Upgrading our basil operation: 11 LED panels in a 10x10 tent maintain a temperature of 72-74°F with an 18-hour light schedule for heirloom Genovese basil. Space is available for propagation and extra plant requests.
i like the setup, but sometimes i feel the humidity can mess with the flow. experienced minor issues with inconsistent nutrient delivery, so might be worthwhile to add extra temp & humidity checks to avoid growth slowdowns!
Based on my own experience working with NFT systems, I believe this setup has real potential if even small details are monitored closely. In a similar project, I encountered challenges with maintaining consistent nutrient flow, particularly when environmental conditions shifted unexpectedly. However, proper calibration of LED intensity and careful control of temperature allowed for robust basil growth over multiple cycles. Additionally, reserving space for propagation can lead to better plant selection over time. Focusing on precise adjustments and timely interventions helps to maximize yield while minimizing resource waste in setups like this.
