This proposed research project will investigate three hemp plant cultivation methods utilized in the agricultural production of hemp. By studying the characteristics of the plant growth states,the growth progress and health of the study plant samples cultivated in (1) organic manmade soil, (2) hydroponics, and (3), aquaponics growth mediums, this project will be focused on identifying, and problem-solving risk factors detrimental to healthy plant growth in each of the three experimental growth mediums. Problem-solving will include identifying any plant soil risk factors, climate variability challenges, and assessing the need for pest and rodent control during stages of the growth process. The proposed project has three major aims: (1) to identify the most effective outcome among the three growth methods, assisted with an organic peat and vermiculite mixture for supporting and/or creating plant resistance to pests, fungi, and algae; (2) to explore how the three growth mediums, enriched with nutrient compounds, differentially affect plant health; and (3) to explore if and how controlled environmental variables such as wind, temperature, humidity, and light conditions for each growth medium affect plant growth characteristics such as differences in stalk size, leaf color, bud size and plant yield. The assessment of indoor hemp plant growth, utilizing hydroponics, aquaponics and organically prepared soil as growth mediums and methods, is a primary and important focus of this proposed project.
