Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and a system for hydroponically growing plants. A pod comprising a top surface, a bottom surface and at least one side surface, said side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface is disclosed. The pod body comprises an indentation. A contour of the top surface of the pod body is larger than a contour of the bottom surface of the body. Additionally or alternatively to the contours geometry, the pod comprises a protective layer forming a barrier between at least part of said indentation and surrounding medium. The system for growing plants comprises the pod and a socket configured to receive the pod. A contour of the bottom surface is smaller than a contour of the socket opening and a contour of the top surface is larger than a contour of the socket opening.

Abstract: Present invention relates to a hydroponic plant grow cabinet, comprising a housing, said housing comprising main plant growing chamber and a pre-growing chamber for seeds/seedlings, main tank and auxiliary tanks for a nutrient solution and pH level regulating solutions, pumps and tubing, lighting means, ventilating means, control means, sensors, display means, loudspeaker and user input means, network communication means, connection to electric main, connections to water mains and sewage.

Abstract: A hydroponic plant grow cabinet including a housing. The housing has a main plant growing chamber and a pre-growing chamber for seeds/seedlings, main tank and auxiliary tanks for a nutrient solution and pH level regulating solutions, pumps and tubing, a light source, a ventilator, a controller, sensors, a display, a loudspeaker, a user input, a network communication device, a connection to an electric main, and connections to water mains and sewage.

Abstract: Present invention relates to a locking and emptying system of a refill cartridge containing nutrients or chemicals, said system comprising at least one replaceable refill cartridge, at least one receiving socket for the refill cartridge, in every receiving socket a locking mechanism of the refill cartridge, discharge means of the refill cartridge and control means of the locking system and for each refill cartridge a emptying container. The control means of the locking system are set to release the empty refill cartridge from the receiving socket only when the emptying container has enough free volume to receive the content of the next refill cartridge.
