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.

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.

Clean the System Regularly

Regular cleaning is necessary to prevent algae, mold, and bacteria from growing in your hydroponic farming setup at home. These contaminants can clog the system and harm your plants. Clean the water reservoir, tubing, and grow trays periodically to maintain optimal conditions.

How Kamala Farms Can Help

At Kamala Farms, we not only help you build your hydroponic farming setup at home but also offer guidance on maintaining it. Our team of experts is available to assist with any questions about nutrient management, system cleaning, or troubleshooting common issues. By providing ongoing support, we ensure your home hydroponic system remains healthy and productive.

Conclusion

Maintaining your hydroponic farming setup at home is essential for achieving long-term success. Regular monitoring of nutrient levels, pH balance, water quality, and cleaning routines will keep your system running efficiently. With the right care and guidance from Kamala Farms, you can enjoy a thriving, sustainable home garden that yields fresh, healthy crops year-round. "

I could literally feel myself shifting out of my hyperfocus on turtles and was really hoping I would switch over to tremors again but instead i have landed on hydroponics so. I will get around to making gifs and stuff eventually (most likely slowly, but y'all already know how I am), so feel free to leave suggestions or requests for stuff.

In the meantime I will be rolling in plant facts.

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!!!

Budgeting for Hydroponic Farming: From Seed to Harvest

"Hydroponic farming is becoming an increasingly popular method for growing plants without soil, offering a more sustainable and efficient way to produce crops. However, before diving into hydroponics, it’s essential to understand the financial investment required. Budgeting properly will help ensure that your hydroponic farm is both successful and cost-effective. At Kamala Farms, we guide aspiring farmers in planning their journey from seed to harvest, including understanding the hydroponic setup cost.

Factors That Affect Hydroponic Setup Cost

The hydroponic setup cost can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the system, the type of crops you intend to grow, and the complexity of the technology you choose. Here are some of the major components that impact the cost:

Type of Hydroponic System: There are several types of hydroponic systems such as NFT (Nutrient Film Technique), DWC (Deep Water Culture), and Aeroponics. The complexity and scale of the system significantly affect the overall cost. For instance, a basic setup like a Kratky method will cost much less than a fully automated NFT system.

Grow Lights: For indoor hydroponic setups, grow lights are essential for plant growth. The cost of these lights can vary based on the type (LED, fluorescent, or HID) and the number required for your growing space.

Nutrient Solutions: Plants in a hydroponic system require nutrient-rich water to grow. The quality and quantity of these nutrient solutions can also impact your hydroponic setup cost over time, as replenishment will be needed regularly.

Cost Breakdown: From Seed to Harvest

To give you a rough idea, a small-scale hydroponic system for home use may cost anywhere from ₹10,000 to ₹30,000. For a medium-sized commercial system, the hydroponic setup cost could range from ₹1 lakh to ₹10 lakh, depending on the size and complexity. Here’s a general breakdown of typical expenses:

Initial Setup: This includes the hydroponic system, lights, and grow containers. For small-scale setups, this can range between ₹5,000 and ₹20,000.

Nutrients and Seeds: Monthly costs for nutrient solutions and seeds can vary depending on the crops, typically ranging from ₹500 to ₹2,000.

Electricity and Water: Operating costs for grow lights, water pumps, and other equipment need to be factored in, averaging ₹1,000 to ₹3,000 per month, depending on the system’s size.

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.
