Methods of crossbreeding dikaryotic fungus organisms to yield a hybrid fungus organism with a novel or enhanced phytochemical. The methods include providing a first growth medium; placing a first dikaryotic fungus organism with a first phytochemical on the first growth medium; placing a second dikaryotic fungus organism with a second phytochemical on the first growth medium adjacent to the first dikaryotic fungus organism; allowing the first dikaryotic fungus organism to replicate and to form a first colony on the first growth medium; allowing the second dikaryotic fungus organism to replicate and to form a second colony on the first growth medium; and allowing the first colony and the second colony to expand until they intersect along a clamp line where the first colony and the second colony exchange genetic material between them to yield a hybrid fungus organism with a novel or enhanced phytochemical.

A hydroponic plant production apparatus comprising: a hollow grow tube with a slot formed in the front face of the grow tube, and a matrix media insert composed of two halves, where the media is insertable into the grow tube, allowing plants to be inserted and grown between the two halves of the matrix media insert in the grow tube. Methods for use of a hollow grow tube with a slot formed in the front face of the grow tube, and a matrix media insert composed of two halves, where the media is insertable into the grow tube, allowing plants to be inserted and grown between the two halves of the matrix media insert in the grow tube.

A modular hydroponic tower array fixture system for the growth of organisms such as plants and fungi on arrays of hydroponic towers, allowing for the insertion and removal of individual towers from the array, is provided. Methods for the production of organisms such as plants and fungi using a modular hydroponic tower array fixture system are also provided herein.

An apparatus for facilitating cultivation of plants. The apparatus comprises a top enclosure, a bottom enclosure, a vertical column, a cover, a tray, sensors, environmental actuators, a nutrition container, and a processing device. Further, the top enclosure houses a first component. Further, the bottom enclosure houses a second component. Further, the vertical column is interspersed between the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure is forming an interior space therebetween. Further, the cover is interspersed between the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure, encloses the interior space and allows light to enter from a surrounding of the apparatus into the interior space. Further, the tray holds a plant. Further, the sensors generate sensor data representing variables. Further, the environmental actuators control environmental variables. Further, the nutrition container contains a nutritional medium. Further, the processing device controls the environmental actuators based on the sensor data.

Modular plant cultivation and storage systems are disclosed herein. Such systems may enable individuals to grow, or obtain managed growth of, various plants, such as flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables, herbs, fungi, medicinal plants (e.g., marijuana, where legally permitted), etc. The modular plant cultivation and storage system may be a professionally equipped and staffed cultivation center where individuals can bring seeds and/or seedlings to grow and be serviced, monitored, and stored for a fee. Such modular plant cultivation and storage systems provide a safe, effective method to produce a high quality, high quantity plant products with additional services that can test and produce other products from the initial crop.

The invention relates to a cultivation arrangement. A first and a second rack are arranged adjacent and aligned with each other, providing a working space therebetween. Each rack comprises support structures arranged at support heights for supporting cultivation packages at a plurality of heights. The support heights are aligned with each other. The support structures comprises one or more guiding members and the arrangement comprises moving means arranged for moving packages from the first to the second rack or back, via the working space. Cultivation packages can be supported such that at most a single package is supported at each of the aligned support heights. This enables the packages to be alternatingly supported in either the first or the second rack across the support heights. The arrangement further includes an operator platform contiguous to the working space which is moveable in a vertical direction to enable working at different heights.
