How the forced ventilation system works in our mini greenhouses

When nurturing plants in a controlled environment like the S-Series Smart Mini Greenhouse, the science behind how plants grow and adapt becomes fascinating. One concept at play is thigmomorphogenesis—a process where plants respond to physical stimuli, such as wind or touch, by strengthening their structure. This phenomenon is cleverly mimicked to an extent by the greenhouse’s forced ventilation fan system, which serves multiple purposes, from promoting healthy propagation to combating damping off and managing heat.

Understanding Thigmomorphogenesis

In the wild, plants are constantly exposed to environmental forces like wind, rain, and physical contact with animals. These interactions trigger mechanical stress responses, causing plants to grow sturdier stems and more resilient structures. This adaptation is essential for survival, ensuring plants can withstand harsh conditions.

In greenhouse settings, this natural mechanical stimulus is absent. Without intervention, plants may grow leggy, weak, and prone to collapsing under their weight. The forced ventilation fan system in the S-Series can help replicate this environmental factor, gently stimulating plants to develop stronger stems, more compact growth, and enhanced overall health.
