Async job orchestration engine for the pyfarm platform.

Seed/substrate/nutrient stock, re-order alerts, cost tracking

Core automation engine: GrowSpec state machine, sensor → setpoint → actuator loop, safety interlocks, alerts ✅

Versioned, shareable grow recipe library built on the GrowSpec format — a package index for cultivation plans

Shared base models, event bus, protocols. The common type system

Organic certification, GAP/HACCP audit trails, spray diaries

ET-based scheduling, drip/flood-drain, water quality/budget

Vectorised/parallel numerical computation for large-scale multi-room operations

Camera-based plant monitoring: automated disease/deficiency detection from images, growth stage identification, yield estimation from timelapse, contamination alerts (especially relevant for mushroom grows).

Water treatment — RO systems, UV sterilisation, bicarbonate adjustment, rainwater harvesting, grey water recycling. Distinct from pyfarm-irrigation (scheduling) and pyfarm-hydroponics (nutrient solution). Source water quality is a prerequisite for both.

Fleet management across multiple grow locations - aggregate dashboards, centralised alert routing, per-site config inheritance.

Post-harvest processing — drying, curing, lacto-fermentation, kombucha, wine/cider from harvested fruit. What happens after harvest.

Substrate preparation, composting, vermicomposting, bokashi. The input supply chain — making the growing media rather than just using it. Closes the circular economy loop from pyfarm-soil.

Nutrient solution management for NFT, DWC, Kratky, ebb-and-flow systems. EC/pH dosing, reservoir top-up, formulation recipes by stage. pyfarm-soil covers substrate amendments — it does NOT cover hydroponic solution chemistry. These are fundamentally different domains.

Allotment/community garden site management: plot allocation, member management, shared resource scheduling (water taps, tools, compost), crop rotation across tenant plots.

Outdoor, allotment, and home garden planning — non-automated. Companion planting, succession schedules, frost date database, raised bed/plot layout.

strain provenance, trait recording, seed bank, breeding records
