Sunlight is organic money.
Don’t understand? See demonstration below.
The above photo shows two Lady’s Finger seedlings. Roughly one week old. These two seedlings get plenty of sunlight. Their third leaf has fully formed, and the fourth leaf is on the way. Now see the photo below.
This Lady’s finger seedling is exactly the same age as the two in the photo up there, never get enough sunlight. The third leaf is still struggling. Got no fourth leaf also.
So different kan? Just because it didn’t get enough sunlight, it’s about 30% slower.
What happens when sunlight hits organic sayur? Like this:
2n CO2 + 2n H2O + photons → 2(CH2O)n + 2n O2
Haaaahhhhh. Don’t understand leh. That’s why lah. Never concentrate in Kimia class last time. Ok ok. Translation:
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light → Carbohydrate + Oxygen
Organic sayur takes the carbohydrates and releases the oxygen (For us! Yay!).
Chlorophyll in plant cells. They use sunlight and water to make food.
So does it mean we should make sure that all our organic sayur get a lot of sunlight? Not really.
Organic sayur absorb sunlight through their leaves. When the sayur get a lot of sunlight, it means they get plenty of food. What happens? Your sayur will then try to grow the next thing: flowers.
But you want to eat sayur or flowers? Sure sayur right? So, to make your organic sayur grow a lot of leaves, plant them in a shade. As long as the sayur is getting good nutrients from their roots, they will make as many leaves as possible to capture enough sun energy to make food so that they are strong enough to make flowers which will allow them to create seeds. Then you get big big leafy sayur.
If you really think about it, organic sayur is not too different from people. If people got a lot of money and food and are comfortable, they will have mood to make babies every night! But because life is hard, people nowadays dare not get too many children and spend more time to create opportunities to look for money. But people more clever than organic sayur lah. We know how to find jalan to make money. Then at the same time, we still know how to do that ahem ahem thing every night without making babies! Huhuh…better stop the subject here…..if not, from discussing photosynthesis we start to discuss porno pulak.
Got a few other techniques you can experiment. You can position your organic sayur pots so that they get a lot of sun in the morning, but be in the shade in the afternoon. This will produce a different result compared to planting organic sayur in the shade all the time. Some sayur can feel where the sunlight is brightest, and they long long stems to try and reach sunlight, but leaves not very big lor. So if they get a lot of sun in morning, but nothing in the afternoon, they make the best of the morning by making big leaves, and put less focus on growing long stems, and also get not enough energy to make flowers and seeds.
The situation is different if you want fruits, lah. Like cili padi, or cucumber or lady’s fingers, you want to make sure that they get as much sunlight as possible because you want to eat the fruits. Your plants need A LOT of energy to make babies….the fruits.
Having said all that….use WormOrganics. The whole purpose of organicsayur.com is to help you grow your own organic sayur without losing any hair. If you play-play with the sunlight and your organic sayur project is not getting enough nutrients, IT WILL NOT WORK. Without WormOrganics, you will also have to play-play with the nutrients by yourself. If you play-play with the nutrients, haahh, this is when you will start losing hair. WormOrganics looks like soil, but it is not soil. Got some sand and grit and some snail shells also that got mixed in when we collect water hyacinth to make WormOrganics, but other than, WormOrganics is made with high quality organic matter that will steadily supply every form of nutrient that organic sayur needs at anytime they need it.
