SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNERGISTIC HORTICULTURAL REGIMENS USING CONTROLLED WIND AND LIGHT EXPOSURE FOR STRENGTHENED, PLANT IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND PLANT FUNGI TREATMENTS
20220087113 · 2022-03-24 ·

The present invention discloses systems and methods for synergistic horticultural regimens. Methods include the steps of: providing a plant in a controlled environment for regulating wind and light exposure at a temperature and relative humidity (RH) in the vicinity of the plant; exposing the plant to a breeze in order to cause swaying to induce microcracks in the plant; exposing the plant to a first light spectrum of about 360-445 nm to stimulate exudate formation; increasing the temperature to about 22-32° C.; removing the breeze after the plant is covered with an exudate; exposing the plant to a second light spectrum of about 360-445 nm and about 425-480 nm; reducing the temperature to about 22-25° C. and the RH to 30-60%; and exposing the plant to a third light spectrum of about 650 nm and 730 nm to cause the exudate to release oxygen during hardening of the exudate on the plant.
