Gardening apparatus
A gardening apparatus includes one or more of a base, a fluid reservoir, and a plant tray or support disposed on the reservoir. The support is adapted for receiving one or more modular plant inserts, and can define a flow structure for channeling fluid to each insert. A pump supplies fluid from the reservoir to the plant tray or support, with a light assembly adapted to generate a spectrum of light for growth of plants from the inserts. A processor is configured for controlling fluid flow from the pump, the light spectrum generated by the lighting elements, or both. For example, the processor can use a dynamic recipe, algorithm or control schedule to modulate the fluid flow or spectrum based the plant type, growth stage, height, plant health data, digital phenotyping data, or ambient conditions, or a combination thereof.
AQUA WEIGHT
Aqua-Weight is a weight- mechanism -measuring- stand -system, that weighs the planter pot, dry, wet and current saturation water levels. Aqua-Weight balances the water saturation level of the plant and planter pot, by measuring the current weight of the plant, pot and water. The illumination of led lights show and sends results that the saturation level is llow and adequate water is needed to maintain a healthier plant life.
Aqueous grow chamber recirculating nutrient control system and sensor calibration
An aquaponic grow system includes a plurality of sensors for sensing nutrient levels in liquid provided to a grow chamber, and to adjust nutrient levels based on the sensed levels. In some embodiments the system includes a plurality of sensors configured to sense nutrient levels in a common chamber, with the system configured to calibrate the sensors.
AUTOMATED PLANTER APPARATUS
In some embodiments, an automated planter apparatus may include a reservoir container having a base with a sidewall coupled to and extending away from the base. A reservoir cavity may be disposed within the reservoir container and may be formed and bounded by the sidewall and base. A support lid may be configured to extend over and cover all or portions of the reservoir cavity. One or more receptacles may be disposed within the support lid, and each receptacle may be in fluid communication with the reservoir cavity. One or more pumps may be in fluid communication with the reservoir cavity and each receptacle. A plant container may be removably coupled within a receptacle. A processing unit may be in electrical communication with each pump and be configured to activate and control each pump.
Apparatus for cultivating plants
An apparatus for cultivating plants may include a cabinet forming a space in which plants may be cultivated; a door connected to the cabinet to open or close the space; at least one bed disposed in the space; at least one seed package separably seated on the at least one bed and having a medium including seeds of plants and nutrient solution; and a light assembly to radiate light to the at least one seed package disposed on the at least one bed. The at least one bed may include an upper bed on which the at least one seed package may be seated and a bottom bed on which the upper bed may be seated and that forms a water collecting portion that stores water, and the at least one seed package may be supplied with the water stored in the water collecting portion.
Method and arrangement for growing plants on multilayer principle
A method and a system for growing plants on multilayer principle in mobile gutter farming is described, whereby, in the process of growing plants planted in cultivation gutters, said plants are conveyed in cultivation layers present on top of each other in a cultivation space in a longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in one or opposite directions. The cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein, are treated in the cultivation space by means of a processing arrangement in a cultivation layer-specific manner, whereby the cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein are first of all conveyed by motion elements in each cultivation layer of the cultivation space in the longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in opposite directions and are treated by processing elements in each cultivation layer of the cultivation space separately, in a manner substantially independent of the other cultivation layers.
APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED CONTROL FOR A PERFORMANCE VEGETATION WALL SYSTEM
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.
INTELLIGENT WATER SUPPLY BASE FOR USE IN PLANTING POT
The present utility model provides an intelligent water supply seat for a planting pot, including a shell, a controller, a battery, a humidity sensor, a power source and a pipeline. The shell is internally provided with a water storage cavity. The controller and the battery are both installed in the shell and isolated from the water storage cavity. The humidity sensor is electrically connected with the controller and extends out of the shell. The power source is installed in the water storage cavity. The pipeline is connected with the power source and extends out of the shell. The controller is electrically connected between the battery and the power source. The humidity sensor is configured for detecting the humidity of soil in the planting pot on the intelligent water supply seat for the planting pot. The power source conveys water in the water storage cavity into the planting pot on the intelligent water supply seat for the planting pot through the pipeline.
