System, method and apparatus for optimizing the efficient use of resources in a controlled agricultural environment

摘要

Disclosed are systems, methods, and apparatus for optimizing the efficient use of resources in a controlled agricultural environment. Various inputs to a controlled agricultural environment that includes multiple plants are controlled based on nutritional information about the multiple plants. Third party information such as power rate information from the power company is accessible by the system and may be used to control input to the agricultural environment. For example, if a power company provides incentives or discounts to avoid using electricity during a period, the system of the present invention will only be used at times other than a period to use the discounts or incentives. A signal will be sent to the electrical interface to power the light source to the controlled environment.
