The Last Days of One of Texas' Largest Indoor Farms

What happens when decades of farming experience collide with rapidly changing regulations? In this episode, we visit Caprock Family Farms in Lubbock, Texas, during one of the most pivotal moments in the company's history. Once one of the state's largest indoor farming operations, the facility is being dismantled after years of investment, innovation, and hard work. Join us as Brett, Zach, Kyle, and Anne Gogger share the story behind their family's journey—from traditional Texas agriculture to building a state-of-the-art controlled-environment farm. Along the way, industry experts from Rhythm and Organitek discuss: • Scaling irrigation and fertigation systems • Designing efficient environmental controls • Common mistakes when expanding indoor facilities • Crop health and integrated pest management strategies • Automation and labor efficiency • Lessons learned from building a commercial operation from scratch More than a facility tour, this episode is about resilience, entrepreneurship, and the determination of multi-generational farmers adapting to an evolving agricultural landscape. Whether you're interested in commercial farming, greenhouse technology, controlled-environment agriculture, irrigation design, automation, or family farming, this episode offers valuable insights from people who have lived it.

Far-Red vs UV Light: Plant Growth Myths Busted

Grow World

This video is intended for scientific and educational discussion about plant photobiology, controlled-environment agriculture, and lighting technology. It does not promote or instruct on the cultivation of any regulated crops and focuses strictly on plant science principles applicable to a wide range of species. At MJBizCon, we sat down with a university photobiology researcher and a commercial lighting manufacturer to break down one of the most debated topics in controlled-environment growing: Far-Red vs UV light. What’s real science, what’s marketing noise, and why timing matters more than picking sides? In this conversation, we cover: How plants actually respond to far-red radiation - Why UV light acts as a controlled stress signal - The difference between growth steering and quality finishing - Why “one perfect spectrum” doesn’t exist - How light needs change across plant life stages - Why green light isn’t useless (and why it’s misunderstood) - What happens when intensity and spectrum are mismatched - How researchers and manufacturers collaborate to build better lighting systems - Why greenhouse lighting is different from indoor lighting - The future of multi-channel spectrum control This episode connects lab research, real production experience, and lighting engineering — giving growers a framework to think in light categories and plant responses, not hype claims. If you work with high-value crops in indoor or greenhouse systems, this is a masterclass in understanding how spectrum becomes a steering tool. 00:15 Segment Introduction at MJBizCon 00:30 Meet the Plant Scientist & Lighting Manufacturer 01:15 From Commercial LEDs to Agricultural Systems 02:32 Owning Manufacturing & Why Quality Control Matters 03:29 Early Industry Problems: Failure Rates & Inconsistent Performance 04:11 How the Research Partnership Started 05:37 Current University Light Spectrum Research 05:54 What Far-Red Does to Cell Expansion 06:23 Growth vs Nutritional/Quality Compounds 07:05 Why Finishing Spectrum Matters 08:03 Why There Is No “Perfect Spectrum” 09:16 Light Intensity Limits Indoors vs Outdoors 10:06 The Industry Debate: UV vs Far-Red 10:45 How Plants Detect UV Radiation 11:13 Far-Red and the Shade Avoidance Response 11:54 The Big Question: What About Green Light? 12:38 Why White LEDs Already Contain Green 13:23 Why Green Diodes Are Inefficient to Manufacture 14:23 Does Far-Red Increase Color Compounds? 15:14 New Spectral Crop Steering Framework (5 Categories) 16:29 Why Growers Need Lighting Experts 17:27 Practical vs Academic Knowledge Gap 18:20 When Too Much Far-Red Causes Problems 19:35 How Should “Red Percentage” Really Be Measured? 20:05 Measuring What the Plant Actually Absorbs 21:03 Using UV at Different Growth Phases 21:18 Know Your Production Target 21:52 Audience Q: UV Stress Responses 22:09 Thicker Cuticles & Protective Responses 23:50 Audience Q: Lighting for Tissue Culture 25:13 How Close Are We to Standardized Light Schedules? 26:34 Research Limits: Time, Funding, Replication 29:21 What Makes a Lighting Team Effective 31:57 Custom Research Fixtures for Universities 32:45 Why Greenhouse Spectrum Is a Different Challenge 34:22 Open-Source Controls & No Subscription Model 35:02 Closing Thoughts & Wrap-Up
