Cultivation Systems
Low Tech automation. High Productivity.
The most cost-effective and hassle free automated vertical growing system that is created for urban farmers, by urban farmers.
The InstaGreen cultivation system:
Grow with a low-tech, scalable design.
At InstaGreen we have spent years hacking indoor farming, testing and building efficient growing methods for the typical smaller scale local farms. Instead of going high-tech and focussing on ‘fancy-looking-apps’ that in reality you don’t use, we built a low-tech system. But, with the most efficient LEDs for microgreens and atomated irrigation to easily grow amazing greens.
A system that can meet the biggest challenge in urban agriculture: how to grow cost-effictively in relatively small indoor spaces. It’s a no-fuss, easy-to-use and highly productive system that is developed and used at our own InstaGreen.eu urban farm in Barcelona before we started exporting it globally. Designed for adjustability, scalability and cost-effective growth.

No-fuss: Low-tech, because that just works perfect.
No, we didn’t ‘build an app for that‘. Plants grow perfectly without an app. ;-)
What we díd build, is a vertical cultivation system that uses our low-tech ‘smart-watering-trays’, watering slides and natural phenomena, such as capilarity and gravity, to get water, oxygen and nutrients to the growing greens.
(Read more on why we believe in low-tech solutions).
The only ‘tech’ you need
Our systems only use high-tech components where needed. Such as the high quality LED’s to get the perfect amount of light to the growing microgreens. And pumps that automatically water your plants every day on schedule, so you can do more important stuff (Such as building your business, contacting new clients or enjoy some well deserved time off).
Adjustable to your needs.
You can grow in different formats. You can cultivate living microrgeens, for instance in our biodegradable cups and organic substrate, or you can grow entire trays full of microgreens that you freshly harvest, right before delivering them to your clients.
This modular system is easily adjustable. This allows you to adapt it to your needs, for instance to grow larger plants inside pvc channels, or maybe you also want to start growing editable flowers? With just a couple of add-ons you are good to go!
Easy scale up
Everything in this system, from the smart-watering-trays, our quarter trays and small grow cups, the combination of the cultivation system and the germination rack, they all fit perfectly together. This allows you to scale up fast and easy. Whether you use one cultivation system or one hundred, the same design works.
Cost effective
The basic 6 layer growing system using 12 smart-watering-trays has the capacity to produce 480 of our grow cups per week with fast growing microgreens (12 trays x 40 cups). Sell those for €3-€3,50, like we do, and you can produce € 1.440 worth of microgreens. Every week. Producing € 6.240 per month. Not bad for a system that only costs you € 2.779.
Want to do some more calculations for your own?
Our smart-watering-trays measure 110 x 55 x 5 cm (43.3” x 21.6” x 19.7”)
That’s 7,26 m2 grow-surface in 1 system of 12 layers, 9,68 m2 in a system of 16 layers.
That’s space for 48 of our 1020 trays in the standard density system of 6 levels. And 64 of those in the high density system of 8 levels.
Proud to work with enthusiasts around the world!
“Both the cultivation and germination systems we have purchased from Instagreen are very high quality, easy to assemble (thanks to great instructions) and the best thing about them is that they produce amazing microgreens! A huge thanks to the team at Instagreen for making my dream of having an urban farm growing microgreens a reality!”
“When building the InstaGreen system, we were amazed by the pragmatic simplicity of it. Take the irrigation system for instance, its just genius.”
“It is a great cultivation system that optimizes space and resources, making your farm a profitable and sustainable business.”
“What a time saver!!!!!!!! Love the Instagreen growing system, easy to construct and even easier to use, I was manually watering before but now it’s all automatic so I can spend more time on other areas of the business. A vertical system also means I can grow about 1000% more microgreens than my previous set up, in the same space!! Well worth the money!”
