Fascinating, took me back 30 years to the time I had heavily planted aquariums, we struggled back then. I am now growing lots of veg and almost self sufficient, last couple of years I have started off seeds under a 4 feet, 6,400k led strip with mixed results, some have gone leggy quite quickly, would the addition of a blacklight strip either side help?

Buy a 3D printer and print your own

What for a scam 97 bucks ?

So u prefer this over seed germination kits /domes?

Maybe I missed it but is there a specific resin you use that is food safe? Or Will just any resin do?

Most fun garden project to date! My kids couldn't manage to stay out of frame the entire time.... can you blame them? Also, before anyone says anything, the dry resin looks like water around the edges, it doesn't leak, that is just resin.

I am just trying to put some new light bulbs into the already light fixture I have so my plants don't take over by my windows. My husband doesn't want the house to become a greenhouse, and I need to sneak more lights in to grow more plants. 😂 So, I was thinking of installing in my basement office.

With a full tower of plants, do you recommend keeping them only in a tent to keep the humidity off the home’s interior walls. A few plants wouldn’t seem to be a problem, but a garden - I’ve always been interested what issues arise after a few grow cycles.

I am supriced how much my plant likes just a Ikea ledare 8w 2700k cri 90 bulb. I think its the only thing keeping it up during winters.

what nutriants do you add ? for beefsteak tomato

1:24 that's awesome. Oxigizer🤣

I have a birds if paradise in a a wide north facing window, do you have a recommendation which LED light bulb to buy?

how to you determine the nutrient amount?

Thanks for explaining this to me short to the point well done

Thx, very helpful. I’ve viewed many other channels and none with these explanations

Tons of info. Thx.

Excellent Video

That helped me a lot. I love seeing the roots. I've grown basil in the window and my green onions, I have no problem with alge, but it wasn't for long-term growth, just rooting and planting outside. I was scared of eating the plant with a risk of alge poisoning. This video helped .

Thanks!

Where does the pump cord exit, and does it need to be wrapped to protect it from the water? I assume it runs up through the 1 1/2 inch hole in the bottom of the buckets.

would two 2x2 lamps vs a 2x4 lamp from the same brand have the same PPFD in the middle?

Lumens are for humans. (visible light) PAR is for plants. Photosynthetic organisms rely on specific wavelengths, primarily in the blue and red spectra.

Definitely experiencing this 4:25. Mentioned this on a previous video as well. Definitely going to restart my towers. Oh.. And... FIRST! 😅

Thank you so much for this video. I have the stem problem, and I could not figure out why they were growing like that. I have been using the red light since I started my garden. Can you give me your opinion on how often I should switch between the blue and red light?

Blue light has more energy, which will grow lots of foliage. But red is more efficient and grows bigger fruit, which is basically mass, which is basically more plant material, which blue light is good at because it has more energy. But red can be absorbed more easily, which is acting like high energy because it is so efficient. Light is weird.

Been getting lots of messages, so I'll leave this here for you: www.hg-hydroponics.com/hydroponicssalespage

Incredible resource. Thank you

This is all absolutely fantastic information. Well reasoned, and I appreciate the call to construct your own from a good list of components. Thank you, thumbs up!

Was this your 1st cannabis run? I don't do dwc I grow in 200 gallon coco mix raised bed. My 2nd to last grow I grew out a mother plant it yielded me just a little over 1Kg canopy was 4' X 7'. Few thoughts on your grow, a.c def great idea I love my mini split. Your dehumidifier set to 60 is fine lights on but lights off I bet it got up to lower 80% if any buds touching tent definitely vectors for mold and rot. If you're scrogging train early and often and one thing that solved at least any of my mold issues is defoliation and it keeps RH in check. My bloom area has a box fan on timer and an oscillating fan going day and night. Do you have a hygrometer that records min/max? Def was heartbroken last time I got bud rot (luckily only twice outdoor grows suck) . Glad I found you channel looking forward to more great content.

i downloaded the guide that's above and wanted to follow along with the same grow but I'm gonna grow 2auto flowers in a tower garden flex with a couple sections removed so there's space for them to grow with a 645w led full spectrum light and add air stones in the reservoir. I'm trying to figure out the recipe from the guide what they would be in Ml per gallon has anybody used the guide or know the measurements

You mention that transplanting to the tower garden too early or planting seeds directly into the tower garden is a mistake. Could you explain why? I am a member of a forum for tower gardeners and many people report doing these things successfully and routinely, so I am wondering if there is a "sciency" reason not to.

LMFAO 🤣😆🤣😆 Masterclass LMFAO 🤣😆🤣😆 This was far from a master class Good try though. There is numerous things you didn't discuss, in regards to the subjects you touched on. For example, your statements on pH. Anybody who has grown with hydro and or aero knows about, what is called the ph drift. Which can happen within hours. So your statements about when and how often you check your pH is terrible. Think about it this way. If your plant is taking up more water than nutes. Or if your plant is taking up more nutes than water. What do you think is going to happen ? The pH will drift one way or the other. So it's important to check your pH daily. And in flower a few times a day. Another very important subject, you didn't even touch on, WTF. And that is cleaning your equipment at least every 2 weeks. And that consist of a complete nute solution exchange. I've been growing with lPA ( Low Pressure Aeroponics ) for over 20 years. And I have never or will I ever use hydrogen peroxide. Sorry but it just doesn't sound like something I want to give my plants. Yes it will kill all the bad bacteria. But it also kills all the good bacteria and microbes. And yes it is said that when growing with hydro or aero. That you can't have microbes in your system. Because there is no place for them to reproduce and grow. And I say bullshit. It depends on what kind of system you are using. In my situation since I'm growing with LPA my roots are not constantly sitting in a solution. My roots get sprayed for 6 seconds every 15 mins. So the microbes reproduce and grow on the roots. And this is what eliminates all if any of the bad bacteria that would cause root rot. Anyway thats enough free advise. And this is just a few little things I have learned from growing with LPA over the last 20 years. Good luck everyone.

Technically, pH is a measurement of acidity only.

What part of dc

I'm glad I found this video! I saw agrotonomy and immediately thought to myself "I could just make these myself" and started researching hydro/aeroponics

You are god sent!

Great info. You’re the best

Thankyou 😊😊

Thank you for making the time to make this!

Great information. Thank you for sharing!

What if you are growing inside? Will you still get them?

Do you have a video on how to best start/germinate the seeds for a tower garden? (Asking for someone who just bought a tower garden and has already done 2/5 of these 🙈) For example, best practices, when and if you should feed them in the germination tray, how long to wait or what to look for when transferring to the tower, when to introduce the rock wool into the net pot ....

I personally hate the blue/red sheen of the full spectrum ones. I am not a light sensitive person, but these colors just piss me off. So what I've generally done for my houseplants (mostly tropical greens, non-flowering). Is that, I use Airam Superlux LED in combo with Airam Plant lights LED (full spectrum. LED PAR30 835 800lm E27). The Superlux cancels out much of the visible to the eye blue/red sheen from the grow light, as the Superlux has such a powerful lumen and light spread, vs the grow light. Perhaps a bit inconvenient, needing 2 like that, but I rather make that investment and be creative with the decor aspect of how to set it up in a pleasing way. In order to have the plants grow beautifully through the winter months (north of Sweden), while also still being able to enjoy a welcoming and cozy looking indoor environment.

You should use hydroguard! It alone makes better roots than that, plus it helps if your water is warmer than normal! I used in in DWC Bubble Buckets, and in 24 hours, the roots had spikes

You’re awesome dude

Cool ! , I'm in the process of DIY ing grow towers for a my own commercial polytunnel. Thanks for the video.

So I’m growing basil indoors. It’s a full grown plant already but blue light sounds like the best option if I want more leaves

Thank you for this!!
