1. A stackable cultivation tower system for cultivating vegetation, comprising:

  • a method configured to economically cultivate vegetation by creating a facility from readily available parts including a vertical oriented planting structure,a circulating irrigation system and lighting system in a reduced indoor physical area, conserving resources and promoting faster plant growth;

    a stackable cultivation tower configured with multiple stackable plant modules assembled at varying heights above the floor level and configured where the bottom stackable plant module is attached to a post irrigation container inserted into a support container to form a vertical planting structure;

    a stackable plant module configured with one or more plant holder module into which vegetation is placed;

    a plant holder module configured to accept pots with planting medium into which vegetation has been planted;

    a post irrigation container configured to collect water draining from each plant holder module down the inside of the stackable cultivation tower;

    1(a) A stackable cultivation tower system for cultivating vegetation, comprising;

    a support container configured to add physical stability to the tower;

    a water return pipe configured to connect to the post irrigation container to allow the water collected in the post irrigation container to flow into a reservoir for reuse;

    a reservoir configured to supply source of water and nutrients mixed in the water to irrigate and feed the vegetation and configured to include a pump;

    a pump configured to force water from the reservoir up a master irrigation feed line and configured with a timer to regulate the irrigation cycles;

    a timer configured to set time intervals in which to pump water up a master irrigation feed line to regulate the irrigation of the vegetation to promote optimal growth cycles;

    a master irrigation feed line configured to convey the water to one or more irrigation feeder supply system;

    an irrigation feeder supply system configured to convey water through a branching piping system to deliver water to the individual plants in each plant holder module wherein the water will drain into the post irrigation container;

    an offset light source stand configured to connect to a power source to supply electricity to one or more light source connected to sockets attached to extension elements of the stand structure to allow one or more light source to be in close proximity to the vegetation without illumination be obstructed by the stand structure;

    a light source configured to provide various lighting wave lengths to promote optimal vegetative growth and configured to connect to electrical circuits attached to the offset light source stand at multiple heights above the floor level to cast light onto the vegetation being cultivated;

    a cool vertical light tube system for exhausting the heat produced by light source bulbs to regulate the temperature of an indoor cultivating environment;

    a reflector tray configured to provide reflected illumination to the underside of vegetation shaded from direct exposure to a light source; and

    ;

    a coliseum tower arrangement configured to position multiple stackable cultivation towers in a circular pattern to allow cultivation of many plants vertically in a very small physical area to produce faster growth and higher yields per square foot.
