Seni nods and messages Sefoni.

blue-sky-thinking: That would be great, more people to think of ideas.

So Sefoni and Tepam can go ask Lesi.

Lesi is interested! Do any of the people at the table want to help, too? 

Ita wants to help with the gardening. The Greys still technically have homework.

Technically, Lesi does too... The same homework, even. Oh well, she'll do it with Mika later. 

To the garden, then! Sefoni becomes obviously more cheerful once they reach it. She still stays a bit behind the others once they get close to the table, though. Seni is a little bit intimidating. 

"Hi, what are we doing?" Lesi asks, pulling herself up into a chair. 

"We're going to make a place to grow things underground, but we don't know a lot about gardening. And we were thinking of things to do with the magic the three of us have," he motions to Tepam and Lesi and himself.

"I can help with the gardening too, if you want." She is not sure if it's the sort of thing that requires two purples.

Tepam bounces. "That sounds fun!"

Seni nods at Ita and Tepam. "I think we need to figure out how many lights we are going to need? And how much space?"

"Tools ...and kinds of plants?"

"If you're making an indoor garden, especially if you're going to grow food, you're going to need soil with lots of nutrients. And you'll need to set up a system for watering them, too. And it's important to make sure the lights are the right kind of light, too. Are they full-spectrum like sunlight? Cause if they're not they might not be able to feed the plants." 

"Yes, they are, just like sunlight. I think we can get good soil? And water?" Tepam asks looking at Seni.

Seni nods. "We don't need to make lots of food right away, though it would be impressive. And we can get a place that has water. It's going to be a basement level, I think."

"If we can get lots of water we could do hydroponics instead," she adds. "It's harder to set up but lots of our food gets grown that way cause it takes up less space, and it lets people control the crops better." 

"Could we do some of both?"

"Might depend on how much space we have available. But I will write that down."

"It's also hard to say how many lights we'll need until we know how much space we'll have," Lesi points out.

"Do we have somewhere that would work, or are they gonna have to build it? I know we've got basement levels..." 

"Oh, we just need to figure out the ratio of light per floor space."

"And the first step of any project is figuring all the things you need to know before you pick a location."

Nodnod, "That makes sense. So what else do we need to know? I think we'll need to actually test the lights to see how many we'll need per square meter, right? So that should be something for later. For now... we need to know what should be grown, and what else we need to grow it, and probably who we need to do this... Do you know some of this stuff, Sefoni?"

Sefoni knows a bunch of this stuff! If she were a normal purple in a normal purple school she would already be aiming for agriculture track. She can make suggestions for plant types and note down the tools they'll need and she can show them the right websites to find more information on the topic, too! 

And Tepam knows how to check the light levels and how to set up experiments. They can do different light levels to check for efficiency too. And maybe see if their warming/cooling rings help with plants that need certain temperatures.
