Growing Tips & Best Practices
Expert advice to help you grow healthy, productive plants in your hydroponic garden.
Check Water Levels Daily
Tower gardens use hydroponic systems that require consistent water levels.
Monitor pH Levels
Maintain pH between 5.5-6.5 for optimal nutrient absorption.
Change Nutrient Solution Weekly
Fresh nutrients ensure healthy plant growth and prevent algae buildup.
Seasonal Growing Guide
