CannaTinker · an AI grow companion + a research library

Growing in a 1×1 m tent — measured, not guessed.

A technical consultation from tent assembly to curing. CannaTinker is an AI grow companion: it combines small-grow practice from its 7-stage guide with a library of research papers and a crew of AI models: Google checks live prices, Claude lays out a week-by-week plan, and CannaTinker talks you through it — numbers over opinions.

One answer, three specialists

Every message goes through the crew. The models don’t replace each other — each does what it is best at, and CannaTinker puts it together. Every answer shows who worked on it.

Googlestep 1
Price and page scout

Gemini Flash with Google Search checks current prices and reads product pages — including those that block ordinary scrapers.

Claudestep 2
Grow plan

Claude Opus lays out a week-by-week plan for your tent, light and strain — with VPD, PPFD, EC and pH targets for every stage.

GPTstep 3
Conversation

The voice model speaks as CannaTinker: it gathers the crew’s findings, small-grow practice and the research, and answers precisely — with numbers, prices and sources.

Alongside the crew runs a 12-shop scanner — prices, stock and specs scored against 1×1 tent criteria. A missing key never stops the conversation: a stand-in or CannaTinker’s built-in rules take over that role.
Practice and research — with perspective

The 7-stage grow guide is small-grow practice. Next to it CannaTinker keeps a library of 154 research papers on light, climate, nutrition, disease and cannabis, with evidence cards checked against the full texts. When practice and research part ways, you get both views, why they differ (scale, cultivar, what was measured) and moderate advice for a small grow.
