Episode Transcription: Hi everybody, My name is Jeff Baylis and today I want to talk to you about how to balance loads across your vertical farm. Traditionally, vertical farms run all the way from immature plants at one end all the way to mature plants at the other end, both ends requiring quite different HVAC loads.   So there's three main ways we've seen this done. - The first being is to mix both immature and mature plants back and forth so that you have a balanced load across your entire room. Operationally, this can prove very challenging. - Second option is you actually tie your return of multiple air handlers together. This allows you to both share some of the load from both the immature and the mature side and balance that load across your air handlers. - Lastly, we can supply the air through the more mature leafy greens and return through the immature leafy greens. This is going to allow some of that humidity to be drawn through those plants that aren't going to transpire as much and are more likely to be overcooled. Each farm is very unique, so if you have any questions, please reach out, we're happy to have a conversation. Thanks for watching.   [![Learn more about AGronomic IQ](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6898905/56fdd842-c7b3-465c-becc-f74e0485b39f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6898905/56fdd842-c7b3-465c-becc-f74e0485b39f) --- Do you have a question or subject you'd like us to cover?
