Claim 0:
1. A method of growing seaweed, the method comprising:
forming a substrate loop inoculated with seaweed spores;
arranging the substrate loop about a pulley;
submerging the substrate loop to grow the seaweed;
determining, using a seaweed farm controller, that the seaweed has grown to a pre-determined size; and
based on the determination that the seaweed has grown to a pre-determined size:
providing, using the seaweed farm controller, instructions to the pulley to feed a section of the substrate loop to a harvesting unit;
providing, using the seaweed farm controller, instructions to the harvesting unit to separate the seaweed attached to the section of the substrate loop;
providing, using the seaweed farm controller, instructions to a cleaning unit to clean the section of the substrate loop that is freed from seaweed; and
providing, using the seaweed farm controller, instructions to a seeding unit to inoculate the cleaned section of substrate loop with seaweed spores.
