An image capture system (300) for a grow pod (200) includes a master controller (206) that has a processor (132), a memory (134), and cameras (310) that are communicatively coupled to the master controller (206) and positioned to capture images of plants or seeds. The memory (134) stores a grow recipe and a logic. The grow recipe defines instructions for growing the plants or seeds and expected attributes corresponding to the instructions. The logic, when executed by the processor (132), causes the master controller (206) to perform at least the following: receive, from the cameras (310), the images of the plants or seeds, determine attributes of the plants or seeds from the images, compare the attributes of the plants or seeds from the images to the expected attributes defined by the grow recipe, and adjust the instructions of the grow recipe for growing the plants or seeds based on the comparison of the attributes to the expected attributes.
