Nutrients and a flower at last!

Wow! The water level went down to nothing in this hot summer weather. 

Tonight I refilled the water reservoir and added nutrients. 

This morning I was excited to see the first okra flower!

Hope to have some okra soon!

Lots more buds too. 

Bugs are getting to some of the plants... 

While others are thriving!

All in all, it's still awesome!

Happy Plants

They have only been in sunlight a couple of days and the plants are looking happy already. 

I strung a few flypaper strips near the tower to catch bugs. 

The afternoon sun shines on it so I have to rotate it manually. But it still works great. 

Okra is coloring up and wants to produce flowers soon. 

Basil is thriving. 

The Move

 Well, observation says that the leafy veggies do ok with the artificial light. But I am not seeing the flowers we need for the next step. So tonight we move the Tower Garden downstairs and into the afternoon sun. 

As far as it went inside the house. 

The tower is taken downstairs. 

Placing the tub on the dolly in its new home. 

Noticing that bugs already got to the tomato plants. 

Assembling the tomato rings. 

Tada. Filled the tub with filtered water from my fish room and added nutrients. The ph was a perfect 5.5.
