A method for mass indoor production of vegetation, comprising the steps of:
- maintaining a train in a stationary position on a rail system inside an indoor enclosure during a growing period of the vegetation, wherein the train comprises a plurality of plant-pots interconnected by a plurality of push-pull bars, and wherein each of the plant-pots has at least one plant,
- moving the train of the plant-pots on the rail system in either direction by pushing or pulling the plurality of push-pull bars,
- pulling the plurality of plant-pots out of the indoor enclosure during a time of harvesting the plant,
- sequentially pulling the plurality of plant-pots out of the indoor enclosure by moving the plant-pots via the train of the plant-pots moving contemporaneously,
- moving the plurality of plant-pots to a harvesting station after pulling the plant-pots out of the indoor enclosure,
- knocking off at least one agricultural product from the plant during harvesting via at least one set of rotating sticks, wherein a combination of a number of the sets of rotating sticks and a rotational speed of the sets of sticks provides an optimum productivity for separating the agricultural product from at least one branch of the plant whilst minimizing damage of the agricultural product.
