Environmental swings can be a bear in a desert dep, so I programmed an ESP32 to vary mist dependent on VPD. 5 ON/OFF patterns from >1.0 to <3.0 and crop steer roots in the sweet zone. Scalable, automated, fail-safes, 30g/sq ft yields, 42-day flower cycles, less water, electric, NPK, and zero medium cost. 100 drybacks per day. with solar I’m at .05 cents per gram production cost, not counting labor. If the NPK could be made strong enough from compost and post harvest biomass composted a carbon neutral op would be attainable.

If you wanted proof the industry was bought by investors look no further than at what’s possible vs what’s the normally process for large ops. So many dropped out of the race long ago because of cost to profit ratio. It’s sad this high level of efficiency isn’t the goal of most growing commercially, but when leaning on a golden ticket (cultivation licence) innovation is just an unnecessary gamble.
