    Small summary of the plant tower experiment in 2025:

    - The 3 i made indoors, with a LOT of LED panels, it did not succeed, no matter the substrate, oxygenation, or water pump I tried.
    - The only one i put outdoors, no matter the substrate, oxygenation, or water pump, it did great.

    A bit sad for an “indoor grow” experiment, but it turns out natural light is mostly the only thing that matters x)

    Of course, I will try again in 2026 🤞

  • Plants are in place!

    I'm really happy with how it looks, and so far (after 1–2 weeks), everything is growing well!

    There are still a few features I want to add—like automatic rotation of the tower over time.

  • New Bucket Sizes

    I have selected two new buckets that are inexpensive to buy pre-made and much larger than my old ones. I will design the 3D model around these two sizes.

  • 3D printed base bearing for the towers

  • Shelf for the future plant towers

    I made a kind of shelf out of old wood. The new plant tower will go here instead of hanging from the ceiling like the old one. It will be four separate towers.

  • A last harvest before the reboot

    I’m harvesting what I can, because despite my efforts (testing different substrates, oxygenating the water, and reducing the number of watering cycles per day), I can’t get rid of the root rot problem.

    I believe the issue lies in the horizontal design, which causes water to stagnate. I’m going to completely dismantle this setup and try a new approach using vertical towers.

    More news about that in a few days 😉

  • Improve Electrical Setup

    Initially, I only planned to have a pump connected to a Wi-Fi outlet for this setup.
    Over time, though, I’ve added two USB UV LEDs, a second pump for brassing, and, most recently, an oxygenator. As a result, the wiring has become quite messy :


    It’s time to upgrade this, with a 4-relay Wi-Fi board and some 3D-printed casings !
