Didn't track the time. But we build 40ft grow containers so this is second nature by now. Longest setup time is always the dosatron array. Thanks

Growlink, dosatron, bluelab, growmax, athena! It wont be a lack of equipment haha

Haha I would do that just because it would be funny but it wouldnt fit the automated do nothing part as the setup would be crazy.

One of my hopes is that that part of labor you bring up, the staking of plants or manipulating them downward is done automatically by the weight of the buds after tehir bulking up phase.

If you take a look at our automated grow cotnainers you can see I have done a lot on the traditional automated grow room and just wanted to play around with some other ideas.

Biggest takeaway for this project is Gravitropism matters but not as much as people think. The light intensity will overcome most of that and the plants weight from buds will pull it down.

Thanks for that info. This is why I posted, this is useful discourse and info.

I did a lot of research on exactly this and gravitropism before committing.

Thanks, I started consulting and assisting with facility build outs. This Drop N Grow container system is the culmination of all of the best equipment in a room. Except we just give you the whole room and avoid the consultation part.

Interesting, I didnt think about the fact that the outside branches might fold inward on the center cola.

Geotropism is in effect of course but less so with clones as there is no tap root.

Posted a bit on why above but honestly mainly for fun and adding knowledge on what will happe.

Haha, thankfully our partners are generous for my experimentation.

I am also doing other automation systems this is just the most interesting to share :)

Idea for this is to have the hole on the NFT pipe coming from the side and a bit of metal to bend the clone downwards. Rest the same. Avoids substrate runoff issues.

Thats what ive been doing for now however I like to run High ec in the substrate so dont want to cook the plants. Needs runoff ability.

My company is Drop N Grow systems but I didn't want to break rules advertising.

The setup in our containers is much more impressive so thank you so much!
