How best to use a hydroponic grow tower

In this video we explain how best to use a hydroponic tower. Vertical grow towers have the advantage of using the least amount of space and are great for a larger variety of crops that typically don't do as well in standard hydroponics. These rain towers are a form of aeroponics and excel at growing plants that require a sandy or more aeriated soil like peppers, strawberries, and tomatoes.

We explain how to group plants of similar nutrient profiles and where best to locate the plants on the tower.

Extremely well explained. The most valuable video on this topic on YouTube

Good job! Can't believe you unpacked an exhaustive prezo hydroponics in just under 8 minutes.

I`ve run aeroponics for well over a decade and can say its a very reliable way to grow. I`ve never had a clogged nozzle. The main issue is when you forget to turn the system back on, you learn to double check after you`ve done it a few times :)

Wow, that was a great informational video. It answered all the questions that I couldnt find in over 15 videos I went through. THNX!

Thank you very very very much for the information.... I want to start growing food for my family. I live in the tropics and I have limited space in my garden. I literally want to use all space that I have, but efficiently. The airoponic is the best for me thinkable now. I'm doing my research now so that I can have a good start. Thanks for this video. 👍

People, the best way for you to learn is get a bunch of seeds & throw them in~!
It won't be long & you'll know what works & what doesn't. Plus it'll stimulate your little pea brain so you can troubleshoot should things not work out as expected. This is what is known as *"Hands on experience"* 🤗

Wonderful idea, thank you for sharing. God bless.

In my tower I used a pretty good sized pump that's moving a significant amount of water. My question is if I'm moving too much water am I just washing the roots? I'm running 15 min on 45 off. It's working just could maybe work better.

💚🌍 Feed vertical plants natures way with a fish ponds & aquatic plants instead of chemicals

The timer saves on electricity which is good because rain towers are not the most energy efficient things. If you measure how much water you pump to the top of your tower in one minute you can calculate how much water you pump in a day, eg; for the 15 on/15 off timing you`d multiply the 1min flow by 720. If you compare that number to the amount of water the plants take from the reservoir in a day you`ll be shocked at the difference :)

@ 1:47 what is the blue piece called? 1/2 in line up the tower pumped via submersible pump, through the cap, but WHAT is that dripping part called!?

Thanks

Is it possible to get the vertical grow tower planting guide in a pdf?

[mikekabora]

I am curious to find that specific timer you used. Kindly share the link to it

[Blackfire]

Wow that's awesome video bro loved it 👍🏿 bro what's the estimated cost of setting up hydroponics setup in one acre.

[rjmyers]

Thank you for this video. Am a newcomer and 3D printed a tower. Question is how often do I put nutrients in the mix?

[redhaali]

thank you very much, where can i get the vertical grow tower planting guide as a pdf or an excel file ?
good video
thanks

[williamgarr]

Could you put a link to the plant list slides that you mention in the video?

A lot of seeds from the big box stores were made for this season though they are stunted, or just not viable. The issue is they keep the packs outside in the grow area where it is VERY hot and humid. I need to find a new source, but going online the seeds are dang expensive.

How the water will go up and touch the deaired level of the plastic glass container? Is it that motor that throughs the water or what is the sprinking system every 15 minutes?

really need help in starting my hydroponics garden
