@adodd87f, Just a note on using this goofy web site, everyone has a name and a unique identifier and they may or may not be the same. Use the unique identifier in the messages. So for example, mine is really @ajinil . Click on people’s picture or name and you will see it.

@ajinil Awesome, thank you. The tomato was a transplant, and I did have to remove lots of chunks of bark and crap from the really terrible potting soil it was growing in before my window farm was completed. It didn’t have the discolourations until recently however. You are probably correct by saying the pH is out [...]

@ajinil I just asked because maybe this would disrupt the gnats? I have heard good things about neem oil!

@ajinil – if the entire thing is rockwool, that might be the problem with them growing out of the pot. I don’t see any roots coming out the bottom (which is unusual). My guess is the roots are forcing the plant upwards because they are running out of room. At this point its a little late [...]

@ajinil Yes Ursula is doing something similar to window farms. Instead of vertical columns she is doing rows with the end bottle serving as a reservoir for the row. For the nutrients she uses a siphon/ vaccum system to maintain water level in all the bottles. I met her at FoodStock 2011 here in Calgary, and [...]

@ajinil I have found the same thing with my air pump, I use a restricting valve and only let a little bit of air through. If there is too much air it just breaks up the nice bubbles. Also, how did you do your bottle cap/ tube assemblies? Are you using any glue to hold the [...]

@ajinil Thank you so much!! I was wondering how to do this! @jamesnutter yeah right now the strawberries are under a bunch of cfls in my shower downstairs. Today is nice and sunny, I cannot wait to get home from work and check on my little stevias. When I was washing the soil out of the roots [...]

@ajinil I am happy you asked! I actually spent a lot of time thinking about it. It isn’t exactly how I had planned, because I jumped the gun and planted in the bottom level first, without specifically planning the whole tower in terms of my seedlings, so those are a little random, haha. But anyways, there [...]

@ajinil
One nice thing about the blowback is that it aerates your reservoir.

@ajinil This is some awesome experimentation. I love it that you are testing the limits of photosynthesis with rigged nutes! Serious R&D-I-Y. Please do keep us updated. Are you still seeing flowering?

@ajinil (Tony) I suspect there is a forum for debating forum etiquette. I don’t really stick to one method, myself, but often will reply separately to people in the same post, if their questions are going in different directions. If, however, they are similar questions I will generally answer in one post that covers it all. [...]

@britta I’ve seen those Tees at home depot, they always seem to be near the spools of hose. I don’t think they really have any normal use, just vinyl hose tees… what is the normal use for vinyl hose? I use it a lot, but not for anything I would call normal. @ajinil (Tony) That is a [...]
