Hydroponic vertical farm: Multifarm

Vertical farm technology uses the plants’ skill to grow naturally within a nutrient solution. Plants receive the necessary energy for photosynthesis from special LED lamps. Moreover, the climatic conditions inside homes and the isolation from external environment keep away weeds, pathogens and insects.

Ventilation: vegetable require a gentle breeze of air to grow well. For this reason we have equipped Multifarm with a fan and ventilation channels that ensure steady flow of air across all cultivation levels. Air circulation also creates the perfect balance of inner temperature.

Temperature: temperature plays an important role in growth of vegetables. Multifarm temperature control is achieved through the air conditioning of the room where it will be placed.

Light: Each veggie variety needs a specific light spectrum to stimulate its growth. Your Multifarm will be provided with two types of lamps: Type A is perfect for leafly green products. Type B has been selected for fruit vegetables . The automation system allows you to manage the lighting schedule based on the desidered photoperiod and the activation cycles of water pumps.

Anyone will be able to use Multifarm. You’ll find together with the farm manuals with instructions, tips and useful advice for its use. It will be possible to contact us by email, phone or chat for ny further information. Each column consists of two components:

A water and nutrient tank containing the circulation pump.10 cultivation tubs where you can place the cultivation baskets.

Baskets must be placed on the upper edge of cultivation tub. The quantity and position depend on the size of the product you want to grow. Covers will be provided to close the basket without seed so that light cannot get into the area where roots are developing.

Two types of basket are provided: short and long.

The short basket is for a single plant (head of salad , cabbage, basil, tomato etc. ). Place a substrate block (provided together with Microfarm) at the bottom of the basket and moisten it with a small amount of water. Sow the seed in the substate and ..... wait. After a month you can harvest and eat ! You can also place a fully grown plant. Be careful to remove all dirt , place in the substrate block and ....wait.

The long basket is for cut products (lettuce, arugula, radishes etc. ) . Follow the same steps used for short basket. Moisten the substrate, place the seeds in a row along the groove of the substrate and ....wait.

The farm will be controlled through an automation system that will be delivered to you ready to use . You will be able to view the settings and modify the timing of lights, activate the pumps and set the temperature.
