Infrastructure Assessments and Growing Protocol
Copyright © 2019 Torpedopot™ - All Rights Reserved. Patent Protected
Torpedopot™ Growing Protocol tracks your plant's growth and behavior. Torpedopot™ extracts data from your plant's environment while they sleep, eat, and grow!
Request for Proposal
PSD
Torpedopot™ understands your regulatory framework as well as your technical and biological environment. We are professional growers. Our Infrastructure Assessment and Growing Protocol are designed to merge your plant's physiology into their new growing environment. Your cannabis plants will experience their full lifecycle in your care. Our planters simulate real-world conditions, so you can control taste, look, feel, potency, cannabinoids, terpenes, color, texture, smell, etc. Great for research and development!
Infrastructure Assessments
Torpedopot™ will assess your current designs, architectural layout, piping, HVAC, and facility, equipment, utilities, as well as data collected from sensors, monitoring devices, and cloud services to ensure the future state is sustainable.

Infrastructure Assessment
Imagine having forty-thousand, twenty-foot tall self-growing cannabis towers producing one-million pounds of cannabis annually. When you take into consideration that the system utilizes a fraction of water, space, soil, and labor, to house this much harvest, it is profound. To be successful, we must precisely understand your process parameters, acceptance criteria, and system specifications. Your production facility must sustain full automation. Change in system parameters impacts your plant's growth.
Your plant's complete lifecycle (germination, cultivation, testing, harvesting, processing, and packaging) will take place in one containerized gardening system. Your facility must be able to scale with your operations. Torpedopot™ is a mobile solution that can quickly scale your operations to double production output. Torpedopot™ can scale faster than any growing application in the world.

One of the reasons why our clients love our planters is because you can use soil or liquid nutrients. Torpedopot™ is the best in hydroponics and traditional gardening. Start your plants growing in a fungal media, then switch them over to a hydroponic feeding schedule. Our planters leverage fungal and synthetic substrates. You can easily make changes to the growing environment. When seedlings are underperforming in the soil, you can feed them a nutrient-rich liquid diet. Take control of your plant's behavior.

Independent Monitoring and Reporting
Biological Analysis

Monitoring Reporting
We use an independent third party to conduct testing. The average, it will take cannabis plants approximately (1-7 days) to germinate Your Seeds, (3 weeks – 8+ weeks) for vegetative growth, and (5 weeks – 16+ weeks) for the flowering stage. During the sixth month growth cycle we will analyze the proof of concept. Consequently, there are no federal standards for testing. Typically, states require some type of chemical analysis.
