-== Project Scope ==
-To investigate various methods of growing food for personal use and the possibility of industrial use. We aim to collect data and share with other groups to further the collective knowledge on the subject. As the project progresses, no doubt the scope will change.
-Hopefully we will be able to come up with some best practices and schematics so anyone who wants to can make their own system.

-==Progress Thus Far==
-We have a member that is willing to donate a working system to us. We will also have to decide on what sort of crop we want to grow.
--Update Jan 24
-Andy has dropped off his system at the space. There are some parts required before we can fire it up:
-- Fish tank filter (AC500)
-- Pump (200-300 gallons per hour)
-- Pump timer (set to 5-15 minute intervals, 2-3 times per day)
-- Heater (250 watt, set to 72F [22.2 C])
-- Hydroton
-- SeaChem Prime
-- Rockwool
-- Seedling grow tray
-==To Do==
-First things first, we need to get the system up and running. Once it's up, we can start tinkering and monitoring it's progress. There are several areas that we can look into.
