Systems and methods for vertical farming that reduce the deployment cost, operational costs of human labor, and overall use of energy intensive processes, such as lighting, heating and cooling, and ventilation, while increasing crop quality and yield. This reduction is achieved through a hybrid system that alternates natural light, temperature, and ventilation sources with system-controlled lighting, temperature, and ventilation means. The system includes a germination module that allows seeds to germinal on a horizontal substrate, a growth module that provides optimal growth conditions to the germinated seed on the substrate in a vertical position, and a dosing module that controls the micronutrient mixture supplied to the growing plants.

An apparatus for cultivating plants according to the present disclosure includes a cabinet forming a growing space; a bed configured to be disposed in the cultivation space and provided with a water collection portion for storing water; a light assembly configured to be positioned above the bed and configured to irradiate light to the bed; a pod having an accommodating space and provided with a water-through hole for flowing water stored in the water collection portion thereinto; a medium configured to be disposed in the accommodation space and having a seed insertion groove recessed from the top to the bottom to insert the seeds therein; and a pod cover configured to be coupled to the pod to cover the medium and having a cover hole formed above the seed insertion groove.
