Planning hydroponic farm construction in Saiha? Saiha is a small town in Saiha district, Mizoram, home to about 25,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 470 km from Kolkata. Below we use the town's monthly temperatures, humidity and rainfall to work out which structure fits, which crops to grow and in which months, before you spend on construction.
Climate for hydroponic farm construction in Saiha
April is the hottest month in Saiha, with average daily highs of about 31°C.

Which greenhouse suits Saiha?
For hydroponic farm construction in Saiha, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. With average highs between 23°C and 31°C through the year, Saiha suits a naturally ventilated polyhouse for most crops. Fan & Pad cooling is rarely needed; spend the budget on good ventilation, insect net and a shade screen. Plan for heavy rain in July (about 372 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank.
A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in March to April and November, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Hydroponic crops for Saiha
Based on Saiha's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are mint (all year), coriander (11 months) and tomato (10 months). Mint fits all year in a naturally ventilated polyhouse. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Saiha.
