Founded in 2016, Active Grow develops spectrum-driven LED lighting systems engineered for controlled environment agriculture. Our focus is simple: measurable plant performance, long-term durability, and sustainable design.

We serve commercial growers, research institutions, universities, and dedicated cultivators who require consistency, data transparency, and systems that perform year after year.

Built on Science and Experience

Before launching Active Grow, our founder, Taylor Schaberg, worked extensively in LED manufacturing and commercial indoor farming in Seattle. Through hands-on work in controlled environments, he saw how precise spectrum design directly impacts plant morphology, yield, and overall quality.

During that same period, plant-based medicine played a meaningful role in his family during his mother’s battle with breast cancer. That experience reinforced a conviction that still defines the company today:

When plants are grown for food, medicine, or research, quality matters.

Active Grow was built to support growers who take that responsibility seriously.

A Direct Partner to Growers

Unlike mass-market garden brands, Active Grow operates at the intersection of plant science and practical application.

We work directly with growers, from greenhouse operators to research labs, to design lighting systems tailored to their specific crops, environments, and production goals. No one-size-fits-all solutions. No inflated claims. Just spectrum engineering grounded in real-world performance.

Our products are trusted by commercial cultivation facilities, major universities, and government research programs because we prioritize:

• Transparent performance data

• Research-informed spectrum development

• Commercial-grade construction

• Sustainable, retrofit-friendly designs

• Direct, hands-on support

A Decade of Controlled Environment Focus

For nearly ten years, Active Grow has remained focused on advancing LED technology specifically for indoor and greenhouse production. We do not chase trends. We refine spectrum, improve efficiency, and support growers through measurable results.

When lighting is engineered correctly, plants respond predictably and consistently. That principle drives every product we build.

Active Grow exists to help growers produce better plants, with precision, accountability, and purpose.
