A method of using a plant cultivation system, the method comprising:

• providing the plant cultivation system, said plant cultivation system comprising:
• at least one magazine for retaining at least one seed or plant capsule, a lighting device, and a fluid circulation system;
• a number of capsule reservoirs each including a perimeter wall defining a top opening along a top face of the at least one magazine, the top opening facing upwards, each of the capsule reservoirs configured to receive the at least one seed or plant capsule exposed to atmosphere through the top opening;
• at least one reflector having an aperture facing downward at a bottom face of the at least one magazine, the at least one reflector substantially concealing the lighting device from direct viewing, wherein the number of capsule reservoirs includes two capsule reservoirs, each of the two capsule reservoirs arranged adjacent to the reflector on opposite sides thereof such that the reflector divides the two capsule reservoirs and their respective top openings from each other along a horizontal axis of the at least one magazine;
• at least one pair of vertical walls and a common bottom surface forming a fluid channel, the fluid channel extending alongside the number of capsule reservoirs and the at least one reflector aperture of the magazine;
• and
• flowing fluid into and/or out of at least one of the capsule reservoirs via the fluid circulation system to hydrate the at least one seed or plant capsule.
