Naturally ventilated polyhouses: life, build time, polyfilm and crops.
More detail: About Kryzen
A polyhouse is a steel-framed structure covered with UV-stabilised plastic film that protects crops from rain, pests and extreme weather, so you can grow high-value crops for more of the year.
An NVPH cools itself through roof and side vents instead of fans. It suits most of India’s climate and is the most common polyhouse for vegetables and flowers. Read about NVPH.
A polyhouse is covered with plastic film, so it keeps out rain and holds a more stable climate. A nethouse uses shade or insect net, costs less and suits crops that need shade and pest protection more than climate control. Read about nethouses.
The galvanised steel structure lasts many years; Kryzen gives a 15-year warranty on the GI structure. The plastic film wears with sunlight and is usually replaced every few years.
Most Kryzen projects are installed in 45 to 90 days from the time materials reach the site, depending on size and site conditions.
Kryzen naturally ventilated polyhouses are designed for wind speeds of 120 km/h and a load of 25 kg per square metre, with deep concrete foundations.
More detail: Naturally ventilated polyhouse (NVPH)
A 1-acre Kryzen NVPH structure with engineering and erection costs about ₹37–57 lakh before GST, or about ₹44–67 lakh with 18% GST. Add-ons like foggers, aluminet and fans cost extra. The final price depends on size and site.
Kryzen builds an NVPH in 45 to 90 days after material reaches your site, depending on farm size and how ready the site is.
The GI steel structure carries a 15-year warranty. The roof film is replaced every few years; it carries a 2.5-year warranty.
Coloured capsicum, cucumber, tomato, gerbera, rose, carnation and chrysanthemum grow well in an NVPH in most Indian climates.
An NVPH cools with natural air flow through roof vents and side curtains. A fan and pad polyhouse uses exhaust fans and wet cooling pads. Fan and pad gives tighter control but costs more to build and run.
Yes. Under NHM/MIDH, an NVPH gets 50% of the cost norm (₹1,000–1,200/m²) on up to 2,500 m² per farmer, so about ₹12.5 lakh at most. Projects above 2,500 m² can apply to NHB for a 50% credit-linked subsidy, up to ₹100 lakh. Kryzen is an NHB subsidy provider for all states and an NHM state subsidy provider in Maharashtra and Karnataka, and we prepare the DPR for your bank and subsidy file.
Yes. You can install cocopeat grow bags, NFT channels or Dutch buckets inside an NVPH.
For most crops across India, white diffused film is the usual choice: it spreads light evenly over capsicum, cucumber, gerbera and carnation. Clear film lets in the most light (90%) for hilly, low-light regions. Diffused yellow suits flowers including roses. Diffused blue is anti-drip and thermic, for tomato, bell pepper, strawberry, roses and leafy crops.
Diffused yellow (Suncover 205N) suits all crops including roses, except bicolour roses. Diffused blue is also recommended for roses. White diffused and clear films are not recommended for roses.
All four film types are 200 micron, 5-layer and UV-stabilised, with a UV life of about 3 years. Actual life depends on sunlight, sprays and site conditions.
Usually 10% advance with the order, and the balance before material is dispatched. The exact schedule is in your quotation.
Cooled polyhouses for hot regions and sensitive crops.
More detail: Fan and pad polyhouse
A fan and pad polyhouse uses exhaust fans and wet cooling pads to bring the inside temperature down, for crops that need a cooler, controlled climate. Read about fan and pad.
It is cooler than the outside air, and the drop is largest in hot, dry weather. In humid weather the pads cool the air less. Our team estimates the cooling for your location before you build.
Roses, gerbera, carnation, orchids, anthurium, lilium and some exotic vegetables grow best with precise climate control, especially in hot regions.
It costs more to run than an NVPH, because the fans and pad pumps use electricity through the hot hours every day. Plan for a reliable 3-phase power supply and a backup generator.
If your crop needs a narrow temperature range or your summers are very hot and dry, choose fan and pad. For capsicum, cucumber and tomato in moderate climates, a naturally ventilated polyhouse is usually enough and costs less to build and run.
Yes. Under NHM/MIDH, a fan and pad polyhouse gets 50% of the cost norm (₹1,500–1,800/m²) on up to 2,500 m² per farmer, so about ₹18.75 lakh at most. Projects above 2,500 m² can apply to NHB for a 50% credit-linked subsidy, up to ₹100 lakh. Kryzen is an NHB subsidy provider for all states and an NHM state subsidy provider in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Yes. You can install cocopeat grow bags, NFT channels, Dutch buckets or troughs inside it.
Shade net structures, net types and when to choose one.
More detail: Nethouse
A nethouse, also called a shade net house, is a galvanised steel structure covered with shade net on top and insect net on the sides instead of plastic film. It cuts harsh sun, keeps most insects out and protects crops from wind and hail.
A nethouse is covered with shade net and insect net. A polyhouse is covered with plastic film. A polyhouse protects from rain and cold. A nethouse costs less and stays cooler.
It depends on your crop. A 35% net suits tomato, capsicum, cucumber and leafy greens. A 50% net suits nurseries and spices. A 75% net suits flowers such as rose, gerbera and carnation. 80–90% nets are too dark for most crops. Kryzen chooses the shade factor for your crop and climate.
Tape net is woven from flat HDPE tapes and costs less. Monofilament net is woven from round threads, so it is stronger and keeps its shape longer. Both are UV-stabilised.
The GI steel frame lasts many years. Shade net and insect net are usually replaced every 3 to 5 years, depending on sun, dust and monsoon load. Kryzen gives a 3-year warranty on both nets, and keeping the nets tight makes them last longer.
Both hold the roof net between the columns. Cable purlin uses tensioned GI cables and costs less, so it suits low-wind sites. Pipe purlin uses GI pipes, keeps its shape under load and suits windy, exposed plots.
Yes. Under NHM/MIDH, a tubular nethouse gets 50% of the ₹710/m² cost norm on up to 2,500 m² per farmer, so about ₹8.88 lakh at most. Projects above 2,500 m² can apply to NHB for a 50% credit-linked subsidy. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
Yes. Cucumber is a fast summer crop in a nethouse. Many farmers follow it with capsicum or tomato in winter.
Yes. You can install cocopeat grow bags, NFT channels, Dutch buckets or troughs inside a nethouse.
What hydroponics is, profitability, safety and nutrition.
More detail: Hydroponics basics
Hydroponics is growing plants without soil. Roots grow in water or an inert medium such as cocopeat, and receive a measured nutrient solution. Learn more about hydroponics.
It can be, when the crop, market and farm size are planned well and the farm is managed closely. Profit depends on the crop, local prices, power and labour costs, and how you sell. We prepare a project report with expected yields and costs for your site before you invest.
Leafy greens such as lettuce and spinach, herbs such as basil and mint, and fruiting crops such as tomato, capsicum, cucumber and strawberry grow well. See the crops you can grow in hydroponics.
Because water is recirculated and delivered straight to the roots, hydroponic farms can use up to about 90% less water than open-field farming for the same crop.
Yes. The crop is grown in a clean, controlled environment with a measured nutrient solution, and protected structures reduce the need for pesticides. Produce must still be handled and stored hygienically like any fresh food.
A polyhouse is the protective structure; hydroponics is a way of growing without soil. Many commercial farms combine both: a polyhouse or nethouse protects the crop, and a hydroponic or grow-bag system feeds it.
For commercial farming in most of India, yes. A polyhouse or nethouse protects plants from rain, heat and pests.
NFT for leafy greens and herbs, cocopeat grow bags or Dutch buckets for fruiting vegetables, troughs for strawberry and ebb and flow for nursery plants.
Hydroponic projects inside eligible protected structures can apply under NHB, NHM/MIDH and AIF. Check current rules with your state.
No. Hydroponic plants need fully water-soluble nutrients with all micro elements.
Every day.
Usually yes, because there is no soil and the crop is inside a protected structure. But pests can still enter and spread fast without good hygiene.
You need to learn EC, pH, nutrients and crop care. The Kryzen Hydroponic Masterclass and practical farm training cover these.
Each soil-less system we build, how it works and what it suits.
More detail: NFT for leafy greens
NFT (nutrient film technique) runs a thin film of nutrient solution through channels, where plant roots take up water and nutrients. Kryzen builds NFT A-frame and NFT flatbed systems.
Leafy greens and herbs: lettuce, basil, spinach, parsley, coriander, mint, oregano, thyme, rosemary and rocket.
A Kryzen flatbed layout fits about 26 plants per m². An A-frame fits more per m² of floor.
In a 2026 Kryzen quotation, a 4,080 m² farm with 60% NFT and 40% grow bags cost ₹1.44 crore with GST, including the polyhouse.
Roots in NFT can dry quickly without flow. Kryzen connects the system to a generator or solar backup if you provide one.
In most Indian climates, yes, plus shade in summer to keep the roots cool.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use an AIF loan.
More detail: NFT flatbed
It is a bench-height frame that holds many NFT channels side by side. Nutrient water flows through each channel as a thin film and drains back to a tank. Workers plant and harvest standing up.
One Kryzen flatbed is 20 ft long and 3.5 ft wide, with 12 channels and 468 plants. In one Kryzen project, about 2,450 m² of flatbed NFT held 62,900 plants.
A flatbed lays channels flat at one height, so light and growth are even and work is easy on large farms. An A-frame stacks channels on a sloped frame to fit more plants on a small floor.
Lettuce (romaine, iceberg, lollo), basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley, spinach and rocket. Fruiting crops like capsicum and tomato grow better in cocopeat grow bags.
Yes, for commercial farms. The polyhouse protects plants from rain, pests and strong sun.
Roots in NFT can dry quickly without flow. Kryzen connects the system to a generator or solar backup if you provide one.
The polyhouse that houses the NFT system can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use a bank loan. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
Yes. Kryzen’s older website called this system Flat NFT. It is the same flatbed design.
More detail: NFT A-frame
It is a vertical hydroponic frame shaped like the letter A. NFT channels run along both sloping sides, one above another. Nutrient water flows through each channel and back to a tank, so the same floor holds more plants than a flatbed.
An A-frame stacks channels on a sloped frame to fit more plants per m². A flatbed lays channels flat at bench height, which is easier to work on large farms.
Leafy greens and herbs that grow fast: lettuce, basil, spinach, coriander, mint and parsley. Fruiting crops like capsicum and tomato grow better in cocopeat grow bags.
Yes, if the terrace can take the load and has water and power. Kryzen checks this during the consultation.
No. Strawberry does not do well in an A-frame. We grow it in raised troughs instead.
A standard Kryzen A-frame is 20 ft long, 7 ft high and 3.5 ft wide at the base. It has 7 levels on each side, 14 channels in all, and holds 546 plants.
Yes. Kryzen’s older website called this system Vertical NFT. It is the same A-frame design.
More detail: Cocopeat growbag farming
Plants grow in UV-stabilised bags of washed cocopeat instead of soil, and a drip system feeds each plant a measured dose of nutrient water.
Fruiting vegetables and cut flowers: capsicum, tomato, cucumber, chilli, brinjal, broccoli, strawberry, gerbera, rose and carnation.
A Kryzen growbag layout fits about 3.7 plants per m², for example 3,744 plants on 1,008 m².
At the rates of a Kryzen growbag quotation, 1 acre comes to about ₹1.09 crore with GST, including the polyhouse. Ask us for a quotation for your site.
Cocopeat is usually replaced or refreshed between crops to keep the roots healthy. Your agronomist will advise on your crop and water.
Yes. Grow bags are used inside a polyhouse, which protects the crop from rain, pests and heat and lets tall crops be trellised.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use an AIF loan.
More detail: Cocopeat grow bags
They are UV-stabilised bags filled with washed cocopeat. Each plant grows in a bag and is fed nutrient solution through a drip line. It is the most common hydroponic system for capsicum, cucumber and tomato in India.
Fruiting crops: green and coloured capsicum, English cucumber, tomato, cherry tomato, zucchini and broccoli. Leafy greens and herbs grow better in NFT.
Grow bags hold the roots in cocopeat and feed them by drip, which suits tall fruiting crops. NFT has no media and runs a thin film of solution past the roots, which suits fast leafy greens.
Most projects are built in 45 to 90 days after material reaches the site.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use a bank loan. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
More detail: Dutch bucket
It is a row of buckets filled with expanded clay balls. A drip line feeds each bucket, and the run-off drains through a siphon elbow into a common pipe that takes it back to the tank. It is also called a Bato bucket system.
Tall, long-cycle vine crops such as tomato, cucumber, capsicum and brinjal. Leafy greens and herbs grow better in NFT.
Both are fed by drip. In Dutch buckets the run-off is collected and reused; in grow bags it drains away. Grow bags are simpler to set up; Dutch buckets save more water and nutrients.
The siphon elbow keeps a small reserve of solution at the base of the bucket and lets the rest drain to the return line, so roots never sit in standing water.
Yes, for commercial farms. The polyhouse protects plants from rain, pests and strong sun.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use a bank loan. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
More detail: Grow slab
A grow slab is a block of compressed low-EC washed cocopeat sealed in a white-on-black UV sleeve. You soak it, cut planting holes and grow a few plants in each slab, fed by drip.
Long-cycle fruiting crops such as capsicum, tomato and cucumber, and also chilli, brinjal and cut flowers like gerbera and rose.
Both use drip-fed cocopeat. A slab comes compressed and sealed, ready to soak and plant; a grow bag is filled with loose cocopeat on site.
White reflects heat and light away from the roots, and black keeps the root zone dark so algae cannot grow.
Low-EC washed cocopeat, ideally 100% cocopeat. Mixes with a lot of coco fibre drain too fast and give uneven growth.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use a bank loan. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
More detail: Trough
It is a long, lined trough filled with low-EC washed cocopeat and fed by drip lines. Plants grow in one continuous root bed instead of separate bags.
On-ground troughs are laid in rows on the polyhouse floor and suit tall crops such as capsicum and tomato. A-frame vertical troughs are fixed in tiers on an A-shaped frame and suit strawberry and leafy greens.
Strawberry and leafy greens in A-frame troughs; capsicum, tomato, cucumber, chilli and basil in on-ground troughs.
Both use drip-fed cocopeat. A trough gives one long, continuous root bed and can be stacked on an A-frame; grow bags keep each plant or pair of plants separate.
Low-EC washed cocopeat, ideally 100% cocopeat. Mixes with a lot of coco fibre drain too fast and give uneven growth.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use a bank loan. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
More detail: Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow, also called flood and drain, is a hydroponic system where plants in pots or trays sit on a shallow table. A pump on a timer floods the table with nutrient solution during the on time, then the solution drains back to the tank.
Kryzen ebb and flow benches are used for potted plants, vegetable nurseries and flower nurseries: seedlings of tomato, capsicum and chilli, young gerbera, rose and chrysanthemum plants, and potted roses, anthurium, orchids and succulents.
A standard Kryzen bench is 8 ft long, 4 ft wide and 2.3 ft high. Benches are set in rows to fill your polyhouse.
Expanded metal suits most pots and trays, welded wire mesh is a lighter, lower-cost option, and bar grating is the strongest, for heavy pots. We suggest the right base for your pots in the quotation.
The flood tray sits on rollers on its stand. Turning the handwheel slides the tray sideways to open an aisle, so a few moving aisles replace fixed paths between every table.
A timer runs the pump with an on time and an off time. During the on time the bench floods; during the off time it drains back to the tank. Our agronomy team sets the times for your crop, pot size and season.
Each bench has its own 300 L nutrient tank.
Expanded clay balls (LECA) in pots. They drain fast, so air reaches the roots between floods, and they can be washed and reused.
NFT runs a thin film of water through channels all the time. Ebb and flow floods a table now and then and drains it, and plants grow in pots with media.
The polyhouse can get NHB or NHM subsidy, and the project can use a bank loan. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file.
Home kits and Dutch bucket planters for balconies and terraces.
More detail: Home hydroponics
Yes. Small vertical and flat-bed systems work on balconies, terraces and indoors. See our hydroponic systems for home.
No. The planter kits hold plants in net cups with coco coins or clay pebbles, and roots take nutrients from the water. The Dutch bucket uses clay balls.
The 50 planter needs about 10 sq ft. The 100 planter stands vertically, so it fits more plants in the same floor space. A Dutch bucket needs space for one large plant.
On a balcony, terrace, window or in a well-lit room. The planters work in moderate to bright light, with good air flow.
For the 100 planter, add two fertiliser marbles each time you refill the tank; that feeds the plants for about a week. The 50 planter comes with a nutrient kit.
The 100 planter uses shallow-flow end caps, so roots keep getting water and nutrients during a power cut.
Yes. Place your order online and our team will confirm delivery to your address.
Project cost, bank loans, payback and project reports.
More detail: About Kryzen

Growing period, systems, revenue and markets for each crop.
Vegetables
More detail: Tomato
Yes. Tomato is one of the most grown polyhouse crops in India. Plants grow in cocopeat grow bags or Dutch buckets, are trained up strings and fed by drip, and fruit for 6–8 months.
Cocopeat grow bags are the most common. Dutch buckets suit sites where water is short, and grow slabs suit large, uniform plantings. NFT is for leafy greens, not tomato.
About 70–90 days after transplanting, depending on variety and season. Harvest then continues 2–3 times a week for 6–8 months.
Indeterminate hybrids that keep growing and fruiting: round hybrid tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, beefsteak and truss cherry types. Our agronomy team suggests varieties that suit your market.
Usually 2.5–3.5 plants per m², depending on variety, training and row layout. Your layout is planned after a site inspection.
There is little wind indoors, so the trusses or strings are shaken gently in the late morning to release pollen.
Expected revenue per acre for one crop cycle is about ₹2–6 lakh in open field, ₹5–10 lakh in a polyhouse with soil-based growing; in a polyhouse with hydroponics it is about ₹1.5–4 lakh a month. It depends on variety, season, market price and how well the crop is managed.
Tomato is among the vegetables listed for NHB support on protected cultivation. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file for you.

More detail: Capsicum
Yes. Coloured capsicum is one of the most profitable polyhouse crops in India. Plants grow in cocopeat grow bags, are trained up strings and fed by drip, and fruit for 7–8 months.
Cocopeat grow bags are the most common. Grow slabs suit large, uniform plantings and Dutch buckets suit sites where water is short. NFT is for leafy greens, not capsicum.
Green fruit is ready about 60–70 days after transplanting and coloured fruit about 90–100 days. Harvest then continues for 7–8 months.
Red and yellow capsicum sell for more but take longer to ripen on the plant. Green capsicum is picked earlier. Many farms grow red and yellow together for retail and hotel buyers.
Usually 2.5–3 plants per m², depending on variety, training and row layout. Your layout is planned after a site inspection.
High heat, low humidity, uneven watering or too much shade can make flowers drop. A polyhouse with shade net, foggers or fan and pad cooling keeps conditions steady.
Expected revenue per acre for one crop cycle is about ₹10–14 lakh in open field, ₹12–16 lakh in a polyhouse with soil-based growing; in a polyhouse with hydroponics it is about ₹3–10 lakh a month. It depends on colour, variety, season, market price and how well the crop is managed.
Capsicum is among the vegetables listed for NHB support on protected cultivation. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file for you.
To local markets, hotels, retail chains and exporters. Use Price Watcher to track rates and Buyers Connect to reach buyers.
More detail: Cucumber
Yes. Seedless cucumber is one of the most grown polyhouse crops in India. Plants grow in cocopeat grow bags, are trained up strings and fed by drip, and give up to three crops a year.
Cocopeat grow bags are the most common. Grow slabs suit large, uniform plantings and Dutch buckets suit sites where water is short. NFT is for leafy greens, not cucumber.
About 35–45 days after transplanting. Fruit is then picked every day or two for 2–3 months.
No. Seedless (parthenocarpic) varieties set fruit without pollination, which is why they suit a closed polyhouse.
Usually 2.5–3 plants per m², depending on variety, training and row layout. Your layout is planned after a site inspection.
Cucumber is among the vegetables listed for NHB support on protected cultivation. Our team prepares the project report and subsidy file for you.
Expected revenue per acre for one crop cycle is about ₹2–6 lakh in open field, ₹5–9 lakh in a polyhouse with soil-based growing; in a polyhouse with hydroponics it is about ₹4–6 lakh a month. It depends on variety, season, market price and how well the crop is managed.
To local markets, hotels, retail chains and quick commerce. Use Price Watcher to track rates and Buyers Connect to reach buyers.
More detail: Chilli
Yes. Chilli grows well in a polyhouse or nethouse. Plants grow in cocopeat grow bags, are supported on strings and fed by drip, and fruit for 5–6 months.
Cocopeat grow bags are the most common. Troughs suit long rows and Dutch buckets suit sites where water is short. NFT is for leafy greens, not chilli.
Green chilli is ready about 60–75 days after transplanting. Harvest then continues every 5–7 days for 5–6 months.
Leaf curl comes from thrips, mites and the viruses whitefly spreads. Insect net, double doors and sticky traps keep most of them out.
Usually 2.5–3 plants per m², depending on variety and row layout. Your layout is planned after a site inspection.
Expected revenue per acre for one crop cycle is about ₹2–5 lakh in open field, ₹4–8 lakh in a polyhouse with soil-based growing; in a polyhouse with hydroponics it is about ₹2–4 lakh a month. It depends on variety, season, market price and how well the crop is managed.
To local markets, hotels, retail chains, processors and exporters. Use Price Watcher to track rates and Buyers Connect to reach buyers.
More detail: Brinjal
Yes. Brinjal grows well in a polyhouse or nethouse. Plants grow in cocopeat grow bags, are trained to 2 stems and fed by drip, and fruit for 5–6 months.

More detail: Buyers Connect
Buyers Connect is Kryzen’s software that connects our farming partners and clients directly with verified buyers across India, either for one-off sales or through long-term buyer contracts.
Kryzen farming partners and clients. Buyer data is confidential and shared only with farms in the Kryzen network.
Farms below 1 acre use direct buyer connect. Farms above 1 acre that can produce and deliver continuously, 350 of 365 days, can apply for buyer contracts.
We work with a limited network of 3,000 verified buyers across India.
Every buyer must have their own shop or premises. Wholesalers and traders must be part of, or associated with, an APMC. Sellers need a Shop Act licence, and food processors need an FSSAI licence.
Buyers are rated on the quality of every trade. If a buyer’s rating drops below 3.5, we remove them from the system.
You and the buyer agree all terms before the contract starts. Our team helps you find the buyer, finalise the agreement and negotiate on your behalf.
Additional service fees may apply to buyer contracts, depending on the contract size and whether a professional negotiator is needed. Your account manager will explain any fee before you agree.
No. Buyers are individual businesses. Kryzen Biotech Private Limited is not part of any transaction between you and a buyer, is not responsible for any financial transaction, and no money is routed through Kryzen.

More detail: Price Watcher
Price Watcher is Kryzen’s crop price tool. It uses past market data to suggest which crops are likely to fetch better prices in the coming months, so you can plan what to plant.
Price Watcher collects prices from eNAM and APMC markets, quick commerce platforms and online marketplaces across India, 735 data sources in all, and reads them alongside climate, purchase patterns and import and export markets. Every price goes through sanity checks that normalise uneven highs and lows.
In 2026, Price Watcher predicts the price trend of a crop with 69% accuracy, up from 55% in 2025. Accuracy improves as we add more data points. Treat the trend as a guide, not a guarantee.
The forecast is built on Kryzen’s own trend model, a proprietary RNN algorithm trained on past weekly prices. It shows a predicted retail price high for the coming weeks.
We have seven years of price data. Charts show six months, one year or three years at a time.
88 crops grown for commercial production: lettuces and salad leaves, leafy greens, herbs, exotic vegetables, tomatoes, capsicum and chillies, brinjal, cucumbers, gourds and beans. The full list is on this page.
Prices are tracked week by week, and each crop page shows the current week with its start and end dates.
Use it as one input. Prices are for information only and are not financial or investment advice; markets change with weather, demand and supply. Talk to your Kryzen agronomist before you commit to a crop.
Price Watcher is part of the farm software that comes with every Kryzen farm. Clients log in at alpha.kryzen.com.

More detail: Nutrient calculator
It is Kryzen’s software for hydroponic nutrient recipes. It gives custom recipes for 88 crops, split by growth stage, and calculates exactly how much of each fertiliser goes into Tank A and Tank B.
No. The recipes are built to work with fertilisers that are already sold for open-field agriculture, such as calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate and mono potassium phosphate.
Calcium is kept in Tank A, apart from the phosphates and sulphates in Tank B. Mixed in concentrated form they react and settle out, so they are only combined after dilution in the irrigation water.
Yes. Every recipe is JSON-based, so it can be fed into any automation system, including hydroBUILD, or changed at code level.
Yes. Choose your crop type and tank capacity, and the quantities for each fertiliser are calculated for that tank.
