It is a hydroponic system where the plants are grown in a cylinder that captures all the light from the central source in the cylinder.The cylinder rotates for uniform absorption of water and nutrients for the plant medium. The effect on plants being constantly rotated in 360 degrees combined with gravity’s influence on plants, compresses the plant, producing more flowering sites with shorter and stronger growth. Hence one can get more harvest in a year within a smaller space.
One can grow around 80 plants in just 8 sq. ft. of floor space which is 5 times more than traditional hypodronic system and this also saves water: it uses as little as 1/20 the amount as a regular to produce the same amount of food.
