	  if ( Physics.Raycast( ray, hit, 100 ) )
    	Debug.Log("1st");
    	if (hit.collider.CompareTag("gridFloor")){
    		var gridPoint = hit.collider.gameObject.transform.position;
    		Debug.Log("2nd ");
    		Debug.Log(gridPoint);
    		Debug.Log(tower1);

My first attempt at it would be to ask if you have a prefab assigned to the tower1 variable.

Since you don’t do it in the script, you need to drag a prefab into that variable in the Inspector.
