Discover your vertical farming recipe for growth

Innovative farming technologies mean that plants can now be grown in indoor environments without sunlight. This cultivation process, known as vertical farming or city farming, is ideal for propagating young plants, cultivating full crops and growing healthier, pesticide-free crops. It maximizes production by using ground-breaking vertical farming lighting to light multiple layers of crops, achieving a higher yield with a smaller footprint.

With our extensive lighting know-how and plant expertise, Hortibest LED horticulture offers vertical farmers advice to successfully grow crops with LEDs. We also share tips on the most reliable techniques and LED vertical farming lighting products for growing crops indoors.

Benefits of vertical farming with LED lighting

1.Predictable growth

Fresh produce all year round with no disease, climate or pesticide worries.

2.Higher quality

Specific growth recipes for enhanced flavor, nutritional value and shelf life.

3.Higher yield

A controlled environment with less waste and short production cycles year around.

Vertical farming applications

1.Plant factory

Large-scale production, ideal for cultivating in a customized, closed indoor vertical farming environment of more than 2000 m².

2.Climate chamber

Climate rooms are for small-scale production, such as propagating young plants or researching the effects of light on a crop.

3.Warehouse farm

At less than 1000 m², a warehouse farm can be placed in an existing building or warehouse for small-scale city farming production.

4.Container

For research purposes, standard, ready-to-use containers with 20 to 30 m² of growing surface are easy way to start and have a fast turnaround.
