A growing system is described where plants are grown in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit them at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, data logging means, growing means, water and nutrients.

The present disclosure relates to an LED lighting device for strawberry seedling raising.

The LED lighting device for strawberry seedling raising according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a light emitting unit composed of a first light emitting part composed of a red region wavelength emission LED and a blue region wavelength emission LED and a second light emitting part composed of the red region wavelength emission LED and an infrared region wavelength emission LED; and a control part for controlling the light emitting unit to manage a strawberry seedling raising, and controlling each LED included in the first light emitting part or the second light emitting part to be turned on/off based on a preset seedling raising mode.

An air flow system for a horticulture application is configured to facilitate simplified, reconfigurable air flow. Via use of adaptable and reconfigurable inlet ports, outlet ports, and a number and/or configuration of ventilation socks, the air flow system may be customizable to each respective application and/or produce increased plant density and/or health in horticultural applications.

A modular gardening system (MGS) for plant growing, the system comprising a garden bed for containing soil that is configured to grow at least one plant therein; an elevated rolling stand module supporting the garden bed; a bed cover system module disposed on top of the garden bed; and a mister irrigation module providing irrigation to the plant.

Apparatus and methods for a hydroponics system with enhanced heat transfer are presented herein. By arranging the flow hydroponics system to have a series flow pattern via tubes and hydroponic pans, heat may be transferred from heat producing elements. The heat producing elements, including light emitting diodes (LEDs), may be thermally attached to the pans. The recycled heat can be transferred to the series circulating water supply for providing nutrient rich minerals at the roots of plants. Additionally, the heat can be transferred via the pans and without the need for costly fans or specialized heat sinks. In this way more space can be availed for the production of plants while recycling energy in the form of transferred heat.
