Which greenhouse suits Lunglei?
For hydroponic farm construction in Lunglei, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. With average highs between 20°C and 29°C through the year, Lunglei 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 525 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank.
Based on Lunglei's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (all year), mint (all year) and lettuce (11 months). Coriander fits all year in a naturally ventilated polyhouse. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Lunglei.
