A vertical system, the Coliseum takes up less space than traditional systems, while capitalizing on every photon of light. The Coliseum uses a highly efficient stacked array of lamps which allow plants to receive more even-light coverage than is possible with flat gardens.
- Allows you to easily double your yield for the same wattage as traditional systems.
- Allows you to quadruple your yield for the equivalent floor space of traditional systems.
Using a variety of different hydroponic growing strategies, the Coliseum offers the grower several choices: Perlite, Perlite/vermiculite mix, Perlite and coco or coir fiber Mix, and Aeroponic. Recommended plants are ones that do not get extremely big (12 to 20 inches high suggested) such as basil, lettuce, small peppers, strawberries and flowers such as mums, etc. The inventor of the Coliseum is a professional Engineer with over 12 years of hydroponic gardening experience

- Instructions
|
A string of vertical bulbs hanging down the center of the Cage Garden allows the light to stream horizontally in a 360 degree pattern, providing optimum light energy directly to the plants. The "Lighting Ladder" pictured to the left is made up of two chains, obtained from any hardware store, hanging down in the middle of the Cage with lights attached at intervals. You can hang 2-3 1000 watt bulbs or 4-5 600 watt bulbs and you can mix MH and UPS bulbs as desired. |
- Lighting [vertical bulbs totaling 2000 - 3000 watts are required]
- Ventilation (exhaust) fan needed to exhaust light heat
- Growing medium - use Big & Chunky Perlite (take 9 bags)
- 300 3.5" Net Pots with neopreme lids
- Timer to run water pump
- If you decide to operate the Coliseum as a drip system, the reservoir becomes optional, but you will also need to supply a total of about 250 litres of growing medium.
- The manufacturer suggests using 110 Liters (4 cubic feet) of perlite or 70% perlite and 30% vermiculite or coco coir fiber.
- It takes about 3.5 - 4-cubic feet bags of Perlite plus 1.5 - 4-cubic feet bags of Vermiculite to fill a base or add-on Large Module Coliseum pair.
