Indoor Hemp Cultivation and Automated Grow Pots

guide

Automated grow pots accelerate industrial hemp farming indoors without requiring open soil plots or natural sunlight.

Sourcing Hemp Seeds and Field Crops

Acquiring initial crop genetics requires exploring natural landscapes and ruins. Explorers can find Hemp Seeds inside village plains house chests, jungle temple loot chests, or by harvesting wild hemp plants.

Breaking a mature hemp plant drops:

Hemp Leaf: The primary leafy biomass used for extraction, biofuels, and composites.
Hemp Fibers: Tough plant threads used for textiles, cords, and grinder components.
Hemp Seeds: Seeds used for replanting or pressing into hash oil.

Establishing outdoor starter plots on tilled soil next to water channels allows farmers to multiply early seed yields before transitioning to indoor equipment.

Constructing the Grow Pot

Indoor agricultural facilities use dedicated grow pots to eliminate farmland trampling and hydration logistics. In a crafting table, assemble a grow pot with:

6 Hemp Plastic (filling the left and right vertical columns)
1 Hemp Core in the center slot
1 water bucket in the bottom center slot

This pattern crafts 1 Grow Pot. The self-contained irrigation system provides ideal moisture, allowing crops to mature rapidly in compact underground layouts. Placing grow pots in vertical arrays maximizes factory footprint efficiency.

Soil Fertilizers and Growth Additives

Enhancing crop yields requires custom chemical soil amendments:

Bat Guano: Combining 1 bone meal, 1 charcoal, and 1 compost produces 2 Bat Guano.
Blood Meal: Combining 1 rotten flesh, 1 cat urine bottle, and 1 bone meal produces 2 Blood Meal.
Wood Ash: Combining 1 gray concrete powder, 1 charcoal, and 1 gunpowder yields 2 Wood Ash.
Potash Boost: Combining 1 empty vial, 1 Wood Ash, and 1 bone meal produces 2 Potash Boost.
Potassium Reducer: Combining 1 empty vial, 1 chorus fruit, and 1 glow berries crafts 2 Potassium Reducer.

Applying these amendments to growing plants accelerates harvest intervals and boosts flower density.

Manufacturing Hemp Plastic from Bio Composite

Industrial expansion relies heavily on bioplastics derived from hemp crops:

Combining 1 hemp hammer with 3 Hemp Leaf and 1 Hemp Fibers in a crafting table yields 1 Bio Composite. An extractor can also refine 1 Hemp Leaf into 1 Bio Composite.
Smelting 1 Bio Composite inside a standard furnace produces 1 Hemp Plastic.
