ExoTower Hydroponic Garden Tower User ManualThe SolarXtreme 500 is one of our easiest-to-use full-spectrum LED grow lights.
Providing coverage for 16 square feet, our SolarXtreme 500 full-spectrum LED grow lights support all phases of the growing cycle, whether used for small-scale home growing or in a grow tent. The grow light system’s innovative design eliminates LED drivers. This is because of a revolutionary chip-on-board design and direct AC drive built into the unit.
High-efficiency LEDs provide an output that draws less energy and results in much lower costs than traditional LED lights. At the same time, this latest addition to our line of LED plant lights puts out the full spectrum, and there’s no need to adjust the system based on changes to your yield. You can, therefore, optimize plant health and get more of it per wattage. In fact, this product consumes as much as half the electricity of traditional LED greenhouse lights.
- High efficacy white and deep red individual LED diodes
- Up to 2x more light: faster growth, bigger yield
- Maximum yield at reasonable cost
- Improved direct AC electronics for higher efficiency
- One light for the entire grow cycle

ExoTower 16 Plant Hydroponic Garden Tower Questions & Answers
Q: My pump is making a rattling noise
A: There are a few things that can be going on to make the pump noisy.
1. Unplug the pump and run some water through it to make sure there is no
debris stuck in the motor.
2. If your tower has been set up for a few weeks you will need to remove
the green bubbler, it has restricted the water flow and can make the pump run
loud.
3. The pump might have come loose. Make sure the suction cup feet are
still securely attached to the bottom of the pail.
Q: I have green algae growing
A: Algae in your tower will not harm your plants or affect the harvest.
You need to check your PH and make sure it is between 5-6. That will help reduce
it, but it is perfect.
Q: I see roots hanging in the nutrient pail.
A: Roots are always going to be seeking water. When you see the roots hanging
below the tower you will need to trim them, it will promote healthy growth and
keep your pump clean.
Q: My plants look Spindly
A: Your seedling needs to have a thick root base in the root plug before you
transplant them into the tower. Transplanting into the tower too soon will
cause spindly plants.
Q: Water looks murky
A: Your water might look a little murky if you set up your tower and did not
wash the clay pebbles well. You will need to change out your water if it does not
clear up. When you change out your water let a pail of water sit overnight to let
the chlorine dissipate.
Q: How long does the pump run?
A: The pump on the exotower runs 24/7. You can choose to use a
timer if you wish, but it will need to be purchased separately, and set
up on your own time schedule.
