Plants are positioned in containers on a conveyor having conveyor rails. The conveyor rails pass into a radiation space above a roof of a building, along an exterior side of the building and into a processing space below the roof of the building. One or more of the conveyor rails in the radiation space may be supported by a frame. A part of the conveyor extends horizontally above the roof of the building, and another part of the conveyor extends vertically along the exterior side of the building. Water pipelines and a dispenser are provided in the processing space and not in the radiation space, the dispenser being positioned below the roof of the building. The conveyor moves the plants between the radiation space and the processing space during the plants' lives. The frame may be moved to raise or reposition the conveyer in the radiation space.

The space S is set to a substantially exact distance such that the first panel set 2 does not block reception of sunlight by the second panel set 3 and the second panel set 3 does not block reception of sunlight by the first panel set 2 even when the first panel set 2 and the second panel set 3 are tilted to a maximum to track sunlight. Below the first panel set 2, the second panel set 3, and the space S, a housing portion 8 made of materials capable of holding own shape is provided.

System for promoting plant growth and production

A system for applying CO.sub.2 gas to improve Cannabis production. A multi-stage system is disclosed including upstream, midstream, and downstream stages or subsystems. The upstream subsystem receives and stores gas, particularly CO2 gas. The midstream subsystem is communicatively connected to the upstream subsystem and to the downstream subsystem. It monitors the environment of the downstream subsystem, determines when and how to apply gas to plants growing in the downstream system, acquires gas stored in the upstream subsystem, and distributes it to the downstream system. It also has various monitoring, command and control, management, and reporting features. The downstream subsystem includes one or more plant growth areas or plots, gas distribution means, such as gas conduits, tubes or lines from the midstream subsystem, and the high efficiency, adjustable gas applicator, and various sensing and monitoring devices communicatively connected to the midstream subsystem.
