The specification discloses a hydroponic nutrient aeration and flow control (NAFC) device and system, which both aerates and controls the flow of the hydroponic nutrient solution. The NAFC device has no moving parts. Each NAFC device mixes and aerates the nutrient from the nutrient reservoir with air and/or nutrient from one of the grow tanks. Each NAFC device additionally controls the flow of the aerated nutrient solution to the grow tank and the nutrient reservoir. The vertical position of the end of the nutrient return line in each grow tank may be adjusted to adjust the level of the nutrient solution within the grow tank.

A scalable, hydroponic plant cultivation system that incorporates top-down drip technology, a root misting spray, and a closed loop, lotic nutrient-rich, water-based solution circulation system in a highly oxygenated environment using aeration technology. The hydroponic system starts with a reservoir that is connected at its base to a series of plant containers which is in a closed loop system that pumps nutrient rich solution out from the reservoir to each plant container via an elevated, acequia drip system that provides the nutrient rich solution to the base of the plants, which is then circulated passively down through the root basket and then through the entire system of networked containers and back to the main reservoir. The next element of the hydroponic system has the reservoir connected to a series of pipes and manifolds that run through the upper interior of each plant container to deliver an aerated spray directed at the plant's upper roots. The next element of the hydroponic system is an aeration system that delivers oxygen directly into the nutrient rich water in each container. The final unique aspect of the system is the lightproof cover that covers the top of the root basket and wraps around the base of the stock of the plant to prevent algae growth. The aforementioned elements of the hydroponic system combine to create the optimum environment for what plants need for rapid and vigorous plant growth.

A conveyor system (4, 5) moves vertical poles (2) in an agricultural facility between a growing area (20) and a workstation (W). Each pole carries plant growing containers (3) at multiple levels (H1-H9). An irrigation reservoir (30) may be mounted atop each pole. Irrigation lines (31-33) from the reservoir may be individually metered (35) at each level to compensate for differing water pressure with height. Sensors (40) in the reservoir and at each level of the poles may provide a controller (36) with data input. The controller may impose different growing conditions in different areas of the facility, including vertically different grow areas (20A, 20B), and controls pole movements and locations selectively to provide a sequence of poles at the workstation ready to harvest on a demand schedule. The workstation may have multiple heights (W1, W2, W3) for tall poles that increase plant density per facility footprint.

A ceiling-mounted moisture distribution apparatus provides a housing mounted to a ceiling surface for supporting a plant container and discharging a liquid directly onto a plant. The housing has an elongated aesthetic design for hanging the apparatus in home and office settings. The housing mounts to a ceiling through an apertured flange. The apparatus concentrically supports a plant container from a ring mount for distributing moisture in a controllable manner directly onto plant. The apparatus also comprises an elongated housing that forms an inlet hole for receiving a liquid from an external liquid source. The housing has an outlet hole that is disposed generally below the inlet hole and above the plant for discharging the liquid onto the plant through pressure or gravity induced flow. A tube carries the liquid from the inlet hole to the outlet hole. Additionally, a valve at the tube regulates the discharge of the liquid.

The present disclosure relates to a plant cultivating apparatus. The plant cultivating apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a body configured to have a cultivation chamber therein, a water storage configured to be disposed in the body and store water, a water supply bed configured to be disposed at one side of the cultivation chamber and have a water supply flow path receiving water from the water storage, and a cultivation port configured to be seated on the water supply bed and receive water from the water supply flow path, in which the cultivation port includes a suction member disposed in the cultivation port and suctioning water stored in the water supply flow path, and a medium disposed above the suction member, receiving water from the suction member, and storing nutrients required for plant growth.

An air freshening system, including: an air compressor, for flowing air; a water inlet, for supplying water; a central pipe, for receiving the air from the air compressor, and for receiving the water from the water inlet; and a plurality of end devices, each including: a water dripper, including an inlet, for communicating with the central pipe; a filter, for filtering the air; and an outlet, for supplying filtered air, thereby allowing cleaning the filters of the plurality of end devices by supplying the water thereto.

A liquid-storing planting device is disclosed. The liquid-storing planting device includes a first box and a second box. The first box includes a plurality of lateral walls and a plurality of first through holes formed on the lateral walls. A tubular body is inserted into the first through hole to connect and communicate two adjacent first boxes. A supporting member is mounted within the first box. A second box is tacked on the first box. A plurality of second through holes are formed on the second box. Each of the second through holes is provided with a liquid absorbing strip. The liquid absorbing strip hangs down to the inside of the first box through the second through hole. The liquid stored in the first box is transferred to the second box by capillary effect of the liquid absorbing strip so as to provide a friendly planting environment.
