Where it all started - Generation 10
Design and construction of Gen 10 Tower as completed in May 2019 and the custom grow trays proved effective. The system stack 6 shelves in a footprint of 52" deep x 30" wide x 72" high. 12 grow trays support a total growing area of 44 square-feet from a floor foot print of 11 square-feet (including reservoir). 2 additional shelves can be added easily when more headroom is available.
