California Greenhouse
The greenhouse: external overview
The greenhouse is divided into three functional areas, each with adjustable lighting thanks to Hemera Pro software and 4-channel Usil 300 lamps, manufactured in Italy by Hangar Lab. Each section uses a customized light spectrum based on the needs of the crops present.
Area NFT
In this area, the NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) is used to grow primarily baby leaf crops. The seedlings are placed in channels where nutrient solutions flow continuously, with a water recirculation system.
Solanacee Area
Designed for growing tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and similar vegetables, this area uses a highly water-efficient hydroponic system. The lights can be configured for each row, allowing for precise control of the spectrum for each crop.
Experimental Area
Here, strawberries and berries are grown on hydroponic channels, alongside germination tables and mixed crops. The lighting is more intense and varied, with different white spectrums to support the different growth stages.
