Inner
UbiGro® greenhouse film, including poly film greenhouse and UV film for greenhouse, converts UV and blue light to the orange and red portions of the spectrum. Crops take advantage of enhanced photosynthetic efficiency from a red-shifted spectrum to produce more energy that plants use for fruit and flower production. This ultimately leads to improved crop yields and additional revenue in your greenhouse.
UbiGro excels in outdoor greenhouses, optimizing the sunlight spectrum for enhanced efficiency. Its unique feature of diffusing light uniformly across the canopy boosts penetration and full-canopy production. Imagine the sunrise activating UbiGro, illuminating your outdoor greenhouse with greenhouse plastic film for optimal growth. This professional and friendly solution also extends its impact to enhance greenhouse films, ensuring an overall effective and efficient cultivation experience. Experience the brilliance of UbiGro – where sunlight perfection meets greenhouse excellence.
A secondary benefit of UbiGro is the light diffusion it applies to the incoming sunlight, spreading light evenly throughout the canopy, leading to better light penetration and full-canopy production. From the moment the sun rises above the horizon, UbiGro is activated, illuminating your greenhouse by optimizing the sunlight spectrum.
UbiGro Inner-600 Greenhouse Film (Existing film product)
- Highest R:FR (red to far-red ratio) and B:R (blue to red ratio)
- Best for higher light-level conditions and crops that require a large amount of natural sunlight
- Best for vegetative crop types and crops where overall plant growth is important
UbiGro Inner-625 Greenhouse Film (New film product)
● Mid R:FR (red to far-red ratio) and B:R (blue to red ratio)
● Suitable for all light-level conditions including areas with high and low levels of sunlight
● Suitable for nearly all crop types
● Centered on the peak of the McCree curve, most efficient for boosting faster growth, larger leaves and more fruit sets
UbiGro Inner-650 Greenhouse Film (New film product)
- Lowest R:FR (red to far-red ratio) and B:R (blue to red ratio)
- Best for crops that require a moderate amount of natural sunlight
- Emission wavelengths similar to that of red LEDs
- Best for increasing fruit sets and fruit size in crops like cannabis, strawberries, floriculture, and tomatoes

Frequently Asked Questions
UbiGro is a new greenhouse film product that is changing the way cultivators think about sunlight and sustainable growth and controlled environment agriculture. With every new product comes many questions.
Below you will find some of the most frequently asked questions about UbiGro, how it works, how long, etc. If your question isn’t answered below, you can ask our experts!
For cannabis growers that plan to use the film over plants in the vegetative and flowering stages, we
recommend the 625 nm film. If you are in a low-light environment (less than 35 mol/day), opt for the
600 nm film for better ePAR transmission.
For cannabis growers that plan to use the film over plants primarily in the flowering stage, we
recommend the 650 nm film to promote flowering. If you are in a low-light environment (less than 35
mol/day), opt for the 625 nm film for better ePAR transmission.
The orange 600 nm film will have the most blue content, better for veg. The red 650 nm film will have the reddest and least blue content, better for flowering.
No, the color is fixed in the UbiGro Inner film that is purchased.
No, the optical performance will stay intact for 4+ years in the greenhouse for all colors.
