mini hydroponic tower
Description
With the way food prices are going , i wanted to increase my growing area , while taking up no more space. I have seen hydroponic towers online before but this is my design( version) its a lot smaller than most and could be placed as a centre piece to a table or on a counter top, wherever you want . There are 2 version but most of the parts are the same. 1 the jar lid mount , fits on a 1 L glass jar from the dollar store that usually comes with a metal lid. 2 stand alone tower, that has a remote tank for water and nutrients( would work better with aquaponics ) this currently has a g1/4 female port on the side of the base cap to allow the system to drain. I have yet to dsign the stand for the stand alone version but this will come soon. all parts are press together , and can be glued . requires an air pump ( aquarium ) preferable an adjustable air system to adjust the pump for the most flow( too much air slows the water pump) can be assembled as tall as one wants. ( there may be a limit to the lift abilities of the pump.) update: 2022-04-11 : 2 screw down mount bases for the stand alone tower. ring to glue to original lid threads update : 2022-04-14 : cleaned up the cap a bit , fixed the barb . update: 2022-04-20 : larger filter for the water intake added added break down ass ably drawings of both setups , (not limited to just 2 pods) Update 2022-04-21 : opened up some holes in the cap a bit to prevent clogging and adding extra back pressure on the pump. more updates to come , let me know any suggestions you may have video on the topic : https://youtu.be/r0vHMtopIyE take a look at my youtube channel ( video on this to come soon) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkSoGRqex0ZOloUz2aL7HrA
