Wow, that brings back some memories. Here’s 2 towers from one of my first hydro projects, I mainly grew strawberries and herbs, but they worked. I’ll have to watch your progress, I might end up dusting these things off and putting them back into service.

just added screen and clear liner, and a door . will add air circulation , just thinking how I could get a small heater in when time comes. as long as rotating motor doesn't give out , this'll be my veg box .

I had them outside for herbs and strawberries. I did use them a couple seasons and they worked, but they just turned manually, no motor, but movement of the sun did most of the work. I was having a hard time keeping an outdoor res clean and cool, so switched to raised beds for most herbs and veggies outdoors.

Cool. i made one last year but I guess I placed tower in a bad spot and didn’t get the even growth I wanted. Had that one in 15 gallons but root chambers and tank were hotter than I wanted. So canceled that one .

It should be easier indoors I agree. I’m interested to see how it works vs a stacked horizontal nft system.
