I've been using kratky method for a long time, it's good, but I wanna upgrade my hrydrophonic system to something different
I don't have a large space (around 10sqm), is it enough for a tower hydroponic system?
What are the biggest benefits of the tower vs the kratky systems? also, what is a reasonable budget for this?
 
10 sqm is plenty for a tower setup! Towers shine because they grow up instead of out, so you’ll fit way more plants than with Kratky. Expect faster growth thanks to constant nutrient flow. DIY builds can start around $150, while commercial towers run $300-600.
 
yep, 10sqm is really big for tower setup. One thing you need to pay attention to is the lighting. it's really important factor in indoor gardening. making sure the lower plants get enough light indoor can be a challenge. You'll need strong, full spectrum LED grow lights, strategically placed to cover all tiers
