Until OG tower comes back....these are here.
In my tower garden(s) I used these 5-gallon bucket mounts (by far the best designed). Big shout out to Trevorhirschi for their design! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4395675
I also used user Lucidondine's design for the plant supports. They work well!

As far as what I had to buy from the store (or Amazon):
White food-grade buckets and lids from local Home Depot (food grade not necessary but I opted for that).
Bucket:

Lid (pack of 3):

Here is the pump I used, (rated for 290GPH/1100L/H and has no problem pumping 6.5 feet up): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1BM5M7Y
The silicone tubing is also from Amazon (one roll is enough for two towers like mine).

As far as the actual growing......
I use these germination/seedling greenhouse kit (I use them over and over with amazing germination success).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PFW3469
I went with Rockwool as the substrate (to keep the water reservoir as clean as possible). Again amazing results and would highly recommend using Rockwool! I soak the 1" plugs in water and then put them in the little greenhouse kits.... a couple of seeds in each plug (and that's it). Sit back and watch what grows!!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BQW6SG3
After the plants are close to touch the greenhouse lid I then just transplant the rockwool and all into the 3d printed pots! The rockwool absorbs the perfect amount of water to keep the plants from drying out between waterings (also provides a little root structure).
As far as watering I have been using 1min on every 10 minutes in the summertime and now that its winter I dropped it to 1 min every 20 minutes. I use this timer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BZ8LQFB
I have been using this food (and will continue to use it).
