The fact that you don't gloss over problems faced along the way, make these video a goldmine for those of looking to get into growing and hydroponics in the future. Cheers man. Amazing content.
Great update mate. Very interesting to see how the wedge bags went. Great to see the honesty as well Hoocho. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the greenhouse.
I've been using a 4" NFT system for 2 years, 1st a 12' x 12' greenhouse with six, 10' rails and then a 40' outdoor system that had four, 40' NFT's all tied together with 150 gallon res. I understand problems LOL. I totally love what you're doing, especially with that wick wedge and grow bags. My outdoor system had problems with root systems that blocked the NFT and caused leaks. Your system could be the answer that I've been looking for. Great job! I'll be checking out all you videos.
i had similar probs with the citrus. Drop your watering and feeding by about 80%. remove the scoria and just use soil. I've got an entire garden in pots and run Aero and hydro across the leafies etc but citrus needs to run dry and experience stress to fruit well. Love the vids Great work!
Thank you to shear you effort for the dizzies add to small amounts sulfur I saw from you tube last year my yard did not had any fungus or other problems. Let you know also spay to cinnamon helps to
I think you might be able to use smaller coco bags for the wick wedge system. The roots are spread out in the entire bag, but only on the bottom. There seems to be some unused room.
to go from a full green house to empty looks so sad, in the uk its either rain or cold and every now and then we have a summer so we're used to loads of rain, cant wait for the new systems. The time lapse footage is amazing. 👍👍
Fantastic info - cheers! Seeing endless perfect setups can make you despondent when things go a bit wrong! Good to know that stuff can happen to anyone.
Would love to see one of the citrus trees planted into pumice, or a 90% pumice, 10% Zeolite mix. Pumice has really good aeration, wicks really well and has great structure.
Have you considered a fan in the green house? That may help with the pollination of the cucumbers. I have smaller systems inside my house and a small fan has done wonders for me.
Great video 👍, my mate was telling me about this stuff to add to your system that brakes down the old roots turning them into available nutrients for your plants, many used after the harvest, I think 🥴 No nutrient lock or stinky toxic water., Sorry brains shut down can't think of what it's call. I used hydrogen peroxide in the past once a week to keep the system nice and fresh from any decaying material and and bit of extra oxygen.
I have never done trees but I used to do a similar set up as your lime trees but I used regular compose and just put coco in the wicking pot and bottom couple of inches of the pot. just a though
I was not trying to grow hydroponically, I was just watering from below with a passive system from an ibc rain barrel with a system of buckets using a float valve to keep water in the wicking cups
As for the citrus plants it might be an iron deficiency. Try Iron-II-Sulfate. This might solve it. It could also be that roots might be bad developed and/or having too much nitrogen (sufficating).
Love your Channel watch a lot of your videos just subscribed I recently just got into growing in water using the cracky method working pretty amazingly. definitely thinking of using the rain gutter system thank you for all your videos
Love your content and I have set up my own system inspired by you. I am having a issue with plythium and remembered a video you made that mentioned how much 34 percent hydrogen peroxide you added per/gallon? Could you refresh my memory I am having a hard time finding that video. Thanks again love your channel.
What if you made a lid for the fruit tree pots that served not only as a method to keep the rain water out of the system but also to support the plant like a collar of sorts.
Haha nah I don’t, but the time lapse is set to 5 or 10 minutes, so I’d have to be in there for at least half an hour to be in 3 frames of time lapse video. And that’s at full speed, these timelapses are up to 1000% speed on top of that.
I have an indoor Hydroponic Garden started inside. Outside the Birds, squirrels, and rabbits act like gangsters and attack anything I put outside including grass!
Have you tried the parasitic bugs for pest control? I have some Persimillis on order from bugs for bugs to help control with two spotted mite. Unfortunately I left it too late and with temperatures here in the 30’s I’m expecting them to be fried in the post.
Ever hear of Bioponics? You use hydroponics and bio-stimulant like fluvic acid, seaweed extract, vitamin B, and amino acid. Check it out once. I use it for my hydro grows and will never go back.
Love the channel! In alot of your earlier videos you talk about a book that you used to get started. What is the name of that book or do you recommend any other books for people starting out?
ABC of NFT, it’s almost impossible to find, I paid a lot for it. Here’s a good one I think you will enjoy. www.agrifs.ir/sites/default/files/Hydroponic%20Food%20Production%2C%20A%20Definitive%20Guidebook%20for%20the%20Advanced%20Home%20Gardener%20and%20the%20Commercial%20Hydroponic%20Grower%2C%20Seventh%20Edition%20%7BHoward%20M.%20Resh%7D%20%5B9781439878675%5D%20%282012%29_1.pdf
Maybe that high EC could be utilized. Creating an environment of high EC then kicking it back down in intervals could make a big difference for flowers or fruit for indoor hydroponics. Insects and other bothersome issues wouldn't be relevant. 😆
With regards to the starting seedlings in an indoor NFT should I run the grow lights 24/7 also should I run the water/nutrient pump full time or say 15mins every hour??
@@Hoocho at what stage do you change your plants to day night? As I’m growing lettuce from start to finish in the grow tent. Do you run the nutrient pump full time from seedlings to full maturity… mine are in rockwool cubes. I have learned so much from all your videos thanks for putting them together, I can appreciate how much time it takes not only growing but the editing of videos can be days just for one video. Great work keep it up Cheers John
i have see alot of you videos now and they are great but one question keep popping up. not much of what you are using can't bee food grade items are you not worried about if any of you plant take harmful partickel from it like bpa plastic or other kind
The fact that you don't gloss over problems faced along the way, make these video a goldmine for those of looking to get into growing and hydroponics in the future. Cheers man. Amazing content.
A true gentleman showing the real aspect of gardening .
Really like your honest and real channel .
Great update mate. Very interesting to see how the wedge bags went.
Great to see the honesty as well Hoocho.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the greenhouse.
Always a good day when I get to start it with Hoocho! Love all the new and creative techniques. I am super excited to build my system soon.
As always love your videos. If anyone ever needs motivation to grow their own food, just watch your intro.
Thanks for your honesty and keeping it REAL.
Honesty in reviewing your systems? Respect! We all learn together.
Really like your channel bro. Love the creativity and really enjoy that you do show the challenges too! Thanks as always!
Came for the time lapse, stayed for the lessons 👌🏻
Hi Mitch. I'm sitting here with your Nan Shirley watching your video right now. She just wanted to say she's very proud of you and enjoys your videos.
Hey Nan!
Much love!
Dude, this was a great video. It is of HUGE value discussing problems; one of the best grow video's i've seen.... thank you for sharing !!

Beautiful melons! I’m thankful for the trial and error process to find the perfect mixture of ease and productivity.
Your a mix between a gardener Mad Max and Buddha , love it. Between you and Rob I get so much good info. Thank you
So much room for activities!

so for the root systems ! put a fish drag line with some loop knots on and a sink on in the pipe, you can then drag the root out if needed
Great video! So much to learn on here! We will be starting our own hydroponics setup soon! Can’t wait!
I FUCKING LOVE THAT INTRO!
Omg i got so exited... Thx Hoocho❤️💚💛
not as much as it loves you :P
Thank you to shear you effort for the dizzies add to small amounts sulfur I saw from you tube last year my yard did not had any fungus or other problems. Let you know also spay to cinnamon helps to

Thank you so much man! Seriously! Your words and attitude are amazing!
Very authentic videos! Cant wait for more.
Great video, keep up the good work. looking forward to some more.
Love the working method definitely looks good
Could you stake the citrius up, either outside the pot or within? It may be easier than repotting. Love your videos Hoocho!
With any style of growing there’s problems. It’s great that your helping people with every area of the grow🍺🍺
Would love to see one of the citrus trees planted into pumice, or a 90% pumice, 10% Zeolite mix. Pumice has really good aeration, wicks really well and has great structure.

Thank you for this video I just filled mine
As always...loved the video! Thanks!
I am lucky here I get almost no pests. winter kills them back nothing like a -30 blast to wipe out the bugs.
What a cleanup. It is so empty now. Can’t wait to see what comes next. Cheers.
Lotta fun and resonate with the summary ..chooks must be choked. no comments fortunately from the dog...long term goal could be dirt planting

I love your video well done mate ! Hello from France
I come for the information, i stay for the music
What is the spacing between the lettuce heads? Happy gardening!
What if you made a lid for the fruit tree pots that served not only as a method to keep the rain water out of the system but also to support the plant like a collar of sorts.
Do you edit yourself out of the time lapse video? I kept waiting for you to pop in to check on the produce!
I also watch for that!
Haha nah I don’t, but the time lapse is set to 5 or 10 minutes, so I’d have to be in there for at least half an hour to be in 3 frames of time lapse video. And that’s at full speed, these timelapses are up to 1000% speed on top of that.

Hey Mate how have the rain gutter grow systems been coping with the subtropical summer temps
wow great video! How did you get the Wyze Cam to record for time lapse?
Have you tried the parasitic bugs for pest control? I have some Persimillis on order from bugs for bugs to help control with two spotted mite. Unfortunately I left it too late and with temperatures here in the 30’s I’m expecting them to be fried in the post.
Lol I'm good at supporting my community... of bugs and fungus too😊
Have fun and still get some reword.
king gizzard 👏👏 immaculate taste
What is the name of the rail you use for the camera? It's very cool
Edelkrone sliderone with two Headones and a tilt and pan unit.
@@Hoocho Thanks! Have u considered attaching a thermometer to it?
I can’t believe you didn’t cut open the watermelon 🍉. Lol was waiting for that.
Ever hear of Bioponics? You use hydroponics and bio-stimulant like fluvic acid, seaweed extract, vitamin B, and amino acid. Check it out once. I use it for my hydro grows and will never go back.
when you say scoria, you mean lava rock right?
I caught that step brothers reference ;)
Hadir perdana di channel ini dan ingin sekali menambah pengetahuan
What do you do with used media? Coco? Coco perlite mix? Coco scoria? Pure perlite?
16:30 The goodboy : stop talking boss, let's play....
To be honest I am new to fruit and vegetable growing and was wondering if it is necessary to flush the plant before consuming it
can you give use a link to get those rockwool slaps for cheap in the (US)
So youre converting the citrus media, which makes sense, but why pivot to drain to waste? I was just about to copycat your orchard system 😬
Love the channel! In alot of your earlier videos you talk about a book that you used to get started. What is the name of that book or do you recommend any other books for people starting out?

Hey Hoocho how do you know when to harvest watermelon? the bane of my existence!
Have a question, I am about to pick up a truck load of coconut fibre for free from a grower. What should I do to use it for the best? Thanks
10 pallets of grow bags.
Home Grow would be good now theres shortages on well everything...... Can you make hydroponic toilet paper???
Use the bolted coss lettuce leaves
What did happen to the strawberry crowns
how about the wasabi plant?
Also curious about the wasabi
With regards to the starting seedlings in an indoor NFT should I run the grow lights 24/7 also should I run the water/nutrient pump full time or say 15mins every hour??
Pump full time, day night cycle for plants

@@johnmunro1546 glad you’re enjoying the videos, I enjoy making them! 16/8 or 18/6 on/off for most stuff is fine mate.

how do you go growing iceberg lettuce ?
What is the song you play during the time lapses?
-Crumbling Castle by king gizzard & the lizard wizard :)
@@askfadzean thanks i love it!

What music did yo use in the start of video
Crumbling castle by King gizzard and the lizard wizard 🤟🏻
Espalier the fruit trees
Those roots are just like the ones this guy pulls out of Australian drains :D
