Sorry if I'm making too many threads, but I wanted to make an all in one thread so it will be a little easier to track the progress of each. I'm sure there are a lot of variables so I wouldn't really want to look at this as any kind of comparison of systems.

My main system, constant flow/ no stand pipe
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15505

indoor system, on a timer
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15308

not aquaponics, but thought it would be interesing, my soil tower garden
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15955

I also have a wicking bed too will post pics when I get a chance

got lots more pic and updates, but have to head out to work.

The stick broccoli and purple cauliflower in my main aquaponics system really exploding compared to the ones in my grow tower. Though they aren't as dark green.

Some locally grow green onions that I replanted after cutting the tops off. The ones I put in the grow tower are doing just a bit better.

Full shot of my grow tower. I think it's beginning to fill out nicely.

And my indoor system. It's not doing very well. I had root rot on a lot of the first seedling, but that may have been due to the salt I had to put in the system or the 45/15 timing I had it on.

made a few changes to my main cf system. I was losing way too much water probably from the spray bar, so I added hoses to try and cut down on splash and evaporation.

I also removed the broccoli and cauliflower and replanted them in another wicking pot. They probably weren't getting enough nutrients from my relatively new system.

Picked up this nice ice plant, MESEMBRYANTHEMUM CRYSTALLINUM, from the store. It's edible and has a unique salty taste.

My aquaponics system is really starting to out growing my soil wicking pot. But I also have a aphid infestation in my soil pot.

Even after harvesting a salad 3~4 times from here, there is still lots of stuff to eat.

I don't know how I always have aphid problems even living high up on the 7th floor.
