High-growth system and method for cultivating autoflowering cannabis

Abstract

High-growth plant cultivation techniques are provided that create efficient, optimized growing conditions, including a high concentration of photosynthetically active radiation (“PAR”) in terms of photon flux density, and with extremely low heat. In some aspects of the invention, these techniques comprise a specialized growth chamber and a control system that promote an enhanced level of growth, particularly for autoflowering cannabis. In addition, aspects of the invention create an accessible, user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing new type of display for a plant, ideal for cultivating cannabis and, in particular, autoflowering cannabis. The unique combination of techniques set forth in the invention create high yields of cannabis plant matter (up to 3 or 4 times greater than other methods) in substantially less time (just 60 days from seed to harvest).

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for aiding the cultivation of autoflowering  cannabis , comprising:
 a chamber having a front end, a rear end, a top side, a bottom side, a right side, a left side, and a plurality of walls extending between the rear end, the top side, the bottom side, the right side, and the left side,
 wherein the chamber has at least one passive air intake, at least one air exhaust port each integrated to at least one air exhaust fan, 
 wherein each of the at least one passive air intake and the at least one air exhaust port are equipped with a carbon-based filter, 
 wherein the at least one air intake is equipped with an anti-pest mesh; 
 wherein at least one of the at least one air exhaust port is placed on the top side or proximate to the top side; 
 wherein at least one of the at least one passive air intake is placed on the bottom side or proximate to the bottom side; 
 wherein the bottom side is configured to support at least one autoflowering  cannabis  plant; 
   a light array, comprised of a plurality of light-emitting diodes, the light array being on the top side or proximate to the top side and configured to radiate light towards the bottom side; and   a plurality of fans, the plurality of fans being configured to create a vortex of airflow within the chamber, such that when at least one autoflowering  cannabis  plant is placed in the chamber, the plurality of fans create the vortex of airflow around the at least one autoflowering  cannabis  plant within the chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vortex of airflow is directed from the at least one passive air intake placed on the bottom side or proximate to the bottom side towards the at least one air exhaust placed on the top side or proximate to the top side. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of fans is placed on the bottom side or proximate to the bottom side. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of fans is placed on a midpoint of the chamber between the top side and bottom side or proximate to a midpoint of the chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of fans is placed on the top side or proximate to the top side. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the plurality of fans is placed on a midpoint of the chamber between the top side and bottom side or proximate to a midpoint of the chamber, and at least one of the plurality of fans is placed on the top side or proximate to the top side. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fans comprises four or more fans. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fans comprises six or more fans. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of fans is placed so as to allow air to abut both sides of each of the plurality of fans. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of fans has a capacity within a range of 30-60 cubic feet per minute of air movement. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one fan configured to create airflow toward at least one exposed stem of the at least one autoflowering  cannabis  plant. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one fan configured to create airflow toward the at least one exposed stem is configured to create airflow toward a lowest region of the at least one exposed stem. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one fan configured to create airflow toward the at least one exposed stem is configured to create airflow toward within four inches of a lowest region of the at least one exposed stem. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a set of legs on an exterior surface of the bottom side configured so as to create a space beneath the bottom side. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a front door attached to the front end, the front door having a child-proof magnetic lock with matching unlocking tool. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the light array produces light within the photosynthetically active radiation ranges of autoflowering  cannabis  to a greater degree than light outside the photosynthetically active radiation ranges for autoflowering  cannabis.    
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the light array creates photosynthetically active radiation of at least 1,500 mol m −2 s −1 . 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the light array creates photosynthetically active radiation of between 1,500 and 2,000 mol m −2 s −1 . 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the light array creates photosynthetically active radiation of between 2,000 and 2,500 mol m −2 s −1 . 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the light array draws between 100 and 200 Watts of power.
