Reduce watering as roots approach maturity; too much soil moisture at the end of the growing time will cause roots to crack. An inch of water (6.5 gallons per square foot) weekly is best in hot weather. Growing carrots in light soil–sandy soil–will require additional water. Sandier soil...
To measure the amount of the grow light inside the grow tent, use aPAR Meter. Measuring light is important to ensure the optimal PPFD values to make plants thrive and yield. Using a PAR meter shows how much energy the grow light gives off and what lands on the plant. The optimal range ...

lutein is involved in the prevention of the formation of1Chl* through its contribution to NPQ (Johnson et al.2009; Jahns and Holzwarth2012). However, similar to the xanthophyll cycle pigments, the amount of lutein did by far exceed the number of binding sites in the LHC. Therefore, free ...
The health benefits of fish oil, and its omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid content, have attracted much scientific attention in the last four decades. Fish oils that contain higher amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) than docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3), in a ...
but not by much -- the amount of fat in a fish oil capsule is only about 1 gram, while studies have shown maximal bile release with at least 6.5 grams of fat (Marciani, Eur J Clin Nutr 2013). Other supplements that have improved absorption when taken with fats includeastaxanthin,bosw...
