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:
Site Assessment:
Evaluating the location for factors such as space, light availability, and access to water and electricity.
Design Planning:
Creating a layout for the hydroponic system that optimizes space and ensures efficient workflow.
Equipment Delivery:
Delivery of the necessary components, including systems, lighting, pumps, and monitoring equipment.
System Setup:
Assembling the hydroponic system according to the design, including installing the water reservoir, pumps, and growing structures.
Testing:
Running tests to ensure the system operates correctly, checking for leaks and verifying that all components function properly.
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.
