Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods for growing marijuana plants, particularly for regulated purposes, for example medical purposes or in some jurisdictions recreational purposes, have automated subsystems with sensors to provide feedback information about system, apparatus and plant growth parameters to one or more controllers so that the one or more controllers can alter one or more parameters to provide optimal conditions for the growing and harvesting of the marijuana plants. In particular aspects, the systems, apparatuses and methods provide for control of odors produced during the growing of marijuana, root management of the marijuana plants and control over important levels of chemicals provided to the plants, for example enzymes and flavor additives.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for growing marijuana plants comprising:\n a growth chamber containing a climate controlled micro-climate and having an air inlet, an air outlet, and at least one sensor for monitoring humidity; a heating-ventilation-and-cooling (HVAC) system comprising\n one or more air moving devices configured to move air from the air inlet through the growth chamber to the air outlet, and \n at least two sets of filters comprising\n a first set of filters for the air outlet comprising at least a carbon filter and \n a second set of filters for the air inlet comprising at least a filter for airborne contaminants; \n \n at least one marijuana plant support structure situated in the growth chamber, the plant support structure configured to aeroponically support a marijuana plant with exposure of roots of the marijuana plant to air while permitting an irrigation solution to be sprayed on the roots, the plant support structure comprising a tube that supports the marijuana plant so that the roots are within the tube and a stem is outside the tube when the plant is supported by the tube, the roots within a root zone inside the tube and the stem within a stalk zone outside the tube; a water management system in fluid communication with the plant support structure configured to deliver water and other chemical components to at least the roots of the marijuana plant; a controller in electronic communication with the at least one sensor, the controller configured to control the growth chamber, water management system or both in response to a signal from the at least one sensor; wherein signals from the at least one sensor prompt the controller to operate the HVAC; and, p 1  wherein the controller is configured to manage humidity in the root zone separately from humidity in the stalk zone.
