Abstract
The invention relates to methods and systems for growing plants by initiating growth of a plant in a first growing facility and finishing the growth of the plant in a second growing facility. The invention also relates to methods of growing plants by exposing a plant to a light emitting diode after a period of initial growth without LED exposure.
Claims31
A method of growing a plant, comprising:
- growing a plant from a seed, seedling, or immature plant in a first growing facility;
- transporting the plant to a second growing facility;
- and
- exposing the plant to a light emitting diode (LED) in the second growing facility.
1 more element
The method of any one of claims 1-9, wherein the LED emits a wavelength between 440 nm to 495 nm and a wavelength between 615 nm to 750 nm.
A system for growing a plant, comprising:
- a first growing facility comprising an area configured to initiate growth of a plant or seed;
- a second growing facility comprising an area configured to allow finishing of the growth of the plant,
- wherein the finishing comprises exposing the plant to a light emitting diode (LED).
A method of growing a plant, comprising:
- exposing a plant to a light emitting diode (LED) after a period of initial growth without LED exposure,
- wherein the LED exposure comprises a blue light having a wavelength between 440 nm to 495 nm and a red light having a wavelength between 615 nm to 750 nm.
