Produce

Strawberries are a high-value crop that produces sweet, juicy fruits, making them an excellent choice for tower systems. These plants are usually sourced as bare-root plants from California and transplanted directly into the towers. For optimal production, root temperatures should be kept between 60–75°F. Each plant has a lifespan of about 5 years, with peak fruit production during the first 2–3 years. Over time, fruit size and yield decline. Growers can either keep the plants in the towers year-round or place them in a freezer during the winter and introduce new plants to maximize revenue and extend the growing season.
-
Lettuce is a fast-growing leafy green, ideal for tower systems due to its compact size and quick growth cycle. It is a popular choice for our aeroponic setups. Seeds are typically started in an indoor growing environment, with temperatures maintained between 60–70°F to promote rapid germination and growth. Once seedlings develop their first true leaves, they are transplanted into towers using netted cups filled with coco coir. Lettuce plant cycles in the towers typically take 1–1.5 months, making it a great option for continuous harvests.
-
Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green, valued for its versatility and rapid growth in tower systems. Seeds are started indoors in a controlled environment, where temperatures between 50–70°F encourage strong germination and seedling growth. Once the seedlings develop their first true leaves, they are transplanted into towers using netted cups filled with coco coir. Spinach grows quickly, with plant cycles in the towers typically completing in 1–1.5 months. Regular harvesting of mature leaves allows for a continuous supply throughout the growing season.
-
Kale is a hardy leafy green with a high nutritional value, making it a staple crop in tower systems. Known for its resilience and adaptability, kale thrives in a range of conditions and can tolerate cooler temperatures better than many other crops. Seeds are started indoors in a controlled environment with temperatures maintained between 55–75°F. After the seedlings develop their first true leaves, they are transplanted into towers using netted cups and coco coir as the growing medium. Kale is well-suited for continuous harvesting, where outer leaves are picked while the plant continues to grow.
