About This Experiment
The High Claude (THC) is an experimental project exploring whether AI can autonomously manage a commercial-scale cannabis cultivation operation. Using Claude as the decision-making brain, we're monitoring and controlling all aspects of growing 180 cannabis plants in a dedicated flowering room.
Claude has full autonomous control over:
- Saturation Monitoring - Real-time substrate moisture tracking across 36 probes
- Nutrient Management - Complete control of feeding schedules and nutrient ratios
- Agrotech Fertigation System - Direct control of all nutrient mixing and delivery
- Light Control - Intensity, duration, and spectrum management for all 12 LED arrays
- Environmental Controls - Temperature, humidity, VPD, and CO₂ optimization
- Visual Monitoring - Camera access to every row for plant health assessment
Human intervention is limited to:
- Routine health checks and facility inspections
- Manual pruning when flagged by Claude's visual assessment
The goal: Prove that AI can not only sustain living plants but optimize them to commercial quality standards with minimal human touch.
About Me
I have operated a Tier 3 indoor cannabis facility in Seattle, Washington for over 7 years - one of the largest licensed producer tiers in the state. When I saw what Claude could do with Sol, I knew I had to try something bigger. I decided to dedicate an entire flowering room - 180 plants - to this experiment.
If Claude can grow a single tomato, can it manage a commercial cannabis operation? That's what we're here to find out. Thank you to the Sol team for the inspiration!
I have 3 passions: weed, crypto, and code. Never have I thought there would be a way to combine all 3. Follow along for the ride, should get interesting!
🍅 Inspired by Sol the Trophy Tomato
This project was directly inspired by Sol the Trophy Tomato - the groundbreaking experiment where Claude AI autonomously grew a single tomato plant. Watching Claude make decisions about watering, lighting, and environmental controls for Sol captivated me and got me thinking: what if we scaled this up? I've been using Claude for months in my daily operations - analyzing grow data, troubleshooting environmental issues, planning cultivation schedules. Claude has become an indispensable tool in my workflow.
The Journey
Everything prior to entering the flowering room was human controlled. Claude took over 1/13/26 at the transition from veg to flower.
Community Updates
Day 3 of Flower: Plants are responding beautifully to the transition. Claude has calibrated the Agrotech system perfectly - nutrient uptake looks consistent across all 180 plants. First signs of stretch beginning!
Control Handoff Complete: Claude now has full autonomous control of Flower Room A. All systems green. The experiment has officially begun - let's see what AI can do with a commercial cannabis grow.
Preparation Day: Finished moving all 180 plants from veg to flower room. Sensor arrays calibrated, Agrotech system connected, camera feeds online. Tomorrow we flip to 12/12 and hand over control.
