Method for monitoring growth of plants and generating a plant grow schedule

A method for monitoring growth of plants within an agricultural facility comprising:

• accessing a series of ambient conditions captured by a fixed sensor unit, arranged proximal a grow area within the agricultural facility, during a first time period;
• writing the series of ambient conditions to a corpus of plant records associated with plants occupying a group of modules within the grow area based on known locations of modules within the grow area, the corpus of plant records comprising a first set of plant records associated with a first set of plants occupying a first module, in the group of modules, during the first time period;
• dispatching a mover to autonomously deliver the first module from the grow area to an imaging station within the agricultural facility during the first time period;
• accessing a set of module-level data captured by the imaging station when occupied by the first module during a first period of time;
• interpreting intermediate outcomes of a first set of plants occupying the first module during the first time period based on the set of module-level data;
• writing intermediate outcomes of the first set of plants to the first set of plant records associated with the first set of plants;
• and
• deriving a first set of relationships between ambient conditions and intermediate outcomes of plants grown within the agricultural facility based on the corpus of plant records associated with plants grown within the agricultural facility.

A method for monitoring growth of plants within an agricultural facility comprising:

• during a first time period, by a mover deployed within the agricultural facility:
• autonomously navigating to a first module at a grow area;
• autonomously navigating the first module through an imaging station within the agricultural facility;
• and
• autonomously returning the first module to the grow area;
• accessing a set of module-level data captured by the imaging station when occupied by the first module, at a first frequency, during a first period of time;
• interpreting intermediate outcomes of a first set of plants occupying the first module during the first time period based on the set of module-level data;
• writing intermediate outcomes of the first set of plants to a first set of plant records associated with the first set of plants;
• during a second time period succeeding the first time period, by the mover, autonomously delivering the first module from the grow area to a transfer station within the agricultural facility;
• for each plant in the first set of plants:
• interpreting a final outcome of the plant based on plant-level data captured by the transfer station while transferring the plant out of the first module;
• and
• writing the final outcome of the plant to a plant record, in the first set of plant records, associated with the plant;
• and
• deriving a set of relationships between intermediate outcomes and final outcomes of plants grown within the agricultural facility based on the first set of plant records.
