Close communityFrom the beginning of the inquiry , the goal was to deal knowledge and learn together . To do so , the radical had to become a skinny community where they could safely share their findings , all based on mutual trust . Two days ago , the group start their research undertaking with the query : ‘ Can we grow the same Cartesian product everywhere in term of yield and quality with the same setpoints ? ’ . The short answer to that is ‘ no . ’ During the research , the group found out that the pattern of various indoor farm play a major purpose in the performance of plants . Despite the same setpoints , the difference in pattern creates another effect . Even within one upright farm , it can be challenging to make a homogenous climate and finagle irrigation . With the labor coming to an goal later this year , there ’s still a muckle to discover about the kinship between technology and plants . That ’s why the chemical group settle to remain , this clip with even more partners . For those concerned , the first results of the project are open to the world and can be found online .
