Abstract:
Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce cannabis for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. Methods to method to separate volatiles from cannabis are described. Methods to asexually clone a plurality of cannabis plants are also provided.

Claim (Index 45):
A method to grow cannabis, the method includes:\n (a) providing a source of water; (b) after step (a), passing the water through a first water treatment unit to form a first treated water, the first water treatment unit includes one or more selected from the group consisting of carbon, activated carbon, an adsorbent, a cation, and an anion; (c) after step (b), passing the first treated water through a second water treatment unit to form a second treated water, the second water treatment unit is configured to remove undesirable compounds from the first treated water, the undesirable compounds are comprised of one or more selected from the group consisting of dissolved organic chemicals, viruses, bacteria, and particulates; (d) after step (c), mixing the second treated water with a macro-nutrient, a micro-nutrient, and a pH adjustment solution to form a liquid mixture having a pH ranging from 5.15 to 6.75; (e) after step (d), pressurizing the liquid mixture to form a pressurized liquid mixture; (f) after step (e), transferring the pressurized liquid mixture to a plurality of growing assemblies; (g) after step (f), illuminating the plurality of growing assemblies with a plurality of lights; (h) after step (g), growing cannabis within the plurality of growing assemblies; (i) after step (h), harvesting the cannabis; (j) after step (i), grinding the cannabis; (k) after step (j), extracting volatiles from the cannabis with a first solvent to form a first solvent and volatiles mixture; (l) after step (k), separating at least a portion of the volatiles from the first solvent and volatiles mixture; (m) after step (l), mixing the volatiles with a second solvent to form a second volatiles and solvent mixture; (n) after step (m), cooling the second volatiles and solvent mixture; (o) after step (n), filtering the second volatiles and solvent mixture; and (p) after step (o), evaporating at least a portion of the second solvent from the second volatiles and solvent mixture to create concentrated volatiles that have reduced amount of second solvent relative to the second volatiles and solvent mixture; wherein:\n the macro-nutrient is comprised of one or more selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur; \n the micro-nutrient is comprised of one or more selected from the group consisting of iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum, copper, zinc, sodium, chlorine, and silicon; \n the pH adjustment solution is comprised of one or more from the group consisting acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, an organic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid; \n the first solvent includes one or more selected from the group consisting of acetone, alcohol, butane, carbon dioxide, ethanol, gas, gaseous carbon dioxide, hexane, isobutane, isopropanol, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid, naphtha, pentane, propane, R134 refrigerant gas, subcritical carbon dioxide, supercritical carbon dioxide, and vapor; \n the second solvent includes one or more selected from the group consisting of a liquid, acetone, alcohol, oil, and ethanol.
