Currently growing 3 different cucumbers(lemon,marketmore,Persian), jalapeños,Thai chilis,bell pepper, banana pepper, tomatoes, some butter crunch lettuce that hasn’t bolted yet surprisingly,broccoli. All on the same stand and getting great harvests! I keep ph around 6.5 and EC around 2.5. Im debating going full hydro for everything except trees/bush/root veggies since it’s been so rewarding.

Did you build the tower yourself or buy it?

Bought. I looked into diy but honestly was too lazy lol. It’s a lettuce grow farm stand and has everything you need minus the plants themself. It has good spacing and blocks light inside the system to prevent algae growth. They sell seedlings but they are way to expensive now. I start my own with a simple led grow light and jiffy peat pellets+clay pebbles+fan

No that's fair I did look at a DIY solution as well but also decided it was too much work lol
