Claim 7:
8. A system, comprising:
at least one lighting array comprising:
at least one LED board including:
a plurality of LEDs;
a plurality of LED placement patterns including groups of the plurality of LEDs, wherein each LED placement pattern is positioned to provide light to at least one plant;
at least one lighting channel, wherein each LED placement pattern includes at least one LED associated with the at least one lighting channel; and
power signal lines configured to drive the plurality of LEDs and control the at least one lighting channel of each LED placement pattern;

at least one light tray, wherein the at least one lighting array is mounted on an underside of the at least one light tray;
a grow module comprising:
the at least one light tray; and
at least one growing tray adapted to hold at least one plant vessel, the growing tray comprising:
a plurality of tray insert openings configured to accept a plurality of tray inserts, the plurality of tray inserts, each comprising:
a plurality of tray locking points configured to secure each of the plurality of tray inserts within the plurality of tray insert openings;
a vessel cavity configured to hold a plant vessel; and
a plurality of plant vessel securement points configured to secure the at least one plant vessel within the vessel cavity;

wherein the grow module is configured to hold the at least one growing tray and the at least one light tray in a vertically stacked configuration with the at least one light tray disposed over the at least one growing tray;

a plurality of fertigation holes on a bottom of the vessel cavity configured to receive fertigation needles;
a fertigation system including:
a tray movement system for extracting the growing tray from the grow module and placing the growing tray back into the grow module;
a tray elevator for lowering and raising the growing tray;
a first pump in fluid communication with a fresh water supply; and
a nozzle manifold in fluid communication with at least one of the first pump and the fresh water supply, the nozzle manifold comprising:
a manifold header; and
a plurality of nozzles in fluid communication with the manifold header, wherein the plurality of nozzles are configured with the fertigation needles that pass through the fertigation holes to inject at least one of nutrients supplied by the first pump and water from the fresh water supply into the at least one plant vessel, on the growing tray;

at least one power supply configured to selectively provide power to the power signal lines of the at least one lighting array; and
at least one control circuit connected to the at least one power supply, the control circuit configured to selectively instruct the at least one power supply to provide the power to drive the at least one lighting channel in each LED placement pattern.
