Cheapest would be a DIY option if you have access to a local hardware store

I used an Ender3 v2 for these towers. Since then I upgraded to more higher end machines but you don’t need anything fancy! Other materials were from a local hardware store

Nope! They’ll be fine on direct sun. The plants will love it for sure. Just make sure when temps are high to shorten the off interval for the pump!

Should be something I can whip up this weekend.

Hey @mrbrownstarfish! When you say 3" net pot holder, are you referring to the pipe diameter or the diameter of the actual net cup?

When using this flange setup you can also use a piece I just uploaded to Printables which is a tube support that's secured externally rather than internally to make setup a little easier since it can be difficult to line up screw holes and such when the part is inside the PVC pipe. (see...

So you have or are thinking about a MUFGA countertop hydroponic unit, right? Well cool! The documentation that comes with these units isn't the best so this is a little informational section that I put together to hopefully help answer questions and alleviate stress/unknowns! If you're also...

I could probably remix that cup to fit this design. I can work on that for you for sure. And yeah, I would use filament that's dark. Light getting into the root area will cause algae which is not good.

Strawberries like something like 5 minutes on and 45 minutes off.

Hello there!! Excellent question. Is this setup indoors or outdoors? By the temperature mentioned I’d assume outdoor? I run my lettuce that grows outdoors 1 minute in and 5 minutes off.

Welcome!!

Finally put together the first tower for the indoor grow tent setup! Definitely wanted to get this done sooner but hey, it's February 16th, that's still winter, right?! But really it doesn't matter too much because I'll be moving more toward indoor growing in this tent for the aeroponic towers...

I just wanted to show an example of the new threaded bucket lid flange. I printed this ages ago it seems and finally built another tower with it. Doing this is MUCH sturdier than using the thin snap on lids. You don't need to have the PVC pipe going all the way to the bottom of the bucket...

Attached to this post is the manual for the MUFGA 18 pod hydroponic system those those who may need it. There are screenshots in this post as well as the downloadable pdf at the bottom of this post. Even if you don't have the 18 pod unit, this should generally apply to all the MUFGA units...

Hey All! I've been playing around with LST a little bit after 3D printing some LST training clips and wanted to share what that looks like on my basil plant. If you don't know what LST is you can check out my other post "Maximizing Plant Growth: The Versatility of Low Stress Training (LST)" to...

Hello Again Fellow Hydro Gardeners! I wanted to open the floor for the discussion of Low Stress Training (LST) which is a form a training for your plants. Exploring various methods to nurture our plants, let's dive into the remarkable world of Low Stress Training (LST), a versatile technique...

For the winter garden I ended up going with a 5x2' grow tent to put in the basement as this fit real well behind the basement door and doesn't take up an absorbent amount of space. Originally I was thinking about putting a larger tent (something like a 8x8') in the garage. Before investing in...

I decided to setup a grow tent in the basement for my aeroponic towers in order to better control climate and pests. Below is a quick little write up on what I've purchased for this setup because people think this has to be super expensive which it's really not. Especially when you're planning...

Finally back with another update for everyone! I got back around to put the finishing touches on the Raspberry Pi Grow Tent Controller. Basically all I needed to do was 3D print the enclosure for the Raspberry Pi and tidy everything up to make it look nice and clean. After 3D printing the Pi...

Everything is starting to all come together! This project will be put into a standard 4 gang electrical box. This box will contain the bank of 8 relays (I'm only using 6) and the electrical outlets. The raspberry Pi will be in it's own enclosure mounted on the side of the box. Disclaimer: This...
