A carrier for growing crops, such as lettuce, is disclosed. The carrier floats on water in a pond, and includes at least one floating beam and a carrier connectable to the floating beam, and a number of growth locations for the crops where holders for the crops or roots of the crops extend into the water.

A propagation tray for growing a plurality of plug plants in bounded transplantable growing media has two spaced apart aperture plates. The plug plants are held loosely in the apertures in a top plate while retained at the apertures in the bottom plate over air cells associated with and under the apertures in the bottom plate. The air cells provide a volume into which roots from the plug plant may grow, and the air cells have at least one port for drainage and/or ventilation and toward which roots are guided to be air pruned. The propagation tray maximizes air flow around the plug for air pruning of roots, while minimizing contact of the plug with the structures on the tray to reduce the formation of root defects.

The present invention is designed to regrow a plurality of different vegetables and herbs without the need of artificial light or soil. The invention including a container with side spouts which allow for both easy removal and addition of water. A plurality of different lids are available for being placed on top of the container, each of the lids containing a plurality of drop-in cup like receptacles for accommodating different types of plants. Each of the lids also containing side lips designed to fit over sidewalls of the container for securing the lid on the container. The invention being designed and scaled to fit most window sills and also to work well as a garden starter.

A method to grow cannabis is described, wherein the method includes providing and treating a source of water, mixing the water with an additive to form a liquid mixture, transferring the liquid mixture to a plurality of cannabis plants grown in a growing medium including a mycorrhiza fungus, and growing the cannabis using a humidity control method, then harvesting the cannabis plants. Trimming and grinding the cannabis along with use of environmental control methods including temperature, humidity, lighting schedules, and carbon dioxide concentrations are also described.

A method is proposed for remotely growing plants in a planting zone that is divided into multiple planting areas. Via an electronic device that communicates with a remote automated planting sub-system in the planting zone, a user may select desired planting area(s) and desired type(s) of plant precursors on the electronic device, and remotely cause the remote automated planting sub-system to plant the selected type(s) of plant precursors into the selected planting area(s).

A smart home gardening cabinet is disclosed that includes a plurality of plant growing drawers each having a vertical lift door and an automatic precision weather system to grow a specific type of plants, each automatic precision weather system includes an array of lights for photosynthesis, an air circulation system, and a water circulation system that provides nutrient water to the specific plants in each plant growing drawer; each plant growing drawers having a plant growing tray that includes an array of growing holes filled with a sponge materials to absorb and retain nutrients which are misted to the roots of the plants, excess nutrient water being returned to the water circulation system to save water.

The present disclosure relates to different techniques of controlling an agricultural system, as for example a controlled agricultural system, an agricultural light fixture and a method for agricultural management.

Furthermore, the disclosure relates to an agricultural system, which comprises a plurality of processing lines for growing plants of a given plant type, wherein a first processing line in the plurality of processing lines is configured to move a first plurality of plants through the agricultural system along a route; and apply a first growth condition to the first plurality of plants to satisfy a first active agent parameter for the first plurality of plants.

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 method for cultivating a plant, especially an orchid, is provided. The method involces a seedling at least partly surrounded by a substrate being introduced into a plant pot, the plant pot being introduced into one of multiple cells of a tray and the plant pot being immobilized in the cell, wherein the plant pot is introduced into the cell of the tray until a cell wall which is impenetrable for roots and especially unbreached towers above the plant pot.

A new or improved modular plant display and storage system that reduces the risks of plants tipping over and of spillage of plant and soil (or other growing medium) out the top of the pot, as well as the risk of water (and soil/growing medium) seepage and mess from the bottom of the pot. The invention can house potted plants without the need to re-pot or transplant the plants into growing medium that sits within the modular structure.
