  • Publication number: 20240081207
    Abstract: An aeroponic grow tower is provided. The tower includes a modular wall system located between a cover and a base. The wall system includes a plurality of individual flat, four-sided wall panels. The identical wall panels are removably connected along their side edges into one or more levels having a polygonal shape. Levels are aligned and stack atop the base and each other. The wall panels have openings defining grow sites configured to support plants such that foliage extends to the outside and roots hang inside the tower. A pump delivers nutrient solution from the base to a high-rotational speed spray nozzle which aerosolizes the solution. The spray also impacts the interior surface further aerosolizing the solution. Channels direct solution running down the interior surface to the grow sites which include secondary reservoirs to provide a further source of nutrient solution in extreme temperatures and reduce power usage. A ventilation system and seedling covers are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210212276
    Abstract: An aeroponic grow tower is provided. The tower includes a modular wall system located between a cover and a base. The wall system is comprised of a plurality of individual flat, four-sided wall panels. The identical wall panels are removably connected along their side edges via a click-lock, semi-spherical, elongated ball joint into one or more levels having a polygonal shape. Levels are aligned and stack atop the base and each other via half-lap joints at the top and bottom sides forming a flush interior surface. The wall panels have openings defining grow sites configured to support substrate and plants such that foliage extends to the outside and roots hang inside the tower. A pump delivers nutrient solution from the base up to a high-rotational speed spray nozzle which aerosolizes the nutrient solution which gently rains down upon the roots. The spray also impacts the interior surface further aerosolizing the solution.
