Excellent video. Thanks! Very useful! Encountering issues as I grow as a gardener with the TG system. I am also in the southern continent and discovering that lettuces actually can be in full sun, and they do really well! The rockwool not germinating and having to be tossed out... seemed like a waste! This method is very practical, including being prepared to have a good bank of seeds to use so many per cube! I also buy from True Leaf Market, they have a great variety. These tips definitely make you feel like entering the next level... not so beginner anymore. Thanks! Always love your work.

Would be great to see how those germinated! Also... Algae... I'm researching this, I hear that using hydrogen peroxide in the tower when you mix the nutrients, helps. What do you think?

I have other videos where I show this and show them sprouted but I'll show them in a video as soon as they are ready. Make sure to follow my instagram or facebook stories too. I share daily videos of progress there. I have done hydrogen peroxide. I just don't worry about the algae so I have found it's not worth the time trying to do something about it.

How. long do you leave the lettuce blend in the rockwool before placing it in the tower? How long does is take to get a big full bunch of lettuce like yours?

Growth always depends on temperature but I don't put them in the tower until they have roots on all 4 sides and the bottom. This allows them to go through the slow growth stage in my grow station and they take off when they go in the towers. Once in the towers this size is another 4-6 weeks depending on the temp indoors and outdoors.

Do you use nutrient mixed water in the germination process, or just purified water only?

Just regular water until a certain point and then I begin to feed them nutrient water. I feed them once they get their true leaves or second set of leaves. I have a free seed starting course here. stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel

Since the oven is already hot, I normally take my failed cubes and toss them into the oven after cooking to let the heat kill the algae. New algae will restart but the original doesn’t continue to flourish.

That is a good idea. I have soaked them in food grade hydrogen peroxide with water. That does a good job too.

Do you always start this many seeds in rock wool? Or this only when you’re reusing after failure?

I have 12 towers. I start seeds every 2 weeks and it's usually more than this. I harvest whole plants at a time and grow fast turnover foods like baby cauliflower several times a week so I'm always harvesting and replacing.

Where did you get your coco coir? Ive seen where some people use it in place of the rock wool. Does it NOT break down like dirt and get into the TG tank? I'd love to have a better understanding of the difference.. Love the video. As always thank you for the education❣️

I bought loose coco coir from our local nursery. You can buy coco coir pods. I think they are help together with an outer material but I am not sure. I have never used the pods. I just sprinkled a little loose coco coir in the holes.
