A modular coco coir grow bag system for cannabis plant includes a starter block comprising a growth medium, wherein the growth medium is adapted to receive a peat based plug with a seedling or cutting of the plant. The system further includes a grow bag comprising a growth medium, wherein the growth medium is adapted to receive at least a portion of the starter block. The growth media of the starter block and the grow bag comprises coconut materials, wherein the starter block and grow bag are provided in a compressed format which expands upon hydration. The grow bag further comprises apertures for water drainage and a mesh insert adapted to hinder exit of coarse particulate matter during water drainage.

A planter for a bag including a growing medium where the bag is used for growing at least one of a seed and plant includes a base used for placement under the bag and at least one bag piercing element attached to the base where each bag piercing element includes at least one opening for liquid drainage below the base and projects upwardly from the base.

A system for packaging growth medium pots onto propagation trays is provided. The system includes an apparatus adapted for producing a length of growth medium cut into growth medium pots of suitable size; and a distributor apparatus adapted for positioning growth medium pots into a propagation tray or the like. The distributor apparatus comprises a) a first apparatus, b) a conveyor unit, and c) a second apparatus. The first apparatus is configured for positioning growth medium pots onto said conveyor unit. The conveyor unit comprises an endless conveyor belt adapted for transporting the growth medium pots toward the second apparatus. The second apparatus is configured for moving said growth medium pots positioned on the said conveyor belt into a propagation tray or the like.

A whole plant gas exchange apparatus employs a chamber having a first region for accommodating a growth medium and a root system of a whole plant, and a second region accommodating a canopy of the plant. The regions are separated by a barrier, except for an opening through which the stem of the plant is accommodated. An air source supplies incoming air to the second region through an intake. An air outlet conveys outgoing air from the second region to a gas sensor for analysis of the outgoing air after photosynthetic interaction with the plant canopy. A vent communicates the first region of the chamber to an ambient environment outside the chamber. A resulting pressurized state of the second region is used to exhaust air from the first region through the vent in order to isolate this exhausted air from the analyzed canopy air.

The present technology relates to coated growth medium blocks for growing of sugarcane plants that include a casing or wrapper and a cavity for receiving the growth medium and for receiving a plant, planting unit or plant part embedded within the growth medium. The casing forms an envelope around each block which includes an individual planting unit embedded within an appropriate growth medium.
