Technology

The environment is the program.

We steer how a plant makes its molecules with light, climate and nutrition. The genetics stay the same.

The inputs

A seed. Light. Climate.
Nutrition. A protocol.

In a controlled room, every input is set and measured. Change the recipe, and the plant changes how much of each molecule it makes. Keep the recipe, and it makes them again.

01

A seed

The genetics stay the same. We never modify the plant.

02

Light

Intensity, spectrum and day length, set and measured.

03

Climate

Temperature and humidity, held to the protocol.

04

Nutrition

A nutrient recipe that steers how the plant makes its molecules.

05

A protocol

The recipe, validated analytically and repeated every week.

What you can specify

Three things, set with you.

01

Custom botanicals

Species and target compounds chosen with you. A protocol developed for your specification, under exclusivity.

02

Higher metabolite content

Light, climate and nutrition steer the plant toward the molecules you need.

03

Consistent quality

Same protocol, same environment. Every batch is measured against the specification before release.

MRP-1™

Every program makes the next one faster.

Protocols are developed with MRP-1™, our proprietary model of how a plant’s metabolism responds to light, climate and nutrition. Each cycle tests the most promising scenarios first. You receive its output: a validated protocol.

No pesticides. No soil. No genetic modification.

Inside MRP-1™

Measure. Model. Rank. Learn.

01

Measure

Every room logs light, climate and nutrition. Every batch is analysed for its metabolite profile by chromatography (HPLC, GC-MS).

02

Model

MRP-1™ links growing conditions to the molecules the plant makes, species by species.

03

Rank

Before we grow, it ranks growing scenarios by the expected amount of your target compound per square metre. The most promising are tested first.

04

Learn

Each new batch feeds the model, so every program starts closer to the target than the last.

Objective

More target compound per m²

Within your specification, batch after batch.

What you receive

A validated growing protocol

Not software: a recipe of light, climate and nutrition, proven analytically.

Ownership

MRP-1™ stays with Horssol

The protocol developed for your specification stays exclusive to you.

How we work

One site, from seed to analysed batch.

01

Traceability

One site, one protocol, one batch record, from seed lot to shipment.

02

Supply security

Harvests all year, planned with you, independent of season and weather.

03

Batch consistency

Each batch is measured against the agreed specification before release.

04

Grown without pesticides

A closed, clean environment removes the need for crop protection treatments.

05

Resource efficiency

Closed-loop irrigation and no arable land used.

06

Made in France

Grown and analysed in Lille, with a team trained in controlled environment agriculture.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How can the environment change what a plant produces?

Plants adjust how much of each molecule they make in response to light, climate and nutrition. In a controlled room every input is set and measured, so a recipe that steers a target compound can be repeated.

Which inputs are controlled?

Light, climate and nutrition. The seed, and therefore the genetics, stays the same.

What is MRP-1™?

MRP-1™ is Horssol's proprietary model of how a plant's metabolism responds to light, climate and nutrition. It ranks growing scenarios so that the most promising ones are tested first.

What does a client receive at the end of development?

A validated growing protocol (SOP) and reproducibility data, followed by regular supply against the agreed specification.

Horssol, from the French hors-sol: grown off the soil.
