Systems, methods, and devices for aeroponic plant growth

An aeroponic system for supporting efficient low-resource-usage plant growth, the aeroponic system comprising:

• a housing having a top portion and an internal cavity, the top portion comprising one or more openings for a stalk of a plant to pass therethrough, the internal cavity forming or comprising one or more root chambers for positioning therein of roots of the plant, the internal cavity is substantially sealed from an external environment and is configured to provide a controlled environment that can optimize plant growth efficiency;
• one or more sealing members coupled to the one or more openings, each sealing member configured to substantially conform to the stalk of the plant and to substantially isolate a canopy of the plant from the one or more root chambers;
• one or more root chamber sensors configured to detect at least one of oxygen, carbon dioxide, relatively humidity, or temperature within the one or more root chambers;
• one or more nutrient storage reservoirs for storage of plant nutrients;
• one or more pressurized air sources;
• one or more air-assisted nozzles configured to be fluidly coupled to the one or more nutrient storage reservoirs and the one or more pressurized air sources, the one or more air-assisted nozzles configured to introduce atomized nutrient solution into the one or more root chambers;
• a temperature control system coupled to the housing and configured to control a temperature of the one or more root chambers without introducing outside air into the internal cavity, the temperature control system comprising at least one of a thermoelectric device or a tubing system on or embedded within a wall enclosing the internal cavity, wherein the thermoelectric device is configured to selectively heat or cool the one or more root chambers based on a direction of electrical current passing through the thermoelectric device, wherein the tubing system is configured to selectively heat or cool the one or more root chambers based on a fluid passing through the tubing system;
• and
• a control system operably coupled to at least the temperature control system and the one or more air-assisted nozzles, the control system configured to:
• access in an electronic database desired parameter ranges associated with at least one of oxygen, carbon dioxide, relatively humidity, or temperature within the one or more root chambers;
• and
• control the temperature control apparatus and the one or more air-assisted nozzles to maintain environmental parameters associated with the one or more root chambers within the desired parameter ranges.
