According to at least one embodiment, a growing medium and method of making said growing medium is shown and described. This medium may include at least a first and second component such that at least one of the first or second component is coconut coir and the other of the at least first or second component is a wood fiber. In one embodiment, the at least first and second component are combined and then compressed via heat and pressure resulting in a finished medium for an end user.

The present invention is a plant growth promoter containing a lignocellulosic biomass, wherein the lignocellulosic biomass has a lignin content of 40% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less and a contact angle with water of 50° or less.

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.

A pot system and apparatus comprises an outer shell, an inner vented container configured to fit inside the outer shell, the inner vented container further comprising: a top lip, an upper basket, and a soil chamber, the pot system being configured to prevent root rot, provide air pruning, and to foster bacterial growth and air circulation to passively scrub indoor air.
