Great primer video on advanced tea farming. I'd like to see a bit deeper of an explanation on genetics. I've found the diamond pattern 50/50 method to be a bit easier in getting the specific genes that are desired. The centralized method you use is great for getting rid of red genes, but due to the imbalance of probability of genes in certain slots, it's harder to find appropriate donor genes and it still doesn't leave you with a perfect clone. I usually prefer planting a larger set of seeds until I find an all green off the rip, and then make adjustments (usually changing H's to Y's or G's) from there to fine tune it's genetics. I also feel that a 4Y/2G clone is a bit more efficient than a 3/3 provided that the farm isn't being run by a zerg who's going to be running the beds 24/7. You get a higher yield and the 20 min you save per run doesn't earn you back the loss of yield for a while.
As a newbie tea grower I have watched several videos on tea growing, they were all as clear as mud on the process and assumed rather a large amount of knowledge beforehand. This video was the parting of the clouds, the unveiling of the tea conundrum, I can see clearly now and my tea-growing path is now clear. Thank you so much for this upload, a very entertaining and informative video indeed.
One thing I always try to remember when gathering clones for a god-clone, is I always remove all fertilizer from the planter! Each seed planted immediately consumes one fertilizer, so I don't want that wasted on a bad gene seed.
@@potat0-c7q just the speed that they grow. faster growth = faster cloning if your plants are being bottlenecked by the 'ground' attribute in the stats
I actually use fertiliser to speed up clone runs, once i've got a clone i like enough to use. Also too lazy to keep breeding until god clone, good enough is good enough for who it's for in this case lol
Found you yesterday looking for a tea tutorial and watched your beginners guide. I already knew everything in it but it was such a good video I watched the entire thing, and then went to your channel to look for an advanced guide which wasn't there yet. Then I see this uploaded today like it was meant to be. You are now my father, Tom.
Man i had me a farm and i was straight up vibing. Had teas all around i was just handing them out. Honestly it felt great running a tea farm. My teammate appreciated it as well. Was real enjoyable thanks Teaguytom!
Love your chill vibe. When folks on my server want to learn how I do my teas, I always send them to your videos, that way they can pause, go back n such. This way I dont have to do base tours & try to explain things 1000 times please Please keep doing your thing, it makes a big difference esp for us non pvp types
Paddles are a tea farmer’s best friend. They’re the only tools I know of that you can hold and still see the plants’ genetics. That makes paddles useful for culling plants based on genetics. Super soakers can be pay to win for farmers because they allow you to precisely control planter saturation without affecting planter boxes that might be above the one you’re adjusting. Read below for more about multi story farms. My usual farm is a two story two by two. This saves electricity because I can place heaters near the top of the first floor and they will heat the second floor through the floor at night. The caveat with growing on two floors is that if you have to dump water onto the first floor, it will splash evenly onto the second floor as well. I mitigate this issue by keeping water balanced between all boxes. But if I need to break the balance (for instance in the initial cloning phase when I don’t have enough clones for both floors) I will make sure the upper floor is dryer, as I can dump water onto the upper floor without affecting the one under it.
I know this is not an electrical tutorial, but the max output on the batteries does work. Alot of people just forget that electrical branches, switches, splitters, and i think a few other things take 1 power passivley while active. So if you have a medium battery with a max of 50, and then you pass it into 3 electrical branches chained together. You're actually only gonna get a max of 47 out of the battery. A trick you can do if you really need that extra output power. Run the last root combiner into a splitters. Add some more batteries near your medium/large battery, and run the power from your turbine/solar pannels into all the batteries at the same time. Then run the batteries outputs into root combiners and connect it to 1 switch. Then you have a switch with an output of all the batteries combined, -1 for the switch when powered on.
I absolutely needed this. I had no clue what the letters meant and I tried making teas so many times and failed (either took too long or poor yield/build). I've always resorted to simply picking the berries from forests. Thanks for the help!
This is so awesome, I’m a huge fan of deep dives into niche game mechanics. The music, visuals and clean editing make this a perfect watch. (I don’t even play rust, but now im tempted to boot it up and farm)
Hey Tom. Just wanted to say your style. And the way you treat people have really made an impact on me. I take things really personal when I get killed on the game. Now I congratulate them on their shots and go about my day. Part of me still wants to insult them. But I stay calm and go the Tom way. So thanks man. I’m gonna have a few questions about tea farming in the future
I'm Brazilian, and unfortunately there isn't content at this level of quality in Brazil, it's incredible how you made it seem so easy and simple what everyone else complicated, I'm not one to comment on videos, but I'm very satisfied with this content, thank you tea guy tom, I am your subordinate from today 😅
Great video. Most tutorial videos just tell you what to do, but by you explaining why as well as how makes your videos head and shoulders above them. Keep up the good work!
Camomo you never reply my DM in discord and a bot or you ban me automatic for send you a link of a gift with my question of rust :^( I tried to explain you my situation in twitch and you get mad and mute me for a month xd :^(
I literally only made circuit tools and hose tools today for the very first time because I didn't feel like doing PVP or sweating my ass off on cargo and I've been having the most fun I've ever had in rust just using the new industrial components to make auto furnace arrays and using the planter boxes to make teas for the first time. it was surprisingly hard to find videos with just normal concise information like this! thank you for sharing your knowledge and I hope to put this all to practical use in game >:3
That's awesome! It's why I made this. I just think it adds another flavor to the game that can be a nice reprieve from the typical grind and make the experience more robust. But every guide I saw was often hella technical or super RP... I just wanted to explain it in a way that makes sense to a Rust player. Glad that came across. God speed lizard girl! ☕
thank yo for this video you are the reason i build my bases with planters and make tea almost every wipe i play and because of you I was able to make my form of a ultimate tea base with 2 5x2 farms built into it
About the sprinklers. They provide indeed 15ml of water, but that's every 5s. Plants need 4-5ml of water every 60s. This leads to some differences if you're like me and want to create an electrical circuit to keep the water always at a wanted level depending on what you're farming. So with a 2x2 and 1 sprinkler in the middle or a 2x5 with 2 sprinklers you'll get 3ml per 5s which leads to 36ml per min so 36ml / 9 = 4ml so perfect for berries and no need for a complex circuit. With more water hungry plants though you won't be able to sustain the water levels over time. For those you'll need a 1x3 providing a whopping 60ml per min per planterbox or a 2x3 with 2 sprinklers (in the middle) for 48ml per min. For 5ml plants the required water amount is 45ml per min per planterbox. If you happen to be a perfectionist you'll need a circuit with a double timer for the proper fractions for your sprinklers, in the case of 2x3 setup (48ml per min) that'll be 225/240s for 5ml plants and 45/60 for 4ml. I hope my ramblings will help someone out there :D
the one and only tea video one will ever have to watch to learn about teas. "How do you expect to fight with the wolves, if you spend all day sparring with the puppies" I'm proud of you Tom! ☕
Your content came out of nowhere, and is absolutely amazing. I've spent this wipe being a tea man, and it absolutely has to be the chillest experience Ive had in my 2200 hours. Keep it up man!
That's great to hear. Everything I've learned was through years of trial and error and if I can help prevent one person from having to go through that so they can just make a cool tea farm and just play Rust then I call it a win. Thanks for checking out the video! ☕
i have watched so many tea farm videos and just cant get it to my head, but i think this video was the video i was waiting for the whole time. I think im gonna nail it this time! thank you! :)
This is by far the best rust tutorial ever! Thank you so much! I have over 2.5k console hours and could not for the life of me, figure out how to crossbreed or use a root combiner. I’m so excited to play rust now!
Nah, lots of people are lazy and even more of them are stupid enough to not know how to calculate 3*7 (looking at that twitch rivals event 🤦🏻♂️) Lots of people don't even know how to set up automatic furnaces which is the most basic circuit in the game
Today I wanted to Dabble in the tea world, I was having a difficult time trying to figure out how to figure it out, I came across your video with the details abs out is by the the best one out there cheers to your teas I cannot wait to try this on a new server tomorrow thank you
Not only did I not understand most of this video, I haven’t even watched the beginner or intermediate tutorials. Still one of my favorite videos I’ve watched based on the editing and flow. Ez subscribe👍
Tom, after watching your video i had some urge to grow some tea and now i'm enjoying another side of rust, a side which is full of peace, joy and ofcourse tea. Thank you
Thanks man! Honestly, this video was a struggle. I started working on around the end of last year just trying to really boil down the actual numbers. Running experiments and doing testing. Which was hard enough in itself then to try and explain it in a way that doesn't come across like a corporate powerpoint presentation. It... it took a while. Appreciate the comment. Keep killing it. ☕
Thanks for the video Tom, since i learned farming long ago some things changed, and im not sure if it was always a rule but the no clear winner rule was new to me. this was a good refresher and very efficient video
Lights pass down through halfwalls, so can shelf more planters, water passes up through floor pieces and also waters planters above it, so you should be able to do the same thing vertically if your short on space.
sweet video i always come back to. i would call myself an experienced farmer now and i would like to inform y'all that there is triangle-planters coming into the game and the sprinklers decimal losses got changed a bunch ago as well. i think this video deserves an update.
Such a wholesome video. Not a farmer myself, never understood it before, but this is so inspiring. Sharing it to my Rust community and trying it out soon
A few fact checks, not necessarily mistakes in the video, also might be some corrections due to updates since the video is over a year old. Large batteries - output is 100rWm, you can use full 100 with no issues as opposed to 75 Tom recommends, considering you are supplying the battery with enough power. Not a lot of players know this, but batteries charge at 80% efficiency. That being said, if you want your battery to consume 100rWm and charge at 100rWm, supply it with at least 125rWm. You can do this by combining multiple power sources through root combiners and using branches to send exact amount of power into the battery. Same goes for medium battery Salt water - 2 pumps are enough to power water purifier and 6 sprinklers with positive water output. I usually use a branch set to 15rWm into a splitter, then power all three of those I checked only circuitry and plumbing since I wanted to optimize my 4x4 cluster and noticed these two irregularities. Went from using 6 sprinklers on 4x4 to 4.. Thanks Tom!
You didn't get into heaters in this video but from all the farming i've done the only reliable layout for heaters is to put low walls for every pair of planters and 1 heater can 100% the temperature for only 2 planters (at all times, you can get further planters to 100% if it's warm outside but will drop when it's cold). The heaters do project heat a little bit but not enough to get the further planters at 100% at all times (particularly in snow or desert at night). The layout i scale is 2x3 where I have 2 sprinklers right in the middle across all 6 planters and then lights for every 4 planters (if only doing a single module there is overlap but you can scale that up to reduce overlaps) and 3 heaters where i have 1 heater for every pair of planters. This layout serves me well and when converting into pure teas leaves little leftovers.
Your video has gotten my teen excited to play Rust! I’ve been waiting a long time for this! I’ll smack trees if it gets him excited, thank you for making the vids, excited to apply your concepts!
The editing and writing on this is your best yet. Entertaining, educational, and the joke about "we're not splitting atoms here..." was so perfect. It's amazing how stressed people get about games. :)
Salute to you Tea Guy Tom this vid was beyond helpful and the chilled vibe of it was awesome. I was worried this AM when i started a round of hemp would it die before i got home on lunch. But it seems certain plants have a harvest window? cool!
When i tried to learn farming i seen so many complex videos i got nothing from, now i randomly see this in my recommended and i know everything about farming.
Love the video. The last Rust update apparently fixed the waster water issue, not sure how much that will affect your designs though. keep up the good work
You are the tea goat! everything I know about teas came from you thanks for this amazing video and making me wanna go ingame and start a tea farm! This type of content if amazing educational and simple to understand! amazing work!
I always use 4x6 planters, 6 sprinklers, and 3 water pump per set. So my set still inefficient as the pump is too much and water not equal divide. Good info, thanks
Learned something new - I was wondering why the first/last and 4th genes were always such trouble getting G or Y, now I know. Will start saving clones that have good genes in those slots more often when crossbreeding. I normally run a 2x6 based farm (the long boy) with 4 sprinklers hitting 3 boxes each per level, one pump, and two small batteries with a solar each - one running the pump and one running the lights. I upgrade to a medium if i add a 2nd level, large for 3 or more. Solar panels N works for the first week of the wipe, then point them S, then N again at the 3rd week, S again at the 4th week if you're on a month wipe server for example but that's just min/maxing if you're close to the limit on electricity.
Tom, you can stack large planters on half floors and have them function thus doubling output. I've developed a base design that has good movability for indentured farmers for big clans fully defended. It's tricky to get the bottom floor lights so it's best to build in sections as you have to get the wire tool just right depending on how you build it. Enjoy!
how would you go about placing the sprinklers and lights as well as hooking them up with the design at 15:40 ? im still trying to learn farming in rust so im trying to replay the video to the parts i need for the questions i have but im still confused at this part.. i play a PVE server ( funny ik but its a good pass time ) and they have test gens so i have eseentially 3 large batts in1 test gen and would like to know how to optimize it the best.. my current setup some planters get WAYY more water than the others and i though it was because the daisy chain each sprinkler loses water each passthrough.. ( theyre placed between every 2 planters.. )
TeaGuyTom somehow hitting everything I have wanted out of gaming channel- jazz standards and a somewhat relaxing task in a game that is cruel and time consuming. Watching with a cup of Earl Grey. Cheers
Texray... You understand my blueprint. Try some lapsang souchong, it's super weird. It's like drinking Laphroaig in a tea form. Thanks for checking it out and giving it a comment. God speed. ☕
Great video! This is something I've had to learn... play the game however you want. Not ever wipe has to be a sweatfest of pvp. Sometimes you just adopt the quiet farm life
You should definitely make more videos.... kinda new to Rust (even though I've owned it since release) and these are great knowledge and great videos..... one thing I've learned elsewhere though that you got incorrect, solar panel placement, facing north if you're south of the equator of the map, south if you're north.... not always north
I played a couple of wipes seeing just how much i could get done with a single small rechargeable battery, just after they released the electric furnaces and industrial update. It's surprisingly quite a lot, and good fun finding out
When i design my farms, i usually place sprinkler in the middle of 4 planters, and put light somewhere close to it, since lamp position is not that crucial compared to misplaced sprinkler :)
@@Wendifur_ maybe, if you align it between textures of 4 floor tiles it's hard to mess up, and if you are doing large farms, alignment is just necessary Edit. just read your comment closely, i never use more than 4 planters per sprinkler, so you are right, if you are doing like 6 planters, it's harder to put sprinkler in a correct position :P
Have you played around with the modular car tank? I found that you can utilize the 500 water output to feed quite a few sprinklers. Plus, it acts as a nice reservoir. I use it in my farms to cut down on pumps.
Topics I'd love to see if you ever did another guide: what ratio of berries do you usually plant? Likewise, what ratio of teas do you generally make? How about pricing for teas?
Glad you got something from it. I did every mistake you can imagine and learned the hardest way possible. Hopefully this can give you a bit more information for your next round. ☕
A very nice intro to farming, missing some details but really well done. Re:solar panels, with 3 you will get more (ish) power over the day by having one at N one at NNE and one at NNW (North by north east and west, kinda halfway to north from NE or NW) this will mean one panel kicks on early in the day and the other kicks off late in the day. really handy to know if you are pushing limits on your power usage.
Thanks for checking this out! A thousand Teas to you and yours. ☕
Best tea farmer!
I’ll be watching all of your videos backwards in time, first vid I’ve watched of yours
Where do i find these free world build servers?

If Alton Brown played rust his name would be Tea Guy Tom.
The quality of this video is stunning. Excellent work.
So true!
Lights pass down through halfwalls, so can shelf more planters, water passes up through floor pieces and also waters planters above it, so you should be able to do the same thing vertically if your short on space.
finally a good explanation on how to do this sorcery. you just earned a sub
sweet video i always come back to. i would call myself an experienced farmer now and i would like to inform y'all that there is triangle-planters coming into the game and the sprinklers decimal losses got changed a bunch ago as well. i think this video deserves an update.
Giving you a like bro, you made the genetic letters soo much easier to understand thanks
Thanks for coming through Daarms. I promise you it was all through years of being confused. gg. ☕
Such a wholesome video. Not a farmer myself, never understood it before, but this is so inspiring. Sharing it to my Rust community and trying it out soon
This was so well edited!!
This is the best video on teas I could ever possibly imagine, good work
Appreciate it. It was a lot to make. ☕
A few fact checks, not necessarily mistakes in the video, also might be some corrections due to updates since the video is over a year old.
Large batteries - output is 100rWm, you can use full 100 with no issues as opposed to 75 Tom recommends, considering you are supplying the battery with enough power. Not a lot of players know this, but batteries charge at 80% efficiency. That being said, if you want your battery to consume 100rWm and charge at 100rWm, supply it with at least 125rWm. You can do this by combining multiple power sources through root combiners and using branches to send exact amount of power into the battery. Same goes for medium battery
Salt water - 2 pumps are enough to power water purifier and 6 sprinklers with positive water output. I usually use a branch set to 15rWm into a splitter, then power all three of those
I checked only circuitry and plumbing since I wanted to optimize my 4x4 cluster and noticed these two irregularities. Went from using 6 sprinklers on 4x4 to 4.. Thanks Tom!
I am so glad that there is another tea farmer out there
extremely high quality content for your channel size
Thanks! I'm trying my best. Hyped when anyone checks out my videos. ☕
You didn't get into heaters in this video but from all the farming i've done the only reliable layout for heaters is to put low walls for every pair of planters and 1 heater can 100% the temperature for only 2 planters (at all times, you can get further planters to 100% if it's warm outside but will drop when it's cold). The heaters do project heat a little bit but not enough to get the further planters at 100% at all times (particularly in snow or desert at night). The layout i scale is 2x3 where I have 2 sprinklers right in the middle across all 6 planters and then lights for every 4 planters (if only doing a single module there is overlap but you can scale that up to reduce overlaps) and 3 heaters where i have 1 heater for every pair of planters. This layout serves me well and when converting into pure teas leaves little leftovers.
you only need 2 heaters
This was very calming and chill, nice job bruv 👏
Appreciate you. ☕
Going to be using this vid to help with my new berry bases, ty awesome video!
Hell yeah Gus! Keep killing it. You play like a proper Tea-Believer. ☕
Your video has gotten my teen excited to play Rust! I’ve been waiting a long time for this! I’ll smack trees if it gets him excited, thank you for making the vids, excited to apply your concepts!
Man this video has helped me so much, getting into farming on rust. Thank you lord teatom
Glad it helped. God speed benjamin! ☕
Best video on tea in rust. Glad you did this. Looking forward trying the 4 sprinklers 2 story 2x5 idea. GG ;)
The editing and writing on this is your best yet. Entertaining, educational, and the joke about "we're not splitting atoms here..." was so perfect. It's amazing how stressed people get about games. :)
I don't even make tea farms but i still watched the whole thing amazing video keep it up
Haven’t even watched it yet but I know this is the best rust video I’ve seen this month
this was the best explanation for tea farming ive seen 👍
a major help, gonna use this for wipe tomorrow 👍🏻 wholesome content definitely subbed thanks tea guy Tom
Salute to you Tea Guy Tom this vid was beyond helpful and the chilled vibe of it was awesome. I was worried this AM when i started a round of hemp would it die before i got home on lunch. But it seems certain plants have a harvest window? cool!
Thank you for making this video! Another was a bit wrong with the lights and water!
When i tried to learn farming i seen so many complex videos i got nothing from, now i randomly see this in my recommended and i know everything about farming.
Love the video. The last Rust update apparently fixed the waster water issue, not sure how much that will affect your designs though. keep up the good work
such amazing editing bro. love the video keep it up.
I feel so fulfilled watching teaguytom
Edited and built for sake of bringing some semblance of joy to the true hero: DirtyTrout. Thanks for giving it a watch big homie. ☕
Amazing educational video it’s cut up into segments perfect great job!
You are the tea goat! everything I know about teas came from you thanks for this amazing video and making me wanna go ingame and start a tea farm! This type of content if amazing educational and simple to understand! amazing work!
It's a great way to play, kinda shakes up your normal wipe. It can be frustrating, but definitely worth a try. Thanks for checking out the video! ☕
TAE GUIY TOM UPLOAD IO LOVE YOYU TEA GUY TOME LETSGOOO TEA TEA TEA TEA TEA YAE I LOVE TEA!!!!🍵
would love a video on ur favorite farm base u use the most in detail
"when you plant a seed, you get six slots. Which is a reallly hard sentence to say" hahahaha
Love the vibe! Superb quality vid
Even reading it now I'm stumbling over it. Thanks for checking it out. ☕
🐐
HOLY BALLS. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST GUIDE OUT
Found you from spoon kid I’m a pve rust noob who loves farming so this video was amazing
I always use 4x6 planters, 6 sprinklers, and 3 water pump per set. So my set still inefficient as the pump is too much and water not equal divide. Good info, thanks
Im not even playing the game but I still find this very entertaining keep grinding mr Tom
Learned something new - I was wondering why the first/last and 4th genes were always such trouble getting G or Y, now I know. Will start saving clones that have good genes in those slots more often when crossbreeding. I normally run a 2x6 based farm (the long boy) with 4 sprinklers hitting 3 boxes each per level, one pump, and two small batteries with a solar each - one running the pump and one running the lights. I upgrade to a medium if i add a 2nd level, large for 3 or more. Solar panels N works for the first week of the wipe, then point them S, then N again at the 3rd week, S again at the 4th week if you're on a month wipe server for example but that's just min/maxing if you're close to the limit on electricity.
My God this is over the top and awesome! Thanks I thought you just put the seed in the box and give it water, there's so much more 😮
Tom, you can stack large planters on half floors and have them function thus doubling output. I've developed a base design that has good movability for indentured farmers for big clans fully defended. It's tricky to get the bottom floor lights so it's best to build in sections as you have to get the wire tool just right depending on how you build it. Enjoy!
Solid tip. ☕
damm, you're the goat, i watched like, a thousand videos tryind to understand that shit, and couldn't, but you were easy and calm, ggs man, tysm !
how would you go about placing the sprinklers and lights as well as hooking them up with the design at 15:40 ? im still trying to learn farming in rust so im trying to replay the video to the parts i need for the questions i have but im still confused at this part.. i play a PVE server ( funny ik but its a good pass time ) and they have test gens so i have eseentially 3 large batts in1 test gen and would like to know how to optimize it the best.. my current setup some planters get WAYY more water than the others and i though it was because the daisy chain each sprinkler loses water each passthrough.. ( theyre placed between every 2 planters.. )
I love you TGT I am now a full time Berry Farmer when I play a wipe because of you
TeaGuyTom somehow hitting everything I have wanted out of gaming channel- jazz standards and a somewhat relaxing task in a game that is cruel and time consuming. Watching with a cup of Earl Grey. Cheers
Texray... You understand my blueprint. Try some lapsang souchong, it's super weird. It's like drinking Laphroaig in a tea form. Thanks for checking it out and giving it a comment. God speed. ☕
Great video! This is something I've had to learn... play the game however you want. Not ever wipe has to be a sweatfest of pvp. Sometimes you just adopt the quiet farm life
Absolutely! And honestly, the sweat fest will find your door at some point so you can have best of both worlds. ☕
You should definitely make more videos.... kinda new to Rust (even though I've owned it since release) and these are great knowledge and great videos..... one thing I've learned elsewhere though that you got incorrect, solar panel placement, facing north if you're south of the equator of the map, south if you're north.... not always north
This was fantastic! Easy to follow, chill and informative.
I love your editing style.
I played a couple of wipes seeing just how much i could get done with a single small rechargeable battery, just after they released the electric furnaces and industrial update. It's surprisingly quite a lot, and good fun finding out
Slept on for sure. Sigbog put a video up recently talking about this and he's right. Underrated. ☕
Tom, i absolutely LOVE you first of all. second, could you PLEASE make a deep dive on getting decent clones?
This is a great video 👍 so much covered and jo over explanation!
When i design my farms, i usually place sprinkler in the middle of 4 planters, and put light somewhere close to it, since lamp position is not that crucial compared to misplaced sprinkler :)
If you put it in the middle, you run the risk of touching other planters if you have more than 4
@@Wendifur_ maybe, if you align it between textures of 4 floor tiles it's hard to mess up, and if you are doing large farms, alignment is just necessary
Edit. just read your comment closely, i never use more than 4 planters per sprinkler, so you are right, if you are doing like 6 planters, it's harder to put sprinkler in a correct position :P
Have you played around with the modular car tank? I found that you can utilize the 500 water output to feed quite a few sprinklers. Plus, it acts as a nice reservoir. I use it in my farms to cut down on pumps.
Absolutely a play. There's a video where Konfuzion pulled this off to great success. ☕
Best Rust tea tutorial I’ve seen
Topics I'd love to see if you ever did another guide: what ratio of berries do you usually plant? Likewise, what ratio of teas do you generally make? How about pricing for teas?
this is so fun i scored a nice cave base for one of my first rust farms as a solo then started a shop above so fun!!!
HIGHLY informative. I've been doing 1:1 planter/light/sprinkler due to a lack of willingness to glance at numbers or empirically test anything
Glad you got something from it. I did every mistake you can imagine and learned the hardest way possible. Hopefully this can give you a bit more information for your next round. ☕
@@TeaGuyTom it is the way
A very nice intro to farming, missing some details but really well done.
Re:solar panels, with 3 you will get more (ish) power over the day by having one at N one at NNE and one at NNW (North by north east and west, kinda halfway to north from NE or NW) this will mean one panel kicks on early in the day and the other kicks off late in the day. really handy to know if you are pushing limits on your power usage.
the music, the commentary, the content ..........ah perfection
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate you. ☕
I have been waiting for this! Love the content TGT.
