A side curtain was removed on the northern wall of the tunnel to improve circulation and reduce humidity. Having made exit paths for the secondary vines of the coco bed, I accidentally terminated the middle secondary in the picture through careless pruning. Fortunately this has been the only casualty so far through being clumsy.

The coco bed was overwatered last week and the resulting high root pressure was evident through guttation which appears as exudation of xylem sap on the edges of the leaves in the morning or in the afternoon by a white residue on the leaf edges.

To combat this, the humidity is being reduced, the bed was allowed to dry and the EC of the nutrient solution was increased from 2.6-3.6.
