The energy use of the LEDs for a live lettuce plant and a fridge is about the same (or even lower), so you could keep it fresh for a few weeks more in a small indoors farm I'd say.
- cwkoss 6y agoI wonder if you could grow lettuce within a refrigerator and drop temperature as a means of preventing bolting and to extend lifetime. Could both be better than sum of either individually?
- bserge 6y agoYou mean turn the refrigerator into a growth box? While still being able to use the cooling function? That sounds like an interesting idea. Not sure how live lettuce reacts to low temperature, it might go into faster growth and would actually start rotting sooner. Many plants do that in sudden weather changes.
