"You can't grow quality lettuce in hot climates." I've heard that for years. I disagree. "Higher Tech" is not always "better tech." Choose wisely. #CEADoneRight! See what some of our amazing growers are doing around the globe: AmHydro.com American Hydroponics

#Arugula is becoming more popular by the day - both in the eyes of consumers, but also by #CEA growers who find high demand for this spicy cruciferous green. Arugula doesn't ship well, making this a great choice for growers who can get this product from harvest to plate fast

#CEA marketing tip of the day: Ask yourself, "what additional items can I provide to existing customers?" We always over-size our American Hydroponics propagation tables to allow growers to incorporate high-value #MicroGreens production into their regular crop rotation.

Is this a commercial #CEA greenhouse? Is is a high school classroom? (if you answered BOTH, then you would be correct!) #CEADoneRight by our friends at HCOE in Eureka, CA. American Hydroponics

#CEA helps you maximize the anthocyanin pigments in your leafy greens. Consumers love the aesthetic quality as well as their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Under high light temps, it's important to keep light levels at maximum and VPD range tight. American Hydroponics
