Chapter Twenty-Four: Neon
"Light, temperature, ventilation are not too big problems, the main problem, or in the nutrient solution, first of all, the ratio between macroelements and trace elements is not done well, the concentration of a large number of elements is too high, and it can be seen from the leaves that you supplement the nutrient solution too often, which is counterproductive." Feng Yisong put the strawberry plant back into the bamboo tube and analyzed it for Yunli.
"The nutrient solution is supplemented twice a week, and the amount is one-fifth of the total solution, as for the concentration of the elements, I don't have a special measuring tool here, they are all made according to the formula in the book, but in terms of trace elements, there should be no problem in the amount, and I have been careful enough when I prepare the nutrient solution." Yun Li told the situation in 1510, pointed out the main points, and asked Feng Yisong to give it to the staff officer.
Feng Yisong laughed, patted Yunli's shoulder, and explained: "When I talked on the phone before, I told you that it is very important to prepare nutrient solution, which is to ensure the amount of macroelements and trace elements to provide plants with the nutrients they need to grow, but it does not mean that the more you provide, the better it will be for plant growth. In the case of these nutrient solutions, even if the trace elements are sufficient, but the concentration of large elements is too high, the strawberries absorb enough large amounts of large elements to maintain life, and the intake of trace elements will be reduced accordingly, which leads them to grow quickly and well, but they lose their chains in flowering and fruiting. ”
"I see, I never thought they would be picky eaters like humans." After listening to Feng Yisong's explanation, Yunli suddenly realized.
"In fact, plants, like humans, have their own unique perception system, take this strawberry as an example, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other large elements are enough to maintain their normal growth, but to bloom and bear fruit, you need to consume enough trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, etc. Generally speaking, plants are much more able to absorb large amounts of elements than trace elements, and when you provide too many large elements, they will be biased towards absorbing large amounts of elements, and neglecting the absorption of trace elements, just like children who are partial eaters. Feng Yisong is worthy of being a professional professor, and in just a few words, he vividly analyzed the problems in it.
After looking at the strawberries, Yunli introduced the flowers and plants cultivated in the long bamboo tubes on both sides to the two sides. At the beginning, most of the seeds that Yunli bought in the flower and bird market were cultivated, with the assistance of electromagnetic force, and the germination rate was still very high, but only a small part could grow. Nowadays, there are some flowers and plants of different shapes growing on the long multi-layer hydroponic bamboo tube, and the growth is still quite good.
"Fine-leaved bamboo, daisy, French narcissus, this should be Phnom Penh Mo Lan, alias New Year's Orchid, the flower color is black and red, often blooming during the Lunar New Year, so it is named, this is the wisteria, also known as African Lingxiao, in recent years, it has been introduced into our country to plant, hydroponics, I am still the first time to see it." With just one glance, Feng Yisong could report the names of these flowers and plants one by one, and even knew the origin, growth habits, flowering period, and so on, which made Yun Li admire.
"There are ornamental flowers and plants planted here, and the neon lights you always want are also in it, you can dig as much as you want." Jifang Garden is not big, and after visiting the hydroponic area, Yunli took the two of them to the innermost area, where there are potted plants and experimental fields, on which all kinds of plants are planted.
"Neon? Uncle, why do you want this? Feng Jiaqi, who had never spoken, couldn't help but ask. With the heating of the sun lamp, the temperature in Jifang Garden is much warmer than outside, but Feng Jiaqi still has his hands in his pockets, looking careless.
Feng Yisong scanned around with his glasses, smiled, and then walked straight to the right side, in front of a test field surrounded by a small bamboo fence, squatted down, and said happily: "This neon sign is not another neon sign, look at these little guys, all crystal clear, it really makes people love it." ”
Seeing the uncle's happy appearance, Feng Jiaqi also walked over, only to find that the neon sign in the mouth of the two people is a meaty plant, not as big as the mouth of the bowl, and the body is covered with pebbles-like small ****, tight and orderly, round, the color of the **** is dark and shallow, mostly blue-green, the epidermis has various stripes, and the inside is crystal clear.
"It's exactly the same as the photo you sent, it's really rare, to be able to cultivate such a transparent and flawless neon jade dew, I'm afraid I can't find a second one in the entire Linshan County." Seeing these small and transparent guys, Feng Yisong was so happy that he stretched out his palm to stroke them carefully, as if he was stroking the toy he had been looking forward to for a long time.
In addition to going to the appointment to see Yunli's hydroponic planting and give him some guidance, Feng Yisong also had a very clear purpose this time, that is, to ask Yunli for a few neon jade dew.
Their Feng's greenhouse planting company does not directly produce agricultural products like Yunli's Xiaolushan, but cultivates seedlings for sale, and provides planting guidance and consulting services, in short, it is a professional seedling wholesale store. In addition to the usual crop seedlings, the company has recently been slowly expanding into the field of indoor small potted plants in an attempt to tap into new business opportunities.
After several investigations, it was found that succulents and evergreen hydroponic flowers and plants are most in line with the consumption tastes of urban people, firstly, they are pleasing in appearance and have high ornamental properties, and secondly, they are small and easy to grow, and they can grow well without how to take care of them, and they also have the functions of purifying the air, vacuuming and preventing radiation, and have a wide audience and huge market potential.
In their greenhouse, several succulents have been successfully cultivated and are ready to be marketed, but problems arose when it came to cultivating the neon variety. The survival rate and appearance can be achieved by adjusting the nutrients, but the disadvantage of this is that it cannot maintain the permeability of the ****, which makes the meat tendons too much, destroys the perception, and cannot achieve the effect of neon lights, and naturally there is no too high benefit.
During a certain call, Feng Yisong learned that Yunli also planted neon jade dew, so he asked him about the situation and asked Yunli to take a few photos with his mobile phone. At a glance, Feng Yisong found that Yunli's neon jade dew not only grows well, but also has a tight and complete appearance, and the most surprising thing is that the **** is crystal clear, and there are no obvious meat tendons and meat particles in it, and the quality is quite high, so he agreed with Yunli that he must come to Xiaolushan.
With these pure neon gyokuro and Yunli's cultivation experience, Feng Yisong believes that it won't be long before he can cultivate a batch of ideal neon gyokuro, which can be introduced to the market as a flagship product and win more benefits for the company.
For Feng Yisong, it is gratifying to be able to generate income, but what really makes him feel meaningful is to be able to cultivate satisfactory plants in person, which is probably what he has most sought in his life. A breakthrough in the profession is more encouraging than the growth of interests, not to mention that it is also an indescribable joy to make like-minded friends.
After seeing the neon jade dew, Feng Yisong did not dig immediately, but under Yunli's introduction, he looked at several kinds of soil-cultivated plants one after another, and made some exchanges, which benefited Yunli a lot.
After visiting Jifang Garden, Yunli took the two of them to the two circular storage warehouses in the south. The two warehouses were previously built from bamboo, mainly to store the harvested ryegrass for organic fertilizer, and a small shed was built next to it to store farm tools and park the small ripper truck.
One of the circular warehouses, Yunli transformed it into a simple nutrient solution mixing room, because the warehouse was built next to the well, so he built several large wooden barrels next to the well, surrounded by various materials, including ore, dry mud, wood and some bagged materials.
"This is my nutrient solution mixing room, which is all used in the soil method, and I play with it myself." Yunli pushed open the bamboo door and led the two of them in, although the things were very simple, but they were all built by him little by little, and he was still very proud of it. The place was very small, and it seemed a little crowded after the three of them entered, but Feng Yisong obviously didn't care about this, not only looked, but also rolled up his sleeves to scoop up the solution in the barrel to check.
"Xiao Li, you are not a good student, in the school room, if a student prepares the nutrient solution like this, then he will not want to enter my room again this month." After checking the solution in the wooden barrel, Feng Yisong shook his head and pretended to be strict.
"Haha, I'm just a monk who is halfway home, not in the Buddha's register, besides, you have a lot of rules in the temple, but I am a monk of wine and meat, how to live happily, this family will not be left to the next family." Yunli said metaphorically with a smile. He compares the rules and formulas in the book to a temple, showing that he is not a person who plays cards according to common sense, how he likes to get it, and what rules and regulations he does not have to follow.
"Wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha in the heart, this is the highest state of being a monk, after I came out to start a business, I also understand that doing business is different from teaching, practice is different from practice, saving a belly full of ink, sometimes not as effective as a few bold and absurd ideas." Feng Yisong looked at his nephew who was playing with his mobile phone with his head bowed next to him, and said with emotion.
Feng Jiaqi is a forestry management major, and he works as a technician in the company, but he does some management work, and basically does not touch scientific research and cultivation. Feng Yisong is very clear that in this era, science and technology are the core productive forces, and only by relying on technology can we promote industrial development. He really wanted Feng Jiaqi to take over the work of scientific research, but his family didn't quite agree, after all, there was a vivid example of him there, tired and bitter, to put it mildly, it was self-destruction, it was better to sit in a management position.
"There are two last sentences in the words of the old monk Jigong, 'If the world learns from me, it is like entering the devil', I have these things, I can make do with them by myself, if I really use them to invest in planting, how much silver is not enough to lose." Yunli argued with a smile.
