An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber and a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber for receiving a plurality of plant pods. A recirculation duct is in fluid communication with the grow chamber and a fan assembly circulates a flow of air through the recirculation duct and the grow chamber. A gas sensing assembly includes a gas sensor positioned within the recirculation duct for detecting the concentration of a gas within the flow of air and a flow stabilization device at least partially surrounding the gas sensor for reducing pressure fluctuations in the flow of air and improving gas sensor accuracy.

A method for the automated operation of a greenhouse which has at least one first plant growth room which is operated without artificial lighting and which has at least one second plant growth room which is different from the first plant growth room and which is equipped with artificial light sources for generating artificial light. An associated supply device and an associated greenhouse can be operated automatically.

A multi-source ground-to-air heat transfer system is configured to store thermal energy during a cooling/dehumidifcation mode of operation for future use during a heating mode of operation. The multi-source ground-to-air heat transfer system utilizes a ground loop that is configured under an enclosure, such as a greenhouse, and is in thermal communication with a thermal reservoir medium to conduct and store heat. A thermal exchange fluid is pumped through the ground loop and ground heat exchanger and may receive heat from a condenser during a cooling/dehumidification mode of operation and may liberate heat to the evaporator during a heating mode. The enclosure air may receive heat from the heat pump during a heating mode and may liberate heat to the evaporator during a cooling/dehumidification mode. The heat exchange system may employ a heat pump having a reversing valve to change the mode of operation.

The present invention provides an intelligent cultivating system, which is used for monitoring and identifying a current cultivating status of a cultivating creature, and includes a processing center, a remote monitoring system and a harvesting system. The processing center is used for providing a cultivating regulation and controlling process for monitoring and identifying a current cultivating status. The remote monitoring system is used for regulating and controlling an automatic cultivating parameter of the cultivating regulation and controlling process. The harvesting system is used for preparing a dispatching process to the cultivating creatures, and used for collecting the automatic cultivating parameter of the cultivating regulation and controlling process.

A method to grow cannabis is described, wherein the method includes providing and treating a source of water, mixing the water with an additive to form a liquid mixture, transferring the liquid mixture to a plurality of cannabis plants grown in a growing medium including a mycorrhiza fungus, and growing the cannabis using a humidity control method, then harvesting the cannabis plants. Trimming and grinding the cannabis along with use of environmental control methods including temperature, humidity, lighting schedules, and carbon dioxide concentrations are also described.

The present disclosure relates a plant cultivation apparatus and a water supply control method thereof. The plant cultivation apparatus may perform water supply, lighting, dehumidification and the like to cultivate a plant according to a cultivation condition corresponding to a cultivation stage and a type of the plant provided in a cultivation room.

A heater includes an enclosure, a first baffle plate, and a second baffle plate. The enclosure includes a first wall, a second wall opposite the first wall, and a top plate extending between the first wall and the second wall and cooperating with the first wall and the second wall to at least partially define an interior. The heating module is coupled with the enclosure and is disposed beneath the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate. The heater can additionally or alternatively include an air quality monitoring system and an isolation transformer. The air quality monitoring system includes an air quality controller, at least one air quality sensor, and a power input. The isolation transformer is configured to deliver power from the air quality monitoring system to a fuel system controller of the heating module to facilitate powering thereof.

An indoor gardening appliance includes a grow module positioned within a grow chamber for receiving one or more plant pods. The indoor gardening system includes a sealed system and an air circulation system for conditioning air within the grow chamber, a hydration system for selectively hydrating plants, and a lighting system for providing growth lighting. A controller is configured to detect a vacation condition corresponding to a period of decreased usage of the indoor gardening appliance, e.g., based on a user command or period of inactivity, and adjust at least one operating parameter of the indoor gardening appliance in response to detecting the vacation condition, e.g., to reduce energy consumption, conserve water, and slow plant growth.

Methods, apparatus, systems and processor-readable storage media for distributed farming are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes facilitating transfer of one or more substrates and one or more crops at approximately a given stage of a growth cycle, from (i) a first location to (ii) one or more growing units, wherein the given stage of the growth cycle comprises a stage prior to completion of the growth cycle; processing data, captured via multiple sensors within the one or more growing units, wherein the data comprise (i) data pertaining to at least one of the one or more substrates and the one or more crops, and (ii) data pertaining to the one or more growing units; and performing one or more automated actions based at least in part on the processing of the data.
