BUSCHITUT
Plants & Tech Together


Buschitut was founded and is actively managed by Buschi Buschmann Berlin.

From the very beginning, the focus has been clear: reducing costs, simplifying processes, enhancing safety, and at the same time consistently improving production quality.

In modern plant cultivation, it is now possible to achieve high-yield results sustainably. To make this a reality, the use of state-of-the-art measurement and analysis technology—combined with intelligent control and regulation systems—has become absolutely essential.

While the size and shape of the systems may vary widely and are generally of secondary importance, the components and parts used often differ significantly.

That’s why experience and research are key: they form the optimal foundation for ensuring that all elements work together efficiently.

Executive Summary

Buschitut is a visionary Open Institute for applied plant technology. It combines over 30 years of practice-oriented grow know-how with scientifically founded biotechnology, software architecture, and global community expertise.
Based on the premise that cannabis, as a model plant, can assume the same role as the lab mouse in human medicine, a system is being designed that is fully scalable to other plant species—from tomatoes and salads to medically or aromatically relevant plants.


The platform utilizes open-source software, blockchain-based token economy, Matrix communication, 3D simulations, and real-world sensors to capture plant conditions. The goal is to build a global, decentralized data pool for smart plant management, collaborative learning, and the optimization of ecological agricultural systems.


"Grow-2-Gether" is the beginning of a collaborative, global effort to increase harvest yields and quality while continuously minimizing effort and costs.

Part I – The Buschitut Institute

Buschitut is an interdisciplinary, non-commercial research institute that combines plant development, technology, software, and community work into a systemic toolbox. It was founded by Buschi Buschmann (30 years of grow system development) and Dr. Steffen Herrmann (certified biologist, environmental/quality manager), both with deeply rooted practical and academic experience.


Goal: To create tools, data structures, and training platforms with which not only cannabis but a multitude of plants can be optimized, observed, cultivated, and trained—openly, transparently, and replicably.


Extreme savings in drinking water & nutrient solution, along with 95% less soil pollution, compared to traditional agriculture.

Our Project: A lighthouse project for the region and the planet.


The Buschitut aims to establish an integrated center for advanced agricultural technology, plant research, technological development, and education. Our focus is on sustainable and innovative cultivation methods, particularly in the areas of hydroponics and vertical farming, combined with cutting-edge technology for plant monitoring, automation, and data analysis, with a start for a global "G2G" Grow-2-Gether. With the Buschitut, we want to contribute to the future of agriculture while providing a platform for research, innovation, and knowledge transfer.

We are redefining plant cultivation—from the hottest chilies to sun-ripened tomatoes, from aromatic basil to high-yield cucumbers.


"Grow-2-Gether" is not just a platform, but a movement that bundles the knowledge and experience of gardeners worldwide and makes it accessible to everyone.


The Vision: Perfect cultivation through collective intelligence.


Imagine:
The Pioneer Gardener (e.g., Peter):
Peter decides to grow a demanding chili variety—for example, a 'Carolina Reaper'—in a hydroponic system in his greenhouse. He uses our "Grow-2-Gether" hardware:
Sensors continuously record: EC value, pH value of the nutrient solution, water temperature, nutrient composition, and oxygen content in the water.
Actuators precisely control: irrigation cycles and volumes, lighting times and intensity (selection between sunlight, artificial light, or mixed light via app).
A permanently installed camera takes a high-resolution photo of his plants daily.
All this data, including the photo, is uploaded daily to the "Grow-2-Gether" cloud and forms Peter's
"Carolina Reaper Hydro Indoor Master Template."


The Ambitious Follower (e.g., Susi):
Susi also wants to grow 'Carolina Reapers' but may have different lighting conditions or wants to work outdoors with additional pot irrigation.
She downloads Peter's "Carolina Reaper Hydro Indoor Master Template" as a starting point.
The Highlight: Every day, when Susi's camera takes a photo of her plants, the corresponding daily photo from Peter is displayed as a transparent "ghost" (Ghost Image) in the background of her own picture. Just like in a racing game, she can directly compare: "Are my plants developing as well as Peter's at the same point in time? Is my leaf green comparable? What about the growth height?"
Susi might only have sunlight. She sets this in the app. Or she adjusts the fertilizer amount because her tap water has different base values. Every deliberate deviation from Peter's template that Susi makes (whether in lighting, fertilization, or irrigation) is saved in the upload as a "variant": e.g., "Carolina Reaper Hydro Indoor Master Template (Peter) – Variant Susi Day 15 – Sunlight Optimized."


The Tomato Enthusiast (e.g., Ahmed):
Ahmed wants to grow the perfect 'San Marzano' tomato for his sauces. He might start with a basic template for tomatoes or, if available, with an already optimized 'San Marzano' template from another user. He documents his cultivation in a raised bed with automatic drip irrigation, measuring soil moisture, pH value in the soil, and nutrient additions. His photos and data also flow into the cloud. If he changes the fertilizer brand, a new variant is created.


The Herb Fairy (e.g., Lena):
Lena wants to optimize her 'Genovese' basil on the balcony. She uses a smaller version of the system, focusing on light hours, water quantity, and perhaps a simple EC test of the drainage water. Her experiences and visual comparisons also help to refine specific templates for herbs in an urban environment.
________________________________________
The Power of Data: From Collective Knowledge to Auto-Optimization
With every plant, every gardener, and every variant, our data treasure grows:
Detailed Analysis: We can evaluate which light combination yields the best results for which chili variety in which growth phase. Which EC curve optimizes fruit formation in tomatoes. Which fertilization plan is most efficient for basil in a pot.


Resource Management: Energy consumption for lighting, water usage, fertilizer costs—all become transparent and comparable.


Predictability: Based on thousands of successful (and less successful) grows, we can create yield forecasts.
Auto-generated Optimal Templates: The ultimate goal! With enough data, "Grow-2-Gether" can create an automatically generated, optimal master template for a specific variety (e.g., 'Habanero Orange') and cultivation method (e.g., 'Indoor soil with LED'). This template represents the scientifically founded, community-tested "Golden Path" from seed to harvest. It considers typical problems and proactively suggests adjustments.
To measure is to understand. To control is to act.


The BUSCHITUT "Grow-2-Gether" is more than just technology. It's a philosophy:
Democratization of expert knowledge: Everyone can learn from the best and become an expert themselves.
Continuous improvement: Every variant is a learning step for the entire community.
Sustainability: We protect the environment through optimized resource use.
Sharing passion: Gardening together, learning from each other, and celebrating successes.

Doesn't that sound like the future of cultivation—whether chili, tomato, herbs, or 420...
The BUSCHITUT "Grow-2-Gether" makes it possible!


The institute combines research, education, and food production. Using state-of-the-art technologies such as vertical farming, hydroponics, and aeroponics, we will produce high-quality plant products year-round in closed-loop systems, conserving resources. The project is intended to function as an innovation center for agricultural technology, create high-quality jobs globally, and strengthen regional value creation.


Hydroponic and aeroponic cultivation systems are completely independent of soil quality. Cultivation takes place in closed, controlled modules without direct contact with the ground. This means that our institute can also be realized on sites where remediation for traditional agricultural or sensitive construction use would be uneconomical or very time-consuming. We see a unique opportunity here to revitalize such an area in a meaningful and future-oriented way.


Hybrid of Innovation Hub and Applied Research
The basic concept of our institute goes far beyond a mere production and research facility. We are pursuing an innovative hybrid model that combines two successful worlds:


•       An open innovation hub (Makerspace): Inspired by the collaborative and interdisciplinary spirit of projects like Berlin's c-base e.V., founded 30 years ago, and driven by a widespread pioneering spirit, the Buschitut is now creating a place where experts, researchers, founders, and students work together within a community on new solutions, develop prototypes, and exchange knowledge. On the other hand, the integration of structured research, teaching, and transfer approaches from leading American research universities with their affiliated production and experimental facilities. A consolidated administration for global applications and funding pots makes it easier to continuously process and secure the necessary sections of all project parts. This seamlessly integrates research, development, and real production. Thus, scientific findings can be directly transferred into practice and tested at scale.


•       Our goal is to create a dynamic environment that accelerates technology transfer and closes the gap between creative idea, scientific foundation, and market-ready product.
•       This combination allows us to not only conduct basic research and academic training but also to directly translate findings into scalable, practice-relevant applications.

The Buschitut will thus become a living ecosystem that:
•       Creates high-quality jobs in future-oriented fields,
•       Attracts and retains talent,
•       Acts as an innovation engine and stimulates the creation of spin-offs and start-ups in the fields of agricultural technology, biotechnology, and related high-tech sectors,
•       Offers new educational and training opportunities at the interface of science, technology, and practice,
•       and builds a bridge between research and industrial application.
•       We see the Buschitut as a place where science, technology, and entrepreneurship come together to develop sustainable solutions for global challenges in agriculture. A location in your region would enable us to realize this vision while making an important contribution to strengthening the economic and scientific location.
•       Paired with a Campus for Applied Science: Following the model of leading American research universities, research, development, and real production are seamlessly integrated. This allows scientific findings to be directly transferred into practice and tested at scale.


Our goal is to create a dynamic environment that accelerates technology transfer and closes the gap between creative idea, scientific foundation, and market-ready product.
We are convinced that with our institute, we can make a small contribution to the economic and technological development of the planet and its various regions.


Part II – Global Community & Knowledge Ecosystem


Buschitut thrives on a federated knowledge community that generates and shares data worldwide. Every field, greenhouse, grow box, plant room... - every sensor becomes part of the ecosystem.


Data captured: light, water, air, EC, temperature, stress, development—standardized, machine-readable, stored locally, analyzable globally. This creates training data for practical AI models. The goal is a long-term, growing, multicultural network of experience.


Looking to the future, a completely new generation of farm-bots will emerge from these experiences in conjunction with training measures for human-bots.



Part III – Roadmap & Financing.

2025:
- Community MVP.
- Server setup.
- Establishing first grid pilot nodes.

2026:
- Expansion of global support points – network structure.
- Partnerships with educational institutions.
- Open funding models for pilot projects.
- Launch of pilot plants.


2027+:
- Global expansion.
- Multicultural data modules.
- DAO-based funding structure.


Token Distribution (Total: 100%)

  • 42% – In-Contract Liquidity Pool
    Modern, transparent, and openly accessible.

  • 25% – Institute / Core Team (with Vesting & Lock)
    Allocated for personnel, research, infrastructure, and management.

  • 12% – DAO Treasury (for proposals & governance voting)
    Freely usable, but fully governed by the DAO.

  • 8% – Community Incentives / Education & Participation
    e.g., through hackathons, citizen science, content creation, active involvement.

  • 8% – Ecosystem & Partnerships
    For external projects, plant-based networks, and broader ecosystem cooperation.

  • 5% – Reserve / Safety Buffer
    For unforeseen market conditions or strategic adjustments.



    Financing via:
    Funding projects (EU/DE/Education), Open Token Launch, license partners & specialist club network.
    "A utility token creates ADDITIONAL opportunities, but also hurdles and risks.


Our world wants to research, build, control, automate its farms, and not speculate on a volatile crypto asset. But for a large, global, modern, and above all broad financing for this project, a small investor token fits very well along the way.
While we believe in creating value through a superior product, not through tokenomics, we will incorporate the power of the global token world.


Legally, this is purely a Buschitut-FAN-Token "BTUT", which will later also represent co-determination and voting shares in project selection decisions.




Part IV – Buschitut Garage

The Buschitut Garage is the creative playground for developers, designers, and creative community members. Here, for example, a virtual game world is being created with Unreal Engine 5, featuring Web3 integration, Discord coupling, and access via NFT game cards (AMOC).
The Garage is "clearly" separate from the Institute—it serves the playful, cultural, and creative exploration of plant knowledge in an immersive environment.

A few words about AMOC.
Researchers like to Collect & Play.
AMOC stands for "All Marihuana Online Cards" and is a creative NFT card system developed in the Buschitut Garage. Each card is a multifunctional, six-sided NFT with real content, rules, codes, and values.
The collectible cards are both a playful element in the emerging 3D system and an access key to modules, rewards, and community ranks in the networks.
Marketplaces like OpenSea, Enjin, Rarible, and our own Buschitut platforms will be synchronized with IPFS metadata, game cards, and token logic.
Each AMOCard is not just a digital asset—but a piece of a tool for co-creating the system. # Play, Collect & support the Garage project.




Part V – Community Structure & Partner Roles.

The Buschitut community is structured in multiple tiers:

- 🔰 Starter: Participants without experience who explore modules.
- 🧪 Grower: Active data collectors, testers, proto-developers.
- 🛠️ Crafters: Create modules, codes, content, whitepaper sections.
- 🌍 Ambassadors: Represent Buschitut regionally and thematically.
- 🧠 Scientists: Collect, analyze, and scientifically interpret data sets.
- 🧑🏫 Mentors: Train others, support as guides and developers.
- 🧑🏫X Sponsors: Form the basis for stability.

These roles are open and assigned dynamically.



Part VI – Governance & DAO Vector.

The project's governance is managed through a DAO-based system. Decisions about content, structure, priorities, and resources are largely made within the respective projects in coordination with the community—transparently, documented, and versionable.
A weighted token voting system and project-based license models ensure long-term stability without central dependency.



Part VII – Education & Citizen Science.

Buschitut also sees itself as an educational platform for new agricultural technologies, sensor technology, bioinformatics, and ecological system optimization.
Every box, every bot, every course provides data—and knowledge that is openly usable.
From the DIY grow box to the professional training module.
Goal: Every person should be allowed to learn how plants grow, react, suffer, live, and how farms are built, maintained, and handled.


  • Without major barriers, with fun, and with a sustainable global impact.
