Thanks for your experience and wrath of knowledge. Knowledge is power and freedom. Happy growing. Just got my first two towers smile😊

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Did you use my link? If so let me know so I can set you up in my communities!

[@anitaonthefarm779]

As a seasoned in the dirt gardener this video was very helpful. Especially the tips on replanting and the turn over to new plants. Just what I needed to know! Thanks

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RusticByNature]

I enjoy hearing all the night sounds. Here in Alaska, it is very quiet at night.

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Really? I would have thought it would be loud with nature there.

[@RusticByNature]

@@theaeroponictowerchannel We have some frogs in Southcentral Alaska but I rarely hear them. We have mosquitos, dragonflies, flies, bees, and wasps but they don't make a lot of noise.

I love the last section where you show the giant starts that you seeded not too long ago. Wow!!!! Beautiful. I do question how you untangle the roots? I had lettuce starts in the cubes and I had to pull the rockwool apart and some of the roots had grown into its neighbors rockwool. It was not good. Do you have that problem?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

They do sometimes but it doesn't harm them to tear them apart and loose a few roots. I just separate them carefully.

[@cristianperovich3119]

Awesome!!thank you so much for all the information you are sharing

I have to mark my seeds while growing until I learned how to tell what it was when I was new to gardening! But new things? Label label label is what I have to do🤪

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Yes, I forget that is more common than not doing it like me! It's always a surprise over here what pops up.

Hi, would love to know how you separate the celeries without damaging the roots. Thanks!!!

Here you go. It's actually really easy and they perk back up after a couple days. kzbin.infoNQy3yKn4D6w?si=RhEzCB728H1ZKgu-

@@theaeroponictowerchannel Funny, I was just watching this other video you posted today. Thank you!!!

[@beneitaflemmer6030]

I had to stop spinach because of the extreme high purine content and with my Uric Acid issues I just isn’t for me! But kale? So many varieties as well as my Japanese Mustard and other greens! But I did love spinach until it did not like me😇🤪😂

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

There are some way healthier options for sure!

[@denaoller]

Another great video! Would love to see how you divide and repot the celery! Your amazon link for the grow lights isn't working.

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Thank you! Yeah, those lights aren't always available. Everything is going LED. Google Ferry Morse grow light and hopefully you can find someone who is still selling them.

[@denaoller]

Thank you! @@theaeroponictowerchannel

​@theaeroponictowerchannel great video just starting out. I found one of the growlights in marketplace for 10.00. You are first person to show how to use efficiently. Thank you

[@RusticByNature]

When using the water heater, would the air temperature around 60° still work for growing tomatoes and peppers?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I think so. Tomatoes can fruit at 60 degrees and pepper at 65. I have a growing indoors video coming out tomorrow where I share what I think are the best options to grow indoors. They are a micro dwarf varieties that still taste great. They would probably be the best option to start with.

[@RusticByNature]

@@theaeroponictowerchannel Looking forward to watching it.

[@vadams8975]

Thanks for the information. Did I see a golden or labradoodle in the beginning of your video. We have 2 labradoodles and love them.

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Yes!! Do research on heart meds and flea meds. They gave my boy epilepsy. I know 3 doodles who had the same condition. 2 are now dead from going the pharm route. I am choosing natural food, suppliments, and CBD to hopefully reverse it. Doodles need quality food I found out the hard way too. I'm now using Farmers Dog.

[@vadams8975]

@@theaeroponictowerchannel we started making our own dog food. One of our doodles has hip issues so they both get natural supplements. We have converted a lot to natural self made/home grown items. So much nicer to know what is in the items you use and consume.

Yes it is!@@vadams8975

Where do you get the trays? Tower garden doesn’t carry them. Is this an Amazon product ?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

There are links to them in the description.

[@Spence-po6xp]

How often do you have to water your seeds in the Rockwell?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Depends on the size. Early on every 3-4 days. Once they start to get larger it can be daily.

[@dlcmac]

I may have missed it… where do you buy your seedling trays?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

There is a link in the description under the video. They are from Amazon but I don’t know the name off hand.

How many towers do you use to grow for your family?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I'm homesteading with them and plan to grow all our own tomatoes to can, melons, winter squash for the year, and dried beans so I have 9 but need 12 to do all of that. To take a big chunk out of the grocery store you need 6 (2 Family Garden kits). 1 Family garden kit is also a great option to start to really replace the grocery store for many things. It also depends on how much produce you consume. stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel

[@loopy9436]

What is the timing cycle for the grow lights?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

16 hours on. I keep my seedling lights on full time though because it’s just easier that way.

[@drkwoods]

What temp do you keep the water at? You mention heating the water but don’t say to what temperature ??

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

65-70 degrees.

[@HNA12615]

Why you don't give us other options than rock wool and the seeds needs light in the beginning or not and in winter what we should use to succeed

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I don't understand the question? I only use rockwool and a seed starting set up so I can't recommend other options since I have only had success using this method. I start seeds every 2 weeks and this is the method I use and what works.

[@HNA12615]

@@theaeroponictowerchannel when you put the seeds you put them under the light and in winter you use heat to help it grow

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I use the heat at as long as the temperature in the room is below 75. The heat mat really is more to create a greenhouse effect when the seeds are germinating and then to excel growth after you remove the dome. Things grow faster when it's warm. I hope that answers the question! Let me know if not! I appreciate the questions so I know how to better explain things in future videos. @@HNA12615

@@theaeroponictowerchannel can we use vitamins to the seeds to grow?

[@anthonyd4309]

I feel like I missed the part on watering strategy.

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I may not have mentioned it. I water when they dry out a little. I keep them moist. Not sitting in water or dripping water just evenly moist. I feed with nutrient water once they get their true leaves. I just pull nutrient water out of my tank.

[@CAMDEC1217]

Is the Rockwall sitting in a little bit of water or do you just water the Rockwall? I may be overwatering and also I wonder about my heat map I got a five or son, but it seems too hot.

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I soak for 20 minutes then drain initially. After that I water them until wet but not sitting in water. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temp of your rockwool. Ideal is aroung 75. @@CAMDEC1217

Your things are way too expensive

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

They last a lifetime so I find them to be a huge savings compared to what I was paying yearly for inputs into my soil gardens plus I save a ton on produce now yearly. It's my retirement investment. I'm investing in food security and health.

How many towers do you use to grow for your family?

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

I have 9. That is more than most need. I just plan to grow all things, even our dried beans, so I have enough to homestead with. The Family Tower kit is a good start and 2 would provide a huge portion of your grocery store items. stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel
