  • VERTICAL CULTIVATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20230345892
    Abstract: A vertical cultivation system and method. The vertical cultivation system includes a vertical carousel with associated platforms that each hold a plant. The carousel moves the platforms through different levels during the daily growing cycle and the plants receive treatments at each level. The treatments include irrigation, lighting, environmental control, pest management, and deep-water culture. The movement of the carousel (e.g., its speed and rotational positioning) is controlled by a controller that receives input from sensors configured with the plants. The sensors communicate sensed readings (e.g., moister levels) and the controller controls the carousel's movement based on the readings. When at ground level, the plants are held at a level that is ergonomic for pruning and other plant maintenance activities.
