Vertical Cylindrical Hydroponics Gardens provide optimum use of space and light
It is very hard to beat a vertical cylindrical garden for the optimum use of space, light and air flow. A vertical indoor garden can yield several times more than a 3’ by 3’ or 4’ by 4’ flat garden with a more efficient use of floor space and electricity. This type of garden will appeal to urban gardeners without a lot of room or anyone else wanting to use their resources more efficiently.
A vertical design allows a significant increase in the efficiency of light capture and utilization of space. Because light is emitted from all sides of a bulb, conventional gardens require an array of shades and reflectors to direct the maximum amount of light towards the plants. These compromises result in inconsistent light distribution and an inefficient conversion of light energy to plant production.
The vertical garden neatly overcomes these inefficiencies by wrapping the garden around the lights permitting virtually 100% conversion of light to plant growth. Since the majority of flowers have a vertical growth pattern, vertical lighting is the best to maximize the plant’s potential. When more light penetration occurs, there is more yield.
Multiple lights will produce an overlapping light coverage to give a nearly equal amount of bright light to every plant, something not always possible with flat gardens. Vertical cylindrical garden systems fully utilize the bulbs 360 degree light output.
An open vertical cylindrical design permits the free flow of air around the upright columns. A closed vertical cylindrical design may require a fan to blow the warm air up and out of the unit.
The efficiency and design of vertical cylindrical gardens allows them to:
* Easily double your yield for the same wattage as traditional systems.
* quadruple your yield for the equivalent floor space of traditional systems.
