Provenance record
Timestamped field observations at Johannesburg MI tying the predicted zero-VPD crossover to a measured dawn dew dump, plus the zero-power interventions and the 1-7 October harvest action plan.
07:31 AM — dew dump on leaf serrations, confirming the predicted zero-VPD crossover before solar evaporation.
08:17 AM — bi-lateral albedo tarping; KNF fermentation reactivation by passive thermal capture.
08:18 AM — clear poly ground catchment diverting dew runoff from the Hügelkultur root zone.
1-7 October 2026: 07:00 branch tapping and tarp positioning, 14:00 KNF bio-drench into the exothermic root zone, harvest on or before 7 October ahead of the predicted 8-11 October thermal crash, then a 60 F / 60% RH dry room and solventless processing.
Single-site, single-season observations. They support the hypothesis and the operating procedure; they are not yet multi-site validation.
