Growing systems and methods

A grow system for managing the growth of plants comprising:

• a plurality of grow chambers, each grow chamber including a bottom wall, at least one side wall and a cover defining an interior space being adapted to provide a controlled aeroponic or hydroponic growth environment, separate from the growth environment provided by the other grow chambers in the stack, for a respective section of a single one of the plants when the grow chamber is positioned in the grow chamber stack;
• each grow chamber including a recess to accommodate a section of the plant as each grow chamber is inserted into the grow chamber stack, the plurality of grow chamber recesses defining a central growth pathway extending through the plurality of stacked grow chambers for accommodating a central portion of the single plant;
• the grow chambers further defining respective lateral growth pathways maintained relative to respective sections of the single plant, the lateral growth pathways extending from the central growth pathway;
• the grow chambers each including a conical apron for at least partially surrounding the plant, the lateral growth pathways being defined by the conical aprons;
• each grow chamber cover including a flexible covering secured to a respective grow chamber, the flexible covering extending upward into the conical apron of an adjacent one of the plurality of grow chambers;
• each grow chamber bottom wall including a bottom wall opening for accommodating the plant, and each grow chamber cover including a cover opening for accommodating the plant, the bottom wall openings and cover openings being aligned to form the central growth pathway;
• and
• a sealing member cooperating with each recess to seal the interior space of the respective grow chamber after the grow chamber is inserted into the grow chamber stack.
