I'm not saying the subject is right or wrong hombre, but I have been on here enough to see the staff reaction to it, that's all, and I don't want to see this thread dissappear in a poof of smoke. Punnerifickness right there yo!
I realize hemp is a different subject, and of it's tremendous benefits in terms of fuel, food, fiber, jobs, etc....but hemp discussions will ALWAYS draw the other side of the coin into it.

The topic of the thread and article is about using these developments for food supply/production.
This is all I will say, otherwise because the thread will take a turn for the worse, in terms of becoming another right and wrong regarding validity, personal testimony, and loose discussions about it.

16e.) Illicit Activity: Discussion of illicit activities, specifically the use of mind-altering drugs & substances, engaging in computer hacking, promoting criminal hate, discussing sexual relations with minors, and furtherance of financial schemes and scams are strictly forbidden. You will also not link to sites or online content that contains discussion or advocacy of such material. Any Post mentioning or advocating personal use of illicit mind-altering drugs will result in immediate account termination.

We are allowed, but under certain rules, but on this thread it could only lead to distraction (as we can see), so please, everybody, stay on topic.

I wonder how much energy is needed to power that up.

I wonder how much energy is needed to power that up.

I can't seem to find the specific detail on this particular system. Compared to traditional lights, they are less hot and so they are able to stack tiers of plants on top of one another, fully utilizing the volume of a grow area, as opposed to just a single floor level. The additional yield, then too, should be part of the consideration for cost comparisons.

It could be a game changer.

For the better it seems too, and with sensibility.
Thanks for the comment..

That's looks awesome, this is how farming should be done in the 21st century and beond.
This is almost close to organic farming. It would neat if the automated farm system built in the city
that would reduce the costs of production, decrease delivery time and increase food shelf life.

Do you know if fertilizers or pesticides are used?

Star and Flag for this one awesome

They used fertilizer, but I am unsure whether it was organic or not, but it could and should be
No pesticides were used because of strict environmental controls, another advantage of this system.
I agree, this potential applications for this, both on small and large scales seems logical and has momentum already.

You are somewhat correct in the LED gardening idea not being new, but the improvements on it, as well as promotion of, could be considered revolutionary. I think the spectrum array is different than the older ones. Were the one's you mentioned red and blue? Just curious, but surely they have made improvements.

In the past 15 years or so, the industry offered software that would help monitor a plant from beginning to end, thus allowing the grower to make adjustments and optimize the results. This system makes the adjustments for you, every second throughout the day. It also monitors the plant on a much more innovative way, by not just providing info on ph, nutrient uptake, soil wetness etc..., now they can see it on a molecular level and make adjustments, which some include optimizing a plant to new or specific levels, by maintaining a constant perfect enviro/sytem every second of every day. Resting time is minimized and the ebb and flow is pushed forward only. They also use the entire volume of a room. Typical gardens are 1 to 5 levels, but these things stack from floor to ceiling, and are wall to wall, with the exception of workspace. It is as perfect a system that can be made, and even though mother nature is best, this allows the best of ma nature round the clock, through any season.

I wonder about taste qualities too FoosM. Maybe if they used soil for a medium, but that seems unlikely since the system is designed for an alternative and efficient approach. But with all the science involved, maybe they can tweak more flavor out. Still, this will bring food to those in need and hopefully prevent more shortages as opposed to totally replacing the natural way o things.
