Opti-Gro™
Opti-Gro™ is a climate-smart plant growth and training chamber utilizing patented Opti-Filter™ technology to convert sunlight into red-enriched light while providing a protected micro-climate and vine training. Opti-Gro accelerates the establishment of newly planted vines and blueberries to reach first crop and full production one to two years sooner while providing significant labor and water savings.

What it delivers.
Accelerated Vegetative Growth
Delivers up to 80% increase in shoot elongation and between 30–100% increase in trunk diameter in vines.
Enhanced Root Development
Promotes root systems that are 30–40% denser and larger to improve nutrient and water uptake.
Climate Resilience
Protective micro-climate reduces plant stress, accelerates shoot lignification (woodiness), making vines up to 5x more likely to survive winter cold dieback.
Faster Time-to-Production
Shortens the plant's non-productive juvenile phase enabling first crop and full production 1–2 years sooner than conventional practices.
How it earns its keep.
Increased First-Crop Yields
Drives up to 400% increase in fruitfulness and harvestable yield of the harvestable first crops.
Water and Power Savings
Mitigates daily plant water stress by up to 50%; leads to a predicted 25–50% reduction in irrigation and electricity required for pumping.
Significant Labor Reductions
Opti-Gro self-trains young vines up the chamber and onto the cordon wire, resulting in as much as 65% reduction in labor costs associated with tying, tipping, and shoot training.
Input Cost Savings
Enables up to 20% reduction in expensive fertilizers and soil amendments during the first two years of establishment.
Regenerative Agriculture Support
Allows for the early integration of livestock into vineyards to manage weeds without damaging young foliage, which improves soil health and microbial biomass.
Strong Economic Benefit
Projects an approximately 8–12× return on investment, depending on crop and growing conditions.
Modular Design
Opti-Gro™ modular systems are versatile, easy to install and remove, and have a 12-14 year usable life. Manufactured in the U.S.A from recyclable HDPE.
