When it comes to leafy greens, there’s more to success than nutrient formulas and climate control. Few understand this better than Denis Laci, founder of Agranom and one of Europe’s most trusted crop consultants. With years of hands-on experience and a no-nonsense approach to hydroponics, Denis has helped transform underperforming farms into high-efficiency operations across multiple continents.

In this exclusive feature, Denis shares his hard-earned lessons on genetics, airflow, humidity deficit, and why blind faith in off-the-shelf systems can cost growers more than they bargained for. Whether you're just starting your indoor farming journey or optimizing a large-scale greenhouse, his insights offer a powerful reminder: the right setup starts with the right questions.
