Farm Installation

The Ponix team will need a 2-6 hour block for installation and training. You can prepare for your CFS Farm Installation by cleaning the farm site, establishing a strong wifi connection, ensuring exclusive access to a 30 AMP circuit, and setting up water access.

The installation itinerary includes:

  • Setting up 1-4 hydroponic grow racks

  • Connecting sensors. This requires wifi connection and modem access.

  • Ensuring exclusive access to a 30-amp electrical circuit

  • Filling one water reservoir

  • Conducting training on seedlings, the operating system, and the Farm Manual.

  • Concluding with a Q&A.

Installation Process:

  1. Site Assessment:

    • Evaluating the location for factors such as space, light availability, and access to water and electricity.

  2. Design Planning:

    • Creating a layout for the hydroponic system that optimizes space and ensures efficient workflow.

  3. Equipment Delivery:

    • Delivery of the necessary components, including systems, lighting, pumps, and monitoring equipment.

  4. System Setup:

    • Assembling the hydroponic system according to the design, including installing the water reservoir, pumps, and growing structures.

  5. Testing:

    • Running tests to ensure the system operates correctly, checking for leaks and verifying that all components function properly.

  6. Planting:

    • Once the system is fully operational, seedlings are introduced into the system, typically 2 weeks after initial installation.

Benefits of Installing a Ponix Farm:

  • Space Efficiency: Vertical farming is designed to be compact to allow for high-density planting.

  • Water Conservation: Hydroponic systems typically use less water than traditional farming methods.

  • Faster Growth Rates: Plants often grow faster due to optimized nutrient delivery and environmental conditions.

  • Reduced Pest and Disease Risk: Controlled environments can lead to fewer pests and diseases, minimizing the need for pesticides.
