An assembly for the automated production of conical paper sleeves for plants uses paper stock precut in a trapezoid configuration which is continuously fed to the assembly. The precut sheets are folded diagonally twice to form a conical sleeve. The folding process includes application of an adhesive on the overlap of the folded sides to securely seal the sleeve. The precut sheets are transported along the assembly via a series of belts, rollers and electrical motors. The synchronization of the folding process and the application of adhesive is electronically monitored and controlled.

A cultivation bag assembly for the cultivation of microbes, fungi and other organisms includes an inner bag for containing a food substrate and an organism to be cultivated. At least one wall of the inner bag is constructed of a layer of water-vapor permeable material. An outer bag of the assembly has first and second walls formed from gas impermeable layers. At least one of the first and second walls of the outer bag has a gas filter patch to allow the passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases into and out of the interior of the inner bag to facilitate incubation of the organism within the interior of the inner bag. The inner bag and outer bag are coupled together at a first end of each of the inner bag and outer bag.

A lid for curing organic plants. The lid is configured to be secured onto a contain with an open top, wherein the lid includes a gasket located on the bottom side of the lid, wherein the lid further includes one or more valves configured to prevent air from entering the container when the lid is secured, wherein the valve is further configured to allow air to escape the container and enter the container when actuated, wherein the lid includes a plurality of numbers associated with a calendar date and a calendar month annularly arranged on a top surface of the lid, and wherein the lid further includes a plurality of tabs, wherein the plurality of tabs are configured to move bi-directionally and include an opening configured to align and display the plurality of numbers.

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the cultivation-, packaging-, and shipping of plugs, containing a seed or seedling and a substrate. In particular, a holder (10) is contrived having one or multiple cavities (11) in which a plug can be placed, together with one or multiple removal slits (12). Furthermore, a packaging tray (30) is contrived, having engaging means (32) and a perforated foil, to be used in unison with a particular holder for shipping that particular holder to a retailer or a customer. The holder could be placeable in both a cultivation tray (80) and a packaging tray (30).
