At Ceres we are challenging the idea that “high tech” means “expensive” when it comes to greenhouse design. Between our patented passive solar structural design and our Ground to Air Heat Transfer (GAHT™) System, innovation is at our core and we aim to provide growers with the most energy-efficient growing solutions. We help our growers…
Our data engineers have developed a comprehensive online tool that compares the energy savings of a Ceres sealed greenhouse against a traditional greenhouse design and an indoor grow room. The purpose of the tool is for users to see a breakdown of power consumption and CO2 emission data from those three types of facilities, for…

A Ceres Greenhouse allows cultivators to accelerate their hemp production with three distinct approaches. These are: Propagation Breeding & seed production Year-round operation History and Considerations The passing of the Agricultural…
What is Vapor Pressure Deficit? Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is a pressure value that combines both temperature and relative humidity(RH). VPD allows growers to understand stress in their plants. It is a measure of the evaporation potential, or the difference in “wetness” (the amount of water vapor), of the air at the leaf versus the…
