I've got another design update for the towers! This time it's for the net cup holders. Version 1 is working well but as the plants matured throughout the season their roots caused a little bit of an issue with water backing up into the net cup and dripping over. This is/was a minor issue that...

Hey all! Here is another option for your tower(s) as requested by @seesharpist! The original Aeroponic Tower Cap is a total of 108mm (~4.25") tall. I made a shorter version which stands a total of 76mm (~3.00") tall. NOTE - if you use this shorter version of the top it will not fit the...

The top of the tomatoes are now over 7' tall in this tower and loading up with fruit! We are now getting to the point where I can no longer count the amount of tomatoes we have! Now they just need to get ripe! I also don't think we've had this many cucumbers before. They're getting bigger...
