  • Patent number: 9073798
    Abstract: The present invention relates to plant fertilizer compositions and methods that may be used over the growth and blooming or fruiting stage of plant life. In some aspects, the present invention relates to blending plant fertilizer constituents and more particularly, the present invention relates to tailoring the ratio of nutrients in a fertilizer composition by colorizing fertilizer constituents according to their nutrient content and mixing the colorized fertilizers until the resultant color matches a reference color associated with a desired fertilizer composition. In other aspects, the present invention relates to plant fertilizers that avoid the unavailability of calcium due to precipitation, and in additional aspects, dual-component plant fertilizers and related kits and methods are provided that permit admixing of only two fertilizer concentrates while avoiding deleterious precipitation of reactive moieties.

  • Patent number: 7861459
    Abstract: A hydroponic liquid nutrient circulation system which includes a plurality of liquid reservoirs, each with a sidewall opening that receives the shank of a split tee device that has separate liquid inlet and outlet passages for flow of liquids into, and out of, the internal space of the reservoirs. The system may include a controller reservoir connected to one or more of these liquid reservoirs.

  • Patent number: 7565765
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pneumatic liquid nutrient dispensing assembly for hydroponically cultivated plants. The assembly includes a reservoir and a liquid nutrient dispenser disposed within the reservoir. The liquid nutrient dispenser includes a substantially coaxial pump body with inner and outer tubes forming a distribution end having a distribution hub and an inlet end having a liquid intake structure. Airflow in an annular duct formed between the walls of the coaxial tubes enters the inner tube through an annular passage and carries liquid nutrient within the inner tube to the distribution hub. Distribution members fluidly connected to the distribution hub direct a flow of liquid nutrients and air to one or more plants.

  • Patent number: 6328992
    Abstract: A transdermal structure is provided for delivering cannabis chemical(s) to one's bloodstream. The structure comprises a backing layer which carries the cannabis chemical(s). The chemicals are contained in a film on the backing layer or within a cavity formed in the backing layer. Alternatively, an opening in a secondary layer that overlies the backing layer may be used to create the cavity. The structure is applied to one's skin so that the cannabis chemicals are in contact with the skin. A polymer material which is mixed with the cannabis and placed in the cavity or a membrane over the cavity may be used to control the flow of cannabis chemical (s) into the bloodstream. In an alternative embodiment, a porous material impregnated with cannabis chemical (s) may be used to hold the chemical(s) in the cavity.
