Revolve your Garden for Optimum Space and Light Utilization
Use 1/3 of the space and power of traditional tables or garden space.
You can grow up to 240 plants in a four foot x five foot space by utilizing a hydroponics product that looks and works like a ferris wheel with trays of plants set between two rims. Plants are inserted into 4″ Rockwool type cubes, which are secured in the “quick drain trays”. The garden is motorized and the trays revolve 24 Hours a day around
two center fixed, fan-cooled HID Lamps. It takes approximately one hour for the trays to make one revolution.
Because light radiates out in all directions from a bulb, all rays go directly to the plants and are not lost by having to be redirected downward by a reflector. This direct lighting also will increase the grow light efficiency by directing light into the plant canopy at different angles more commonly known as SHADOW-SHIFTING, and will reduce heat to each plant because the lights never stand still over any one part of the garden. Less heat and higher lighting efficiency means healthier plants and higher yields by as much as 10 to 15%.
The ROTOGRO garden is a flood and drain system. A pump is placed in the bottom reservoir and when switched on, fills the top reservoir to desired depth. The “Quick drain Trays” are then revolved throught the nutrient/water mixture, feeding the plants. Once all plants have been fed, the pump is switched off, letting the nutrient/water mix drain back into the main reservoir.
Because the Rotogro Garden is made from Polyethylene (plastic) and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), it is lightweight and easy to clean. Wheels under the unit make it easy to move.
For many years, society has been trying to find a way to grow crops year round while striving to maximize yields while minimizing costs. Well, look no further, the Rotogro system does just that. The specially designed hydroponic wheel increases your yield, while decreasing your power consumption.
Electricity consumption is calculated by multiplying the Wattage by Hours by Days by $. Eg: The 240 unit is powered by 2-600 watt HPS bulbs, so equals 1200 watts, or 1.2 Kw by 12 hours = 14.4 kw per day, by 30days = 43.2 kw per month. Multiply that by the local electricity rate to obtain your monthly electricity charge.
