cool its hydroponic i’ve got a garden in my attic tomatoes mostly now and i have lettuce towers being built. the sub zero killed the beans and cucs.


Garden in your attic? Wow! Impressive!! Do you have some amazing grow lights or just great skylites!

Sorry about losing your beans and cucs, but wow...tomatoes and lettuce?! I am impressed. What type of towers are you making? Hydroponic?

have 2 1000w ballasts. i usually run 1 metal halide. and sodium for flowers. i have done seeds in the basement for the last two years. it’s great when there is 1000 feet to snow outside and i can sit under the 1000w metal halides.

but decided to use the space and grow food year around. i have one little tomato so far. i am running plumbing up to the attic so i don’t have to lug 5 gallon pails of water and nutrient up from the bathroom

sorry didn’t answer this question. yes the towers are aeroponic. i’m trying to get them set up but i have to move the insulation bags i have up there. the system is built with 4” pvc and small 2” elbows. the problem is they leak so i need to glue them up. i was hoping not to do that. the reservoir is a sump pump bucket from home depot about 30 gallons. i can chain many columns using two pumps and that is the key. internally i have spray emitters. i will publish this but i may try to patent the design.
