Learn the fundamental principles behind healthier plants, better climate strategies, and sustainable greenhouse production. In four practical modules, our specialists explain how plant balances, climate, data and the root zone work together. This course is also included with a Plant Empowerment Full Membership.
Basic course
The principles explained
Growing by Plant Empowerment
Plant Empowerment is built on a simple idea: the plant already knows how to grow. By understanding how plants balance energy, water and assimilates, you can make better growing decisions based on plant physiology instead of intuition alone.
Because these principles are based on natural plant processes and physics, they can be applied in every greenhouse, climate and crop around the world.
Course details
What you’ll learn
During this course you’ll build a solid understanding of the four pillars of Plant Empowerment.
- Climate & Energy Balance: Learn how temperature, humidity and CO₂ influence plant activity and how to create a uniform greenhouse climate.
- Data-driven Growing: Discover how weather stations, aspirator boxes and plant sensors help you understand what your crop is actually experiencing.
- Root Zone & Water Balance: Understand substrates, irrigation strategy, drain, dry-back, minerals, microbiology and the famous Big 6.
- Plant Balance: Learn why uniformity is the foundation for resilient crops, predictable production and sustainable growing.
Who should join?
The Basic Course is for anyone who wants to understand the why behind greenhouse growing. Instead of focusing on fixed recipes, you’ll learn the principles that explain how plants respond to their environment. Whether you’re a grower looking to improve daily decisions, a consultant supporting customers, or a student building your knowledge, this course gives you a practical framework that can be applied to any greenhouse crop, anywhere in the world.
