Abstract
A flowering plant growing system utilizes a flowering plant growth assembly that enables the limbs of a flowering plant to be retained and supported along a bud platform to spread the growth out in a planar configuration. This type of growth arrangement may stimulate the plant to produce buds that are distributed across the bud platform and may grow up from the bud platform toward a cover. The height of the bud platform and cover may be adjustable as they are secured to vertical supports by retainers.

A flowering plant growing system comprising:
- a flowering plant growing assembly comprising:
- a) a deck comprising:
- i) a top deck board;
- ii) a bottom deck board;
- and
- iii) a pallet-jack opening configured between the top and bottom deck boards and configured to allow a pallet-jack fork to fit therein;

- iv) a deck grid extending over the top deck board;
- wherein the deck is a portable deck and configured for movement via a pallet-jack or a fork truck;
- b) a plurality of vertical supports, wherein the plurality of vertical supports are coupled to the deck and extend upward from the deck;
- c) a bud platform coupled to the plurality of vertical supports and retained above the deck, wherein the bud platform is vertically positionable along the plurality of vertical supports that are coupled to the deck and extend upward from the deck, and wherein the bud platform comprises:
- a plurality of fastener grid pieces forming a fastener grid having grid openings;
- wherein a portion of a flowering plant is secured to the fastener grid thereby fixing a plurality of buds coupled to the flowering plant in close proximity to the bud platform;
- wherein the fastener grid is detachably attachable to and extends over the bud platform, wherein the fastener grid further comprises fastener grid slots configured to extend around a limb of said flowering plant;
- d) a cover that is retained above the bud platform to secure portions of said flowering plant thereto and wherein the cover comprises a plurality of cover openings to allow light to pass therethrough;
- wherein the cover is vertically adjustable above the bud platform along a plurality of cover vertical supports extending up from the bud platform;
- and
