Why the Hybrid R is the Right Structure for Microgreens
Microgreens require diffuse, even light distribution to prevent uneven growth and hypocotyl elongation, the Hybrid R's milky white or diffuse poly film naturally scatters direct sun into soft, omnidirectional light that produces uniform stem length across the full tray. The structure's wide span can accommodate commercial racking systems with multiple tiers per bay, dramatically increasing production density per square foot of footprint. With cycles as short as 7 days for radish and 10 to 12 days for sunflower, a single Hybrid R bay can cycle 25 to 40 crops per year.
