Detailed; liked it
Hello Mrs Gwen, welcome to our community and the channel!! Thank ya mam, I thought I'd include everything in that build and I'm glad you enjoyed it as well!! I thank ya for watching and commenting mam, have a great week!! Dan
Really nice build Dan! Great details. You KNOW CB’s got it right. 😁. Love my debuting tools. Use them all the time PVC, metal, they all give in to that handy tool. Looking forward to your grow. Take care.
Thank y'all for watching Mr Henry and yes sir, I'm really liking hat deburring tool, I went old school for years, flat razor or knife lol!! Y'all have a good week sir!! Dan
@@HomeInTheSticks I first learned about this type of deburring tool in 1974 working on a tool crib at a testing facility. I rediscovered it while working as a maintenance manager close to 20 years ago. It sure makes the job quick and easy!
Great Tutorial and camera angles
The video wasn’t long ..
Thank you Dan
Thank ya for watching Mr D and I tried to show everything close up as I always want to see them close up shots myself when I watch videos like this lol!! Y'all have a good week sir!! Dan
@@HomeInTheSticks Good stuff ..
Great video!
Thank ya Highland farms n Stables, welcome to our community and the channel!! Have a great rest of the week!! Dan
Really nice video, thank you !
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mrs Stefanie, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! Have a great Tuesday!! Dan

Thank y'all for watching Mr Calvin, y'all have a good week sir!! Dan
❤ Great video my friend
Thank ya MMZ Grow and I thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to our community and the channel!! You have a great rest of the week!! Dan
Thank ya buddy. Stay safe and God bless.
Hello Brady Tanguay, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! Cool, glad ya enjoyed the video, it's a pretty neat setup to grow lettuce for sure!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, have a great week!! Dan
Bro this was the dopest video i have ever seen on creating your own grow system my question is how long does the nutrient water last and how often do you need to put more in or is it just good to go man this is dope!
Cool, glad ya enjoyed the video sir, welcome to our community and the channel!! On a lettuce grow, I'd just monitor the nutes in the water using an EC and PH meter, longer grows will require a nute and water change, longer meaning maters or a plant that's a nute hog lol!!! Have a great week and I preciate ya stopping by the channel!!!! Dan
Nice build Dan. That is pretty freaking cool man. YOu have done your homework and got this thing rockin. On that air pump deal, I just know from running aquariums back in the day that they do make a check valve that will keep that water from running out. I mean you got yours resolved the cheap and easy way but just wanted you to know that they do make those.
I am interested in seeing this grow. All yall got me wanting to do this too lol. I did order me one of those aerogardens that should be here soon I hope.
Thank ya for watching Ronnie and yes sir, ya might not be able to see them, but I did have a pair of check valves on the lines when I tested the pump and air stones, once I got that pump elevated above the stones, I took them off lol!! I think once you see how efficient that Aerogarden is, you'll wanna try building your own system!! Have a good week sir, y'all stay safe!! Dan
@@HomeInTheSticks ahh yeah you are right I didn’t see them at all. I sure hope so! I’m pretty stoked about getting it! Thanks buddy
Great video thank you! Now that cannibis is legal in Arizona im thinking about applying this technique for a closet grow 🤔 hope it works! Lol
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Randy, welcome to the channel and our community sir!! Cool, hope this method works out for ya because it sure grows the heck outta some lettuce lol!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a good Wednesday!! Dan
Thank you for sharing! I’m not sure if you’re still on here, but I’m hoping to try this! I’ve always grown with dirt so I’m excited for my new endeavor!
Hello Mrs Megan, welcome to the channel and our community mam!! Yes mam, I still update the channel regularly and it's awesome that you're gonna give hydroponics a try!! I've always grown in dirt myself but I was amazed at how well things grow in a water based growing environment!! Good luck in your journey and I thank ya for watching and commenting, come back and visit when ya can!!! Have a great weekend!! Dan
Perfect! Would you mind telling me what the piece is called that is connected to the tubes on the outside of the tote? The small black fitting- I can’t seem to find it online (must be my spelling).
Yes mam, that's called a ebb & flow fitting or a 1/2" tub outlet, some folks call it a bulk head fitting as well!! Dan
Nice!
Cool!! Thank ya for watching and commenting BATMANROBIN2 ROBINBATMAN2, welcome to our community and the channel!! Preciate ya stopping by, you have a great week!! Dan
A nutrient smoothie! CB is a good one to learn from. Nice build Dan. Nicely explained. Was the plants touching the water?
Thank ya for watching PAPA and no sir, in this system, the plants get misted from the small air bubbles that rise to the top of the water!! Have a good un sir!! Dan
been interested in this form of growing ill check out CB's also. Have a good Dan,, RG
Thank ya for watching RG!! I do believe that the lettuce will grow faster in this system compared to Kratky, I may do a comparison of the two system outta curiosity lol!! Have a good week sir!! Dan
Thanks Dan, clear instructions. Going to use this with students to start our own hydroponics garden. Do you use special lights?
Hello Mr John, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! Awesome, glad to hear you're sharing hydroponics with students, it's a great growing method and something they can pass on later in life!! Yes sir, I use grow lights specifically made for growing vegetables!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, come back and visit when ya can, have a great weekend!! Dan
Nice job brother. I do a 27 gallon that is very similar. Though I found all black on the container is too hot for certain varieties of plants. Otherwise, Awesome setup
Hello Jas Blick, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! Thank ya for the kind words sir and yes sir, during the summer those black totes will certainly heat up. I normally run this system during the winter for lettuce and it works great!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, come back and visit when ya can, have a great week sir!! Dan
This is a fantastic video. It was easy to understand. Curious how much the items cost if you’d tell us. I just need an estimate. I really appreciate the way you explained the project.
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to our community and the channel!! The biggest expense is the tote itself, it was around $25 several ears ago. As far as the parts, I shopped around for months looking at different hydro sites but to answer your question, one could put a DWC tote together for around $25-30!!! Dan
Nice! Where did you get those flat aeration discs for 1/4 inch hose?
Thank ya for watching and commenting ozricus, welcome to the channel and our community!! If I'm not mistaken I purchased those disk off of Amazon, they were hard to find lol!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan
Hi Dan new here and planning out my indoor set up after rather in the midst of this wickedly unforgiving summer. Is there a fool proof amount of time to set the lights for lettuce or will that change much from seedling to maturity? Also, I love the details because what causes my procrastination is the specifics on the parts. Learnedvmy lesson last year on the precise hole saw attachment. They usually are not on hand when you are looking for them. 😆 Murphys Law for me
Hello Leslie Anne, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! On my light setup, I ran my lights for 12 on and 12 off and seemed to work for me and I also moved the lights up accordingly as the lettuce plants mature!! I feel your pain on Murphy's Law, he never fails to find me at times lol!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, come back and visit when ya can, have a great week!! Dan
blender trick noted. thx
Cool, thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Mark, welcome to our community and the channel!! Dan
@@HomeInTheSticks I'm over on GrowBuddy, too. got the lemon cello cups.
Where did you get the air bubbles? I've never seen the circles before. Love your build by the way.
Hello hef Baecht, welcome to the channel and our community!! I purchased those circular air stones on Amazon if I'm not mistaken, thus far they have been working good as the lettuce is growing great!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, have a great Thursday!! Dan
how often do you need to change the water and does the air stones have to be constantly ran? thanks for the great video!
Hello Nick N, welcome to the channel and our community!! On my DWC lettuce grows, I typically don't change the water out as it's normally a 30-60 day grow, I reckon one could do a water change but I've never seen a reason too. As far as the air stones, yes they run 24/7!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, come back and visit when ya can!! Have a great week!! Dan
Thank you do you run the air constantly
Yes sir, the air pump runs 24/7 to keep them air stones bubbling!! Dan
Struggling to find the ebb and flow 1 1/4 bulk head fitting. Can you drop a link into the comments?
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr John, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! I bought the ebb and flow fitting from PA Hydroponics!! Dan
Hello Dear Friend Again Iam Here For You
Hello By Arbab N Tube, welcome to our community and the channel!! I thank ya for watching and I'm here for you too!! Have a great week!! Dan
@@HomeInTheSticks
Thanks Friend 😊 Stay in Touche
Do you think you could do 8 lettuce plants with this same setup?
Thank ya for watching and commenting Free As Can Be, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes one could BUT it would be a bit crowded and dependent on the lettuce species, one plant may block the others from getting light!! Hope this may answer your question!! Dan
What lights are you using?
Thank ya for watching and commenting Yeeters, welcome to our community and the channel!! I had that DWC under some fluorescent tubes, one warm and one cool tube, colors that is...........Dan
Do you have a list of where to buy all this stuff?
Thank ya for watching and commenting Geed UpDog, welcome to our community and the channel!! I bought everything for that tote build in the irrigation section at Lowes, my local store has a pretty nice selection!! Dan
