Microclimate Lab - 3-Year Development Plan

Purpose

Build a practical monitoring layer for indoor and small-scale growing systems.

Year 1

• measure temperature and humidity;
• compare shelf-level conditions;
• test airflow effects;
• select reliable sensors;
• start simple logs.

Year 2

• connect data to Sprout Lab and Balcony Pot House;
• improve sensor placement;
• test dashboards;
• document useful thresholds.

Year 3

• reuse the monitoring pattern for greenhouse and field projects;
• reduce manual checking;
• keep only sensors that produce useful decisions.
