Herb Growing Side Ventiltaion Light Dep Automatic System Herb Greenhouse
Herb greenhouses are specialized structures that are designed to provide an optimal environment for growing herbs plants. Herb is a versatile crop that has a wide range of applications, from industrial use to medicinal and recreational use. It is also an environmentally-friendly crop that can be grown with minimal impact on the environment. A herbs greenhouse is designed to provide the ideal conditions for the growth of this plant, including temperature, humidity, and lighting.
Herb greenhouses can be designed in different sizes and shapes, depending on the grower's needs and available space. They are typically made of metal frames or wooden frames, with a covering material made of glass or polycarbonate panels. Some growers also use plastic films as a cheaper alternative to glass or polycarbonate. The frames are designed to support the covering material and to withstand strong winds and heavy snow loads. A herbs greenhouse may also have additional structures such as heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, as well as irrigation and lighting systems.
During the vegetative stage, herbs plants require long hours of light exposure (18-24 hours of light per day) to promote vegetative growth. However, during the flowering stage, herbs plants require 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness per day to induce flower production. If natural light is allowed to enter the greenhouse during the dark period, the plants may not produce as many flowers as desired, resulting in reduced yield. To prevent natural light from entering the greenhouse during the dark period, growers can install a blackout system. This system typically consists of a covering material, such as a heavy-duty fabric or plastic film, that can be rolled out over the greenhouse to completely block out all light. The covering material is typically opaque and light-tight, and is secured around the edges of the greenhouse to prevent any light leaks.
Feature |
Description |
---|---|
Temperature | Controlled by heating and cooling systems to maintain ideal temperature of 60-80°F (15-27°C) |
Humidity | Controlled by humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain ideal humidity levels of 50-70% |
Lighting | High-pressure sodium or LED lights are used and are set on timers to provide the optimal amount of light for the plants |
Ventilation | Provided by exhaust fans and vents to regulate airflow and prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases |
Growing Medium | Soil-based, hydroponic, or combination of both depending on grower preferences and plant needs |
Security | Surveillance cameras, alarms, fencing, and security guards are used to protect against theft and vandalism |
A blackout system is a type of shading system that is used to completely block out all light from a greenhouse. This system is typically used in commercial greenhouse operations to control the growth cycle of plants, particularly those that are sensitive to light, such as herbs and certain ornamental plants.
