"Thats Ok they are allowed to be wrong!" - gave me a chuckle!
Just wanted to say a quick thanks for your contribution to both the hydroponic and 3D printing communities. You deserve more subscribers
"It's aesthetically pleasing for your partner too. You can now freely enjoy your hobby without bothering your partner!" This should've been released on Valentine's day!
EDIT: Also thank you for the amazing content! I've pushed myself to start thanks to you! Currently building a high tech nursery to start doing experiments with seedlings. Will eventually start building the actual hydro system when I have a good sense of the first phase!
"If it ain't wrong..." 😄. Hey Mitchel, I though you might want to know that your videos are one of the few ones that I watch without skipping any second (and sometimes rewatch)!
Keep on the great work, as many have said, your contribution is invaluable!
There can't be but a handful of people who have built and designed as many hydroponic systems as you have. Pretty neat.
As hydroponics become more popular I see your channel becoming something of a bible for home systems. I know it is for me. Your videos are informative, entertaining and just plain enjoyable. Thank you and keep up the great work.
yes keep up this great work to help save our planent!
i really hope you protected your designs so some huge corporation dont mass produce this, your methods and thoughts behind what you do and how you execute them simply boggles the mind and i thank you for that. love the content 👍
I agree! I'd contribute for you to have these patented!
Thanks guys, I don’t like the patent system.
I think it stifles innovation.
And the purpose of the channel is to liberate the growing of food.
Beyond any individual personal prosperity.
Modelled on the liberation of penicillin which should be the worlds example.
@@Hoocho Great thinking! I appreciate your integrity.
@@Hoocho I think there's still a valid point of protecting your creations though. Open source is not just for software, but licences are there to prevent any "takeover" by greedy corporations.
Lol love the cement mixer
I love your sense of humor! And that whole build is quite lovely.
second lol Im going for strawberry plant in the tropics...wish me luck.🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
Great idea!!! My hubby even likes this particular system. He is Italian and usually says just concrete it and paint it green, but he liked the look and function of this system. Thanks for all the great ideas and inspo
Suggestions for fixing 3D printing issues you mentioned:
To improve adhesion with print bed, I'd recommend wiping it with some IPA (isopropyl alcohol, not beer). If that's not enough, add brim. And maybe a draft shield, since you don't seem to have enclosure for your printers.
If you have issues with print strength, add extra walls instead of increasing infill.
It would be interesting to see if you can get moss to grow on the southern side of pots Mitch.
Love your ideas/inventions. Id imagine anyone could do much the same (wicking tools) with pvc pipes and fittings
Looking healthy mate! Thanks for the vid and happy new year!
Amazing ideas as always! I really appreciate your work and learn with you. Keep going!!
Another great idea. You are lucky to be able to do this all and I really appreciate you sharing! You aced the 1 1/8"!
I can’t wait to see how this goes down the line. I’ve always been so paranoid about taking water, route and putting them into a more soil like media by the way you’re treating that makes me think that they’re a lot more Hardy then I thought
Hi from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 👋
I'm binging your videos. Amazing.
And my wife might even let me do this one 🤣
Always love the videos. Thank you H!
Love your Dragons 🐉 on the background, they have really grown
I just want to say thank you for your content you inspired me to build up hydroponic systems in my garden 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love from germany 🫶🏾
Excellent presentation. Nice way to integrate aesthetics with the ease of an hydroponic system. I think I will it a try with some of my wife's home plants. Thanks!
A very clever hybrid system. Well done!
Very very clever. This really looks great. Your place has really become an incredible food bowl.
Nice addition, it looks like what was in my head when mention exactly this a few weeks ago.... Now I just need to make some for 90 & 100mm pipe.
Wondering if some 25mm cord rope could be an alternative wick material...Pretty sure it could work, Not dismissing the 3d print wick spike...but for people without access to a 3d printer it might offer a cheaper alternative method.
Awesome!!! Many Blessings from Northern Ontario Canada.👏🏽
I see a beautiful garden with plenty of substinense. when I create my new garden I will be buying many of your 3D Prints, keep up the great work. Love the videos.
Another great video. I lost a lot of plants last summer because I’m old and didn’t have the energy in the heat to water all the plants I enthusiastically purchased at the garden center in the spring. I’m hoping to adopt/adapt a lot of your ideas. Probably minus the printer and the cement mixer, although my grandkids would think that was pretty cool. Thank you!
1.14 - "There aloud to be wrong," 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and they are wrong, by the way.
“And because of the footprint of the print you can print up to 25…” the English language is amazing 😂
Fantastic video! There's many great hydroponic channels I watch.......and then there's Hoocho.
Amazing ❤
Great idea works well for pots with soil to
i love this idea❤❤
This seems like a good idea to finally try this method. Our patio is full of terracotta pots that we fill with flowers but can never seen to keep up with watering.
NGL that new wick wedge kinda looks like giant tampon 😂 looks awesome though
❤❤ Love love love this!
Thanks Hoocho 👍
Seen many of your videos but I did enjoy this one as it home :)... I'm planning an NFT for this summer but it has to be "fancy"... I think more content like this would be great for all city folks !
A quick tip you might want to try, I've had significant success printing as if I have a .6mm nozzle with my standard .4mm nozzle. I swapped back from an actual .6mm nozzle and got much less stringing using the same gcode.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think (again) to myself...."I really need to go ahead & buy a 3D printer..."
Yes. I would like to see an update on the success of this system. Basically, it's auto-watering typical grow pots. Great idea, and I want to install the same at my garden. I just want to see if the results are good, or if there are any hazards later on??
Informative as always Hoocho, and I have a name for the start of your vids the Hoocho shuffle/slide
Hi- did the 6mm cotton sash from Bunning's work. You mentioned it with your first video in November 2021. Thanks Gil
Thanks for sharing your brilliant innovations. Im going to try weld my wicking wedges out of
Stainless angle iron (using scraps) or maybe aluminum. Because i love to weld and everything I print on my old 3d printer seems to have a short lifespan:)
Wedge Cross section Shaped like a tent stake “T” or weld two angle irons together to make an “x”

Mitch: "some of us have partners to answer to"
*My bf* YEAH! LISTEN TO THE MAN.
CONSIDER MY FEELINGS!
Love what you're teaching! I tried aquaponics a while back and loved it. I am wondering if hydroponics is as expensive as it seems it would be. Is it cheaper or more expensive than aquaponics? Keep on doin what your doin and I'll keep watching. Have a good one!
Aw, poocho is checking in with you!
“They’re allowed to be wrong” Ha ha hee hee lol!
Your the best
My favourite video so far... I won't say why in case my wife sees this
Do you have an update on the success of this system? This is my favorite hydroponics video series. I will be supporting you on Patreon.
Great video mate and top work updating it part way through.
Do you think those float valves would work in the 10/20L bunnings buckets? Or would they be too big to deal properly?
I have recently retired from job, living in India. I want to start my basics in farming.
Thumps up for your clear, excellent tutorials, detailed enough even for a biginner.
We get 4 to 5 months rain in my place. If I keep the systems in open space, how to manage the excess rain water in the growing media?
Need to get myself a 3d printer I think!
Amazing set of videos I've been watching. Your ideas are top notch and I love that you offer other ideas that are not costly. I unfortunately have to count every penny during these times the past three years. I can't eat store bought greens because of what is sprayed on them. I live in Canada zone 4a so the growing season is short and swift. I ponder if a terra cotta pot could be placed over a bucket for indoor use as we are many feet buried in snow until the end of May . I've been trying the soil in a pot but it is slow going and I've not had a decent salad in many years. What do you think? I have the coir pellet pots for seed starting. I do hope you see this comment... Take care, and thank you for your videos and wonderful ideas.. from Laura in Canada
I’d love to know how these went. I’m looking for a system of self watering pots for my tomatoes this summer. Kratky was a disaster last year.
9:30 you said it correctly although you left off the "inch" measurement. One and one-eighth inch.
*Here for the slides #SlidinHoocho😎
look into a Bambu Lab printer boss. will help with sped, print quality and layer adhesion (water tight prints)
HAHAHA PMSL Bro! "...that's okay, they're allowed to be wrong!"
I would love to see how a cut flower garden goes in an rggs!
Man such a cool idea and episode! Can't wait for the law reform around here so you can show us your Hooch grow setups....#legaliseit
if you want to avoid the plant feet....dig a trench for your gutter and then the pots can sit on the ground, and that helps disguise the gutter making the system even more pretty!
hey mate, great video, if only i had a 3D printer, got plenty of space to try this. I have done my first dutch bucket system thanks to your inspiration so thanks.
do you have a link for where you get your special T and NitroCal from?
Basil, roots that clog NFT systems and cause overflow since NFT systems have been around ;)
Fan of the channel
Maybe a better way to print spikes is to split the body into 2 at the lip, then glue together after the print. Will allow a better print footprint, and easier to change length of spike.
Funny. I designed and 3d printed something similar to do the same thing. You can use old shirts, jeans, rope, even paper towels will last a growing season.
Is there a potential of liquid and media escaping through the hole in the pot? If so, it would mean pushing the wick through the pot and having a flange on the wick, this would push against the base of tub and stop any leaking. Hope that makes sense
Awesome Design! What variety of micro-tomatoes are you growing in your NFT?
Can you make a 3d print for pot feet? I'm suprised noone has made one sooner and monetised it
First! (lol) Just have to say, I've recently discovered hydroponics and have watched like 15 of your videos already. I'm planning on 3D printing the modular tower as my first attempt at hydroponics. Have you got a video that talks about which pumps you use and why? Great work, keep it up 👍👍
With pump it depends on the size of project you are talking about. If it is large you can use a garden fountain pump or if it's small you can use an aquarium pump. Alternatively you can buy a pump that you can change the flow rate
have you tried the clay pot type wick in a 5 gallon bucket, piercing a layer of landscape fabric covering a hole prev using net cup ?
Which 3D printer are you using? Do you need to use a special filament that is food safe?
experience talking? 😜
Another great vid mate, and jealous of the space you have as well as the set ups. Is that 5 acres by perchance, or more?
Any update on if these are building up nutes in the pots due to evaporation?
MUMMA MIA! Sig GRANDE CANE!! Now I'll be able to grow my spaghetti trees!
Would this work with circulating nutrients in the gutter pipe ? I have a Hydro system with mixed systems combined using a Pump in the reservoir, I would like to add raised grow beds making the gravity feed a bit difficult. Any info would be appreciated.
PS. love your videos and systems !!
I love your work Mitch. And the dig about your ex. You’re doing great❤
Could you do this with just coarse perlite instead of the coco mix? Coco is very expensive where I am at and I can't spend $750 on grow media right now. Could the wicks be larger or more in number to catch up in terms of nutrient flow to the plant roots?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How do you think this system will cope with rainfall
Paint the gutter Terracotta and they will love it
Paint it white to match the pipes 🤣
Is there an update to this grow yet?
Why did you change from the previous spike design?
Last yeah in. Texas it was so hot no amount of.water did a thing
.plants.shut.down
I cant find any 100x50mm downpipes in europa(Switzerland) ... Any tipps or search terms?
Hi Hoocho,
Great video! In it you referenced the rain barrel/catcher build video. I can't seem to locate it on your page. Any chance you could link it? I'd love to give it a watch and a thumbs up too!
ruclips.net/video/RgeqURDWUos/видео.html
oh... you mean the res video....? ruclips.net/video/VvTQq88JeFY/видео.html
Puck Me. You had me pucking interested for pucking ages. Now you've 3d printed something to get my Mrs pucking involved with her terracotta pot 😉 😉
Deep philosophy there.... "0:44 [Some] can't just go filling up every space in your life with hydroponic systems like I do" hahahaah damn is this why I love hydroponics myself? What if when I have a partner I want to fill the void created by hydroponics hahahaah
Does anyone know taht these rain gutters are like the ones sold in Europe for air? They are mad out of pvc square but only can find for air not for rain water.
Hydroponics all the way, great job with the wicking print 🖨 👏
How can I build a rain system in hot areas such as the Arabian Gulf?😊
did you get tomatoes from this technique?
whoa, look at that dragonfruit... I grew some last summer from seeds from a supermarket fruit, and snails only left me with one survivor, which now is like 15cm ;) I doubt it will really get large here in germany though. Currently I use only mineralic substrate in pots also with a wick system, but no auto-watering (because those chilis in pots I also want to overwinter indoors, and I don't want any soil in the house), mixed with a bit perlite. What is the advantage of coco substrate, and can you tell more about the "amending" it?
Hey German! This is extremely "on-brand", but if you haven't already, check out "slug beer traps". Slugs love nasty, terrible, cheap beer, and not just german slugs 😛
@@joesephrodrigues that's old news ;) What this does, is attract the slugs from your neighbours garden to also come to yours... and I'm not exactly sure, that beer from the country it was invented in, and has laws what may go into it, is terrible and nasty :D
I noticed that all of my plants with potting soil on my system are wicking and growing very effectively. Why again would you rather use coco/perlite, when you can use simple, cheep potting soil?
lol as I keep watching, he answers my question. I'll will maintain use to potting soil as its still working very well for me
Where you ordered that rain gutters? Share the link
You can gutter downspouts at Home Depot or Lowes in USA. Two sizes: 2" x 3" -or- 3" x 4".
