The Commercial Advantage
Every square foot matters. Our system can house up to 40 plants in the same 2' × 2' spacing traditionally used for one plant—then scale across your greenhouse footprint.
The Math is Undeniable

Up to 3,900%
More plants per square foot
One plant per 2' × 2' (~0.25 plants/sq ft) vs up to 40 plants in the same footprint; yielding up to 3,900% more plants per square foot.

Going Vertical vs. Traditional Greenhouse
Same agronomic story, different physics: more growing positions per patch of floor, less water per pound, and harvest timing that can beat soil when the system is tuned.
| Metric | Traditional bench spacing | Forge ~5' vertical tower |
|---|---|---|
| Yield velocity vs soil | Baseline (soil or bench) | Up to 30% faster |
| Planting density (same 2' × 2') | 1 plant (~0.25 per sq ft) | Up to 40 plants (~10 per sq ft on the same 2' × 2' footprint)—up to 3,900% more plants per sq ft |
| Floor space per plant (that plot) | ~4 sq ft per plant | ~0.1 sq ft per plant — up to 97.5% less floor space per plant |
| Water vs traditional farming | Baseline | Up to 90% less |
| Per-plant harvest weight vs soil | Comparable per plant with appropriately sized grow buckets for the crop (hydroponic vs soil). *15 cup (72°) and multi-gallon (180°) buckets are coming soon. Our standard grow buckets (36°) are 8" tall × 5" deep × 4" wide supporting approximately 4-6 cups of media. | |
