Grow Chamber

Overview

A Grow Chamber is a self-contained module within the system, designed to provide an independent, controlled environment for plant growth.

System Design

Commercially available grow tents for indoor plant cultivation function as individual Grow Chambers, providing structure and isolating the growing environment.

A bucket at the centre of the tent acts as a Root Chamber. It contains multiple Plant Slots that hold net pots filled with growing medium, where seeds are planted.

As the seeds germinate, their stems grow upward to form a canopy, while roots develop below. The Fogponics System delivers a fine, nutrient-rich mist to the roots, generated by an ultrasonic mist maker submerged in a water-nutrient solution.

Lighting panels positioned in the corners provide the necessary wavelengths for growth. The walls of the Tent and the Root Chamber are lined with Mylar, a reflective material that enhances light distribution for the plants.

The Ventilation system maintains airflow and regulates the temperature within the Grow chamber.

Hardware Components

The hardware components were sourced from easily accessible suppliers, such as Canadian Tire and Amazon.
