The problem to be solved is to deal with infectious diseases caused by pathogens that invade from the outside with ventilation to the cultivation room and adhere to the leaf surface or float in the cultivation room.

A silicate clay ore is powdered, and the powdered clay ore is mixed with water and stirred to prepare suspension water or its supernatant water. The present invention proposes a method of atomizing into a cultivation room using an atomizer capable of generating an air flow having a predetermined momentum.

A grow pod comprises a container having a sprinkler system, a water reclamation system, a climate control system, a control system, a security system and a plant drying system; and a method of water reclamation for subsequent use within the grow pod.

An apparatus for controlling conditions in a plant cultivation facility is provided, said apparatus comprising at least: a lighting system arranged in connection with plants present in an environmentally sealable and closable cultivation facility; a hydropic cooling arrangement for lowering or impeding the rise of temperature in the cultivation facility, said cooling arrangement comprising a cooling manifold present in connection with plants in the cultivation facility and a heat recovery arrangement for utilizing excess heat generated in the cultivation facility, said heat recovery arrangement including a heat storing system. The apparatus has its heat recovery arrangement including one or more condenser dryers/coolers for collecting water and/or heat absorbed in the indoor air of a cultivation facility and a heat pump assembly for transferring the heat, accumulated in the heat storing system by way of the cooling arrangement's circulation water and/or the condenser dryer's/cooler's circulation water, into a secondary circuit independent, with respect to its one or more water circulation loops.

A flexible growcenter includes a mobile container, a behind-the-meter power input system, a power distribution system, a growcenter control system, a climate control system, a lighting system, and an irrigation system. The growcenter control system modulates power delivery to one or more components of the climate control system, the lighting system, and the irrigation system based on unutilized behind-the-meter power availability or an operational directive. A method of dynamic power delivery to a flexible growcenter using unutilized behind-the-meter power includes monitoring unutilized behind-the-meter power availability, determining when a growcenter ramp-up condition is met, and enabling behind-the-meter power delivery to one or more computing systems when the growcenter ramp-up condition is met.

A greenhouse is disclosed having a light-transmitting barrier and a floor surface. The barrier and floor surface are connected to define an enclosure within the greenhouse for plant cultivation. The barrier includes an inner layer delimiting the enclosure and an outer layer. The inner and outer layers are impermeable to air to substantially prevent air from entering the enclosure through the inner layer. The outer layer is spaced apart above the inner layer to define an air passage therebetween. The air passage is in fluid communication with at least one air inlet in a bottom portion of the outer layer and with an air outlet in a top portion of the outer layer. Air within the air passage flows passively from the at least one air inlet to the air outlet upon being heated.

The technology disclosed is a two stage Indirect/Direct Evaporative Cooling (IDEC) cycle whose novel closed loop topology compels system convergence to a stable operating state, wherein air cooling takes place mostly in the indirect stage. The direct stage then serves principally as a water chiller for that process.

A process for conditioning the air within a greenhouse comprising transparent walls and a structure including one or more ridge beams as part of a roof of the greenhouse. The process comprises maintaining a pressure difference between an average pressure within the greenhouse and a pressure exterior to the greenhouse, taking in air from the exterior of the greenhouse and mixing this air with air taken from the interior of the greenhouse to obtain conditioned air, distributing the conditioned air via a forced flow to the interior of the greenhouse, and discharging a volume of air from the interior of the greenhouse via openings present in the one or more ridge beams such to maintain the pressure difference.

A plant growing system includes a growth medium preparation unit and a plant growing unit. The growth medium preparation unit includes a supply of water that feeds water through a water treatment unit, a nutrition module, and a reactor sub-system to have the water treated and modified and added with nano-elements and other nutrition components to provide a nutrition formula. The nutrition formula is supplied to the plant growing unit that includes a growing box inside which a tank is provided for receiving and holding the nutrition formula. A plant plate is disposed on the tank and is formed with at least one through opening for receiving and holding a plant. The root of plant is allowed to extend into the nutrition formula inside the tank, while the stem of the plant is growing in a void space above the plant plate and inside the growing box.

The present disclosure relates to a module and system for indoor farming. In some embodiments, an indoor farming module includes a container compartment divided into a grow zone and a control zone, wherein a grow zone comprises a chassis with a plurality of horizontal and vertical frame members configured to support a plurality of carts each carrying a tray with a plurality of plants and wherein the control zone includes an air blowing unit integrated so as to direct air between a drop ceiling and a structural ceiling of the indoor farming module and an air conditioning unit configured to condition an atmosphere in the grow zone by producing cool dry air that is blown into a plenum space located between the drop ceiling and a structural ceiling.

The invention discloses a plant cultivation apparatus comprising a plurality of partitioning spaces, each partitioning space intervally disposed with an isolation net, two ends of each partitioning space respectively disposed with an opening, a rack body respectively disposed inside each partitioning space to place plantings; a working region disposed at one end of the plurality of partitioning spaces, the working region comprising a plurality of ducted fans, each ducted fan respectively and correspondingly located above each partitioning space to supply and conduct airstream to another end of the partitioning space; and a water curtain component disposed at another end of the plurality of partitioning spaces to receive airstream supplied by the ducted fan and conducting it to the opening of each partitioning space so inject airstream into an inside of each partitioning space.
