growing operations we can only expect the footprint to get larger.

 

We at Forever Flowering Greenhouses, FFG, have been committed to the reduction of the carbon footprint in the hydroponic/indoor/outdoor gardening industry for the last five years and longer as responsible growers and consumers. We have the most efficient method and products for cultivation available today. Through a process called LIGHT DEPRIVATION we are allowing our customers to grow high quality, high quantity, clean, and safe products in greenhouses year round. We estimate that electric savings are over 60% compared to indoor grows and outdoor yields are more than doubled. Instead of turning lights on and off we control the hours of sunlight coming in with blackout fabric materials. This allows for year round flowering with outdoor quantities and indoor quality. To further decrease our footprint we have the ability to capture and store rainwater for watering the crop throughout the year. Supplemental lighting systems are controlled by light sensitive monitors to only turn on lights when desired light levels are not reached. When the light is sufficient they turn back off. We have documented proof that our greenhouses reduce the amount of water needed because the soil temperatures remain at a healthier level. Pest sprays are also greatly reduced due to the health of the plants and the ability to control the pest’s access to the plants. We are currently working with organizations in major cities to develop roof top greenhouses. This will allow for an even further decrease in the grower’s footprint as the obvious ‘dead space’ of the roof top is now turned into an ideal ‘full sun’ growing opportunity.

 

We hope that through our efforts of educating and supplying the public and cities with the appropriate technology and methodologies of low impact cultivation the current trend of rising supply and demand can be achieved without taxing our natural environment beyond reason. We hope that these working models can be studied and replicated by individuals and cities around the country as they begin to develop their own policies surrounding this industry.

 

We at FFG are committed to working for the awareness and compassion not only for the growers and end users but for the land and the waters from which there products are grown. We hope that everyone can take a moment to reflect on the impact you’re your room/garage/warehouse/ and greenhouses are making and take the initiative to reduce your carbon footprint. You can find a full offering of our products at WWW.FOREVERFLOWERING.NET or call us at 1-888-78GHOUSE to ask how you too can do your part to reduce your impact on the world around you while still improving and enjoying the quality of life you desire. We all are the ones setting the example in this very momentous time in history. Each one of us can help make a difference and allow this industry to be looked upon for answers and guidance. Be part of the solution not the pollution!!
