An atmospheric water generation system comprises water vapor consolidation systems configured to increase the relative humidity of a controlled air stream prior to condensing water from the controlled air stream. The water vapor consolidation system comprises a fluid-desiccant flow system configured to decrease the temperature of the desiccant to encourage water vapor to be absorbed by the desiccant from an atmospheric air flow. The desiccant flow is then heated to encourage water vapor evaporation from the desiccant flow into a controlled air stream that circulates within the system. The humidity of the controlled air stream is thereby increased above the relative humidity of the atmospheric air to facilitate condensation of the water vapor into usable liquid water.

A plant grow unit (10) includes a body (12) that bounds an interior area (14). Access to the interior area is controlled by a door (18). The interior area houses a plurality of grow lights (50) which are selectively operated in response to at least one control circuit (96) to provide suitable illumination and radiation for growing selected plants. Shelves (46, 48) are selectively positionable for supporting plants thereon. A plurality of sensors and devices in the interior area are operated responsive to the control circuit to maintain desired conditions for plant growth within the interior area and to indicate detected conditions.

A plant growing system has a number of modular units arranged together on a flat surface in side of a growing room. The modular units have rigid boxes therein with vertical holes therethrough inside of which is located a growing soil. Water and nutrients are pumped from a reservoir to a distributor located in a growing soil of the rigid boxes as called for by moisture sensors, which activates a controller to turn ON a delivery pump. When moisture and nutrients need to be removed from an impermeable flexible liner located below the modular units, the controller turns ON a return pump, which pumps the excess water and nutrients back to the reservoir.

An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber, a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber for receiving a plurality of plant pods, and a sealed system for regulating chamber temperature. A controller is configured for operating the sealed system to maintain the grow chamber at a grow temperature, obtaining a scheduled harvest time, determining a chill cycle including a predetermined chill time and a pre-harvest chill temperature based at least in part on the scheduled harvest time, and operating the sealed system to implement the chill cycle by regulating a chamber temperature to the pre-harvest chill temperature during the predetermined chill time.

Certain embodiments may provide a method for controlling a desalination system. The method may include performing a desalination procedure with salt-water in a desalination compartment of the desalination system. The method may also include extracting brine and freshwater from the desalination procedure. The method may further include directing the brine to a brine treatment compartment of the desalination system, and the freshwater to a firewater container. In addition, the method may include performing a brine treatment procedure in the brine treatment compartment. Further, the method may include collecting concentrated brine from the brine treatment compartment.

A method for receiving, over a computer network, from a plurality of devices installed in an indoor farming module, a plurality of data associated with at least one of: a water level in a watering reservoir, a pH level in an irrigation system, a temperature in the indoor farming module, a humidity level in the indoor farming module, a carbon dioxide level in the indoor farming module, and a power relay status, filtering the received plurality of data on a remote computer based on a filtering field, displaying, in a plurality of panels, the filtered data received from the plurality of devices; configuring a plurality of schedules for the plurality of devices, wherein the plurality of schedules comprise at least one of an irrigation schedule, a lighting schedule, and a data collection schedule, and sending the configured plurality of schedules to one or more controllers of the indoor farming module.

The present invention relates to a method for producing water having a stable high nitrate content, an organic fertilizer comprising the water having a stable high nitrate content thus produced, and use of the water having a stable high nitrate content in a method for the organic cultivating of a plant in a substrate. The present invention further relates to a continuous flow system for supplying plants with the water having a stable high nitrate content.

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.

A container unit for greening of wall surface and greening method using container unit. The planting container unit has an outer container having an upper-surface and a front-surface opening, an inner container that can be inserted into the front-surface opening of the outer container, and a fixing plate where the inner container is fixed to the outer container. The inner container is capable of housing a planting base, incudes a front-surface opening where a plant body part of the pot plant can be exposed to an outside, and includes an upper-surface opening for housing the planting base and the pot plant. The inner container has, on a front surface having the front-surface opening, a front-surface flange that engages with a wall of the outer container around the front-surface opening. The planting container unit is configured such that the inner container is removably housed inside the outer container.

An apparatus includes a shipping container, an electrical interface configured to electrically couple the shipping container to an electrical power source, and a water interface configured to fluidically couple the shipping container to a water source. The shipping container has disposed therein one or more cultivation chamber, a water circulation system in fluid communication with the cultivation chamber(s), a gas circulation system in fluid communication with the cultivation chamber(s), and a light system. Each cultivation chamber is configured to receive at least one biological component of a target product. The water circulation system is configured to provide a volume of water into the cultivation chamber(s), the gas circulation system is configured to provide a flow of gas into the cultivation chamber(s), and the light system is configured to provide light to the cultivation chamber(s).
