. Where do they get all of that energy?

And Red, I found out the hard way that water is the Olive's nemesis. They have hardly any pests and few diseases, however, just a tad too much water is fatal. That said, I do not take any chances and purchased digital moisture meters. I let them get almost completely dry and just give them little more than a sip. If, and when, they are fruiting they will need just a little more water. They can tolerate neglect, but not over watering.

Jack ... if just a tad of too much water is fatal ... while in Fresno / Clovis / + elsewhere in Cal. (Mediteranian high desert type of environment ) there are dozens upon dozens of just planted to full grown olive trees thriving and fruiting in lawns that are automatically watered just about every day ( spring, summer, fall months ) with excess water freely flowing down over the sidewalks and into street gutters ?
