Where it is recorded

Taxonomy record sources: GBIF (CC BY 4.0), POWO (CC BY 4.0), USDA_PLANTS_GATE2 (Public Domain). Loaded from the botanica open cultivated-plant knowledge base and the GBIF backbone; each row keeps its origin.

Growth stages

  • Vegetative: about 28 days (18/6 light)
  • Flower: about 63 days (flip to 12/12)

What the sources say it wants

Each line shows the band, then the kind of source and the citation. "Published" means the number is printed on the cited page; "derived" means it was computed from published numbers with the formula recorded on the row; "external API" rows are refreshed nightly from a live source; "curated" rows are OAT's own working values from June 2026.

Keystone status

Complete under the keystone KEEP rule: at least one growth stage and at least one band in each of light, air and root zone. This crop can be assembled into a grow recipe and a control contract.

Generated 2026-09-15 from the OAT plant keystone. Source types and citations are carried on every row; the keystone snapshot that the Library instruments read is plant-targets.json and its quality sheet is plant-targets.quality.json.
