This What Happened When I Tried Hydroponics Inside A Container.

Read this blog which I have gone through.

A shipping Container Farm is an ideal option to implement Smart Controlled Environment Agriculture Techniques. The microclimate management inside the container is done automatically through sensors and controllers to provide a customized optimum growing environment for a variety of plants. Thus, shipping container farms provide a suitable growing environment for plants throughout the year.

Farming is one of the diverse opportunities associated with shipping containers. Refurbished shipping containers are available at low prices and they are suitable to start a hyper-local agricultural farm which can provide healthy, nutritious fresh food in areas unsuitable for growing food. These shipping containers thus help in the reduction of the carbon footprint associated with the transportation of food to areas where traditional agricultural practices are unsuitable.

The multi-modality nature of the shipping containers makes them suitable for transportation through different modes of transport. This feature makes the container farms to be easily transportable and stackable. The uniformity of their size facilitates easy installation of pre-fabricated vertical hydroponic systems which are easily accessible from the central walking path inside the container. Container farming incorporating a fully automated process is less labor-intensive than traditional farming and all other indoor farming techniques thereby allowing the grower to focus on business side of operations and other entrepreneurial activities.

1. you could also use a bowl anything that you can use to prop up the lettuce and make sure you only fill enough water to cover just a half-inch or an inch of the bottom of the lettuce.

You don’t want it fully submerged in the water just enough so the ends can you know soak up the water and you can start growing some roots.

2. Believe it or not, that’s it just leave it by a windowsill and let the light and water do its thing.

3. The next day you’ll notice your water is a little yellow so just pour it out and fill it with some fresh water. You’ll do this probably every day or two whenever you notice the water is looking a bit dirty just keep it nice and fresh.

4. Something I personally did was rinse the actual lettuce itself I noticed they do this at grocery stores to keep it fresh and crisp. So I figured it wouldn’t hurt and you will start to notice the lettuce get a little bit dry and brown over the next few days and that’s totally normal the regrowth happens from the center of the lettuce.

So you’re all good.

5. You’re gonna want to keep it growing in the water for a couple of weeks until you notice some roots coming out the bottom of your romaine lettuce and then you can transfer it into some soil. I was in the process of moving so I decided to just make myself a salad and enjoy what I had grown it was very tender and sweet where the leaves are green and a bit more bitter down where it was white.

When and how to plant in soil

You can keep your lettuce growing in water for about two weeks that’s the time it takes for it to grow roots. So that you can plant it into some soil so we can get all the nutrients it needs to become a full head of lettuce. You’re gonna want to fill your pot with some soil and then just stick your lettuces upright and then completely cover the old bottom part that you had cut off of your previous head of lettuce so that only the leaves are now exposed from the soil. And you don’t want to pack it down tight you want to keep it somewhat loose so that leaves can comfortably come through without much struggle, Plus as you water it will start to naturally pack down the soil. So definitely don’t push down with your hands. You then need to place your pot in direct sunlight. It’s not quite warm enough where I live just yet to have them outside so I place them by a bright window and I water them about every other day just a little bit of water to get the soil moist not soaking wet and not too dry. In just a couple days in the soil, I noticed a big difference with my lettuce plants they were a bigger, fuller, greener, stronger. You can tell that they get a lot more nutrients in the soil.

If you don not have sufficient place in your home, you can choose to go for container farming, which lets you grow lettuce, spanich and other leafygreens in an organic way.

Controlled Environment Agriculture - Cenaura

Controlled Environment Agriculture Hydroponic System is a system of growing crops without soil, often called soilless farming. It is one among the top 5

Indoor farming involves growing of crops or plants on large scale entirely indoors mostly utilizing various controlled environment farming methods. However, not all indoor farms are built on such a large scale. Some indoor farms can be created in an area as small as a basement and used by a single gardener to provide fresh produce for their home. Efficient control of parameters in an indoor farm ensures more productivity and profitability. Indoor growing also represents benefits to consumers by increasing food accessibility. When space needs are slashed and outdoor environment (or climate) is no longer enforcing limits, farms can be located anywhere.

What Is Plant Factory And It’s Benefis?

The plant factory farm provides an optimum growing environment for plants to flourish in a controlled environment. We design, construct, and equip the Plant factory as per clients' needs, considering the topography and agronomy requirements. We provide the Plant Factories with an intelligent plant aura management system for lighting, irrigation, temperature, humidity, pH, nutrient, and carbon dioxide.

Plant factories are ideal for carrying out vertical farming as the environment parameters are controlled to suit the farming requirements. Vertical farming is a environmentally favorable solution to increase productivity per area. These multiple stacked layers of planting can be configured to suit the scale of the plant factory. Vertical farming in a plant factory being an emerging industry needs to be cohesively integrated with the urban regulations and management.

Vertical farming is cost intensive technique; hence, the selling price of the produce needs to be high in order to be cost effective. This added value can be generated by ensuring the product is of desired high quality and marketed to select customers by using a good business model. Most of the companies venturing into plant factory landscape are positioning themselves as technology providers rather than growers. Awareness of the potential benefits of the plants grown in a plant factory have to highlighted for wide spread adoption of this innovative farming technique.

The goal achievement of productivity, profitability, and sustainability of vertical farms in a plant factory requires coordination of several factors such as adoption of innovative technology, agile business practices, and management. As more and more varieties of plants are genetically modified and developed to suit the plant factory environment, these plant factories can justify their key role in development of holistic urban agriculture.
