Growing with the Borg

So about a week ago I turned on my robotic garden would you like to see the future of growing? You’re in the correct thread. Since Cocoforcannabis is not doing grow journals any more I will create one here. Check my previous grows there to see the evolution of my Borg tent grow. A little about this system, it is completely automated, it makes nutrients automatically. It controls the environment automatically it automatically fertigates the plants. In my tent I am the architect (Matrix) yes I designed all the controls, and electronics except for the AC Infinity environment controls. Here is pics of the system.

I am still working on the doser my 3d printer is a bit under the weather but it will be fixed today. Let’s have a look inside the tent.

These plants are 8 days old. Growing in pure coco coir, with General hydroponics flora trio line. From the dashboard I can see the plants and almost every aspect of the grow. I can even see the water content of my media, temperature, and EC.

The reservoir is temperature controlled, and uses a unique fertigation system that only 3 people have the joy of owning. Enough about the system the plants that are growing are 3 Banna Runtz x Troppical Cherry, and 3 Goth Girls by Seeperson 1. You can check us out on YouTube at the SmotPoker Humpedazed and confused show on wensdays at 7pm est. I will keep my grow journal here, and we can watch these plants grow together.
Oh and I can control the system or check up on it anywhere I have internet connectivity. I travel for a living so in order to grow I have to be able to do it remotely.

It has almost been a week, let's peep in on the young seedlings to see how they are doing in the borg tent.

Day 13.jpg

The growth is looking great. This is probably my best grow yet, as they are firing on all cylinders. They are drinking at full strength, however it takes about a week for the nutrients to reach the media sensors. Fertigating 60ml into 1/4gal fabric pots and I have been hardening them off. DLI is at 26, and they are getting about 360 uMols over 20 hours. Co2 is being injected starting today at 1200 ppms. Pretty soon it will be time to pot up and probably flip these plants into flower. I have 6 plants and 3 are feminized so they will quickly overun the tent if I am not careful with them. I could top them next week and get more colas.
