Vertical growing is one of the latest breakthroughs in hydroponic growing techniques. It allows you to get significantly more yield from your available light sources - 'even on a bad day', the EcoSystem will get you twice the yield from 2 x 600 watt lights than you could get from any other growing method using the same light sources. By packing up to 200 plants (with an optimum of 140 plants) into a 1.35m2 area, this vertical system offers the only solution to growing this many plants in such a limited space. Standing just 157cm tall, the EcoSystem can accommodate 20 x Cultilene Maxxima Rockwool Slabs (the best for vertical growing - see related items right) vertically mounted around two air cooled 600 watt lights. Your plants then grow horizontally towards the light and you flower them very young for a very short final plant size. With this method each plant will yield less, but because you are able to pack so many into such a small space, your overall yield is dramatically increased. It is these benefits that have brought vertical systems to the attention of many market gardeners as well as NASA and Antartic survey projects. You simply can't get this kind of productivity by growing any other way!
Once set-up, the EcoSystem is extremely easy to maintain. It has two inbuilt circulation fans for air movement within the growing space although you will still need to extract and filter the air from the room in which the EcoSystem is operating. The EcoSystem includes an 80 Litre integral reservoir and is supplied complete with all of the necessary pumps and irrigation fittings to get going straight away. It’s not cheap, but for anyone seeking optimum yields this is money well spent. Nothing else can even compare. Grow lights not included. Dimensions: 125 x 125 x 170cm (length x width x height).
