INTELLIGENT LIGHT SOURCES TO ENHANCE PLANT RESPONSE

摘要

A grow system is disclosed herein. The grow system can include a grow device that can include a light system including a plurality of light sources, a light position controller, and a processor. The processor can receive information relating to a plant to be grown by the grow system and can, based on that information, identify an operation program that specifies lighting and positioning of the illumination system. Using the operation program, the processor can generate one or several control signals to control the operation of the light system and the light position system.

主权项

1. An active growth controller system comprising:
an active growth control system comprising:
an illumination system configured to illuminate a growth region, wherein one or several plants can be located in the growth region;a memory containing stored instructions, wherein the stored instructions comprise a plurality of operating programs, wherein the operating programs contains parameters for controlling at least one of the climate control system and the illumination system;a processor configured to:
receive first plant data, wherein the first plant data identifies at least one of: a plant type; a plant age; a plant size, and a canopy thickness at a first time;determine a first pulse program, wherein the first pulse program prescribes a pulsing of the illumination system to deliver illumination level by the intermittent powering of one or several light sources of the illumination system;determine a first position of the illumination system with respect to the growth region; andgenerate and send first control signals to a positioning system, wherein the first control signals direct the position system to position the illumination system at the first position.
