nice build mate
regards the light hanging height, it depends on growth stage.
best look into DLI (Daily Light Integral) = density of light (x) hours of light
there is a couple apps built to gauge PPFD & DLI (PPFD Meter or Photone) PPFD meter is more accurate if using the suggested 3rd party sensor it also has a built-in par map creator helpful for visualizing light uniformity,
these convert LUX to PAR. if 100% accuracy is preferred PAR meters start from $500AUD
efficiency comes at the cost of uniformity, dimming and closer light placement will be more efficient but will have worse uniformity (PPFD and DLI is your focus)
Is this your down spout base not made of pvc? If it's made of pvc then just cut out a flat piece and weld it with pvc cement. You can get clear pvc cement. Much better option then using the heat gun and inhaling chlorine gas.
Very nice.
All about supporting me fellow youtubers

Your peppers are doing well? what is the nutrient ppm or EC ?
They’re actually not doing too well right now. It’s the middle of winter and I think it’s too cold. The chilies are all ripening while really small and the leaves aren’t looking so healthy. If I had my time again I don’t think I would do chilies in the NFT.
I’ve been running the res at about ÉC 2.2-2,4ish.
why use lights instead of keeping the tower outside?
also, why do you have a fan blowing over the plants?
are you using plain tap water or do you add plant food?
Light because it provides a consistent and controllable light cycle. The daylight hours are getting shorter as we come into the Australian winter. 16 hours of light per day increases productivity/yields. Also, growing indoors provides protection from pests and harsh weather conditions.
The fan keeps the air moving which the plants need in order to process nutrients effectively. Without it I start to see signs of nutrient deficiency especially in the dense centers of the Bok Choi.
The water contains hydroponic nutrient.
Light and water pump cost a lot for each month bills?
@@satoshi9391epending on how long he leaves the lights on and how much electricity costs, his system probably costs about $20-30 USD per month to run.
@@Tyrone-Ward vegetable is not expensive. Electric cost more expensive.
@@satoshi9391 depends on if you have 6kW of solar panels in your home or not
