Food cube! New grow

I found these planters called food cube, it’s a 4’x4’ raised planter with a wicking system to water plants .

We started white truffle(4/6) and gruntz (5/6)by ilgm. Grown for a bit but first time running ilgm , except for a few clones.

Look forward to see end results.

Living soil with 2lbs of red wiggglers and clovers /rye as cover.

Reminds me of @Hoppiefrog ‘s grow set up. You should add a little char too if you have not all ready. Looks like a killer set up.

Hell yeah :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: , nice setup! Are you running a wet room? Looks like you are running a misting system? Also are the walls insulated panels?

If you have a pulse meter check the corners especially on the left cube , i find as soon as things start to grow the corners dry up first. You may have to help the medium out a bit of it has dried out much , it may be a little hydrophobic. If your not already get some saponins in there.

Walls are frp , plastic so it seals the room and helps from getting mold . Misting system only setup for cover crop, once established it won’t be used hopefully the cover will be able to pull moisture from lower a wicking system aswell but we will see

Playing with bonsai and manifold in a 2x4 , 7 gal fox farm

Picked up some smart valves, might be able to link these to the home assistant to keep all automation in one spot

I was able to link shutoffs to automation server. Can put it on timer and track logs . Really just didn’t feel like doing this at 3am during lights offs

Gotta backfill these grunts a little now soil seems to be settling under them, almost a week in the new homes and seem to not be dying yet

Left side of clovers finally sprung up as well
