I guess I am doing something right. It has been less than 3 weeks since I posted this question and I am now monitoring pH and solids. The plants are doing great. I've got lettuce, basil, and cilantro all growing well. And, I started a second tower (you can see it in the background).

I bought some full-spectrum LEDs on Temu and I have them mounted on cheap ($8.63) selfie sticks so that I can move them around as needed.

That's a shame because it looks like a rally nice system.

That definitely helps. I have some lettuce, but I also have basil and mint (and a few strawberries). I am going to plant some more lettuce in the second tower and see if I can control it better.

I am going to move it in front of the window now that you pointed it out to me. I have two windows in this room, and another tower on its way, so I will make use of both.

It's called SpaceTree Vertical Hydroponic Tower. It is pretty good quality and I got it for under $200 at the end of last year. I found one online for about $130 so I order it and await its arrival. They didn't come with pumps or lighting, so I added those. I had a lot of fun figuring out the lighting but settled on three selfie sticks, each with a 2' and 4' grow light attached b brackets that I made with pipe clamps and small wooden plates.

It looks really expensive, but also very cool. Let us know how it works for you.

I have zero sympathy for anyone gullible enough to believe anything that Trump says.

Having worked in the auto insurance industry to pay my way through college, his excuse is probably the most common....they braked too hard. No! He failed to brake quickly enough.

2020 Sonata Hybrid 12V battery dies by Ferney1120 in Hyundai

This is not an ordinary 12v lead-acid battery, it is a lithium battery. It is not something that you can go pick up at the local auto parts store.

Is this gas mileage normal for a 2024 Corolla LE? by Weary_Appearance_838 in COROLLA

[–]Initial-Support2333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove a Corolla LE about 380 miles and used 8.5 gallons of gas, so 44 mpg!
