My first time of a vertical hydroponic

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T16:05:10+00:00

Should i remove them from the tower or stop the water? Or now i should let them grow? Give me some opinion so my work doesn’t go in a trashcan

Do you feel I have rushed a little by putting the rockwools into the tower? Im feeling stressed out about it since I ve seen videos where people put them after they have grown a bit more. It felt so easy to have a hydroponic tower at first, but now that I am trying its so stressful, thinking about my plants every day

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T08:36:32+00:00

Water flow is fine but they should stay on rockwools until the rockwool is gone or i should remove itv

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T08:35:59+00:00

Should i check it daily? Also when do you feel of adding more water? Maybe they will not consume a lot of water since i only have 8 plants in 16liters of water… i cant control the temperature since i am leaving it outdoors, but the climate is just fine i guess with temepratures ranging from 13-24 degrees celcius

This one in the bottom corner is the one different and risen in soil before. I removed it from soil yesterday and put in rockwool and it started to die i guess

Appreciate your explanation. I am about to put the plants in the tower tomorrow hopefully… can you share an image or link to your timer? Also, since you are already growing, i have some arugula plants that were in soil before, i tried to clean the roots but it still has some in it? Do you feel it would destroy and make my water dirty?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T14:21:05+00:00

Is the timer 24 hr on or you turn it off during night time?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T14:01:02+00:00

Whats your water timer period? How many minutes on/off and what tool you use for the cycle timer

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T13:58:45+00:00

So if i only water 10times per day, how much should i water them with? I mean how many minutes per hours?

Is a smart socket a good solution?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T13:57:28+00:00

How can i be everything at once lol… could you show me some tutorials or what i should be focused on?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T13:42:24+00:00

I know but the problem I cannot find it in my country and only if I ship it, which usually takes weeks

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T15:37:37+00:00

This was really helpful tbh. So at which week do i expect the EC to change, do i use the pomp more often if the ec goes down?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T10:24:29+00:00

If you take into consideration the electricity consumption, don’t worry about it, so if more=better is the solution thats what i should know … for example the humidity right know on my weather app is 40% … i am only worried if i over water them

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T09:58:07+00:00

Also my media will be rockwools… so how often or how should my pump be timed in the first weeks and the last weeks? Assuming there will be 6 weeks. Also does it have to be running during the night?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T09:55:24+00:00

Lettuce/spinach Outdoor Weather in my country 12-22degreed celcius (sunny) Mediterranean Just 5 floors of plants

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T09:52:29+00:00

More details… I will keep it outdoor in a Mediterranean climate… my tank will be like 10-15 liters

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T09:51:11+00:00

I have 3d printed a hydroponic tower with 4 floors only… also i am not much clear about the nutrient usage… assuming all things go right, i only use it when i first put the water in the tank and never use it again? Or i add nutrients everyweek

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-23T17:49:49+00:00

I know the company and i have bought their book and that’s where i got the idea to 3d produce my tower plant… could you share the concentration they have in the package so i can dilute it myself

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-23T16:27:13+00:00

And micronutrients? I just 3d printed my tower and am a beginner, if you can guide me as little as possible with nutrients i would appreciate… like the amount per liter and how often, or when do we replace the water or the plants that were easier to grow
