Recently started re-watching G-Witch S01 and I’m trying to find a spare couch or any other piece of furniture within the shots of Miorine’s landfill room. 

Aside from the desk and that little table, there seems to be nothing else.

Seeing how the floor is littered with trash, its safe to say that Suletta slept with the saplings on the plant bed.

Essential Equipment for a Successful Hydroponic Farm

Starting a hydroponic farm setup can be both exciting and rewarding, offering a clean, efficient way to grow fresh produce year-round. As the popularity of hydroponics rises, setting up a farm requires understanding key equipment that will ensure a thriving, high-yield operation. Here’s a quick look at the essentials to get your hydroponic farm setup off to a great start!

1. Growing Trays and Containers

In any hydroponic farm setup, plants need a solid foundation to support their growth. Growing trays and containers are crucial as they hold the plants in place and allow them to receive a steady flow of nutrients. For optimal results, choose sturdy, durable trays that can withstand frequent use and provide enough room for plant roots to develop.

2. Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions

Plants in hydroponic systems rely on nutrient solutions instead of soil to access essential minerals. These solutions include all the nutrients required for growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements. To ensure that your hydroponic farm setup yields healthy crops, invest in a high-quality, balanced nutrient solution that can be tailored to specific plant needs.

3. Grow Lights

Light is essential for photosynthesis, and in a hydroponic farm setup, it’s often necessary to supplement natural light with artificial grow lights. LED lights are popular for their efficiency and ability to mimic natural sunlight. When selecting grow lights, consider factors like the type of plants you’re growing, their light requirements, and the setup space. The right lighting can significantly boost growth and maximize yield.

4. Air and Water Pumps

A hydroponic farm setup relies on consistent water flow and oxygen supply. Water pumps ensure that nutrient solutions are continuously circulated to the plant roots, preventing stagnation. Air pumps, on the other hand, infuse oxygen into the water, essential for root health. Reliable pumps are vital for smooth operation, and they help maintain a stable, oxygen-rich environment for the plants.

5. pH and EC Meters

Hydroponics requires monitoring of water quality, especially pH and electrical conductivity (EC) levels, to ensure nutrient absorption. pH meters help keep the water’s acidity or alkalinity in check, while EC meters measure nutrient concentration. Regular monitoring with these meters in your hydroponic farm setup allows you to adjust nutrient levels to meet plant needs, preventing deficiencies or imbalances.

6. Climate Control Systems

Temperature and humidity control are critical in a hydroponic farm setup, especially in regions with extreme weather. Climate control systems like fans, humidifiers, and heaters help maintain optimal growing conditions, ensuring consistent plant health and growth. Automated systems can be particularly beneficial, helping your farm run smoothly with minimal manual intervention.

7. Support Structures

Many hydroponic plants, particularly those that bear fruits, benefit from support structures like trellises or netting. These supports keep plants upright, prevent overcrowding, and make harvesting easier. Including adequate support in your hydroponic farm setup enhances growth and minimizes the risk of plant damage.

Conclusion

Setting up a hydroponic farm involves investing in high-quality equipment that supports healthy plant growth and efficient operation. From nutrient solutions to grow lights and climate control, each element plays a crucial role in a successful hydroponic farm setup. By ensuring you have the right tools, you’re on your way to a thriving, productive hydroponic farm that delivers fresh produce year-round.

Happy #WebcomicDay!! :D

This year we're celebrating the process of making pages... so below the cut I've got a bunch of pictures sharing how I go about making pages of my evil post-apocalyptic workplace sitcom, Cargo!! :D

So! My process!!

Writing-> I think sometimes there's pressure to "write" your comic a certain way, I see people talking about script format and stuff a lot. That really doesn't work for me, though! I write my "first draft" script in short scenes on scrap paper, in whatever order they come to me. Sometimes a scene will just be one or two lines, and then a little description of what I want to happen in the rest of the scene.

Later I type the scene up, and write the "connective tissue" that fits between the disjointed scenes so they all flow together like they ought. I don't do page breaks or even character tag or action notes hahahaha I like it to be as BASIC as POSSIBLE so it's easy to edit. And since I'm the person drawing it I can almost always remember who's supposed to be saying what lmao

I edit a lot, but the most major editing is also probably the last bit... when I letter my pages usually I realize "they would never say that" and so I end up rephrasing everything. My art brain is sometimes waaaaay better at phrasing hahaha. Like you can see in the finished page for this script I rewrote like basically all of it, and actually went back to the original "sketch" script in a lot of places.

Thumbnailing-> my thumbs are really big, I draw them with markers on printer paper and keep them in a binder!! I like to thumb scenes in batches and I also usually write my dialogue on them, just so I can read through them before (and while) I draw to get a feel for how the pacing works. :)

Sketching-> OH sketching is also really hard for me! I don't have a good visual imagination so it's really important for me to make sure I have good references. Last year I was especially focusing on setting.

My comic is set in Florida. I'm lucky in that I used to live there and still go back to visit sometimes, so sometimes I can gather my own reference images! But more often I start on Google Maps or Zillow, trying to find buildings that have interesting features or the right kind of "look" for what I want. I'll also look up other interesting elements, my comic is set in a post-apocalypse and I'll research home gardening and things like that which people would probably have.

For example, in this set in chapter 7, I used Google Maps images, photo references of indoor hydroponic gardening, and like, 90's-00's hacker computer setups haha. Also my BFF Roomstyler.com, where you can make 3d house interiors haha!!

Lineart-> I LOVE lineart it is my favorite!!!! I sketch and ink two pages at a time, and it usually takes somewhere between 10-12 hours to do both steps.

I actually think my art looks best when it's just lineart... but I think my STORY is better with color, like it makes it clearer and easier to read and it has a better atmosphere HAHA.

Colors-> I think it usually takes me 4-6 hours to do 2 pages (I haven't timed myself as consistently as I time my lineart and sketching). I have a big file with small copies of my previous pages that I color drop from, and my characters are all flats only. The limited palette that I use is also really handy, it streamlines coloring a LOT.

Finishing Touches-> aka I steal mercilessly from my one true love, my internet home, the beautiful and blessed Wikimedia Commons

I put lots of overlay layers on my art! I like textures so having some strange little textures or pictures on things makes my art feel a lot more finished to me.

And finally my very most favorite ✨finishing touch✨ is the bright colored/patterned gutters that I use. Here are some of my favorites that I've made and used in the past!

And that's all!! I hope you guys have a very happy Webcomics Day and find lots and lots of wonderful new things to read!!!

Maintaining Your Home Hydroponic System: Essential Tips for Success

"Hydroponic farming is a revolutionary way to grow plants without soil, making it ideal for those who want to start a sustainable garden indoors. If you’ve recently set up a hydroponic farming setup at home, regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring healthy plant growth and long-term success. At Kamala Farms, we provide not only the tools to build your hydroponic system but also the knowledge you need to maintain it properly.

Why Maintenance is Key

A well-maintained hydroponic farming setup at home ensures that your plants receive the proper nutrients, water, and light they need to thrive. Neglecting maintenance can lead to nutrient imbalances, water contamination, and plant diseases, which will affect the overall health of your garden. By following a regular maintenance routine, you can optimize growth and avoid common issues.

Essential Maintenance Tips for Home Hydroponics

Monitor Nutrient Levels Regularly

The success of your hydroponic farming setup at home depends on the balance of nutrients in the water. Check the nutrient levels frequently to ensure that your plants are getting the proper mix of elements. Most hydroponic systems require periodic adjustments to maintain the right concentration.

Use a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter or an EC (Electrical Conductivity) meter to track nutrient strength and adjust accordingly.

Maintain pH Levels

Keeping the pH level in check is crucial for nutrient absorption. The ideal pH range for most plants in a hydroponic farming setup at home is between 5.5 and 6.5. A pH level that’s too high or too low can prevent your plants from absorbing the nutrients they need.

Use a pH testing kit or a digital pH meter to monitor levels regularly and make adjustments with pH up or pH down solutions.

The current landscape of hyper-local urban farming across Asia

Globally, urban farming is evolving as cities seek innovative solutions to sustainably feed their growing urban populations. Techniques like vertical farming and hydroponics are at the forefront, allowing crops to be grown in layered setups or water-based environments, minimizing land use, and reducing water consumption.  

Urban farming in Asia presents a rich tapestry of approaches, each shaped by the unique challenges and priorities of the region’s diverse cultures and economies. The rapid urbanization and dense population clusters in Asia make urban agriculture not just a choice but a necessity, driving innovation and adaptation in several key areas. 

China 

China has become a leader in urban agriculture through heavy investment in technology and substantial government support. Initiatives like the Nanjing Green Towers, which incorporate plant life into skyscraper designs, exemplify how urban farming can be integrated into the urban landscape.  

The government has also implemented policies that encourage the development of urban farming, providing subsidies for technology such as hydroponics and aquaponics, which are vital in areas with contaminated soil or water scarcity. 

Japan 

With its limited arable land, Japan has turned to creative solutions to maximize space, such as rooftop gardens and sophisticated indoor farming facilities.  

One notable example is the Pasona Urban Farm, an office building in Tokyo where employees cultivate over 200 species of fruits, vegetables, and rice used in the building’s cafeterias.  

This not only maximizes limited space but also reduces employee stress and improves air quality. 

Singapore 

Singapore’s approach is highly strategic, with urban farming a crucial component of its national food security strategy. The city-state, known for its limited space, has developed cutting-edge vertical farming methods that are now being adopted globally.  

The government supports these innovations through grants and incentives, which has led to the success of vertical farms. These farms use tiered systems to grow vegetables close to residential areas, drastically reducing the need for food transportation and thereby lowering carbon emissions. 

India 

In contrast to the technology-driven approaches seen in other parts of Asia, India’s urban farming is largely community-driven and focuses on achieving food self-sufficiency.  

Projects like the Mumbai Port Trust Garden take unused urban spaces and convert them into flourishing community gardens. These projects are often supported by non-governmental organizations and focus on employing women, thus providing both social and economic benefits. 

Thailand 

Thailand’s urban farming initiatives often blend traditional agricultural practices with modern techniques to enhance food security in urban areas. In Bangkok, projects like the Chao Phraya Sky Park demonstrate how public spaces can be transformed into productive green areas that encourage community farming. These initiatives are supported by both local municipalities and private sectors, which see urban farming as a way to reduce food import dependency and improve urban ecological balance. 

The Philippines 

In the Philippines, urban farming is an adaptive response to urban poverty and food insecurity. Metro Manila hosts numerous community garden projects that are often grassroots-driven, with local government units providing support through land and resources. These gardens supply food and serve as educational platforms to teach urban residents about sustainable practices and nutritional awareness.
