PHOTOSYNTHETIC GROW MODULE AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

A photosynthetic grow module including a fully enclosed ISO container, within which resides a removable cartridge including a lighting system and hydroponic system, is described. The removable cartridges are configured to be readily removed from within an ISO container for planting and harvesting, and readily inserted into an ISO container for growing. The removable cartridges are typically removed from and inserted into an ISO container by use of a fork lift or crane. The photosynthetic grow modules are typically adapted to stack and interlock one atop another, without requiring additional framework or other support structure. Each photosynthetic grow module can include its own heat pump for independent heating and cooling of individual modules, and the units can have a coating within which ceramic microspheres and aluminum flakes are embedded. Lighting systems can include fluorescent lamps combined with LED lamps.
