🔬
Efficient Aeroponic Cultivation (GS-AERO)
Delivers nutrient solution droplets of 20–60 μm directly to plant root hairs via precision nozzles. Enhanced by nanobubble oxygenation for optimal nutrient absorption and accelerated growth beyond conventional methods.
🌡️
Digital Climate & Aerodynamics
Precise regulation of temperature (15°C–30°C), humidity (45%–99%), and CO₂ (400–3,000 ppm). Aerodynamically optimised design ensures uniform airflow and gas diffusion across all growing layers simultaneously.
🛡️
Multi-Media Physical Sterilisation
Continuous photohydrogen sterilisation (density 10¹¹/m³) eliminates up to 95% of bacteria and viruses in both air and water. Air sterilisation rate: 50 cycles/hour. UV light sterilises the water reservoir independently.
💡
Programmable Light Formula
Five independently programmable spectra: White-Based, Ultraviolet, Blue-Based, Deep Red-Based, and Far Red-Based. Power distribution spans 385 nm (35.8 W), 450 nm (96 W), 400–700 nm (100.8 W), 660 nm (62 W), and 730 nm (33.6 W).
💧
Programmable Water & Nutrient
Four-channel fertiliser dosing system with real-time pH and EC monitoring and adjustment. Supports up to 16 programmable growth-stage nutrient configurations. Adjustable water temperature range: 10°C–23°C.
🤖
AI Cultivation Data Foundation
Integrates the Agriculture Processing Unit (APU) — GROWSPEC Bio's edge server — handling edge computing, data storage, climate algorithms, and sensor processing. API access allows connection to external agriculture AI models for data aggregation and training.

Product & Project Questions

Common questions about FarmCube Ultra.

Practical answers for model selection, installation, operation and project planning.

What makes the FarmCube Ultra different from other Growspec products?Detailed product information

The Ultra is a sealed, research-grade controlled environment agriculture (CEA) system with full climate control — including CO₂ regulation, active cooling/heating, humidity management, and multi-media sterilisation. Unlike the Nano or Neo, it is designed for biotech research, agronomic experimentation, and institutional education where reproducible environmental conditions are essential.

How does the programmable light system work?Detailed product information

The Ultra supports five independently configurable spectral programmes: White-Based, Ultraviolet, Blue-Based, Deep Red-Based, and Far Red-Based. Power across wavelengths can be distributed across five key bands (385 nm, 450 nm, 400–700 nm, 660 nm, 730 nm), enabling precise recipe-building for different crops and growth stages.

Can multiple researchers use a single unit?Detailed product information

Yes. The multi-user permission system allows administrators to create accounts with customised access levels — from full control to data-entry-only. A university deployment example: the equipment office holds the master account, professors manage their 20-unit allocations, and students have scoped access for monitoring and data entry.

What crops can the Ultra grow?Detailed product information

The Ultra supports 45+ plant varieties across five growing platform configurations: microgreens (arugula, radish, basil, kale, pea, cilantro), leafy greens (spinach, Lola Rosa, Bok Choy, Butterhead), herbs and parsley, tall plants (tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, saffron, anthurium), and six varieties of strawberry via the growing tub configuration.

What is the Agriculture Processing Unit (APU)?Detailed product information

The APU is GROWSPEC Bio's proprietary edge server integrated into the Ultra. It handles local computation for climate control algorithms, nutrient management, air diffusion modelling, and sensor data processing — processing 90% of data on-device. It provides API endpoints for cloud synchronisation and integration with external agriculture AI training pipelines.
