Abstract:
A method of growing plants includes providing a plant growing apparatus that includes a vertical stack plant assembly including plant pot holders for pots, a movable light array adjustable to allow effective light for the plants, and an outer shell assembly including at least one of a wall, a floor, a ceiling creating a grow room. Potted plants are placed in the grow room, and light, water, and nutrients are provided to the plants, where the light is provided by the movable light array, water is provided by a watering system, and nutrients are provided by a nutrient delivery system. A plant growing apparatus includes a vertical stack plant assembly including plant pot holders for pots, a movable light array adjustable to allow effective light for the plants, and an outer shell assembly including at least one of a wall, a floor, and a ceiling creating a grow room.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the nutrient delivery system comprises:\n a nutrient delivery fluid; a canister in fluid communication with the nutrient delivery fluid; and a nutrient block inside of the canister, wherein the nutrient block includes a plurality of nutrient layers including a core portion and a shell layer, where the core portion and shell layer refer to relative locations of the layers along a cross-section of the block that is orthogonal to a longitudinal length of the block, and the core portion is an inner layer relative to the shell layer, nutrients are present in multiple layers surrounding a core portion of the nutrient block, wherein the outer layers of the nutrient block include nutrients that are beneficial to plants at a young age, the inner layers of the nutrient block include nutrients that are beneficial to plants at an older age, wherein upon exposure of the nutrient block to the nutrient delivery fluid, the shell layer of the nutrient block dissolves or erodes into the nutrient delivery fluid that carries the nutrients to the plants, thereby creating a new shell layer from the core portion.
