Vertical hydroponic plant production apparatus

A method for allowing vertical hydroponic greenhouse crop production, the method comprising:

• providing a hollow grow tube having a front face, a back face, a first end, and a second end;
• forming a slot in the front face of the grow tube;
• inserting a media material into the grow tube;
• positioning a cap over the first end of the grow tube;
• forming a plurality of holes in the cap;
• providing a nutrient solution reservoir;
• submerging the second end of the grow tube in the reservoir;
• extending tubing from the reservoir through the holes;
• pumping nutrient solution from the reservoir into the grow tube through the tubing;
• and
• positioning the grow tube in a horizontal position, vertical position, or any position between the horizontal position and the vertical position allowing inclined, multi-angled crop production and multi-storied conveyor style crop production.

A vertical hydroponic plant production apparatus for allowing vertical hydroponic greenhouse crop production, the apparatus comprising:

• a hollow grow tube having a front face, a back face, a first end, and a second end;
• a slot formed in the front face of the grow tube;
• a media material insertable into the grow tube, the media material being composed of two halves of material split down the middle with a bolt spanning a width of the two halves for joining the two halves;
• a pulling hook having a flat portion for grasping the bolt for inserting and removing the media material from the grow tube;
• a “U” bracket having a receiving portion and an anchoring portion, the “U” bracket mounted to the rear face of the grow tube;
• a “Z” bracket having a vertical, upward facing tongue portion receivable within the receiving portion of the “H” bracket, the “Z” bracket mounted in a predetermined location;
• an aperture formed in the “Z” bracket for receiving a fastening mechanism;
• a cap positionable over the first end of the grow tube;
• a plurality of holes formed in the cap;
• a nutrient solution reservoir, the second end of the grow tube being submerged in the reservoir;
• tubing extending from the reservoir through the holes;
• and
• a pump for pumping nutrient solution from the reservoir into the grow tube through the tubing;
• wherein the grow tube is positionable in a horizontal position, vertical position, or any position between the horizontal position and the vertical position allowing inclined, multi-angled crop production and multi-storied conveyor style crop production;
• and
• wherein as weight is applied to the tongue portion of the “Z” bracket through the placement of the grow tube, downward torque is applied across the “Z” bracket causing a clutch action to affix the “Z” bracket tightly to the predetermined location.
