PLANT PROCESSING SYSTEMS

A plant processing system includes a mobile cart with a support rail, a rack with a rack rail, and a hanger configured to support one or more plants therefrom. The hanger is hangable from either the support rail or the rack rail. The hanger includes a first end having a hook deigned to engage either the support rail or the rack rail. A second end of the hanger includes a tab having a magnet that engages either the support rail or the rack rail to limit movement of the second end of the hanger. A series of crossbars can be attached to the hanger at select locations along the length of the hanger. Each crossbar is configured to support plants or other items along the length of the hanger.

Cannabis Growing Apparatus
20230225263 · 2023-07-20 ·

An improved apparatus for growing cannabis indoors with an improved vertical lighting system, raised horizontally disposed planters and vertical plant training wires. The cannabis plants are grown in horizontally disposed planters that are installed at a set raised height for easy access. A series of horizontally strung plant training wires are installed vertically above each row of plants. The lighting system is mounted to a powered vertical hanging system such that it can easily be raised and lowered into the space between the rows of plants

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the planter rows are mounted on bearings such that they can be adjusted along the horizontal (x) axis. This allows for denser plant arrangement while still allowing for easy access between rows for plant training and maintenance.

SCALABLE AND RE-CONFIGURABLE SYSTEM FOR INDOOR GROWING
20220408659 · 2022-12-29 ·

The present invention is a scalable and re-configurable system for indoor growing. The scalable and re-configurable system for indoor growing is comprised of a plurality of growing sleds, in which each growing sled has a plurality of plant stations. Plants are grown in receptacles on each plant station. The plant station is rotated by a drive system. Each plant station provides irrigation. Each plant station has a forced frame connected to the top of a plant support assembly. A forced frame is used to confine each plant to a known foot-print. This is necessary in indoor growing in order to make the production uniform and efficient.
