A controlled environment agricultural system having a self-regulating grow module that automatically waters the plant without over-watering or under-watering. The system may further comprise a self-regulating lift mechanism with an optic sensor, the lift mechanism capable of raising, lowering, and rotating each grow module independently of any other grow module, to monitor and provide individual attention to individual plants within a crop in order to maximize growth and plant yield. 1. A plant growing system , comprising: i. a base,', 'ii. a tower operatively connected to the base, the tower comprising a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a plurality of sidewalls therebetween connecting the top surface to the bottom surface, the tower defining a main axis perpendicular to and passing through the top and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface attached to the base in a rotatable manner,', 'iii. a plurality of lift arms, one lift arm attached to one sidewall, each lift arm configured to move in a vertical manner independently of another lift arm along its respective sidewall,', 'iv. a plurality of lift plates, each lift plate defining a central axis parallel to the main axis, one lift plate attached to one lift arm, wherein the lift plates revolve about the tower in a planetary path, each lift plate configured to rotate about their respective central axis,', 'v. a central gear operatively connected to the bottom surface of the tower, wherein rotation of the central gear causes rotation of the tower about the main axis,', 'vi. a first motorized gear operatively connected to the central gear, operation of which causes the central gear to rotate,', 'vii. a plurality of lift gears, one lift gear operatively connected to one lift arm, wherein rotation of the lift gears cause vertical movement of the respective lift arms,', 'viii. a second motorized gear operatively connectable to each lift gear, wherein when one of the lift gears is operatively ...
