Hydroponics

Creating And Using NFC Plant Tags

One of my hobbies is growing Chilli plants. I’ve been experimenting with different ways of growing them over the last few years. Last season was my most successful, but I managed to lose track with what seed sources/plants etc as I moved things around between growing locations. Whilst I could (mostly) tell what varieties of chilli plants I ended up growing, I lost key information.

The kinds of things I like to keep an eye on are :

3D Printed Hydroponics Tower

Last summer I became curious about trying hydroponics to grow basic greens on our patio. I looked at potential systems, but the UK pricing for solutions was expensive. For tower systems, these would typically cost £300-£500+ for a tower capable of growing 12-18 plants. This was more than I was prepared to spend to find out if it was something I was interested in.

Earlier in the year I purchased a Bambu X1C that I ran alongside an older Prusa Mk3S. So I thought I would see if I could build something myself.
