Project 1 - Plan for Iterating

Planning to Iterate

Plants could choke if they are grown too close to each other. I should research the best distances between the plants for the placement of grow cups.
Make sure the grow cups are placed at the correct height above the water so the plants won’t drown.
Offer more tray configurations with different placements of grow cups to allow more types of plants grown.
Make the top of the tray detachable so the tray can be easily and cheaply reconfigured to grow different plants.
Create a new lighting system or make the height of the system adjustable.
Choose a good growing medium to regulate the amount of water that reaches the plants.
