Tower Garden Update After Vacation

What's going on guys? Kevin from Epic Gardening here. Got a update on the tower garden round two, season two. Actually just season two, forget about the rounds. Where we're talking more about the grow process and less about the towers themselves. Now I was on vacation. I just got back yesterday night. I was on vacation for five days and all I wanted to do was just have this tower thing run on complete autopilot and still produce really good results. Now I'm going to get a little bit closer on the plants pretty soon but as you can see from the last update the plants are doing really really well and you know I did absolutely nothing except for make sure that the the water was still running while I was gone on vacation. That's it. Just make sure electricity was coming into the system. Aside from that I ph'd and properly added nutrients to the water before I left. Gave a little bit extra just in case it was going to run out but these plants are very young so I don't expect that to happen and in fact it didn't happen. We're going to go ahead and take a look at the close-ups real quick just to show you exactly how healthy these plants have become. So the kale was probably as far as the leaf diameter goes the biggest leaf when I left was about this size here. This really small little thing or maybe somewhere closer to this this actually this cotillion here. As you can see it's probably gone up about 10x in size every single kale. Spinach and chard. Spinach up top and the chard right here are doing really well. Chard I've noticed is a little bit slower to grow in general than kale or lettuce as we can see down here but in general it's doing really well. Over in tower number two this is more of the lettuce and the cilantro beds and the cilantro I've had trouble growing in the past. Not this time guys it's absolutely perfect and I'm growing multiple plants in each one just because I know that it can support that. A couple other lettuce varieties down here as well as this is the Thai basil at the very bottom here. If we get in close on that we can see that it's doing really really well. Now just to talk a little bit about the method because I know that's what this whole thing is about. It's very simple. I gave it a little bit more than what general hydroponics recommends in the mild vegetative growth phase. So I believe it's a teaspoon per gallon. I went at about 1.5 teaspoons just because I know from my experience that leafy greens can handle it. But that's about it for now guys.
