Welcome to episode 122 of Office Hours LIVE, brought to you by AROYA. 

Hosts Jason, Cian, and Kaisha explore plant cultivation with expert insights. We cover vital aspects of plant growth and environmental control, focusing on nutrient balance, pH levels, and the critical role of Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) during flowering stages. 

Jason shares his experience from various growing facilities, offers practical tips on managing low pH, and introduces valuable tools like the VPD calculator and the updated dryback tool for optimizing plant health. 

We also touch on the holistic approach to growing, including engaging with plants through music and spending quality time with them.
