The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a hydroponic system for automated climate and nutrient control designed to maximize plant growth in a fully enclosed chamber (constructed with 18 mm plywood panels and aluminium composite lining). The system comprises a grow light (1) for full-spectrum illumination, a heating system (2) and cooling system (6) to regulate temperature, a humidifier (3) integrated with an anti-bacterial filter (5) for air sterilization, and a circuit box (4) with an ATmega microcontroller and relays for automated control. Nutrient and water management is achieved via a main water tank (9), auxiliary tanks, dosing pumps, PVC pipes (7), and motors (8) to circulate a pre-formulated solution. Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, pH, TDS, and water level, while an ESP8266 module provides cloud connectivity for remote monitoring and control through a web application. Wheels (11) enable mobility. The system includes Germination Mode and automated nutrient dosing, providing energy-efficient, IoT-enabled precision hydroponics."
