A system for the fertigation of a plant vessel and method of use for the same is disclosed. The system comprises a grow module containing a plurality of growing trays additionally containing plants, and/or shoots of plants in various stages of development. The growing trays are individually extracted from the grow module via a tray movement system and tray elevator controlled by a control system and precisely placed in a fertigation system, wherein they are aligned over and lowered onto an at least one nozzle which penetrate the plant vessels containing the plants and fertigate them with a combination of water, nutrients, and/or pressurized air. The individual growing tray is then replaced in the grow module and the process is repeated for all growing trays and plant vessels in the grow module.

A plant propagation system is provided that includes a holder for holding at least two plants in relative spaced apart relation to enable a predetermined operation (such as, for example, a cutting operation) to be performed on each of the plants within the holder during a single pass.

A bioreactor includes a bioreactor container, and a root stand. The container has a base and one or more sidewalls connected to the base, the base and sidewalls together defining an interior bioreactor volume. The root stand is supported by the container within the bioreactor volume, and includes a first support comb and a second support comb, each support comb having a plurality of spaced apart teeth. The teeth of the first support comb extend in length in a first direction and the teeth of the second support comb extend in length in a second direction different from the first direction. The first support comb overlaying the second support comb when the root stand is supported in the container, and the first support comb being separable from the second support comb when the root stand is removed from the container. A gravity well and atmosphere control container are also disclosed.

Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce cannabis for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. A FSS system may comprise modules including liquid distribution and plant growing. A FSS may be configured to be constructed out of a plurality of containerized modules.

A cloner may include a reservoir to hold a liquid, a lid with apertures to hold plant cuttings, stems, or roots, and a manifold mountable at or near a water line of the reservoir. One end of the lid may include a fan housing, and an opposite end may include ventilation holes. The reservoir may have a pump housing to hold a pump so that the pump does not become submerged in water, mitigating or preventing excess heat inside the cloner.

There is provided by the present invention planting containers and associated trays for the production, distribution and display of plants where the planting containers have a channel in the base for engaging with a production or display tray for positioning plant pots in a desired orientation. In one embodiment, the plant container is a flower pot which comprises an upper part; a middle part connected at one end to the upper part; and a bottom part connected to an opposite end of the middle part; the bottom part having a channel extending from one side of the bottom part to the other side of the bottom part; said channel having an apex perpendicular to an axis of the pot, first and second sides, and a plurality of slots at the apex for engaging with a rail system on the tray having teeth.

A planting cup and a planting device are provided. The planting cup is a hollow cup body. The planting cup has a side portion and a bottom portion each formed with a plurality of through holes. A top portion of the planting cup is formed with a first wing extending laterally outwardly. The side portion is formed with a second wing extending laterally outwardly. The first wing is spaced from the second wing by a distance. When the planting cup is disposed on a planting tray to form the planting device, the second wing leans against the planting tray. The first wing is adapted for grasping by a mechanical device or by manpower, such that the planting cup can be removed conveniently.

A receptacle for a seed, seedling, or plant may include an opaque frame within which one or more cells is placed. Each cell has a sidewall that is transparent below the soil surface to enable growers to observe soil moisture level and progression of root growth. The opaque frame prevents light from entering the transparent sidewall of each cell, which would otherwise retard growth of seed, seedling, or plant. An optional tray handle allows growers to lift the cell(s) from the container or watering tray when checking soil moisture level and root growth.

A plant cultivation apparatus and system including a reservoir and central shaft containing a first and second end, wherein the first end of the central shaft terminates in the central chamber of the reservoir. One or more trays are positioned along the central shaft with variable distances between each tray. The plant cultivation apparatus and system also includes an outer housing member having a plurality of plant-receiving apertures. The outer housing member defines a chamber and has a bottom edge. The bottom edge defines a respective opening, which is configured to contact a reservoir opening. The hydroponic apparatus and system may further include a lighting system mounted above the outer housing member, the lighting system illuminating plants inserted into the plant-receiving apertures to enable the associated plants to photosynthesize in environments exposed to low levels of sunlight.

The present invention provides a system for changing an interval between plants without performing thinning work or transplanting work of plants. The nutrient solution tray is configured to include: a receptacle part for housing a plant, a nutrient solution-inflow area for allowing inflow of water or nutrient solution, and a nutrient solution-outflow area having at least one nutrient solution-outflow port for allowing the water or the nutrient solution to flow out. At least the receptacle part, the nutrient solution-inflow area, and the nutrient solution-outflow area form a bottom surface of the nutrient solution tray. The nutrient solution tray includes a first installation surface pair comprising a first installation surface and a second installation surface. The first installation surface is formed in a side of the nutrient solution-inflow area in a longer side direction of the nutrient solution tray. The second installation surface is formed in a side of the nutrient solution-outflow area in the longer side direction of the nutrient solution tray. The first installation surface is farther away from the bottom surface than the second installation surface.
