MycoFutures North Atlantic will receive a prize package that includes $25,000 in seed funding and an advisory services package worth more than $30,000.
The goal of the competition is to help ease the transition from research laboratory to market. From Newfoundland came winners MycoFutures North Atlantic, competing beside finalists Bactana Canada Corp. and Au Naturel Solutions Inc. This year, the top three BIC finalists all had a focus on sustainability, producing high value products that are beneficial to human health and the environment.
“It was an incredible opportunity and we look forward to building a successful company right here in Atlantic Canada.” “The BioInnovation Challenge provided us with invaluable investment attraction training and resources to launch our startup with the right business plan and strategy,” said Stephanie Lipp, CEO & Co-founder, MycoFutures North Atlantic. The company is leveraging the complexity and sustainability of mycelium, the root system of fungi, to create a luxurious leather alternative that will help alleviate the environmental impact of natural and synthetic leathers currently on the market. I can germinate and veg everything seperate with a t5 light if thats better and leave them in that for 3-4 weeks.Novem- MycoFutures North Atlantic from Newfoundland was named the winner of BioNova’s Eleventh annual BioInnovation Challenge (BIC) business pitch competition at BioPort 2021. So i can use the cal-mag and dilute it by half? I really appreciate the time you took to send such a detailed message back to me. And they seem to know what they are doing. Seen Johnny's green extractions doing it on youtube. I also bought some white felt to go underneath the blocks. I think just when my table gets ready to fill. I am using another water pump inside my 50 gallon nutrient reservoir for circulation. I ran it for 24 hours to make sure i did it right. I have a 5x5 tent with a 4x4 flood and drain table. I'll probably upload a few pictures of my current grow shortly not sure yet. Do you plan on using a drip system or F2D on a bigger cube? Like an 8×8 10×10 or are you planting your current cube into soil? Fyi you can hand water cubes throughout the entire grow if that's what you choose to do you just have to get a bigger block and ph it over night to the current cubes ph and they'll work also.Hundreds of method's.lmk and I'll do my best to help. But again you can get away with just RO and Distilled water for now or use diluted cal-mag as a base nutrient. Honestly just get yourself a ph meter, ph UP & DOWN and a syringe to measure out what ever nutrients you're using and cut the into half of what the recommended dosage is that the nutrients say. If you give your plants 6.5 ph water then that's the run off with cubes and if they don't like 6.5 then you have to pay attention daily because there's no buffer like with soil if you give 6.5 in soil the run off might be 7.5 because of the ph in the soil already so you would have to go 5.5 ph to counter the soils ph if your plants are showing any signs of over feeding so testing run off water is a huge thing if you're not familiar with the type of soil that you're using but usually it has it on its package. If you gently squeeze your medium "Cube" water shouldn't run out but if you gently squeeze it with no run off and there is moisture on your thumb and pointer finger you're in the right % of happy medium.Easy easy water when they are 50% lighter then when they were after watering.Cubes don't retain water for long periods of time that's why you often see growers use a drip system with them or a flood to drain set-up because they are high maintenance and do require some skill because every single thing you give them goes straight to the roots there's no buffer like with soil. Obviously there needs to be a middle ground of oversaturation versus moist because with cubes you have to keep them moist or else the roots will dry out.Look at it this way. Definitely listen to your wife.You know the saying "Happy wife happy life" in this stage of your seedlings life you can use diluted nutrients but only because you're using cubes which means they are receiving none at all compared to soil with nutrients in them.In my personal growing journey I waited a week before using anything with cubes because the seedlings have enough to sustain themselves for that period of time.Also I think I ran by one of your other posts where people were saying the cube is to wet.Well that can and can't cause issues.
