    My video on how to make the downspout grow box is kind of old and a little vague. I get a lot of questions so I will be answering them in the next few videos. After that I will unbox a food grade NFT channel that I had ordered a few months back and never opened.

      My input, limiting yourself to 30" means you could get away with a 36" x 20" tank to plastidip for more customization.

    Really enjoy your videos Mike. I'm just getting into hydroponics and haven't really settled on which systems I want to use but I do have a construction tip when sawing PVC with a power saw. Just like "drilling backwards" to get a smooth hole, on a circular saw of any sort, reverse the blade and drag the teeth through instead of cutting through (real good use for an old, dull, worn-out blade). Not saying I'm old, but I was on the design team for dirt.

    Late to the game, and zero 3x4" downspouts to be had in all of Los Angeles. I think they had them at Lowe's over the weekend (and the website said "hot item") but I never thought they'd all be gone by today. I guess the whole food insecurity thing is getting VERY REAL.

    @Alc3mis7 4 года назад +3

    Thank you for your this detailed video! 👍
    I'm going to do this too - however, if seems that here in the UK, the only downspout you can buy is 65mm x 65mm (2.56" x 2.56")..
    ..i guess this still would work, but because due to the smaller size, this holds approx half amount of liquid nutrients then yours - therefore I would need to check upon these smaller diameter grow boxes / refill them twice as frequently as you do.. 🙃
    .. I'll let you know how it went once it's done!

    Mike Love the short elbow as an alternative to heat molding the ends. It looks supper clean. And really those little elbows aren't that expensive. I think they were only $2.55 each at Home Depot for the 2" x 3" and $3.78 for the 3" x 4". TIP. If you all do use them, do be sure to put a small piece of netting or something over each end to prevent bugs/things from getting in to the rail.

  • @shdwbnndbyyt
    @shdwbnndbyyt 2 года назад

    Looking at the thumbnail picture for your previous video... a better idea may be to make a double ended downspout with a 90 degree curve up at each end that can be covered as needed, rather than sealing both ends. That way the cover at each end can be removed and water levels checked and added to as required. The only sealing needed would be whatever glue is used to connect the 90 degree curve piece on the ends... if the piece is already existing on one end, then only one needs added. Less work...

    Hey Mike, could you share some thoughts or strategies on how to manage water temperature in the kratky systems, or preventing algae growth (even in opaque or painted containers)? And have you experienced a big insect problem due to the amount of warm-standing-stagnant water that's inherent to the nature of this method? Appreciate the thoughts - those are the topics were trying to adapt to currently. Other than that the systems work GREAT!

Not surprising as it’s not designed for this use. Do you have any information that would put such people at ease regarding this issue? Thanks

      no need for pump in this method. These downspouts could be modified to use the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), which would require a pump, but that is not how Mike is using them. He is doing more of a "off the grid" no power needed, kratky technique.

    Sir Mike,
    Where do you buy the lower numbered nutrients for the early plants!

    • @KeepOnGrowin
      @KeepOnGrowin  3 года назад

      Hello Marilyn, It is the same nutrients. If you are using the ones from my shop, it is approx. 10g/10g/5g . If you buy you own and weigh it, as the plants mature, you can bump up the weight.

    Hi,
    Is there any particular reason why you didn't drill the wholes further to the ends? It seems to me that with these spaces, you could have fitted 7 wholes instead of 6 on this size of downspout..
    Thx.

    • @KeepOnGrowin
      @KeepOnGrowin  4 года назад

      I heat and bend the end inward, that's about as close as I can get and leave the plant on the end some room. This spacing has worked well with me.

      No, I do it all the time. How hot is it? Did you squeeze them too hard? Pretty much just let the leaves hold them up and let the roots dangle. I will try to do a video soon.

    I have watched some of your videos, and I keep on coming back to your videos. I have decided with the Kratky hydroponic. Would I be able to grow hydroponics indoors all the time? I live in PA, and with the Chemical accident recently in Ohio, and with chemtrails, I don't want to grow the hydroponics outside. I have two garden towers, and never used them yet, I was going to use them this year, but now I don't know with all the chemicals in the air. Would that be possible growning inside with your Down Spout method?

      Not that I know of, pvc needs to get hot for that to happen. If you let these get too warm, the plants will die. Morning sun, afyernoon shade. Best to keep the liquid under 80F degrees.

      Really?? Back when I made this video a downspout was $12 (now about $16) I make 4 to 6 of these out of each one. People are spending $16 to $50 for small countertop models that only hold 6 tiny plants and the Aerogarden can run over $100 for one system.
      Not spending. Saving.
