hydroponics data collectionThe main goal for the project is to provide an intern with hands-on experience in maintaining a hydroponic system while supporting a up and coming social enterprise that is trying to develop a peat free horticulture substrate.
The intern will work with Typha Co.'s Grower Technician to implement growing trial and that growing regimens are followed while ensuring effective data collection.
Assist Typha Co.'s Grower Technician in testing and grow trial protocols by :
-Ensuring maintenance and monitoring of the hydroponic grow system
- Collaborating with the team to conduct experiments and analyze results
- Assisting in the documentation of processes and outcomes
Personal mentorship directly under the supervision of Typha Co.'s Grower Technician. The intern will be taught on how to operate the indoor growing system, and will have regular check in.
About the company
Typha Co. is sustaining long-term remediation efforts for Lake Winnipeg‘s environmental crisis by repurposing run-off nutrients into horticulture products (e.g soilless grow media, soil amendments, flowerpots, etc.). Not only does the consumption of our product advance a circular system for nutrient capture initiatives, but it also displaces the use of unsustainable alternatives used by growers (notably peat moss, coco coir, & rockwool).
