Problem Statement

Microgreen quality and yield are highly sensitive to light, nutrient and water conditions, but manual nutrient and irrigation management does not scale from household trays to commercial racks.

Challenges

Balancing light, nutrient and moisture across modular grow units
Detecting nutrient deficiencies before they affect crop quality
Keeping energy use low while scaling from household to commercial setups

Solution

Modular grow units monitor temperature, humidity, water pH, EC and grow-medium moisture, while LED light control and irrigation automation maintain ideal growing conditions. AI crop analysis flags nutrient deficiencies early via the cloud dashboard.
