We had some drain tubes laying around and decided on experiment growing a few varieties of tomoatoes, lettuce, bok choy and Swiss chard.

First we added hay from our fields that have not been sprayed with any pesticides then a special blend of top soil which consisted of worm casting, bat guano, and perlite.

Next we ran 200 ft of irrigation tubing and added emitters plus 3 IBC tanks for a gravity fed drip system.

Composting our soil and getting things ready for next spring.

The plants are now in their flowering cycle and we're taking some of the large leaves off. These leaves block sunlight from reaching the flowering sites.

Afterwards we lollipop by removing everything below that will not receive any light. This allows the flowers at the top to get all the energy increasing yield and quality.

Dr. Sebi, a holistic healer, and herbalist, who discovered a natural cure for AIDS, Cancer, and all sorts of diseases, was ridiculed, sued, and eventually thrown in prison, where he was allegedly poisoned.He healed hundreds of people, including many celebrities like Michael Jackson, Steven Seagal, Eddie Murphy, John Travolta, Lisa Lopes, and others.

⁣We're going to be switching the light cycle in the hydropnics system to produce flowers and moving our mother plants into another building . The great thing about cultivating in the fall is the natural 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.


The challenge now is how to naturally heat four 20,000 sqft buildings without propane. We're experimenting with a wood burning barrel stove which gives great heat however it gets a bit smokey and boiling water in 55 gallon drums also help. Any thoughts or ideas out there?

Imagine how cool it would be to have some type of geothermal or zero point energy heating system completely off grid.

The team is slowly growing so we decided to grow in our composted soil.

What we're doing is adding a trellis net to help train and support the plants especially when the flowers start to bloom and they get really heavy. This technique will support the heavy flowers which will help increase harvest yields by up to 20%

This involves bending the stems to purposefully stress the plants. Benefits include a more even canopy, higher yields and some say even potency as well.

After the plants have been in the NFT for a few weeks we then gently pull out the roots and quickly soak them in a B-1 vitamin to help with transplant shock. We put the net lids on, add emitters, gently add the plants then the hydroton clay pellets. Last but not least we add netting to help support the plants, they especially need it during the flowering stage and can add up to 20% to the final harvest.

In order to get more plants we can buy clones or we can do it ourselves. To start find a healthy plant, take a cutting, dip it in a rooting gel, cut some of the sun leaves off, put them in water and then into the cloning machines.

The amount of R&D into these products is absolutely mind bending. Imagine all the trials and errors, falling down and getting back up over and over and over until the company either says lets roll with it and hopefully makes it better as time goes on or they had deep pockets "which is cool, ain't knocking that" and made some bad ass technologies incredibly fast thanks to modern technologies and Wall Street.


One can only dream of this technology 20 years ago and can only imagine what we'll manifest in 2042.

Once roots start to form in the aeroponics cloning machine we then put the plants in the NFT system for a few weeks to allow them to grow even further. This will also help them acclimate to the new environment before going into the beto bucket hydroponics system.

Evening walk through their art exhibition, highly recommend if you're ever in the area.

⁣These usually sell for about $500 a piece, found some used for $125 each. They just needed to be pressure washed, scrubbed, sanitized with peroxide, install new spray emmitters and some new neoprene collars. Overall with the extras pieces it comes out to $140 a piece and they function like new.

Oklahoma’s wind and rain will tear the roofs apart here. We learned that 6mm poly isnt enough and you'll need reinforced 10mm poly to withstand the elements. Some we win some we learn.

Flushing the lines with water and 34% food grade peroxide before we put in the plants. Depending on the weather we may install a chiller to keep the water between 65-68 Fahrenheit.

After sanitizing the buckets and pipes we now have to reinstall the gromets, drain and return pipes.

We redrilled the holes to allow the net baskets to fit snuggly, this will allow the system to hold the plants better when they get bigger.

Clones in the aeroponics machines. After taking cuttings from the mother plants they'll stay in here for roughly 10-14 days or until roots are 6" inches long then we transplant them into the NFT System.

Cleaning and getting the NFT system ready for the new plants.

We put this insulation on to help reflect sunlight and to protect the wood from water. The cons are when its 100 plus outside it can be like a solar oven in there. The solution next year is to put in a retractable shade net.
