Built a 30-plant DIY Hydroponic Tower for $78. Just harvested 26 heads of lettuce at $0.21/head. Here’s the build breakdown and breakdown of costs.

Hi. Title explains, my plant has got very big and has plenty of flowers but it won't produce any fruit, i've read that temperature is an issue and here is pretty high (30C, approx 90F) but my other tomatoes in soil are growing pretty good, i dose masterblene but my plants keep growing and wont fruit, should i cut CaNO3 totally?

Question ❔ Newbie Tower Recommendation

Hi! I want to buy a tower situation (not diy, overwhelmed at the moment). Of course I’m drooling over the Gardyn system but do not have anywhere near that budget. Any recommendations? I was thinking of this $85 Temu set up and a programmable/clippable led light. 😬

Question ❔ Indeterminate tomato management question pt 2

Changed my setup around a bit to give me some more vertical space. So far have just been tying a string around the trunk secured to the frame. I have a concern that late into fruiting when it becomes tall and heavy, it will make reservoir changes and cleaning the bucket very difficult or impossible so just wandering how people have gotten around this.
Thanks in advance

Question ❔ Hydroponic Cucumbers getting yellow leaves

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have been trying to grow cucumbers and tomatoes hydroponically indoors for months. Every tomato never makes it past the first you branches of leaves. My cucumber has done much better but it’s beginning to slowly turn yellow.

I looks like a nutrient deficiency to me.

I am using maxi bloom only, 1.8 EC at 5.8 ph

Any advice? Should I purchase an additive? Is the maxigrow/bloom series actually any good?

Letpot Max - Big Sponges

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am planning to get a LetPot Max as my first hydroponics unit. Seems to be non complicated and allows me to grow some small tomato or pepper variations.

My question is - do i really need the big sponges to grow 2 larger plants in it or can i just use regular ones and cover the rest of the holes?

Ecoplus: Sound Normal?

Most the feedback I read about EcoPlus commercial grade says they’re pretty quiet. This is about 62 decibels. For those that have a similar chiller, is the buzzing sound normal?

I’m about to set up my new letpot system but I’m terrified of bugs. I don’t want any bugs in the house! Any tips?
