“The 3D G-Tower by Panhandle Ponics is the most affordable, most efficient, and easiest to use vertical gardening tower for hydroponics or aquaponics.”
— Hooked On Ponics Magazine
After seeing the immense success of the 3D G-Tower, it was decided that it needs a companion app to make it just that much easier for growers to be successful. Climate Czar was developed for this very purpose and was tested for 5 years in private before being released as open source to the public.
While the 3D G-Tower makes it possible to grow 4 times as many plants per cubic foot of volume than you could by growing in soil, newbie growers tend to get overwhelmed by all of the new responsibilities involved with it. Climate Czar solves this by using sensors and its own built in timers to turn pumps, valves, lights, fans, etc on and off for you.
Those who are looking to build their own container farms rather than over-paying for one of the turnkey solutions out there, will find that 3D G-Towers and Climate Czar are a fantastic basis to build upon. You can literally shave thousands of dollars off your build costs and not be locked into a fixed design that you can’t easily modify as needed to suit your needs!
Even if you don’t use 3D G-Towers in your grow operation, Climate Czar will still work for you and is also useful in other settings where automation and remote climate monitoring & management is needed. Whether it’s just simple home automation, or a fermentation operation for wine and craft beer makers, or even a bunch of DIY chicken egg incubators.
Whether you do hydroponics or aquaponics, the 3D G-Tower will allow you to utilize the actual volume of your grow space, rather than just the square foot area. 3D printers are now just as affordable as a quality document printer and equally user-friendly to operate and maintain. Anybody can make 3D G-Towers, see the video below to learn more.
