Hello Kowshik,

Welcome to the fray.

It sounds like your team is making progress. There's a great bunch of folks here so don't hesitate to ask for help and advice if you need it. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-a34ea5a1-ab80-481b-a3ce-49bb359647bc/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Cheers,

Hi Kowshik,

There is not a lot of information here, don't forget you need high quality (in terms of content) blog posts ideally, otherwise the competition may win!

Could you explain a bit more about what your cylindrical farm proposal is? (We have not seen your proposal remember). Perhaps show some images/diagrams that you might

have used in the proposal - takes no time. Or a photo of the environment where it will be installed.

Also, you might want to change the blog post title to something more interesting, e.g. "Cylindrical Farm - An introduction - blog 1" so people see it as interesting in the activity feed to read.

Finally, we're not all experts, and although we can use Google, a quick 1-line explaining the difference between aeroponics and hydroponics (or URLs - there are tools in the editor so

you can add them in like this hydroponics link) could be interesting to allow people to want to follow up.

These are just suggestions (because I want to see everyone in with a fair chance of winning this challenge) from a reader's perspective, and just a personal opinion.

Hello Kowshik,

interesting project, looking forward for more details. Just as you have pointed on this, I am interested to know if it is a choice of you or it is mandatory that the seed germination phase should be in a separate condition than where the plants will grow. It is a normal condition (i.e. for tomatoes and other vegetables) applied in the traditional agriculture. I though that in the case of vertical farming this was part of the entire automated process.
