Hello!

I've done a lot more work on the system design. Attached is a more comprehensive look at the system including:

  • Exterior Mockup
  • To-Scale Assembly Schematic
  • Primary Parts Manifest
  • Concept Schematic (Original)


I was wondering if anyone had any additional ideas, criticisms (besides the obvious, that it's complicated and expensive), or most important if you see a part that I sourced which is overpriced.

One thing not included in the to-scale schematic (because it obstructs the view) is a transparent dark-green plastic screen which will cover the front of the upper half. This is so that I can open the doors to service the apparatus or inspect plants and roots without disturbing the light cycle: the green film will convert incoming light to green light, which theoretically the plants' chlorophyll wouldn't be able to absorb or react to.

My original, lone schematic didn't get any feedback and I've put a lot of thought into this so I was disappointed. I hope this more complete version will inspire some thoughts. Thank you in advance if it does!

Final construction will include a smaller main-water reservoir than in the schematic to make additional vertical-room for the plants.

Sorry for the rigamarole - the system PDF is 4.8 MB so it's the only way I could get it online with the board's filesize limits.
