Rotarized Rotary Garden?

I Haven't tried this way so don't take what i say to heart...

Cons:
-Wheel would have to be huge, unless you grow small plants, Depending on the strain you grow...
-possible lighting problems since its a wheel, if u put light in middle it wouldnt be as direct...
-Once plants get big enough they might get too crowded and not get enough light
-depending on soil medium you use roots might dry out on the cycle if its too slow
-Some look pretty Pricey

Pros:
-Can be used in small space
-Looks pretty self sufficient
-if you wanted to you could mod it and add misters on a timer
-Looks cool
-Some of the ones i looked at are pretty damn nice and are all inclusive

If you ask my opinion right now im 50/50, it looks pretty plausible with a few possible flaws, but if you want it, Try It! and tell us how it goes

Here is a pretty good setup>>(expensive though)>>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200363180166&rvr_id=&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=WVS?&GUID=181201601250a0e203211c91ff206a4f&itemid=200363180166&ff4=263602_263622

But like i said before, i havent tried this or seen this, i just looked at the pics, specs, and what it includes and guessed, so dont let my opinion persuade you too much...
Good Luck!

I found this forum that talks about a guy using one ( Link ) I was thinking of buying one because I was thinking of the space it saves.
 
one word... DAMN... from the looks of it there that guy looks like hes got it goin on... now after seeing it my answer is yeah it seems like a great idea...
only problems i see overcoming is funding... and if you looking for stealth you missed your exit about 200 miles back...

But from that i'd say yeah try it, keep a grow log here with pics and stuff maybe even post a topic bout how to build one if you do...
Maybe even send me some finished product! lol jkjk
you'd prolly be the first one here...
 
They look cool. Definitely need to get 1k in there rather than 400w
Yeah you'd probably need some big lights with good ventilation
And
My opinion: buying looks pretty pricey, so if you have any experience with PVC, wood working, electronics and motors... i would defiantly say build it... with building it you can save a lot of money and customize it to fit your needs or requirements but if you don't have good to professional skills in those i'd say SAVE up and buy!!!!!
it looks like it could pay itself off in one or two harvests depending on size
 
Interesting to rotating joint hear that sealing the chamber is a big factor, but that's great if you can reduce the volume of nutes needed.
These trucks are getting harder and harder to rotary union find, especially on the east coast. Many people never even knew that Mazda produced a rotary powered pickup. This is a small pickup like a Chevy LUV, Ford Courier, Toyota and Datsun pickups of the same vintage. Even though it is small it has a gross payload capacity of 1400 lbs. Approximately 15,000 of these trucks were built for the U.S. market only from 1974 to 1977. fiber optic rotary joint
