Abstract: A water culture device for peony is provided. The water culture device for peony includes an incubator. The incubator is internally provided with a sliding rack at a middle position. A servo motor is arranged on a right side of the incubator. Second rotating shaft levers are arranged on left and right sides of the incubator. Since the locating clips on the regulating levers and the planting baskets on the sliding rack are used cooperatively, the peony plants can be blossomed and positioned. Moreover, a downward putting action of the planting basket and a location clamping action of the locating clip are combined together and performed in one time through mechanical transmission, so that the trouble of stepwise operation is omitted, and the culture efficiency of peony plants is effectively promoted.

Abstract: A hydroponic system for cultivation and harvesting of floating aquatic plants is provided. The hydroponic system includes an arrangement of a plurality of vertically-stacked cultivation trays, each tray containing an amount of fluent media on which floating aquatic plants are able to grow. The hydroponic system also includes a media reservoir in which fluent media is contained and subject to treatment before being circulated to the cultivation trays and a harvesting reservoir for receiving aquatic plants grown in the cultivation trays and harvested from the same. The hydroponic system further includes an automated control system that manages media flow into and from the trays and aquatic plant harvesting from the trays. A method of cultivating and harvesting floating aquatic plants is also provided.

Abstract: A plant-growing system includes a planting system configured to hold one or more plants, a lighting system including a light source configured to emit light, a watering system configured to communicate liquid to the planting system, or a controller communicatively coupled with the lighting system or the watering system. The controller operates in a plant-growing mode during a first period and operate in a plant-preservation mode during a second period. In the plant-preservation mode, the controller controls the lighting system and the watering system to cause the one or more plants to grow more slowly than in the plant-growing mode.

Abstract: The present disclosure presents systems and related methods for coupling a plurality of carts in a modular grow tower. One such system comprises a plurality of body frames positioned vertically, such that each body frame include tracks; carts configured to traverse the tracks, where each cart has a first end with at least one male engagement mechanism and a second end with at least one female engagement mechanism. Accordingly, the male engagement mechanism of a first cart is configured to engage the female engagement mechanism of a second cart in a removable manner. The system further includes lift frames located at opposite ends of the body frames, where each lift frame comprises a plurality of lift mechanisms configured to move the carts in a vertical direction between the tracks of the body frames; and/or a modular grow tower computing device configured to control an operation of the modular grow tower.

Abstract: A tower garden for vertical farming includes a vertical column with a plurality of vertical growth modules. The plurality of vertical growth modules are stacked over and connected to each other in a vertical direction and are configured to grow plants in the vertical direction. The tower garden further includes a base positioned below the vertical column. The base is configured to receive a reservoir including an agricultural medium. The tower garden further includes a perforated hose extending from the base of the vertical column in the vertical direction. The perforated hose is configured as a conduit for the agricultural medium to flow upwards and cascade over roots of the plants. Each growth module includes a plastic pocket with a hole.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes hydroponics systems and methods of efficient, configurable nutrient solution grow reservoirs that utilize shared components while creating more space in grow facilities. The hydroponics systems include vertical and horizontal rows or layouts of connected reservoirs that may include movable reservoirs to allow for better user access and reduce aisles, which allows space for more reservoirs in a grow facility. Multiple reservoirs may be connected to one another by irrigation tubing (e.g., as shown in in vertical layouts) or by pipes or irrigation tubing (e.g., as shown in horizontal layouts) and share various multiple system components, such as water pumps, water chillers, air pumps, float valves, and drain out systems. In some implementations, incorporation of the 4″ pipes in the horizontal layouts provides for efficient water circulation in a closed loop configuration throughout the disclosed hydroponic systems.

Abstract: A plant cultivation tray for a gravity-driven plant cultivation system includes: (a) a tray body; (b) a plurality of plant cavities in and open to a top of the tray body for holding plants; (c) a nutrient chamber internal the tray body and in fluid communication with the plant cavities for holding plant nutrient solution. The nutrient chamber is bounded from below by a nutrient chamber bottom wall lying in a horizontal plane. The tray body has at least one underside surface for engagement with a sloped gravity conveyor to rollingly support the plant cultivation tray thereon. The at least one underside surface slopes downwards relative to the horizontal plane from a rear to a front of the tray body for maintaining a generally constant depth of the plant nutrient solution across the nutrient chamber bottom wall when the tray is supported on the gravity conveyor.
