In this case study, we visited Black Stump Berry Farm in New Zealand to hear how grower Nicky Kingsbeer transformed her strawberry operation by switching from open-field agriculture to a Bluelab-powered hydroponic system.

With labor challenges intensified by the pandemic, Nicky needed a smarter, more sustainable way to grow. CEA powered by Bluelab’s precision tools, delivered:

✅ 8× increase in productivity
✅ 50% boost in crop yield
✅ Consistent, predictable harvests
✅ Full visibility and control 24/7

From the Bluelab Pro Controller to the Combo Meter Plus and Pulse Meter, Nicky’s team now grows with confidence, knowing their plants are monitored and optimized around the clock.

And with only a third of the farm converted at the time of our visit, the future is looking even brighter. 🌱

Engineered in NZ. Trusted by NZ growers. Proven results.
