Technical Bio-Cultivation

Plants, but with numbers.

Lighting spectra, nutrient scheduling, irrigation math, IPM, yield-per-square-foot. The science of growing, not the aesthetic of growing.

Curation rubric (what the LLM is told to look for)

Reward: PAR/PPFD numbers, controlled comparisons, biosecurity protocols, yield data, soil chemistry. Penalize: lifestyle vlogs, aesthetic farm tours, cottagecore framing without substance.
