GermanBoy69 24 hours in a glass of water. Added a few ml of hydrogen peroxide (3%) to the water. Seeds were open after the 24 hours. Then put them 1cm in a rockwool cube each. Couldn't wait for it to germinate before putting it into the tower because of timing reasons. Blueberry looked good at that time. Strawberry cough didn't germinate.

GermanBoy69 I just let the plant be. Two weeks later, the blueberry has already grown a little. The plant is turned directly towards the sun. I'm not dissatisfied so far. The Strawberry has come to nothing. It was very cloudy and rainy for the first few days. The pH value of the Hydrotower is between 5.5 and 7, which unfortunately fluctuates a little, so I often have to correct it. I rinsed the clay balls with tap water. I prepared the rock wool cubes with solution from the tower. I use the three packs of Tripart Micro, Grow and Bloom as fertilizer according to the instructions. I also check PPM and EC from time to time. Unfortunately, I have some algae growth in the tower. I try to counteract this with hydrogen peroxide.

GermanBoy69 It's the third week I think. No idea when you start counting :D The plant is developing. Growing from day to day, even if not rapidly. Less in height, but more in width. Direct sunlight from 12pm till 8pm. I have added fertilizer and continue to monitor the pH value. Oh yes, I also have lettuce and strawberries in the tower. I'm not sure how well the plants fit together, but I'm not a perfectionist either. Any suggestions for improvement? ----------------------------- Es ist dritte Woche denke ich. Keine Ahnung ab wann man zählt :D Die Pflanze entwickelt sich. Wächst von Tag zu Tag, wenn auch nicht rasant. Weniger in Höhe, dafür mehr in die Breite. Direktes Sonnenlicht von ca. 12 Uhr bis 20 Uhr. Ich habe nachgedüngt und kontrolliere weiterhin den ph-Wert. Ach ja, im Turm habe ich auch Salate und Erdbeeren. Ich bin nicht sicher wie gut die Pflanzen zusammenpassen, aber ich bin auch kein Perfektionist. Verbesserungsvorschläge?

GermanBoy69 The plant grows. I have now added an oxygen pump to the water tank. Let’s see what effect that has. You can see the progress every day. I’ve also bought some phosphoric acid to keep the pH down (hopefully). My water tank is very large, about 75 liters. I also have a few holes in the lid, so a lot of rainwater gets into the tank through this and also through the openings in the pots. Never had to top up the water yet lol. At the end of the fourth week I’m happy with the growth, especially as it’s my first plant.

GermanBoy69 The plant has had a growth spurt in height. The pH value is now constant at 5.5 and I have added more fertilizer. I think the EC value is a little too high at 2.3, but I'm not doing anything about that. The other plants in the tower are thriving.

GermanBoy69 The flowers are growing. The pH value and ppm are constant. Unfortunately, I can't get the EC value below 2.5, but the plant still seems to be doing well.
