Sad tomato update....

None of the fruit have fallen off and it looks like they are getting bigger.....

I'll keep watching to see how the fruit goes !

Currently how the system looks. Starting now to look into pumps and growing media as well as air pumps.

Todays bit of work. I've installed the venturi. Nothing special. It'll do until I make something myself. Can't beat $5 AUD and free postage.

Now to continue the search for a water pump.

growing media all sorted.


** Planning now for the grow towers almost done **

I've just rigged the fish tank to feed directly back into the sump. And some of the taps are open a little just to see the flow :D

Didn't get a good result from the venturi.

-Maybe the holes aren't large enough (currently 4mm)
-Might have to reduce the flow a little bit

:dontknow:

The flow isn't too good from the outlet...



Back to the drawing board.

I turned down the flow rate. It did get better. More testing is required

Proof of concept !

:headbang:

Isoloated the FT and bubbles came ! Then connected the RFF and it worked just with one small leak. But at least it worked. Time to reset the pipes glue everything into place and keep trucking along.

:cheers:
