An aeroponic system for supporting efficient low-resource-usage plant growth comprises a housing comprising one or more openings and one or more root chambers; one or more sealing members configured to substantially conform to a stalk of a plant and to substantially isolate a canopy of the plant from the one or more root chambers; one or more root chamber sensors; one or more nutrient storage reservoirs for storage of plant nutrients; one or more air-assisted nozzles configured to introduce atomized nutrient solution into the one or more root chambers; a temperature control system configured to control a temperature of the one or more root chambers; and a control system configured to control the temperature control apparatus and the one or more air-assisted nozzles to maintain environmental parameters associated with the one or more root chambers within desired parameter ranges.

Plants are optimally grown under artificial narrowband Photosynthetically Active Radiation (“PAR”) of multiple colors, and color palettes, applied in but partially time-overlapping cycles. As well as a long, growing season, cycle, the colored lights are cyclically applied on a short, diurnal, cycle that often roughly simulates a peak-season sunny day at the earth latitude native to the plant. Bluer lights are applied commencing before redder lights, and are likewise terminated before the redder lights. Infrared light in particular, is preferably first applied at a time corresponding to early afternoon, and is temporally extended past a time corresponding to sunset. The colored lights and light palettes preferably rise to, and fall from, different peak intensities over periods from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and relative peak intensities of even such different colors as are used at all vary up to times two (×2) in response to differing PAR requirements of different plants. Computer-controlled colored LED lights realize all.

A light device for plant cultivation is disclosed. The light device for plant cultivation includes a light source unit including multiple first light source modules and multiple second light source modules. The multiple first light source modules and the multiple second light source modules may emit light for plant cultivation toward a plant. The multiple first light source modules are arranged at constant intervals. The multiple second light source modules are disposed at least between a pair of first light source modules disposed at both ends of the light source unit.

Storage, growing system and methods for storing, germinating, propagating and or growing living organisms, exemplary systems including stackable growth tray(s) containing: a drainage system, the drainage system including: an inclined growing surface, inclined in a direction to at least one drainage hole; a drainage routing structure positioned over the at least one drainage hole, and having a down-pipe and a connecting routing pipe, wherein the down-pipe is for receiving fluid from an adjacent-above stackable item and transmitting the fluid to an adjacent-below down-pipe or a drain-pipe, and the connecting routing pipe is for receiving fluid from an adjacent-above drainage hole and routing the fluid to the down-pipe, and wherein fluid propagating from the inclined growing surface or an adjacent-above stackable item is directed through the growth tray to a down-steam point in the drainage system.

A pole system for racking, storing, germinating, propagating and growing living organisms on a growth tray, the pole system including: a substantially vertical support structure, the support structure including at least one utility system for supporting propagation or growth of a living organism; one or more vertically-spaced interface positions, each for interfacing with a growth tray; and one or more openings in the support structure, corresponding to one or more of the interface positions, for providing services to interfaced growth tray(s) is disclosed. Further, a hydroponic system and method using the pole system are disclosed.

A plant cultivation light source includes a plurality of light sources configured to be turned on or turned off depending on a selected plant and a growth stage of the selected plant, and a controller. The controller is operable to turn on the light sources during a light period such that the light sources are operable to emit a light having a spectrum with a plurality of peaks to the selected plant. The light period including a first period and a second period and the first period preceding or following the second period. The controller is operable to adjust the spectrum of the light to alternate the first period and the second period during the light period.

A multifunctional light source assembly and a multifunctional desk lamp are disclosed. The multifunctional desk lamp includes a base assembly, a lamp head assembly, and a lamp arm assembly; one end of the lamp arm assembly is connected with the base assembly, and the other end is connected with and supports the lamp head assembly; the lamp head assembly is internally provided with the multifunctional light source assembly, the multifunctional light source assembly includes an illumination LED chip, a plant grow light LED chip and an ultraviolet LED chip. The illumination chip, the plant grow light chip and the ultraviolet chip are respectively connected to a controller, which respectively controls the three chips, through the on and off of currents, so that functions such as illumination for reading and writing, sterilization, plant growth assistance can be achieved.

A system and method for generating high-yield plant production is disclosed. The system includes a container, a growing station, and a monitoring system. The growing station includes vertical racks, a lighting system, an irrigation system, a climate control system, and a ventilation system. The monitoring system monitors all of the systems in the growing station, as well as the environment within the container, to provide real-time data and alerts to a user.

A hydroponics lighting system includes a plurality of hydroponics pans. The system includes multiple light sources, each of the multiple light sources being attached to the exterior surface of at least one of the plurality of hydroponics pans and individual light sources emitting different wavelengths of light and a controller configured to individually adjust one or more of light intensity or wavelength output for each of the multiple light sources over time.

A light fixture for an indoor grow facility is provided. The light fixture includes a plurality of LED lights, a controller, a digital communication module, and an analog communication module. The controller is in signal communication with the plurality of LED lights. The digital communication module receives a digital control signal.
