10 companies feeding the urban farming boom | Soilless Cultivation Equipment

It’s the most realistic-looking artificial indoor plant on our list; besides, for those who’ve experienced the unstoppable growing habit of real rubber plants, its permanently compact look will be a bonus. 

Inexpensive options include disposable perforated plastic bags or cloth bags, while some choose to spend more on “smart pots,” containers that are designed to enhance airflow to the plant’s root zone. Many people grow their first cannabis plants in five gallon buckets. Drainage is key, though, as cannabis plants are very sensitive to water-logged conditions, so if you repurpose other containers, be sure to drill holes in the bottoms and set them in trays.

With cheaper, more powerful technology, opportunities are opening up to improve crops around the world. Dr. Hickey’s team plans to train plant breeders in India, Zimbabwe and Mali over the next couple years through a collaboration with the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics and grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

For example, Cornell university’s agritech center likes BiFarm’s AeroKit, and we are working on presenting them a solution similar to ‘co-location’ project. That will enable them to test out generic change testing.

AeroFarms is a massive vertical farm in Newark, N.J., that utilizes aeroponics for leafy greens production. It is a jaw-dropping sight, with 20 rows of 35-foot racks, each with 13 layers of aeroponic tables—all lit with LED bars. Many people are also familiar with aeroponics if they have visited Disney World’s “The Land” exhibit. Aeroponics has also been an important research tool for decades. Plant physiologists especially like that the root structure better represents how roots grow in nature.

Most people won’t think twice about the water they use on their plants; if you can drink it, it must be fine, right? Well, it may not be an issue, depending on your location, but some water contains a high amount of dissolved minerals that can build up in the root zone and affect nutrient uptake, or it may contain fungus or other pathogens that aren’t harmful to people but can lead to root disease.

First, you’ll need to determine: What is your medium? Will you be doing hydroponics or aeroponics? How dense is your canopy? How large are your flower rooms? Do you plan to have dedicated rooms for each cultivar or multiple varieties growing side-by-side? When all is said and done, which method will be most ecological and efficient in upfront cost and maintenance cost? Which method is most suitable to help you scale? Should you invest in drip irrigation and emitters, or an ebb-and-flow system, as some tomato growers do? Should you utilize overhead boom sprayers for seedling trays in a greenhouse?

The beginning. We made the first lamp. We had confirmation from the university that it was working. We approached our first client with it, and she said: “I don’t believe in university. Which colleague of mine uses your product?” We told her that it’s not on the market yet. “Oh, yeah. Well, come by if anyone I know uses it.” It’s the same with the other clients. And so, we bounded from door to door and everyone asked us the same thing: “Which friend of mine uses it?” Nobody wanted to be the first to buy it. It took us about six months, I guess. Finally, we showed up at the expo and we managed to win our first client; only then did we start making sales.
