The Challenges with Traditional Commercial CEA Farms

Economic Model

Energy and labor dominate the P&L. Lights, climate control, pumps, and constant planting, replanting, and cleaning make many farms too expensive to run at smaller scales.

One Dimensional Grow Systems

Commercial farms typically pick a single method (aeroponics, NFT, or DWC). Each works well for certain plants or growth stages, but not all, forcing compromises on yield, quality, or crop variety.

Limited Crop Flexibility

Traditional commercial systems are optimized for a narrow band of leafy greens, making it hard to adapt to local preferences or higher-value crops.

Complex Systems that are Hard to Maintain

When equipment is difficult to clean and service, it gets neglected, performance drops, disease flourishes, and systems are often abandoned.

Quadponics was designed from the ground up to address these challenges

A Smarter Way to Grow

Quadponics™ is a blended hydroponics platform engineered to deliver superior yield and quality at a lower total cost of ownership, while delivering the industries broadest crop variety with operational simplicity.

Deep Water Culture

Three Systems in One

More food. Better food. And a clearer path to economic sustainability — even at community and mid-scale deployments.

The Result

How It Works

1:Aeroponics

Aeroponic systems create a highly oxygenated environment around the roots, promoting rapid and healthy root development during the seedling stage. This robust root system establishes a strong foundation for subsequent growth stages.

2:Nutrient Film Technique

NFT systems provide a continuous flow of nutrient solution over the roots, ensuring consistent nutrient availability during the early growth stages. This promotes rapid vegetative growth, robust foliage development, and overall plant health.

Deep Water Culture (DWC) systems provide a large reservoir of nutrient solution, ensuring a stable and consistent supply of nutrients during the later growth stages. This stability is essential for supporting flowering, fruiting, or maturation, where plants have increased nutrient demands.

3:Deep Water Culture

Fruiting & Flowering Stage

At the heart of Quadponics is our patent-pending Quad tray & lid system—a modular platform that combines three hydroponic techniques plus per-plant microclimate control.

By seamlessly integrating Aeroponics, Nutrient Film Technique, and Deep-Water Culture, into a single grow system, each plant receives the ideal environment at every growth phase without ever moving plants — maximizing yield, flavor, and nutrient density.

Why It Works

• The plant never leaves the tray - it simply grows into each hydroponics zone as it grows

• Microclimate features in the lid manage airflow, moisture, and gas exchange around each plant site

• Automated fertigation and dosing system manages nutrients and pH using predefined recipes

• Remote control, monitoring, and alerts enables early issue detection and expert remote support.
