FAQ

1. What is IHT's core technology? Patented closed-loop in-door growing systems that grow plants both Hydroponically AND Inverted. System hardware includes proximate lighting and massive air flow.

​

2. How does the inverted growing system work? Plants are suspended roots-up in stainless steel troughs with V-shaped fingers for stem support. Nutrients and water flow down via gravity. Proximate lighting and multiple fans optimize air flow leading to improved photosynthesis, cellular transpiration and evaporation.

​

​

3. What physiological changes occur in inverted plants? Gravity influences root dynamics (statoliths trigger downward growth), shoot elongation (thin, hollow stems), gene expression (altered trafficking), auxin redistribution (promotes lower-side growth), gravity regulation (increases nodes/flowers), calcium shifts (signaling), microtubule reorientation, and chloroplast repositioning for efficiency.

​

​

4. How does it accelerate growth? Plant inversion triggers gravitropic responses, enhancing nutrient absorption and stem/leaf development. Cylindrical shaped plants grow rapidly downward induced by rapid water/nutrient flow and with gravity. 

​

​

5. What are the key benefits? 2-3 fold yield increase, 90% water reduction via recycling, 2.5 to 3 times faster growth rate, larger plants (12-15 feet), reduced maintenance (1-2 hours/cycle generating significantly higher gross operating margins

 

 

6. How sustainable is it? Closed-loop recycles nutrients/water, preserves arable land, reduces waste; eco-friendly without genetic/chemical alterations.
