Light deprivation growing presents several challenges, primarily related to maintaining precise environmental control. One of the main difficulties is managing temperature, as covering the greenhouse to block light can lead to overheating during the day or cooling at night. This requires efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems to maintain consistent temperatures.
Humidity control is another challenge, as restricted airflow can cause moisture to build up, leading to mold, mildew, or disease if not managed properly. Light leakage can be a problem—small gaps in the blackout material can disrupt the plants' growth cycle, so ensuring a completely light-tight environment is crucial.
