A seed pod assembly that has a pod defining an interior region and configured to support contents therein, a grow media positioned at least partially within the interior region, a plant seed positioned at least partially within the interior region, and a lid coupled to the pod to contain the plant seed within the interior region. The pod is sized to be positioned in an opening of a plant growing apparatus to allow water and nutrients to reach the plant seed or be released from within the pod.

A water treatment system 1 includes at least one aquaculture water tank 10 configured to culture water creatures; at least one hydroponic culture water tank 20 configured to hydroponically grow plants; and a water treatment device 30 configured to treat water discharged from the aquaculture water tank 10 and supply the treated water to the hydroponic culture water tank 20. The water treatment device 30 controls the amount of nutrient content for the plants to be supplied to the hydroponic culture water tank 20 by generating the nutrient content from impurities contained in the water discharged from the aquaculture water tank 10 and in a case where the amount of the generated nutrient content is excessive, storing the excessive nutrient content in a storage tank 33.

A hydroponic system and method for growing plants. The system comprises one or more plant support structures, one or more housing membranes, and one or more frames. The one or more plant support structures hold plant matter and have one or more holes. The one or more housing membranes are air-permeable and water-resistant, house a solution and at least a portion of the one or more plant support structures, and have one or more openings in which at least a portion of the one or more plant support structures fit into. The one or more frames support the one or more housing membranes. Methods for growing plants are also provided.

A plant growing system including a plant growing apparatus and methods of making and using the plant growing apparatus to control at least one physical condition of the environment to cultivate plants in plant growing trays associated with the plant growing apparatus.

A modular hydroponics gardening apparatus for growing plants without soil includes a water pump in communication with a water source for pumping fluid upwardly through a transfer conduit. The water pump and a lower end of the transfer conduit is positioned in a watertight base member. The apparatus includes growth pods arranged radially inside a midsection member that defines spaced apart apertures, each defining an open end in communication with a respective aperture. A plurality of midsection members may be stacked atop one another. A lid assembly is stacked atop the uppermost midsection member, the transfer conduit extending upwardly from the water pump to the lid assembly where water is pumped and rains down into respective growth pods. An ultraviolet light extends about each midsection and is vertically adjustable for shining its light into respective growth pods. With a timed water supply and controllable light emissions, plant growth is maximized.

An embodiment of the novel and inventive vertical hydroponic system comprises a double-sided system, each side having two sets of double-door tile panels. Each door is mounted on hinges attached at either the right or left sides of an external support frame with the doors opening out from the middle. Each door in this embodiment may support a 6×4 array of novel and inventive tiles, each tile arranged with two columns of 3 pot supports, each such tile capable of supporting 6 grow pots, for a total of 144 grow pots per door. In this embodiment all four doors can support up to 576 grow pots. However, an infinite number of tile variations are possible with the 2×3 array being just one. The doors can be opened during the growth cycle without disconnecting or interrupting the irrigation components which allows for fast and easy harvesting and maintenance. A submersible pump and its control electronics are mounted in the support framework so the system is self-contained. Scheduling software is provided via digital mobile app, which is downloadable from common app sources. The hydroponic system is interconnectible to the internet for remote maintenance and monitoring.
