LettUs Grow trial growing chilli plants with aeroponics

At LettUs Grow they are always looking to explore the potential of controlled environment agriculture - from developing new technology, to finding new locations for our container farms or experimenting with what they can grow using aeroponics.

In LettUs Grow's most recent proof of concept trial, their research scientists explored growing bush type chilli plants in their aeroponic farm.

They grew three different chilli seed varieties, which were propagated in a deep-water culture system until their roots were 2cm long, before being moved into our aeroponic systems. Throughout the trials, they explored changing environmental conditions to boost plant growth, encourage fruit ripening and increase the heat of the fruit - to taste, that is.
