The ideal size for a light deprivation greenhouse largely depends on the specific crops being cultivated, the scale of production, and the grower’s resources and goals. Generally, a greenhouse should be large enough to accommodate the desired number of plants while allowing for efficient airflow, light distribution, and easy access for maintenance and harvesting.
Larger operations may require greenhouses exceeding 5,000 square feet or more to maximize production and accommodate advanced systems for light deprivation and environmental control. The height of the greenhouse is also important; taller structures can enhance light penetration and airflow, which is particularly important in a light deprivation setup.
