Hi everyone,

I’m a small grower based in South Korea.

I recently started growing radish microgreens in my indoor farm, and I wanted to share some photos of the setup.

In Korea, radish microgreens are often used as a tiny garnish for sashimi, meat, rice bowls, or salads. But I think they’re way too good to be just decoration.

They’re spicy, crisp, and honestly amazing wrapped up with Korean BBQ.

I’m still testing trays, lighting, airflow, and growing conditions, so I’d love to hear any feedback from other growers.

Maybe some of you can try something similar where you are. 🌱

We are three students from the University of Genoa currently developing a hydroponic cultivation project designed for use on yachts and sailboats. The concept combines the cultivation of nutritious plants with a stylish, aesthetically pleasing design. This would allow for fresh vegetables even on the open sea during long crossings, eliminating the need to dock at a port for supplies.
We have built two prototypes using the Kratky method: the first is a custom-made Kratky-style planter, and the second is a tension structure designed to hold the planter and allow it to pivot, thereby preventing water spillage. We drew inspiration for this structure from Franco Albini’s "Veliero" (Sailboat) bookcase.
I have attached photos below; if we were to manufacture a finished product based on this concept, would you buy it?

Hey,

ich betreibe zuhause einen hydroponischen Tower Garden und habe immer wieder
die gleichen Automationen geschrieben — Bewässerungstimer, Lichtplan,
Trockenlaufschutz wenn der Tank leer wird, Leckerkennung... Das wurde
schnell unübersichtlich.

Also habe ich eine richtige Home Assistant Integration gebaut, die das alles
über die UI erledigt. Kein YAML, kein AppDaemon, kein Node-RED. Einfach über
HACS installieren, Pumpen-Steckdose, Licht und Sensoren auswählen — fertig.

**Was sie kann:**
- Bewässerungszyklus (Pumpe X Min an / Y Min aus), live anpassbar
- Licht-Photoperiode mit automatischer Mitternachts-Behandlung
- Trockenlaufschutz — Pumpe läuft nie wenn der Tank leer ist
- Überschwemmungs-/Leckerkennung mit sofortigem Pumpen-Stopp
- Wassertemperatur-Überwachung mit optionaler Lüfter-/Heizungssteuerung
- Pumpenfehler-Erkennung (prüft echten Stromverbrauch nach dem Einschalten)
- Modi: Automatik, Manuell, Wartung (läuft nach 2h automatisch ab), Urlaub

Funktioniert mit jeder Hardware — Tuya, Zigbee, ESPHome, MQTT, WLAN.
Die Integration liest einfach deine vorhandenen HA-Entitäten, du brauchst
keine spezielle Hardware.

Freue mich über Feedback, besonders von Leuten die NFT, DWC oder Tower
Garden Setups betreiben. Fragen gerne!

We've been growing peppers indoors using an aeroponic system with full-spectrum LED lights.

Nutrient solution is continuously sprayed onto the roots, ensuring both sufficient oxygen and a stable nutrient supply.

So far, we've observed:

• Rapid vegetative growth

• Strong root development

• Healthy fruit set

• Stable growth under controlled conditions

We're still optimizing the nutrient solution formula and lighting strategy, but we're satisfied with the current results.

Has anyone else grown peppers using aeroponics? I'd love to hear your experiences.
