Canonical overview
What FlavoRotor is
FlavoRotor is a rotating, sensorised hydroponic R&D platform designed to discover and validate crop-specific cultivation recipes by linking measured growing conditions to chemical and sensory outcomes. The longer-term pathway is to reproduce validated plant-level targets on other units and commercial farms.Three connected layers
Physical experimentation unit
Status: Three working prototype iterations are reported; selected v2 subsystems remain documented designs pending calibration.
Executes controlled cultivation treatments and records the environment experienced by the plant.
Experiment and recipe-validation system
Status: The current research and validation framework is publicly documented; controlled biological validation remains pending.
Turns a crop-specific target into calibrated inputs, measured outcomes, uncertainty, replication and a versioned recipe.
Recipe network and farm-transfer pathway
Status: Planned commercial layer and validation pathway, not a demonstrated production deployment.
Aims to reproduce and compare validated recipes and translate plant-level targets into separate system-specific farm recipes.
