Vertical Farming

Vertical farming involves growing plants in a fully enclosed environment with 100% artificial lighting with tiered shelves of plants. The absence of sunlight makes light quality and efficiency arguably the most critical element of vertical farms. Small, discreet grow areas with a premium on space make a thin, wide form factor like those of the TotalGrow Stratum and Mult-HI ideal fits for maximized uniformity in minimal space. Strategice wiring and mounting approaches are very helpful for a clean, simple facility due to the high concentration of lights.
A default setup is 1 TotalGrow Stratum 40W light bar covering 1'x4' of grow area, approximately 6" above the plant canopy for PPFDs of 200+ µmol/m2/s. Larger plants and more optimized growth goals elevate this concentration or enable the use of TotalGrow Mult-HI light fixtures for even more cost effective light production.

Black Pearl Gardens:
Microgreens, herbs & edible flowers, 12"x15" bulb spacing
TotalGrow™ Broad Grow Spectrum Light bulbs, or the 'magic bulbs' as I call them, have allowed me to grow extremely high quality herbs and microgreens in my basement without any sunlight at all. I have experienced a faster grow cycle with these bulbs and have none of the problems that I had with the fluorescent bulbs I used in the past. These lights have allowed me to expand my business beyond my original customers and support some larger demand customers.

Elyse Cisler:
Microgreens, 10x22" bulb spacing
Finally, an indoor garden! This past year I set up an indoor garden in my basement using TotalGrow light bulbs. I grew different microgreens and wheatgrass. Not only did I enjoy seeing the growth process, but I loved using the greens in my daily recipes. We used them in our smoothies, salads, on sandwiches and fish, and even in eggs. Delicious and healthy!
