The speed breeding chamber is a custom-engineered, climate-controlled plant growth system designed to enable rapid generation advancement through precise environmental regulation. The unit contains two independent growth compartments, each providing an internal cultivation area of 60 × 120 × 100 cm (L × W × H). Each chamber is equipped with a 400-W all-in-one horticultural LED lighting system, and environmental parameters can be independently modulated via an integrated touch-screen control interface. The system allows the real-time adjustment of atmospheric CO₂ concentration (350–1200 ppm) using dedicated CO₂ injection and monitoring sensors. A wide range of growth conditions can be imposed to optimize developmental rates, including:
Temperature: 20–50 °C
Relative Humidity: 40–85%
Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD): 0–1000 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹ at 45 cm canopy height
Light Spectrum: fully programmable
Photoperiod and light intensity: continuously adjustable
The combined control of thermal, photic, and atmospheric inputs enables accelerated vegetative growth and the induction of early reproductive development in diverse plant species, making the system highly suitable for speed breeding, phenotyping, and controlled-environment experimentation.
