My First DIY Tower Grow...
Hey folks! I've been away for awhile, off-grid, moving, rebuilding, etc. Been missing this group this is one of my favorites! I finally took a some time to go thru some photos and make a little recap of my very first tower grow earlier this year! I decided to go the DIY route, and I designed and built everything myself. This a prototype test run that was Largely built off of Chad's inspiring teachings and experiences!! So Thank you so much @Chad Miner for all you do! Huge shoot out to you man! I'm not sure I would have pulled this off at all with out your wisdom, support, and encouragement! "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants" - Isaac Newton
My First DIY Tower Grow...
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.
Everything is now perfect 👌

Does anyone have a link for the live from Saturday? I cant find it on YouTube

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.
