Cultivation Rack Initial Setup
Choose an initial commissioning preset for the cultivation trays (1 vertical tiers × 8 trays = 8 Total). This populates all plant ages, biological stages, and nutrient dosing triggers:
Cold-Start Ramp-Up Schedule (Recommended for Blank Racks)
Realistic Blank Start
Sows Batch 1 (e.g. Tray #1 Moong & Tray #2 Broccoli) today at Day 0 under blackout domes. Places remaining trays in clean standby with scheduled future sowing dates (Δτ = (D_cycle + 2d)/k) and mandatory 2-day H₂O₂ mesh sanitization & seed pre-soak turnaround buffers.
Continuous Steady-State (Established Mid-Season Rack)
Rolling Ages
Distributes trays across rolling growth stages (from Day 1 germination up to ready for harvest). Ideal only if your rack already has crops growing at different ages.
Day-1 Commissioning (Only 2 Trays Sown)
Day 0 Start
Sows Batch 1 (Trays #1 & #2) today at Day 0 under blackout domes. Leaves the other 6 trays completely empty.
Synchronize with Active LP Optimizer Plan
Commercial Plan
Allocates all 8 trays to match the exact mathematical tray counts from the MILP linear programming solver, placing low-light crops in Tier 1 and high-DLI crops in Tier 3.
Clean Slate (All 8 Trays Standby)
Clean Rack
Sets all 8 trays to Clean / Empty. Perfect for setting up custom sowing schedules or manual tray-by-tray tracking from scratch.
