Highlights:
-they don’t use HPS
-they worry the lack of gravity will make stems spindly and weak like it does human bones.
I just thought it was neat.
No weed up there yet unless it’s classified which it probably is.
Ground control to major bud. Over.

I wonder if they had adequate air movement?

Something like “all environmental factors and inputs are carefully controlled.” Some from the ground.
They also stress them out with a particular enzyme to see what happens.

I fell in love with hydroponics because of the NASA floor in the Ontario Science Center where there is the display of growing in space using LED’s, gel mediums, and a rotating assembly to mimic gravity

Nah I think they just use Promix increases payload though. I imagine a skid of bales in some cargo hold somewhere.
I remember the science centre exhibit. Very cool indeed.

So cool… it won’t matter of the stems are spindly, with no gravity you don’t need strength to hold up the giant space colas!

Yes that’s a point. I just thought the whole thing was quite interesting.
On a side note I’m going to go out on a limb and guess they have an exclusive lighting arrangement with Mars Hydro.

I wonder how much that space tubing costs?

It’s from Home Depot. The real problem is getting it shipped into orbit. Maybe amazon would do it.

Space Weed?
This always makes me think of trailer park boys - something like “going to Jupiter to pick up some space weed but the refuckulator is damaged.”
