A commercial hydroponic system that grows microgreens and baby greens simultaneously.
54 active channels running while 54 more germinate. The only system in the lineup that produces both crops at the same time, on the same rack. Professionally installed and built for wholesale volume.
Description
The Commercial Production Rack is a turn-key hydroponic system engineered for serious growers ready to operate at full commercial scale. With approximately 240 square feet of grow space and 54 active grow channels — plus 54 additional channels held in germination simultaneously — every square foot works.
The system ships as prefabricated materials to your grow site and includes professional installation, training, and ongoing growing support. You focus on sales. The rack handles production.

Who It’s For
- Commercial growers ready to scale: You've validated your market and are ready to commit to serious, recurring production volume. The CPR gives you the infrastructure to meet that demand without adding labor.
- Wholesale & distribution operations: Restaurants, grocers, and distributors need reliability. This system produces at a scale where you can sign long-term contracts and actually deliver.
- AutoKit growers ready for the next level: If you've mastered the process on an AutoKit and demand has outpaced supply, the CPR is the natural next step. Every skill you've built transfers directly.
Production at full commercial scale
The Commercial Production Rack is the only system in the lineup that grows microgreens and baby greens at the same time. While the StarterKit and AutoKit grow one crop per planting, the CPR runs both simultaneously — microgreens on some levels, baby greens on others — so you can supply two separate markets from a single rack without changing your schedule.
Individual lighting, watering, and airflow controls on every level mean each crop gets exactly what it needs, regardless of what's growing above or below it. Mistakes don't cascade. Harvests don't surprise you.
What you gain
- Simultaneous microgreen and baby green production from one rack
- A fully automated environment that runs your production schedule
- Turn-key installation so you're growing from day one
- 5,280 lbs of annual production capacity
- Ongoing growing support after installation
- A clean, food-safe system built for commercial compliance
Turn-Key Installation and Training
Prefabricated materials ship directly to your grow site. Our team installs everything and trains your staff so your first harvest starts on the right foot.
Two Crops, One Rack, Simultaneously
Run microgreens on some levels and baby greens on others at the same time. Supply restaurants with specialty microgreens and grocery accounts with salad mix from a single system without adjusting your schedule.
Growing Support After Installation
We stay with you after the system is running. Troubleshooting, crop questions, workflow improvements — you're not on your own once we leave the grow site.
Harvest Weights — 9" × 72" Channel
Microgreens
| Variety | Seed Weight | Duration | Yield per Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arugula | 53g | 9–10 days | 2.0 lbs / 0.9 kg |
| Broccoli | 72g | 9–10 days | 2.2 lbs / 1.0 kg |
| Mustard | 38g | 9–10 days | 2.3 lbs / 1.0 kg |
| Cabbage | 60g | 11–12 days | 2.3 lbs / 1.0 kg |
| Radish | 96g | 8–9 days | 3.6 lbs / 1.6 kg |
One Grow Channel
Three 10"×20" Trays
Each channel replaces three standard soil trays. The reusable mat system eliminates the annual cost of soil entirely across both microgreens and baby greens. Expect 70+ uses per mat before replacement.

Baby Greens
| Variety | Seed Weight | Duration | Yield per Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arugula | 22g | 14–16 days | 2.8 lbs / 1.3 kg |
| Broccoli | 24g | 14–16 days | 2.6 lbs / 1.2 kg |
| Mustard | 14g | 14–16 days | 2.9 lbs / 1.3 kg |
| Cabbage | 22g | 16–18 days | 2.8 lbs / 1.3 kg |
| Radish | 53g | 12–14 days | 3.6 lbs / 1.6 kg |
Same Channels
Two Crops
Baby greens run on the same 9x72" channels and reusable mats as microgreens. No hardware changes between crops. Baby greens sell as salad mixes, which reaches grocery and direct-to-consumer markets that microgreens alone don't cover. Running both simultaneously doubles your buyer base without adding a second system.

Your path to scale
Benefits
Grows microgreens and baby greens simultaneously
Run both crops on the same rack at the same time. Microgreens for restaurants and specialty buyers, baby greens as salad mix for grocery and direct-to-consumer. Two revenue streams from one system.
Serious output in a small footprint
A 6ft × 8ft footprint generates 110 lbs per harvest and over 5,200 lbs per year. The vertical design maximizes every square foot of your grow space.
Automation cuts daily labor to a minimum
Watering, lighting, and airflow run on set schedules at every level. You focus on seeding, harvesting, and selling — not managing equipment.
Consistent harvests, reliable income
The same conditions every cycle means crops finish evenly and on time. Less crop loss, fewer surprises, and the confidence to take on wholesale commitments.
Food safety built in, not bolted on
Fans, reservoir, grow channels, and drain channels are all designed for easy removal and regular cleaning. Commercial compliance isn't an afterthought.
Who It's For
Commercial growers scaling up from a kit
You've proven the process on a StarterKit or AutoKit and demand has outgrown your current setup. The CPR is the system that takes your operation to full commercial volume.
Wholesale and restaurant suppliers
Your buyers need consistent weekly volumes they can rely on. The CPR's automated production cycle and high output capacity make those commitments possible.
Growers targeting multiple markets
Running microgreens and baby greens simultaneously lets you supply restaurants with specialty crops and grocery stores with salad mix at the same time. More buyer types, more consistent revenue.
Farms building a dedicated grow facility
If you're setting up a purpose-built space for production, the CPR is engineered for it — prefabricated for fast installation and designed to anchor your operation.
Educational and institutional programs
Universities, culinary schools, and agricultural programs looking for a real commercial-scale system to teach production at volume.
