Everything is now perfect 👌
From low Ph to nutrient lockout. From water problems and low humidity. From transpiration issues to now. Its been quite a journey but I have finally got there.

Yay!! It looks great! Sorry about the LIVE, youtube was trying to demonetize me... things have gotten weird. Beth is not far from the truth. I'm so excited to see the progress!

@Gillian El Deeb OMG I am soooo glad to see this! My life has been insane, crazy, hectic, so I am really gad that Beth has been here to communicate with you about your tower. Keep us updated!
Ph drift any advice
My process for topping up is as follows- add 8l of RO water. Add my nutrients and stirring between each one. Adjust the ph if needed. My RO water is very alkaline and has a ph of 7.5-8. My plants are growing my ph everyday went down by 0.1 and by 7 days it had gone down to 5.6 but there was no room in my reservoir to top up so everyday I have to add in ph up. Now according to chat gpt which could be wrong- i need to adjust my top off water in my bucket to around 6.8 then add the nutrients and then pour it into the tower garden. This is what it said Why adjusting water down to ~6.8 helps By pre‑adjusting the water to ~6.8, you’re partially neutralizing the alkalinity of the water before adding nutrients. This reduces the initial chemical reaction between the alkaline carbonates and the acidic nutrient salts. As a result: The solution starts closer to the target pH Less “correction” is needed after adding nutrients Over time, the pH stays more stable because the main source of drift (reaction of water alkalinity with nutrient acids) has been reduced Think of it like pre‑tempering the water so the nutrient solution can settle at your target pH instead of swinging around.

@Beth E I will be touching on all of this in todays live. There is a lot to cover here. RO water is the culprit because after she top's it all the way up, her water changes the Ph. because RO water fluctuates for about a week or so.

For sure! It's hard for me to shove the family out the door at the same time every week 🫤, but keep an eye out for a notification between 8:30 and 10:30 am Hawaii time.
