Modular Hydroponic Grow Box

A stackable hydroponic greenhouse system, comprising:

• a base unit including a water reservoir sized and configured to receive a volume of water therein, and a grow tray sized and configured to receive a volume of plant root media therein;
• a first greenhouse module having four lateral walls, an open top end, an open bottom end, and a first interior volume defined by the space between the four lateral walls and top and bottom ends, the first greenhouse module further comprising an air intake aperture and first filter element obstructing the air intake element, the first greenhouse module configured to stack on top of the base unit;
• a second greenhouse module having four lateral walls, a top end, an open bottom end, and a second interior volume defined by the space between the four lateral walls and top and bottom ends;
• and
• a control unit configured to stack on top of the second greenhouse module, the control unit including a control panel, a power module, a lighting component, an air outlet aperture, an exhaust fan positioned proximate the air outlet aperture, and a second filter element obstructing the air outlet aperture;
• wherein the exhaust fan is operable to create a vacuum environment within the first and second interior volumes to create a first airflow pattern wherein air is pulled into the first interior volume through the air intake aperture and first filter element and passes diagonally upward through the second interior volume and control unit before exiting the greenhouse system through the second filter element, exhaust fan, and outlet aperture.

A method of assembling a stackable hydroponic greenhouse system in a compact orientation for efficient storage or shipping, comprising:

• a) providing a stackable hydroponic greenhouse system including:
• a base unit including a water reservoir sized and configured to receive a volume of water therein, and a grow tray sized and configured to receive a volume of plant root media therein, the base unit comprising a housing element having a pyramidal frustum shape;
• a first greenhouse module having four lateral walls, an open top end, an open bottom end, and a first interior volume defined by the space between the four lateral walls and top and bottom ends, the first greenhouse module having an inverted pyramidal frustum shape, the first greenhouse module configured to stack on top of the base unit;
• a second greenhouse module having four lateral walls, a top end, an open bottom end, and a second interior volume defined by the space between the four lateral walls and top and bottom ends, the second greenhouse module configured to stack on top of the first greenhouse module;
• and
• a control unit configured to stack on top of the second greenhouse module, the control unit including a control panel, a power module, and a lighting component;
• b) inverting the first greenhouse module;
• c) placing the inverted first greenhouse module over the control unit such that a substantial portion of the control unit is received within the first interior volume;
• d) placing the second greenhouse module over the inverted first greenhouse module such that at least a portion of the first greenhouse module is received within the second interior volume, and
• e) placing the control unit on top of the second greenhouse module to complete the assembly of the stackable hydroponic greenhouse system into a compact orientation.
