Patent ID: 10477786

Abstract:
A two-stage aeroponic growing system and method provides a cylindrical container and a sloped container that independently, or in conjunction, work to expose vegetation to nutrients, liquids, and light in two successive stages. A substrate, such as a Grodan® plug, initiates growth of the vegetation. The cylindrical and sloped containers provide a surface for the roots and fibers of the substrate to engage, and also have various apertures on all surfaces that enable 360° exposure to nutrients, liquids, and light. In the second stage of growth, the substrate snugly positions inside the cylindrical container. The sloped container snugly retains the cylindrical container. The sloped container has a sloped lid of about 6° that creates greater space for retaining multiple cylindrical containers. Drain holes and spray nozzles help control moisture exposure in the sloped container to create a controlled environment for the second stage growth of the vegetation.
