Carbon Dioxide Enrichment
The process of supplementing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in an indoor growing environment promotes plant growth and increases yields.
Artificial Lighting
The use of artificial light sources, such as LED or fluorescent lights, provides the necessary light spectrum and intensity for plant growth in indoor farming.
Aeroponics
A hydroponic system where plant roots are suspended in air and misted with nutrient-rich water.
Hydroponics
