The application provides a method for improving nutrient supply of female floral branches of Populus deltoides artificial hybridization. According to the technical links of the hybridization operation, the method separately integrates and improves the cultivation of female floral branch nutrient-supply seedlings (i.e., grafting rootstocks of floral branches), the pre-management of female floral branch nutrient-supply seedlings, the hydroponic management of floral branches, the Marching between female floral branches and rootstocks, the management of female floral branch nutrient-supply seedlings and the hydroponic management of female floral branches, so the goal of improving the seed-setting rate and quality of poplar hybrid seeds which came from the floral branches cultured in water has been achieved. Compared with the conventional method, the method of the invention not only can realize good seed quality, but also improve the seed-setting rate, and has a remarkable effect when applied to Populus deltoides artificial hybridization.

A method for optimizing growth of microgreens is provided. The method includes planting individual microgreens within growing racks supported on vertically spaced shelves or on a common height on a single horizontal shelf. An ideal distance is calculated for the spacing of the vertical shelves when using fixed wattage grow lights, and an ideal wattage is calculated for one or more grow lights, which may be LEDs. Adjustable wattage grow lights may be utilized for a common height setup. An ideal wavelength range is also applied, for enhancing desired colors in the final product. The microgreen seeds are planted in an organic nutrient solution derived from ocean water. A natural fungicide including ingredients such as molasses and lactic acid is applied, which allows room temperature to be raised to a calculated level, allowing for increased growth rates and yield without development of unwanted fungi.

A cultivation enclosure for growing crops includes a chamber. The chamber includes a base and a lid configured to cover the base. The chamber is connected to a rack. The rack includes one or more inlets and one or more outlets. The rack is configured to dispense water and minerals into the chamber through the one or more inlets or discharge water from the chamber through the one or more outlets.

A grow system. The system includes growing plants in grow modules that are individually moveable. The plants grow in trays where roots never touch the water supply. The plumbing to the grow modules is a low flow, one way flow continual drip system that is hands free. A mobile robot can navigate around a growspace, bring any grow module from one location to another, and perform growspace operations. The growspace is a control space with data source zones and a control space manager. The control space manager can collect data and control different variables across different data source zones in order to determine optimal policies and conditions for data source growth and generation.
