What could be a better segue than this....
It's been a full month to the day that I started messing around with pumps, timers, switches, nutrition, soil, container, etc.. Over this time I've taken my current crop nearing harvest to many extremes, watched shit loads of educational youtube and read way too much for my blinding eyes... But I'm there... and now experimenting with more advanced techinques... but I've got my base program for now...
Let's see if I can bullet this...
Container -
The Stonington soil is THE BOMB! I think they put some kind of narcotic substance in it... I'm addicted already... It is SUPER fluffy and RICH in sea compost and minerals!!! This soil combined with Boogie Brew is nirvana for me and my plants right now.
The irrigation I want is beyond my means and technology in place at the moment. I'm working with the manufacturer of PlantLink, Oso Technologies to fix bugs I found and then I'll be replacing them with a next gen one the'll be introducing this coming spring. I've asked them to be a beta site. They are also giving me the public api so we can write a software controller to do things base on feedback. Once I'm there, I'll fiddle more with an advanced moisture and food deliver method. For now it's back to basics...
Oh yes, I ordered a ROCK box... It's just a bunch of mineral rich rock dust from 'special' places on the planet...
Bottom line. My crop looks super healthy thus far, tending to the crew of 20 is simple as they all get the same nutrition from beginning to end... No more complicated mixing according to age... No more plastic bottles... A lot lower food bill (15 cents per feed)... Last but not least a LOT more FREE time for poor Rhyce Saroni... Wheeee!!!
It's working!!!!
* The spikes are experimental. I saw the guy at TLO soil .com show how to do this. I think mine are pretty conservative. They are intended to be a reserve of P and K that the plant's mature root system will hit just in time for packing on the meat!
