For the winter garden I ended up going with a 5x2' grow tent to put in the basement as this fit real well behind the basement door and doesn't take up an absorbent amount of space. Originally I was thinking about putting a larger tent (something like a 8x8') in the garage. Before investing in...

I decided to setup a grow tent in the basement for my aeroponic towers in order to better control climate and pests. Below is a quick little write up on what I've purchased for this setup because people think this has to be super expensive which it's really not. Especially when you're planning...

Finally back with another update for everyone! I got back around to put the finishing touches on the Raspberry Pi Grow Tent Controller. Basically all I needed to do was 3D print the enclosure for the Raspberry Pi and tidy everything up to make it look nice and clean. After 3D printing the Pi...

Everything is starting to all come together! This project will be put into a standard 4 gang electrical box. This box will contain the bank of 8 relays (I'm only using 6) and the electrical outlets. The raspberry Pi will be in it's own enclosure mounted on the side of the box. Disclaimer: This...

Hey everyone! Winter is now here and I've been putting together a 5x2' grow tent (shown below) for my aeroponic towers. With tents being so cheap on Amazon I figured this would be a quick easy thing to setup with ease. I've been piecing it together and after buying the tent, exhaust fan...

I've got another design update for the towers! This time it's for the net cup holders. Version 1 is working well but as the plants matured throughout the season their roots caused a little bit of an issue with water backing up into the net cup and dripping over. This is/was a minor issue that...

Last night we had an INSANE storm here in TN with super strong winds that took down a massive limb off our only tree in the yard and ripped off siding from our house! I took this photo below right after the limb came down around 8:30pm CST and you can see the tomato plants blowing in the wind...

It's now been 67 days since planting! We're absolutely loving the flowers but really wishing I would have put up the little fence/trellis that came with this setup because the flowers are heavy and weighing down the plants for sure. But I have to admit they are very pretty! I mentioned in a...

The top of the tomatoes are now over 7' tall in this tower and loading up with fruit! We are now getting to the point where I can no longer count the amount of tomatoes we have! Now they just need to get ripe! I also don't think we've had this many cucumbers before. They're getting bigger...
