Organa Gardens International Inc. has a vertical hydroponics farming system built to make the most efficient use of light, energy, water, land, temperature and production cycle while growing the highest quality and healthiest plants in an optimum, consistent environment unaffected by weather. The Organa Garden Systems (OGS) provide a means for food production and consumption change to global environmental and ecological sustainability through vertical hydroponics rotary farming.
There are two OGS models; the Discovery (OGS-D) and the Enterprise (OGS-E)
Both the OGS-D and OGS-E are rotary hydroponics vertical farming systems designed with serviceability, ease-of-use and maximum harvest in mind. Both models are modular, allowing them to be expanded by stacking them. Its specially designed waterwheel technology allows the fully automated system to recycle and reuse 95% of the water used while requiring a negligible amount of energy to run.
The Discovery is a strong, low cost ABS plastic model for the home gardener and the Enterprise is a powder-coated steel version for the commercial grower. Both models are modular and can be expanded by stacking them. "The more you stack the more you grow"
Benefits
Both the OGS-D and OGS-E are rotary hydroponics vertical farming systems designed with serviceability, ease-of-use and maximum harvest in mind. Both models are modular, allowing them to be expanded by stacking them. Its specially designed waterwheel technology allows the fully automated system to recycle and reuse 95% of the water used while requiring a negligible amount of energy to run.
Benefits of the Organa Garden Systems:
- Fresh, nutritious and abundant produce all year-round
- Localized year-round farming possible, eliminating costly transportation,
spoilage and pollution.
- Reduces the use of pesticides and preservatives.
- Urban renewal and sustainable community building.
- Energy and water conservation.
- More frequent harvest.
- Fully automated and easy to operate.
- Business opportunity for the entrepreneurial businessman or established farmer.
Light Source & Plant Growth Relationship
Lumens are a measure of the light concentration striking a surface. As plants need light energy (lumens) to grow, the intensity of light energy available to the plant is directly linked with its health and size.
Based on a typical Lumen Light chart, the most advantageous plant growth to light source relationship is within a distance of two feet of the light source: As the distance between the light source and the plant increases the growth relationship decreases until there is no effective growth from the light source and the relationship is reduced to photo period only. This relationship simply keeps the plants alert.
Plant Growth & Geotropism
Geotropism relates to the effect of gravity on plant growth hormones called Auxins. The distribution of Auxins due to plant rotation from top to bottom increases plant growth rates and their strength by several times that of a static plant.
Yields
Lumen efficiencies and the unique use of Geotropism through design allows Organa Garden systems to realize significant plant growth increase.
Environmental Controls
Farming indoors allows for semi-sterile and even sterile production, meaning that a new standard of quality and safety of foods and medicines can be realized with a minimum of energy inputs.
Garden Systems
Discovery (OGS-D) Enterprise (OGS-E)
The Organa Garden Systems come in two models. The Discovery is a strong, low cost ABS plastic model for the home gardener and the Enterprise is a powder-coated steel version for the commercial grower. Both models are modular and can be expanded by stacking them. "The more you stack the more you grow"
The home and commercial units are nearly identical in their design, the one exception being their respective construction material.
Both models are full turn-key systems consisting of:
- Sump pump,
- Stackable stand,
- Collection tray,
- Waterwheel with planting slots and grow light.
The waterwheel collects water from the collection tray, which waters the roots as well as makes the waterwheel rotate. The excess water is then collected in the collection tray and returned to the wheel. If the units are stacked, the collection tray then diverts the water to the next tray below and the whole process is repeated. Over 95% of the water is recycled.
The first of Organa Gardens specially designed units is the Organa Garden System-Discovery (OGS-D) which provides for high density, high yield production for the home gardener. Engineered and designed for use in small farms or urban warehouses, the OGS-D provides a sustainable, continual source of agricultural products for the modern gardener.
The Organa Garden System-Enterprise (OGS-E) is a powder-coated steel, professional grade vertical farming hydroponics system designed for use in large-scale commercial farming and growing operations.
