An osmotic food production system designed to produce fruits, vegetables, and freshwater from urine or saltwater. In some embodiments the osmotic food production system also produces oxygen. In some embodiments, the osmotic food production system is portable and capable of transporting on a vehicle capable of space travel. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to address the existing problems of food production, waste disposal/utilization, oxygen generation, and water conservation in an efficient way to allow for prolonged space travel or colonization of distant planets and moons.

An apparatus for cultivating plants according an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cabinet forming a cultivation space; a machine room configured to be positioned below the cabinet; a bed configured to be mounted inside the cultivation space; a water tank configured to supply water to the bed; and a drain member configured to be positioned between the cultivation space and the machine room; wherein the bed includes a water collecting portion configured to store water; and a water supply portion configured to supply water to the water collecting portion, wherein an end portion of a water supply pipe configured to supply water from the water tank to the water supply portion is positioned above the water supply portion, and wherein the drain member is positioned below the water supply portion.

A method of providing light to plants. The method comprises providing a plurality of plants within a room, grouping each plant of the plurality of plants into one of a plurality of groups of plants based at least in part on a desired total light integral (“TLI”) for each of the plurality of plants and providing the corresponding desired TLI to each plant of the plurality of plants by sequentially providing light to each of the plurality of groups of plants during a time period. For each group of plants, each plant has a substantially similar photoperiod and a sum of the photosynthetic photon flux densities (“PPFDs”) of all plants in the group of plants is substantially similar.

To provide a mechanism for performing environment control in a plant cultivation device and process control regarding to a work process for cultivating a plant. A plant cultivation device includes a plurality of sensors for monitoring a growing condition of a plant to be cultivated; an environment controlling unit for controlling an environment which is a condition of at least one of light, air, water, and space in the plant cultivation device; and a process controlling unit for controlling a work process for cultivating the plant.

A vegetation wall system includes an irrigation tank, a vegetation mounting unit with a vegetation holding unit, a pump feeding water from the tank to the holding unit, a programmable logic control unit including a central processing unit and a sensor, wherein the central processing unit monitors an aspect in the wall system by measuring, by the sensor, a component of the aspect as a first component measurement, waiting a predetermined period of time and then measuring, by the sensor, the component of the aspect as a second component measurement, determining, by the central processing unit, a change in the aspect based on the first and second measurements and the predetermined period of time, determining whether the change is outside a threshold range, in response to determining that the change is outside the threshold range, determining that an anomalous condition exists, and generating an alert when the anomalous condition exists.

Activation of a far-red light device with a far-red light frequency that includes moonlight light that promotes the conversion of inactive Pfr to active Pr in short-day plants prior to a dark period.

An improved apparatus for growing cannabis indoors with an improved vertical lighting system, raised horizontally disposed planters and vertical plant training wires. The cannabis plants are grown in horizontally disposed planters that are installed at a set raised height for easy access. A series of horizontally strung plant training wires are installed vertically above each row of plants. The lighting system is mounted to a powered vertical hanging system such that it can easily be raised and lowered into the space between the rows of plants

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the planter rows are mounted on bearings such that they can be adjusted along the horizontal (x) axis. This allows for denser plant arrangement while still allowing for easy access between rows for plant training and maintenance.

The invention relates to the field of soil and ionitoponic (ionitoponics) automated cultivation of plants having various morphological structures and can be applied in everyday life. The technical result to be achieved by the invention is to ensure a balanced growth and development of plants without human intervention. The essence of the invention is that a plant cultivation device comprises a plant cultivation chamber and the following controller-operated modules: a lighting module, a ventilation module, a substrate humidity monitoring module, an irrigation module, a module for monitoring a water level in a reservoir, and a plant growth stage monitoring module. The device further comprises: a controller-operated plant cultivation module comprising a container and a substrate provided with all necessary micro—, macroelements and microorganisms to achieve the best plant growth; a substrate humidity monitoring module; and a means for differentiating air flows.

A greenhouse facility can include greenhouses such as a first greenhouse and a second greenhouse. The greenhouse facility can also include work units such as a first work unit and a second work unit. The greenhouses and work units can be organized as tenant units that each include at least one greenhouse and at least one work unit. A common roof can cover all the greenhouses and work units. The common roof can include greenhouse canopies and work unit roofs. The greenhouses can be environmentally isolated from the outside environment and from the other greenhouses. The tenant units can be secured from entry via the other tenant units. The greenhouse facility can be formed with shipping containers as architectural elements such as the work units, controlled entry units, etc. The controlled entry units can be used for providing secured access to the greenhouses, work units, and tenant units.
