Growing systems may include a number of modular growing chambers adapted to be configured in a stacked arrangement with each growing chamber surrounding a corresponding portion of the plant. The grow chambers may be selectively added or removed during plant growth, such that different sections of the growing plant may be influenced differently using aeroponic, hydroponic or other growing techniques. The grow chamber stack may be portable and provided with integrated or independent lifting devices to assist an operator in adding or removing chambers from the stack. Three growing processes may be facilitated using such systems. These include a process for producing assorted product from a single plant for simultaneous harvest, a process for producing an extended harvest of a desired size product from a single plant, and a process for extending the productive life of a plant and provide for multiple, continued, and perpetual harvest.

The pots can be mounted to a support element and plumbing and electrical utilities of the green wall system can be positioned within a utility column adjacent to the wall of vegetation. The utility column can span from a bottom of the green wall system to a top of the green wall system. A fluid reservoir and a pump to pump fluid from the reservoir to the potted plants can be positioned within the utility column.

A method and an environment simulating system are disclosed which includes a database comprising a library of climate recipes characterizing growing environments for different plants and trees; a micro-controller electrically coupled to receive specific climate recipes when orders for different plants and trees are received from customers; an environment actuating system, electrically coupled to the micro-controller, operable to receive the specific climate recipes from the database; a sub-controller electrically coupled to receive the specific climate recipes from the micro-controller to drive the environment actuating system to generate specific growing environments in a growing enclosure in accordance with the specific orders; an array of web-based sensors, coupled to the growing enclosure and the micro-controller, operable to sense growing conditions of the specific growing environments and to feedback the growing conditions to the micro-controller; and a network server adapted to couple the Database, the micro-controller, the sub-controller, the array of web-based sensors, the growing enclosure, and the customers to a network.

Described herein are example portable indoor hydroponic garden assemblies and associated methods of use. The portable indoor hydroponic garden assemblies can include features that facilitate hydroponic gardening in an indoor environment, including structural features that enhance the indoor environment itself, such as through sounds, smells, textures, sights, and so on. In an example, the portable indoor hydroponic garden system includes a tiered growing assembly housed fully within an enclosure. The tiered growing assembly can include a group of trays defining tiers that are recessed from one another, allowing water or other fluid to flow from tray to tray, creating waterfall features there between that can aerate the water and emit a pleasurable sound to the indoor environment. The enclosure can be climate controlled and thus adaptable to a variety of indoor conditions to grow desired plants, including embodiments using programmable heating and lighting systems.

A container with integrated channels that provide rapid and simple attachment and removal of interchangeable, modular accessories to the container's exterior. The accessories facilitate attachment of devices to the container. The accessories, when attached to the channels, provide various possible methods to fix the container to any structure or supporting device in any environment.

Methods and systems for cooling plant roots in an aeroponics unit are disclosed. One such system includes a growing unit coupleable to a mist generator for delivering a mist within the growing unit. The growing unit includes two opposing side walls connected by a top wall, a base, a front wall and a back wall with plant receptacles on the front wall. A lower opening in one of the opposing side walls, the back wall, the front wall, or the base and an upper opening in one of the opposing side walls, the back wall, the front wall, or the top wall are shaped and positioned to allow a root cooling convection air current to form between the lower opening and the upper opening to cool plant roots by allowing ambient air to enter the enclosure through the lower opening and warmer air to exit through the upper opening.

A plant container having a plant receptacle adapted to retain plant growth medium and defining an open cultivation end adapted for emergence of a plant system therefrom. The plant container features at least one fertigation supply trough and at least one fertigation drainage trough, each sloping inwardly from the open cultivation end. When the plant container is oriented such that the at least one fertigation supply trough is facing upward, liquid received in the fertigation supply trough flows along the fertigation supply trough away from the open cultivation end, through at least one fertigation supply aperture into and through the interior volume of the plant receptacle, into and along the fertigation drainage trough toward the open cultivation end, and exits by way of at least one fertigation drainage aperture. Typically a series of plant containers are received in end-to-end relation in a channel of a vertical plant cultivation tower.

A water-circulation irrigation system includes a water supply device and a planting device. The planting device includes a water storage container, an irrigation pipeline, a nozzle and a recycling pipeline. One end of the irrigation pipeline is in communication with the water storage container and has a water supply end. The planting device includes a water collection container, a planting tray and a shunting element. The water collection container has a water dispensing post. The planting tray is disposed at an opening of the water collection container. The planting tray has a fitting portion and a through hole and corresponds in position to a water collection space of the water collection container. The shunting element includes a fertilizer chamber and is disposed at the rim of the through hole of the fitting portion. Therefore, a fertilizer solution is produced in a manpower-efficient manner and thus conveniently.

A system may include a support structure for providing a vegetated canopy including a soil container support and a plurality of ribs disposed along the support structure, where the plurality of ribs are structurally configured to support a vegetated canopy disposed thereon. The system may also include a modular canopy structurally configured to attach to the support structure, the modular canopy including a soil container structurally configured to engage with the soil container support, a plurality of substantially rigid external members structurally configured to engage with a rib of the support structure, and a connecting member disposed along a length of the substantially rigid external members and attaching at a substantially rigid external member to another substantially rigid external member. The plurality of substantially rigid external members and the connecting members may form a trellis structurally configured to support vegetation.

A system for growing plants and monitoring the growth of plants, comprising a gardening system and a server. The gardening system comprises a frame that defines a housing for receiving a tray of plants. The gardening system also has a lighting subsystem and watering subsystem to provide light and water to the plants. Sensors and cameras of the gardening system may capture data corresponding to the conditions of the gardening system and health of the plant. Based on the captured data, the server may use machine learning to determine optimal plant growing thresholds, and may send a control command to a controller of the gardening system to change one or more conditions of the gardening system. The plants grown by the system may be nutritious, and the bioavailability of the nutrients of the plants may be increased.
