Methods to produce cannabis plants are described, the methods include growing the cannabis plants in a growing medium within an interior of an enclosure by providing a common reservoir including water, and transferring the water from the common reservoir to the cannabis plants within the interior of the enclosure, the water within the common reservoir includes, fish, treated water, evaporator condensate, and a microorganism. Methods to asexually clone, harvest, trim, grind, and heat the cannabis plants are also described.

A Tray and Trellis System includes vertical posts or legs, longitudinal members, and cross members. Combs include tines fixed at one end to longitudinal members on one side, and releasably engaged at their other end to other longitudinal members on the other side. Further combs include tines fixed to a cross member at one end, and releasably engaged to another cross member at the other end. There may be intermediate cross members having tines fixed to them and other tines releasably engaged to them. Fixation of the tines may be by clips, rings, welding, bonding, fastening, or by molding as a single piece. The releasably engaged ends of the tines may be engaged with snap-fit slot features in the longitudinal members, the cross members, or the clips or rings, or may be engaged with open grommets inserted into openings in the longitudinal members or cross members.

Automated terrariums and methods of using the terrariums are disclosed. The automated terrarium comprises a housing having a base and a lid, wherein the lid is supported by at least two support pillars. The terrarium also comprises at least two transparent side panels supported by the at least two support pillars and positioned between the base and the lid, an irrigation system within the base, a lighting system within the lid, and a control unit. The control unit is adapted to monitor growth of the plant and adjust the irrigation system, heating system, airflow system, and/or lighting system.

A system can be installed in a cabinet for growing plants. The system has a divider. The divider hermetically separates a plant space of the cabinet from a control space of the cabinet. The divider has a plant side, a control side, and electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) emitters, mounted on the plant side of the divider. The EMR emitters are adapted to EMR frequencies primarily at or near visible light. There is a filtered vent in the divider. The filtered vent has an air filter, a fan for pulling air through the filtered vent, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the fan and the EMR emitters.

The invention relates to an easy to use system that provides a shipping container farm which utilizes multiple NFT grow pods, a propagation pod and a filtration and fertigation (PFF) pod that enables a user to grow 4,400-12,000 plants per month per NFT pod and provides the infrastructure to raise the plants from seed to harvest. The system also provides an integrated system which provides nutrients, water, light and controlled atmosphere to raise the crops as well as an integrated cold storage pod and retail store pod.

The agricultural greenhouse of the invention and the plant cultivation method using the same can cultivate plants economically and efficiently with less energy per crop yield, as it is provided with a CO.sub.2 supply means, a heat-ray shielding means, and a dehumidification and cooling means, the heat-ray shielding means is formed of using a heat-ray reflecting film, and plural through holes are formed in the heat-ray shielding means. The heat-ray reflecting film structure can cultivate plants by the agricultural greenhouse utilizing sunlight economically and efficiently as it has a structure that narrow band-shaped tapes obtained by cutting a multi-layer laminated film made by laminating at least two kinds of resin layers with different refractive indices alternately and having an average transmittance at 80% or more for visible light and an average reflectance at 70% or more for heat-ray is woven or knitted as a warp or a weft.

Disclosed is a climate control system for use with an indoor plant growing environment. The system includes an air supply system and a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system utilizes a reheat coil in parallel with a condenser coil. In the airflow path of the air supply system the reheat coil is positioned downstream of the cooling coil. The method of operating the climate control system relies upon the input of set point values for enthalpy, dry bulb temperature and dew points into a controller. The controller receives data from sensors within the plant growing environment and uses this data to manage the operation of a three-way valve, supply fan speed, and compressor speed in order to maintain the indoor plant growing environment within an accepted range of each of the three set points.

The combined grow rack and ventilation system for plants comprises one or more grow racks that each define local aerated cells each corresponding to one shelf of the grow racks, for the plants to grow therein. A grow rack ventilation system is provided that includes a cell gas supply duct at each the aerated cell, with an inlet for connection to a gas supply and an outlet, to supply gas to the aerated cell. The ventilation system also includes a cell gas evacuation duct at each the aerated cell, with an inlet disposed near the aerated cell for evacuating gas from the aerated cell, and a discharge outlet. The system also includes a positive pressure device providing positive pressure in each the cell gas supply duct, and a negative pressure device providing negative pressure in each the cell gas evacuation duct. Local forced gas flows are formed distinctly at each the aerated cells for both supplying and evacuating gas locally at each the aerated cell.
