An aeroponic growing system includes a plurality of parallel vertical aeroponic growing apparatuses each having a closable loop articulated wall made up of vertical strips or panels that are pivotally attached side-by-side together with flexible joints. The motor-driven articulated wall moves on rails as an oblong-shaped carousel. The panels are provided with numerous plant-growing cups such that the growing plant extends outwardly out of the cup while the roots thereof are located inwardly of the wall. A spraying system delivers nutrients to the roots in darkness. On the external side, plants are exposed to controlled lighting provided by a programmable vertical LED system. Every growing step of the plants is optimized and supported by sensors and interactive software. The articulated wall is disengageable from its aeroponic growing apparatus to be displaced along a railing system between a grow room and other areas, and/or inverted for the roots to face outward.

1. An aeroponic growing system, comprising: a grow area and a second area distant from the grow area,an aeroponic growing apparatus located in the grow area;a second apparatus located in the second area,an articulated wall comprising a plurality of panels articulated relative to each other holding a plurality of plant-growing containers adapted for plants to grow therein, anda motorized railing system connecting the aeroponic growing apparatus and the second apparatus, and adapted to selectively displace the articulated wall between the aeroponic growing apparatus and the second apparatus. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the aeroponic growing apparatus is adapted to handle the articulated wall as a carousel, and wherein the aeroponic growing apparatus comprises a lighting system and a nutrient delivery system. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the nutrient delivery system is located inside the carousel and the lighting system is located outside the carousel. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the articulated wall when handled by the aeroponic growing apparatus forms a carousel having a first face facing inward and a second face facing outward, and wherein the motorized railing system comprises a direction switching means permitting by moving the articulated wall through the direction switching means to invert orientation of the articulated wall thereby having the first face of the carousel facing outward. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the motorized railing system comprises: an aerial rail from which is suspended the articulated wall; anda driven wall engaging means adapted to displace the articulated wall along the aerial rail. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the articulated wall has a first face and a second face opposed to the first face, and wherein the engaging means engages both the first face and the second face when displacing the articulated wall. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the articulated wall comprises a top edge and wherein the wall engaging means is adapted to engage the articulated wall about the top edge. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein at least one of the panels comprises a rail connecting means adapted to cooperate with the aerial rail to suspend the panel from the aerial rail. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the plant-growing containers are mounted to the wall. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the wall is opaque and watertight. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the wall comprises a first face and a second face opposed to the first face, wherein the plant-growing containers define conduits between the first face and the second face, and wherein a plant and a planting medium combination is adapted to block each of the conduits, thereby preventing light and water to travel between the first face and the second face through the conduits. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the plant-growing containers comprises a sloped face facilitating the plants growing therein to have a stem section extending at least partially upward about the first face and a root section hanging about the second face. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the articulated wall comprises a plurality of openings of an opening shape and wherein the plant-growing containers have a base having a base shape adapted to cooperate with the opening shape to provide a light-blocking and watertight cooperation therebetween. 14. The system of claim 2, wherein the aeroponic growing apparatus comprises a pan extending about a lower edge of the articulated wall when forming the carousel, and wherein the pan is fluidly connected to the nutrient delivery system. 15. The system of claim 2, wherein the articulated wall defines a close loop when forming a carousel defining a light-insulated chamber therein. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the grow area and the second area are defining two environmentally controlled areas closable from each other. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the railing system is adapted to selectively disengage the articulated wall therefrom. 18. The system of claim 1, further comprising an other aeroponic growing apparatus, wherein the other aeroponic growing apparatus handles an other articulated wall, and wherein the motorized railing system is adapted to displace the articulated walls independently from each other. 19. The system of claim 2, wherein the articulated wall comprises N panels housing the plants, wherein the nutrient delivery system is adapted to deliver the nutrient to the plants of M panels, wherein M
