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 system comprising a conditioning system with one or more cooling coils configured to allow air to pass through the cooling coils to reduce a temperature of the air as well as an extraction portion with a plurality of condensing plates configured to receive conditioned air and configured to cause a portion water vapor of the conditioned air to collect and form liquid water, and a reservoir configured to receive collected liquid water from the plurality of condensing plates.

A system for vegetable garden and nursery cultivation of plants is described that includes a cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves on which to cultivate plants. The shelves are being positioned one on top of the other along a vertical axis, so as to identify a space interposed between the upper face of a shelf and the lower face of the overlying shelf. The space is adapted to cultivate the plants. Further, means for generating a light source, means for delivering a liquid, and means for suction/supply of a forced air flow are provided. Further, means for moving the shelves along the vertical axis are included, there being a control unit configured to control operation of the means for moving, the means for generating the light source, the means for delivering the liquid, and the means for suction/supply.

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.

The invention provides a method for sensing a plant-related parameter in a horticulture space (115), wherein (i) a radio transmitter (151) and a radio receiver (152) are arranged such that a radio path (153) between the radio transmitter (151) and the radio receiver (152) passes through at least part of the horticulture space (115), and (ii) the radio receiver (152) is configured in a radio signal receiving relationship with the radio transmitter (151), wherein the method comprises a sensing stage comprising: emitting a radio signal with the radio transmitter (151); detecting the radio signal with the radio receiver (152) and providing a related receiver signal; and determining the plant-related parameter based on the receiver signal.

A method of using a system to apply liquid over a selected area includes providing a source of liquid, a first tube for transporting liquid from the source through the system, a connector, a check valve and a spray device. The connector includes a projection extending into the first tube. The projection has an inlet in fluid communication with the first tube. The connector further includes an outlet and a passageway in fluid communication with the inlet of the projection and the outlet of the connector. The check valve has an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the connector and an outlet. The check valve is operable to permit the passage of liquid from the inlet to the outlet upon pressurization of the liquid above a threshold pressurization level. The method includes the steps of introducing an amount of liquid to be applied to the selected area from the source of liquid to the first tube at a pressure below the threshold pressurization level of the check valve and providing pressurized liquid through the first tube to pressurize the liquid in the first tube above the threshold pressurization level of the check valve, thereby transporting liquid from the first tube, through the connector and the check valve and through the spray device in response to pressurization of the liquid. The liquid may be ozonated water.

A structure having an area to be conditioned includes an air conditioning system having a heat exchanger and a condensate drain pan positioned adjacent to the heat exchanger such that a condensate will gravitate from the heat exchanger to the condensate drain pan.
