Why FFG?
Experience. Quality. Service.
FFG began as a vision one day
on the farm. Growing. Doing
it. Coming up with ways to do
it better. With a background of
two decades in the field came
the ideas of how to create products for others to do
it as well. With each growing cycle came a deeper
understanding of the plants and their needs. With
each season came lessons from our experience
on how to create a better growing environment that
needed less daily input and reduced the margins
of error. We are farmers that came to know and
understand our field and create greenhouses to
service it. Since 2006 FFG has been the first in
educating growers as to the benefits of growing
in greenhouses, utilizing the techniques of light
deprivation and providing our customers with only
the highest quality products. Since that time FFG
has continued to set, and raise, the bar of what
is now considered the Industry standard. Cutting
edge technology and superior quality products
combined with our experience and knowledge
quickly made FFG the Leaders in Light Dep. At
FFG we continue to offer only the best, innovative,
energy efficient products available on the market
today. Our mission of education continues by
offering seminars nationwide on light deprivation
and growing in greenhouses.
When you look through our catalog rest assured
that we have painstakingly taken the time to
provide only the best options for your growing
needs. Quickly you will realize that this is not a
catalog packed with all kinds of options that can
make you wonder where to begin. Instead, we
have narrowed down our product offerings to
make available only what you need to get the job
done right the first time. Our approach of offering
energy efficient products means that your monthly
overhead will be drastically reduced. Purchasing
the highest quality products on the market means
that you can concentrate on growing your crop
and not worry about your equipment functioning
properly. Our automated systems come standard
with Agrowtek’s cultivation controls. Made in
the USA they are the best the industry has to
offer when it comes to monitoring your crop and
managing your greenhouse. All of our structures
meet NGMA requirements, the strictest monitoring
agency for structural integrity within the USA
for greenhouse manufacturers. Our structure’s
components are tubular galvanized steel with
connection points that have been pressed and
punched for efficient, proper installation. Not only
does this eliminate the guess work of where to put
your holes it also increases the structural integrity
of your equipment. This saves you money when
installing your structure and reduces the need
to replace parts down the road. Our greenhouse
packages come with the highest quality fabrics
manufactured by a company producing these
products for over 125 years. Our fans and shutters
come from the most respected manufacturer
in the agricultural industry in the USA. When
preparing for an investment such as the one you
are considering you will know that you’re making
the right choice when you invest in a Forever
Flowering product.
Customer Service and education are the backbone
of Forever Flowering. Guiding you into the
exact product you need to fit your budget and
accomplish your goal is what we do. Our team
of trained professionals are available to answer
your questions, give you tours, and put you in the
position to be successful in what you are doing.
We don’t stop once we’ve sold you your products.
We are available to make sure they arrive on time,
are what you ordered and that you have everything
you need to move forward. The true sign of
success at FFG are our customers that keep
coming back year after year. When considering
the purchase of your greenhouse, fabrics, heating,
lighting, nutrients or growing medium give us a call
or come in for a tour. We offer everything needed
for the beginning farmer all the way to multi-acre
commercial professionals. At FFG we are here to
help you succeed because your success is ours as
well. FFG, we have you covered!

LIGHT DEPRIVATION
Light deprivation, light dep, is the ability
to control the amount of hours of light, or
photoperiod, that your plant is receiving.
Typically done indoors under grow lights
by turning the lights on and off though
in a greenhouse it is done by blocking
the sunlight out of the structure with
blackout fabrics. This gives the grower
the ability to control the flowering cycle
of a plant when dealing with natural
lighting. Outdoor farmers usually get
one harvest at the end of the fall when
all ‘full sun’ plants come to fruition. A
farmer utilizing the technologies of light
dep can harvest when ever they want
and multiple times on the same piece
of land. By harvesting before the usual
fall crop a grower gains the ability to
bring product to market when supply is
lower and demand is higher creating
a more valuable end product. The
grower also creates more control over
changing seasonal weather patterns
by harvesting in more favorable times
of the year with regards to fall rains
and cold. Light deprivation can be
done either manually or automatically.
At FFG we were the first company to
produce a fully automated light dep
greenhouse with zero lumens of light.
Autoflowerer automated light deprivation
kit available for Northern Latitude, OG
and Rectractable series. We are also
the company that pioneered the manual
light dep industry by introducing the
original Breathable blackout fabric
and offering the highest quality non
breathable blackout fabrics that can
be used season after season. In 2012
FFG also brought the game changing
Breathable Wall into the market giving
growers the ability to provide full air flow
with no light penetration eliminating the
build up of excess heat and humidity
while crops were ‘blacked out’.

The Breathable Wall
Tested at less than 5% air restriction the Breathable Wall is the perfect addition
when full airflow and no light is required. When used in a greenhouse in conjunction with a fan the Breathable Wall will eliminate heat and humidity while
blackout tarps are closed. Utilize the Breathable Wall in an indoor grow room to
replace light deadening ducting that also decrease airflow. When used indoors
the Breathable Wall can be used to separate rooms into different photoperiods
without the need for individual ventilation systems. Simply install the Breathable
Wall in one room on your exhaust fan, separate the rooms with another unit of
the Breathable Wall and put one on your intake vent. The exhaust fan will pull the
air from one room into the other and the amount of equipment and controllers
needed to run multiple rooms is reduced. It’s rigid flush mount frame make for
easy installation while it’s available adaptor plate allows for a quick connection to
smell cleansing filters.
• Upgrade any light dep or indoor grow room design
• Available from 12”x12” to full wall size
• Can be used to cover intake shutters and exhaust fans or installed as a knee

Overhead
By Jonathan Valdman
Overhead. What is over the canopy of your plants matters
more than you might think. The light you provide affects
your plant in many ways. There are several artificial
lighting systems that market themselves as the closest
spectrum to the sun. We are what we eat. If we do not
eat a full spectrum of food we will be deficient in certain
aspects within our being. This holds true for plants. If a
plant is grown under lights that are anything less than
the COMPLETE spectrum of the sun we must consider
that they might be deficient in certain aspects of their
being. Plants, whether grown for food or medicine, will
only contain what they are given through their water,
microbes, food, air and light. What is not grown under the
full spectrum of the sun will be lacking at least one aspect
of its medicinal or nutritional constituents.
Though the sun is the ideal source of lighting for plants it
also has some aspects that can affect a plant negatively.
The invisible waves of ultraviolet radiation from the sun
have two major components, UV A and UV B. Amongst
other things, UV A makes Vitamin D absorption in our skin
possible though it is also what causes our skin to burn
from too much exposure. UV B is a shorter wave that can
be more harmful to our skin and to plants. Causing cancer
in humans it has similar detrimental effects to plants.
Over exposure to UV B can impair the growth of a plant
and can cause for lower yields, decreased immunity and
more susceptibility to insects and disease. Human impact
on the Ozone layer has depleted its ability to effectively
filter UV B radiation and this is impacting plants, people,
animals and marine life. One way to utilize the beneficial
aspects of the sun while avoiding the negative impacts
of its harmful rays is to grow under greenhouse materials
that filter out UV B, either partially or completely.
I have been approached many times by people
wanting to spend a lot of money to improve their
greenhouse environment. My advice is usually to
tell them that the most effective and cost efficient
thing you can do to upgrade your greenhouse is
make sure you have a high quality fabric covering
for your structure. Greenhouse fabrics differ from
greenhouse films in several ways. A fabric will have
visible ‘fabric strands’ comprising of its composition
while a film will look more like a plastic bag or a
plastic drop cloth. Fabrics are more durable and
are typically tear and puncture resistant allowing
them to last years longer than films. They won’t
yellow nor deteriorate quickly keeping them out of
the landfill longer. Films tend to create hot spots on
plants creating environments that are inconsistent
and more prone to disease and infestation. Look
for fabrics that are light diffused. The diffused
properties of a high quality fabric allow the light to be
more evenly spread throughout a greenhouse and
penetrate deeper into the canopy and under growth.
It will ‘soften’ the sun while still providing everything
the plant desires. Anti-fog/condensation coatings are
available on some products. A proper fabric will filter
out UV B allowing a plant to excel beyond the growth
of full-sun plants that do not receive this filtration.
Light diffusion and UV B filtration will increase
terpene production. Higher terpene production
translates into more material available for making
concentrates and oils of your plants as well as
giving them the shiny look of a plant that was grown
under lights. These factors also assist in keeping
soil temperatures down and lowering temperatures
on the surface of the leaf of the plant reducing your
need for water and nutrients and allowing for higher
ambient temperatures in the structure.
Overhead. The bottom line of your financial
success when growing for profit is greatly affected
by the amount it takes to produce a market-ready
product. Reducing your overhead is the easiest
way to increase your profit margins. Growing in
a greenhouse reduces your annual production
expenditures by at least 50%. This increase in
profitability is the main component that is going
to allow greenhouse and full sun grown crops
to dominate the market and greatly diminish the
possibility of a profitable indoor grow operation.
18
P
roperly setting up an indoor room costs quite a bit of
money. Most people are leasing or renting buildings that
they then have to build their grow room in, wire it and
ventilate it as well. When the lease is up all of these costs
are lost and a good majority of the building materials are
not able to be reused again. Once you factor in the cost
of all the lights and grow equipment the buildout winds
up being in the same ballpark as it would cost to set up a
greenhouse to grow the same amount of finished product
in. The huge difference between the two is that the indoor
room is fully dependent on the usage of lights and fans
and the cost of the electricity to run them. Electrical costs
can run between 25%-40% of your income depending
on how successful of a grow you managed to pull off. A
greenhouse can almost eliminate this cost for half of the
year while still dramatically lowering it for the remainder
of the year. Ridge and side vents allow for passive
cooling while the sun provides a free source of light. No
commercial product in the world is grown strictly indoors
unless there are laws prohibiting them from growing in
public. I believe over the next few years we will see indoor
cultivation become a methodology of growing strictly for
hobby growers while more commercial grows will be done
under the sun.
Even though full sun growing provides for the least
expensive square footage to grow it lacks certain
securities and conveniences that available while
growing in a greenhouse. Greenhouses will protect a
crop from rain or snow. It will keep it warm when it is
cold outside. As I mentioned earlier it will diffuse and
filter the properties of the sun that can be too intense
for the plant. It will keep your plant and soil cooler and
give an overall more desirable finished product. But
most importantly a greenhouse offers you the ability
to control your photoperiod, or light cycle, through the
techniques of Light Deprivation. Just as an indoor grower
controls their light cycle by turning their lights on and off
a greenhouse grower can control their light cycles by
cutting out the light of the sun in the vegetative seasons
19
of the year, for early flowering, and supplement
light in the seasons of the year that the sun
does not provide the desired amount of light, for
keeping plants in their vegetative cycle. Blackout
tarps, preferably breathable, allow one to cut out
the light of the sun in a greenhouse. Although
this can be done manually some greenhouse
companies have mastered the ability to set up
these systems automatically making it possible for
large scale grows as well as smaller style grows
that are consistent in their light cycles. Consistent
light cycles are important so as not to throw off
the natural growth patterns of your plant. By
controlling the cycles of light in your structure one
gains control of when their plants flower. Through
this use of the Light Deprivation technique a
grower gains the ability to control when they
harvest allowing them to meet higher market
demand times of the year. When combined with
supplemental lighting and heating the farmer can
create an environment for year round production
providing fresh crops whenever desired.
When budgeting for a new project I suggest that
you make your greenhouse one of the main
priorities. This is not a place to cut corners. Every
percent that a structure can increase your quality
and quantity of your production translates to
larger profit margins. A few bucks saved in the
purchase of your greenhouse can translate to
thousands lost down the line. Look for companies
that specialize in Light Deprivation. These days
companies are getting in the game because they
see the potential of capturing a market that has
profit potential. Ask your greenhouse company if
they understand your market and how long they
have been in that market. Ask them if they are
growers or just metal manufacturers unfamiliar
with the needs of, and how to grow, your plant.
Make sure that their structures have been tested
and that they have a track record for success in
the field that you are in. It’s less expensive to do
something right the first time than to fix something
that reduced your initial investment in the
beginning. A high quality greenhouse will not only
give you peace of mind it will be the container
in which you have the possibility to create an
ideal environment year round. It will reduce the
overhead that it takes to produce the crops you
desire when you desire them. What this creates
is the ability to focus fully on plant production
and health. This further supports your possibility of
success, forever.
The Year-Round
Greenhouse
by Eric Brandstad
You’ll need different things from your greenhouse in the hot summer months than you will in the depths
of winter.
The science of greenhouse growing is at an all-time high. Running a greenhouse in the summer and the
winter are two completely different things, however—what sets them apart?
Winter
Most
people recognize the advantages of a
greenhouse when it’s cold outside. A greenhouse
in the winter can play a crucial role in providing
gardeners with a means of extending their growing
season. During the day the sun warms the air,
plants and soil, while at night the greenhouse
provides protection from cold temperatures. In
order for this process to work the greenhouse must
be sealed, with only ventilation fans and intakes
as sources for fresh air. With supplemental lighting
and some heat, a ‘controlled’ environment is now
achievable.
A controlled environment is one in which outside
factors like temperature extremes, dry conditions
or long periods of darkness are not allowed to
adversely affect crops growing within it—all these
factors are set and controlled by the grower.
But the grower must create and maintain an
environment that nurtures plants completely—
just because the air temperature feels right
doesn’t mean the soil or water temperature is
actually ideal for the plants. Some growers have
found that adding lights and above-air heat has
actually resulted in up to 40 per cent decreases in
production—when supplemental lighting and root
zone heating are added to the mix, though, these
problems disappear. Ambient air temperature
should not be your main focus. Whether soil
or soilless gardening is your thing, root zone
temperature will play a huge factor in determining
your end result. Find a way to warm up the water
or get a radiant flooring system if you want to
increase crop production in your greenhouse in the
winter months.
Summer
The
sealed winter greenhouse should give way to
a more open and naturally ventilated greenhouse
during the hot summer months. Some simple ways
of naturally ventilating your greenhouse might be
taking the end wall coverings down or reattaching
the sidewall covers a few feet off the ground to
improve airflow. Let’s face it—we all know what its
like to be in a car with the windows rolled up on
a hot summer day. Lots of greenhouse growers
are also beginning to install diffused greenhouse
coverings.
Diffused
light has a positive influence on
production, especially during the summer. This
positive effect can be explained by a change in
light penetration into the crop and by an increased
capacity for photosynthesis. A crop like cucumber
can utilize diffused light better than direct light.
In addition, diffused roof material results in a
lower crop temperature—especially higher in the
crop canopy—which likely leads to more optimal
conditions for photosynthesis. Polyethylene/
polyweave covers are stronger and last longer
than normal film. Greenhouse film is usually
only four to six millimeters thick and very easy
to puncture—we see it in landfills far more often
than the polyweave material. The film is quite a bit
cheaper, but its lack of longevity and the problems
you’ll face using it in the summer are just not worth
the savings.
Most
people think glass is the ultimate greenhouse covering. I would say if you are in the Netherlands or somewhere that never experiences hot
summers, glass is great. Glass does not insulate,
however, so it can turn out to be an expensive way
to cover your greenhouse while unfortunately making it less efficient at the same time. It’s also twice
the cost of polyweaves and polycarbs. Glass in the
higher elevations of your greenhouse also tends to
magnify light, which in turn will create hot spots on
the leaf surfaces of your plants.
20
Evaporative greenhouse cooling systems are like
swamp coolers—water runs over a thick pad at one
end of the greenhouse while exhaust fans pull air
from the other end through the wall of cool water.
These tend to work well in moderate temperatures
and dry areas but they can cause humidity levels to
rise, which isn’t always desirable—and the electric bill
for cooling a greenhouse can be another issue.
As the greenhouse warms up, your plants begin
to transpire by bringing water from the roots to
the leaves, the natural way plants cool or protect
themselves. Once the water transfers to the leaves,
we begin to see the humidity increase and the plants
begin to sweat. At first this process can be protective
to the plant, but as the process continues we see
more problems begin to develop—the humidity
creates water droplets or condensation on the inside
of the greenhouse roof. Rain on the inside! These
droplets also act as little magnifying glasses all over
the roof, which creates hot spots and the potential for
mold.
Most companies outfit greenhouses for cold winter
use only—it never seems to occur to them you might
want to use it in the summertime. Sometimes just
switching out your roof covers to match the season
will do the trick—a polyweave cover in the summer
will protect you from rain and the sun’s intensity, while
switching this cover out to a double inflated poly film
could add to the efficiency of your greenhouse come
wintertime.
Add a power outage in the middle of the day—
rendering exhaust fans and circulation fans useless—
and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. A simple diffused
polyweave or diffused polycarb would have helped
this situation and is half the cost of glass. A twin-wall
polycarb is also a better insulator than glass, so it is
much more efficient. A one reason person like glass is
the idea they are getting more lumens. In some ways
that is true—however, the sun is so intense that in the
heat of the summer you will actually gain more light
by diffusing it rather than by allowing direct sunlight.
By diffusing the light you are taking a light particle and
breaking it into more light particles, which can then
actually penetrate deeper into the canopy and provide
more light to the lower branches.
Circulation fans are another very important part of
a greenhouse. Some growers find themselves near
the coast or in a foggy mountain area that gets higher
humidity in the morning or evening. Take Florida for
instance—they have pretty good humidity even on a
warm day and you can’t fire up a heater to dry out the
air. HAF fans are the key to drying out the air in these
situations since they actually get the air moving in a
specific direction, rather than just scattering it around
like oscillating fans do. The air will dry out faster and
more efficiently if moved in a specific direction. Some
greenhouse companies recommend fewer fans, but
there is a benefit to adding more circulation in this
department for dryer—fresher air.
The ideal greenhouse for summer can be anything
with a diffused cover and good ventilation—
preferably, something with roll-up side walls and
doors at both ends. That way you can avoid solar
gain, cool your plants and the soil (even if the air
temperatures are in the 100°F+ range) and keep the
air fresh. Stagnant air that is continuing to heat up is
what you are trying to avoid. Having a house with a
roof vent is also a very good option—roof vents allow
you to release the hot air that can gather in the peak
of your greenhouse, allowing you to keep the cooler
air that stays lower in the structure.
Adding a light deprivation or blackout capability
to a greenhouse can be another important factor
in increasing productivity. Normally when growing
outdoors or in a greenhouse you have to wait until fall
for the harvest season. With a blackout cover, though,
you can force flowering as early as July.
A light deprivation cover can be manually pulled
over the garden or greenhouse and as long as you
create the correct light cycle every day, you should be
able to start your harvest long before Mother Nature
intended. Internal and external systems for light
control are both options.
On a hot summer day a greenhouse with a roof
vent, roll-up sidewalls and doors on both ends will
allow you to open up, avoid solar gain and in turn
cool both the plants and the soil. This will result in
decreased plant stress and allow photosynthesis to
continue even when outdoor plants are suffering—
and you won’t even need to run the big exhaust fans
or evaporative cooling systems. In fact, some small
horizontal airflow (HAF) fans might be all you need
throughout the heat of the day.
21
For
internal systems I recommend a
breathable blackout material—this helps
avoid any condensation drips that can occur
after the curtain is pulled. Remember, the
fans and intakes will be restricted because of
light leaks. With that being said, it’s obvious
you are going to see a bit of a heat and
humidity spike since the sun is still out and
you are covering your crop.
For
external systems, I recommend a nonbreathable blackout material. If you have
a greenhouse cover and you try to pull the
breathable cover over its outside, it won’t
breathe and you’ll still have the same issues
with ventilation. The next step would be to
use underground ventilation since you can’t
go through the walls of the blackout and you
are cut off from the exhaust fans you might
use throughout the day. Going underground
would mean a bit more work when building
your greenhouse, though—and if you already
have a greenhouse, underground ventilation
might be a real pain to install.
There
is another solution. Forever
Flowering Greenhouses has unveiled a
new product called The Breathable Wall.
The Breathable Wall was created to allow
full airflow through your exhaust and intake
without any light getting through—the
designers basically created a baffle that
breaks up the light and not the air. Even
indoor growers can find a use for The
Breathable Wall for covering holes in walls
for vent and air conditioning systems.
conditions in your area as well. Greenhouses
can start out really basic and be upgraded
over time. If you can’t afford roll-up walls now,
add them next season. You might need to
keep your screw gun handy because you can
always reattach the cover to the ground when
it gets chilly—it might be a bit more work, but
in the long run making do will save you a few
bucks.
The problem with buying your greenhouse
from a big box dealer is that the catalogs
may show a nice picture of an ideal
greenhouse but you might not actually be
getting everything that’s in the picture—you
might get the frame and cover but not the
doors or the roll-up walls. Or if you do get the
roll-up walls you’ll have to get the polycarb
roof separately.
Your
greenhouse should not be the
cheapest thing on your list. Keep in mind
that most greenhouse companies sell parts
for you to do it yourself. Covers, locking
hardware and other miscellaneous parts
might be all you need to create a growing
area that suits your needs. A greenhouse
is your number one weapon in your own
personal war against everything that might
cause harm to your precious plants—make
sure you buy it from somebody who cares
about your passion for gardening!
When
shopping for a greenhouse you have
many options—price should not be the only
factor you consider. Always look for product
reviews, checking things like the thickness
of the frame and the type of framing—rolled
steel, tubular or square. Make sure the
greenhouse can handle the wind and snow
