Abstract: A growing system for providing fluids to a plurality of growing assemblies using only a single pump and fluid source. The growing system generally includes a single fluid source such as a reservoir from which fluids are drawn by a single pump. A main manifold connected to the pump outlet splits the fluids drawn from the fluid source into a plurality of feeder pipes. Each of the feeder pipes provides fluid to a separate growing assembly; with the present invention providing support for a plurality of growing assemblies. Each growing assembly comprises an inlet manifold for receiving the fluids, a plurality of growing pipes for providing the fluids to a plurality of planters, and a drainage device for discharging fluids back into the fluid source for further use.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a grow board may include an outer member that may be engaged with an inner member such that a grow media may be positioned therebetween, secured, and/or tightened by the engagement between the inner and outer members. The outer member may have one or more slots formed therein to allow a plant to grow from the grow media through the slots, wherein the root of the plant may be positioned adjacent the inner member. The inner member may be configured with risers along the periphery and interior to provide a sufficient gap between stacked grow boards to allow for improved penetration of light and air into the seeded and stacked grow boards to aid in seed germination.

Abstract: A self-contained plant cloning system and method for stimulating root growth from a stem of a plant. The system includes a reservoir having a base, one or more sidewalls, and an open upper end, defining an interior volume that can hold liquid. A rack rests on the upper end of the reservoir and can support a plant therein. A pump and cooling element are disposed in the reservoir and can be submerged in the liquid. The submersible pump is connected to one or more sprayers that mist liquid on the stems in order to stimulate root growth. As the pump is operated, it circulates the liquid in the reservoir. Liquid directly contacts the cooling element as it circulates in order to efficiently regulate the temperature of the environment in the reservoir.

Abstract: A storage system is described where goods are stored 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 then 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, and data logging. The provision of these services within individual containers rather than across the system as a whole, allows for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.

Abstract: A kit for providing stem, branch and foliage support for a hydroponic planting, the kit being supported upon a rim of a bucket and including at least one hoop shaped component exhibiting an open interior. A basket is supported by the hook shaped component so that an apertured and depth extending portion of the basket extends downwardly past its open interior. A plurality of aggregate, along with a seedling, is placed within the basket aperture interior so that the same is immersed in a liquid filling an interior of the bucket. The hoop shaped components exhibit vertically extending and elongated tier defining portions arranged in perimeter defined fashion about the component. Each of the tier defining portions have upper and lower inter-engaging locations and allowing for stacking of any additional number of components in vertically spaced apart and tiered defining fashion.
