I also go for the real coconuts where possible, whereas the shelf-stable coconut water drinks have been pasteurized for longevity, diminishing their nutritional/beneficial attributes. Sometimes the ethnic super markets are a good place to find the real coconuts.

Im going to experiment with the store water and see what the shelf stabilizers actually do to the plant if any negative effects.But the Nut is the best water if you can find it

For science would be curious to see the difference with both the fresh coconut water and the pasteurized version, my assumption would be that the fresh stuff has the most potential - i’m not sure if there are any preservatives used in the VitaCoco or other brands as the pasteurization process functions as a shelf stabilizer.

If you don’t have coconut palm & can pick your own , try a Latin or Caribbean food store . They often have fresh coconut as it’s a staple in their cooking . Ideally you want them on the " green " side of ripe .

Theres a guy in Siberia that dug into the permafrost at an incline and built a green house around it and uses the earths heat to circulate warmth he grows Tropical plants in it.I wonder if it acts the same as this system man wouldn’t being able to grow outdoor in winter be a blast

Great!

yeah, I was thinkin’ be great because lights are going to glitch you out eventually no matter what…

And this is free

Growin’ for seed and givin’ away doobies might be good DIY down the road…

The second video intro to GAHT gives the most detail

Ive been dreamin’ about 3 sided greenhouses with this type of air system for years

I like they sell you the schematic blueprints up to code and dialed in to their experience

Always fascinated by Geo-Thermal
