4/4/2023. Thank you for posting your video from buffalo NY. I greatly appreciate your creativity and craftsmanship. Many blessings to you and your family.
Nice video. Thank you for taking the time. A clear nutrient tank will probably give you problems with algae. Black would be better. Also, the pipe going back into the nutrient tank should be shorter so it makes a splash when it returns. This should give better aeration
@@youfunny4180 I would put a timer on it to stay on for about a half hour every hour. some plants can handle 24/4 moisture but others need a break or they will "drown". Also put a small aerator in the tank to helps keep the roots healthy.
@@youfunny4180 Another way to do it would be closer to nft (nutrient film technique, plenty of videos on YT) : you would arrange the pipes in such a way that the flow of water is much lower, so only the bottom part of the roots touch the nutrient. This way no risk of drowning your plants, and it could be run 24/24h. You can keep a “longish” return pipe and add a bubbler in the tank to add oxygen (if you don’t like the splashing noise maybe) but this would require one more electric device (you can find some with tiny solar panels though).
@LogosFarm I wouldn’t recommend having leafy greens, herbs and fruiting varieties in the same setup. You need different EC (electro conductivity, the amount of nutrients in water) levels for different cultivars and maybe different light intensities for vegetative state or ripening. The time from seed to harvest is also very different (about one month for lettuce vs. several months for tomatoes), so the bigger plants would suck all the nutrients very quickly. Finally the size of the roots are very different - for tomatoes or peppers I would not recommend a rail/gutter/nft style setup but rather some kind of deep water culture / dutch bucket setup eith much bigger containers… You could definitely mix different leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, etc.) together. Herbs I tend to keep longer so I have them in small-ish kratky units that I can keep for several months.
I can imagine all the stoners coming in to look at this... Seriously though, this is an excellent, cheap way to grow veggies at home! Add in a couple of fish tanks, and you have an Aquaponics setup, with the waste from the fish providing nutrients for the plants and those same plants cleaning the water for the fish. Its a great way to grow veggies and have a few fish to eat as well. Great job!
For most of us , space to keep the aquarium is a major issue. Else, perfect idea since composting and vermiculture also needs a lot of space. Time also. Minimum 15-30 days for composting, forget proper idea of method to do same
You need a very high bio-load to achieve optimal growth, a small aquarium with a few fish aren't going to be enough nutrients to adequately grow your food.
A couple of notes. Make sure your pump isnt too fast for any of the bends, water will back up, especially when roots fill the flow tubes. Water will fill the flow tubes to the depth of the end cap hole, so the hole width for the cups need to be created so that the bottom of the cup sits below the end cap water exit level. Drill holes in the cups so that all the holes are in the water to prevent microbial growth and evaporation.
@@Yvola If you try to.pack of balls nature will arrange itself in a lattice like you depicted. It's called hexagonal lattice or hexagonal packing which gives the highest possible packing density.
Because he is working in metric system, his first pvc cut is at 115 cm. Closest one can get in American measures and supplies: using 4" pvc pipe in 4 ft lengths, first mark is at 6" and then 6" apart will yield seven marks per pipe for cuts with 51cm hole saw for 2" net cup. My husband raised me well, bless him! I think you can do the build from there without me, lol!
I found this very interesting, could you provide measurements so we can replicate? Also is it possible to do it with only two or three pipes in each level?
Looks like he's using about 40 feet of 77mm or roughly 3" pipe for the plant tubes. Also appears to be using a 3" x 1" pvc reducer (2 for each tube end), 90° pvc elbow 1" (again, 2 for each tube end), 1" pvc that goes in between to join the elbows (I'd say he bought close to 20ft of it at least). That is all for the plant tubes. For the frame, he's using 1" pvc pipe (same as the one used to join the elbows), with several 1" T couplings. Last but not least, he has pvc glue to "cement" all the pieces together.
Thank you :) millimeters or inches doesn't matter, important is only the proportions, everyone can look the numbers up and find something that is close by the normsize they have.
Thank you so much, im about to start a large one about 10 systems deep inspired by this video. I hope it works! Progressing towards self sustainability
@@nocomplysoldier really ? i have both conduit and s40 and the s40 is sturdier. the conduit keep bending like jim carry's legs in the mask (just a reference).
2:30 dude's pinkie nail reminds me of my dad when he was in restaurant cooking and he needed to peel shrimp shells fast. Props to you for using power tools at same time
I would love to see a follow up video. The lack of air with a water levels that deep in the pipe will probably cause a ton of phytophthora(root rot). Maybe air stones were used later?
It's great! only a few complaints: - PVC will not hold up to sunlight as it gets brittle to UVC. Future builds will have to be made from different materials. - The water and nutrient tank needs to be opaque. Your clear one won't get hot enough to keep algae from growing.
At 1:30 he shows the uPVC type and diameter of the pipe. The clear reservoir is a problem, but if he is cleaning it when changing nutrients, it shouldn't get bad. Air stones would help plant growth and health.
You should not use a "clear" plastic bin for a nutrient reservoir, ratherly, opaque is preferable. Light shining though clear plastic will encourage algae growth and bacteria will grow on dead algae. This will create a mess to clean, and you want the nutrients for your plants rather than algae and bacteria.
@@arthura7442 😁 my comment was meant for anyone who reads it. One may simply learn something or one may avoid making an avoidable mistake. Clear plastic is not the best choice in this aplication.
Not sure what you are growing, but you probably need larger diameter pipe, (roots will clog the pipe) and they are too close together (for bushy plants). Putting the pipes at different levels would also help. Like an A-Frame. As someone else said , the clear reservoir will grow a lot of alge.
2 things. 1. I feel one end needs to have slight elevation to assist the fill and drain principle. 2. Two pvc tube at the very very bottom filled with sand to make the system more stable when all the weight of water is pumped to the top. Just a thought.
Great project. You may find you get algae in a clear box, so try to keep out as much light as you can. While chemical hydroponics will work, the juice from composting and worm composting will work too and also be more organic. Thanks for the video.
@@raymondmichael4987 Yes I would love to know more about this! One of the things I´m researching is that one. Getting the specialized chemicals in my country is very expensive and not worthy to grow vegetables. I was thinking about using the liquid fertilizer resulting as a byproduct of biogas digestion. I have a channel, Fact Based Prepping where I´m going to post my own builds. Maybe it would be interesting for you to join.
NFT ( neutral Film Technique )system looks great use to build them for dope smokers and old people for there balconies they work great this is a nice build well made
Nice idea. Try adding bubbler pipe for oxygen to the root zone. You could stick a length the size of the pipe in each one would improve output 100%...Great video keep them rocking
@@jaimelemus45 lol if you can use bubbler line. Its like airline perferated which can be used as a airstone for dwc will float @alienhydroponics use a large version in there silver 36ltr pro rdwc system. Very usefull . You could run a length down each pipe would improve production no end.we use it instead of airstones excellent stuff. Good luck stay lucky✌️😎
Thanks for the idea. Can you tell what was the white thing in which seeds were put , in which they grew and later was transferred in plastic cups.. what was the white base. Thanks.
Tq so much sir for thia vedio .after i watch this vedio am happy bcz i dont know how to setup hydroponic systeam .you explained so clearly .am so greatfull to you sir tqs a lot sir .
Nice tidy build. The system would be difficult to clean when the nutrient solution needs to be changed.Shield your reservoir from sunlight to prevent algae .With water that deep in the pipe , it`s likely that you will get some root rot because there will be a lack of oxygen in the water. A large bubbler ( air stone ) in the res. fed by an air pump would help with that .A shallower water level inside the rails would be better to help the plants develop their air roots , ( Nutrient Film Technique ) or NFT. The system looks great.
It'd have been nice if you could share the list of pvc pipes and dimensions (including lengths of cuts) with us. People may want to base their variations on your ideas. Thank you.
Go full screen and look at the tape measure and ruler that they use. The video was made almost a year ago on ANOTHER channel. I am not sure that english is their first language, but they where showing the measurements throughout. The only one that they didn't really show was the stand which would vary due to the availability of the capture chamber. ;)
Так Он по ходу сборки, и так всё показывал, все эти размеры, соединительных трубок. И так же все эти расстояния разметок для больших отверстий под стаканчики на самих больших трубах. А какие Вам ещё нужны размеры?
Thank you a lot, very helpful, but lemme ask for the what kind of vegetable in one system cuz i see 4or 3, its not problem if we put in the same nutrient. Thank you
I like the build.... your corners should be made of the same size pvc as your rails. Looks like you are going for an NFT system. Should be a small stream of solution not having the tunes full. Might cause issues with root rot. Also your tank is clear I'd paint it to keep algae from growing. Lastly your drain pipe needs to be shorter to aerate the res or you will need an air stone
This looks good for a certain degree. The only prblem is that I live indoors and live in a climate that has winter. If anything I would do this for spring and summer. In any other case I would do one inside or in a greenhouse that I can control the temperature.
Because of the way sun rises and sets and the fact the sun won't reach them directly north your plants won't grow straight and grow falling off your balcony trying to reach the sunlight. Also your water reservoir needs to be a solid color. Light cannot pass through otherwise algae will form. You could always paint the one you have since you glued the water drain in the lid like that but it'll work. It's a very nice and clean well put together system very well done. Just a few tweaks and you will have a perfect setup
Reservoir looked a little small IMO. Probably run out of water first, before filling the grow beds completely. Water temps are going to cook the plants roots.
@@unejoy9324 yes and yes. I've tried using transparent plastic bottles for my self watering plant, but one has color and it is kinda opaque. The one that has color is the only one that didnt develop algae inside.

Great video! Looking into replicating this and giving it a go! Do you have a list of parts you used atall, struggling to find the correct downsizers. Thank you
just figure it out. Depends on how big or small you want it, at least he's showing assembly - IMO i'd build a sturdy stand for your trays because with water and plants growing it's going to be heavy for PVC.
Better use costlier but more easier to clean troughs of 4"-6" with caps and 1" pipes to connect water at ends. Troughs can be easily cleaned. Troughs used for water harvesting on rooftops too.
Caramba amigo eres un mundo de conocimientos, tan joven y manejas muchas tecnologías, desde alimento hasta construcción y ensamble de vehículo (la moto azul me gusto) felicitaciones y gracias por compartir lo de hidroponia, como se llama el aparato para medir y controlar la mezcla.
Not a bad design, but I think it would be better to use square PVC pipes for most uses. It would allow more stability of the system, allow less light to go through to prevent algae growth and seat the plugs better. That being said, I do see it as a great way to produce some good food for cheap!
Square is more expensive. I priced out various materials for a system similar to this and the cheapest overall is what is being used in this video. Aluminum gutter downspouts are cheaper by the foot for some reason where I live currently, but the connectors get you. While a 10ft section of aluminum downspout runs about $18, one single 90-degree connector is almost the same cost. A 10 foot section of 3in PVC is around $30 here and the connectors are $1-$3. I even priced out using wood for the water channels (enameled) and that's still more expensive than PVC. I have not seen square PVC pipe here. The closest I've seen to that would be vinyl gutter downspouts, but I am a little reluctant to use such due to the possibility of leeching chemicals into the water. PVC is quite resistant to chemicals and leeching.
You're going to need to get an opaque nutrient reservoir or paint the existing one black or wrap it in aluminum foil. if you don't do something your best crop will be algae.
I would probably angle the pipes so that the water doesn't stagnate as the roots grow out. I might also change to four parallel paths so that fungus might only wipe out 1/4 of your crop. It would also simplify how the pipes are angled.
Could you elaborate on this please? I'm in the process of building a system so wanted to know if there are particulars that I should be watching out for.
I like this vlogger. No talk, just work. Very neat job. I hate vloggers who talk too much just to prolong their video time. Thanks man.
Agreed.

One question is water pump to be kept running all the time round the clock or for specific time of day.

This system is good for beginner. Thank you very much for sharing. I'm really keen to start on it. Hope to see more of your work. 👍👍👍

- PVC will not hold up to sunlight as it gets brittle to UVC. Future builds will have to be made from different materials.
- The water and nutrient tank needs to be opaque. Your clear one won't get hot enough to keep algae from growing.
Could paint the pvc and the tote with a basic exterior paint to solve both of these issues.
Agree with you, We can use UPVC pipes for better durabilty and protection against UV rays.

PVC gets really hot under the sun, isn't that a problem for the plants ? ( I understand the water cools it, but still...)
I don't want to be that one but from someone that just had eye surgerym wear safety glasses. Other than that, loved this, this was fun to watch.

I think it is foam .It use packing industry
It's seedling sponge. NPK solution mixed in water. Google for more detailed answers.
@@ikarthi thanks dude
Highly outstanding , I am going to build one for myself ! Then I can start selling herbs , and several different vege's !
did you build it ?
Sistema hidroponico:
4 tubos de 75h2.2mm
12 reductor 75-27
2 tubos de 27mm
26 codos de 27 mm
mueble
4 tubos de 34 mm
24 T de PVC de 34 mm
4 cierre de 34 mm
no son acaso 24 reductores o conte mal
I wish I could work as fast as this guy
Why in the philippines do we have to get these bloody orange pipes??? Hardware stores do not have these nice grey color pipes
Hahaha, hope you find them soon mate
Shopee is the key 😊
It is beautiful and is very useful when there is no space, thanks for the video you are very good 👍❤️
Please Unbox and Review Od Rod Less Welding Machine that I Can Import To India
Please 🙏🙏🙏
Love 😘 From India
You Are So Great And Intelligent
Which Degree You Got that you have all type of Knowledge
Please tell With Reply
To the point!
excellent !
Great video! Looking into replicating this and giving it a go! Do you have a list of parts you used atall, struggling to find the correct downsizers. Thank you
one of best hydroponic systems 🎉
possible to list out all the materials you used for the setup? so i can pass the list to the hardware store to get everything.
Pl.provide list of all material you used with measurements that I can give to hardware store to make the unit.
just figure it out. Depends on how big or small you want it, at least he's showing assembly -
IMO i'd build a sturdy stand for your trays because with water and plants growing it's going to be heavy for PVC.
@@nocomplysoldier You don't know what you are talking about..
Better use costlier but more easier to clean troughs of 4"-6" with caps and 1" pipes to connect water at ends.
Troughs can be easily cleaned. Troughs used for water harvesting on rooftops too.
Very nice idea for hydroponics a beautiful and perfect design thanks you and good 💗 bless you
He can build an entire city with all those tools in the back ground 🏙
I was thinking that too
Caramba amigo eres un mundo de conocimientos, tan joven y manejas muchas tecnologías, desde alimento hasta construcción y ensamble de vehículo (la moto azul me gusto) felicitaciones y gracias por compartir lo de hidroponia, como se llama el aparato para medir y controlar la mezcla.
se llama medidor de solidos totales disueltos (tds) o de electroconductividad (EC)
This is so cool. I wish i had the money to make something like that.
Great design! Will the plants live for a while if the pump stops? What material are the cubes the seeds are planted in?
Wow nice ...love FARMING guys so many subscriber ur very lucky thanks for sharing
Not a bad design, but I think it would be better to use square PVC pipes for most uses. It would allow more stability of the system, allow less light to go through to prevent algae growth and seat the plugs better. That being said, I do see it as a great way to produce some good food for cheap!
I found square alternative to be much more expensive and the fittings are t water tight as is meant for rain water.
Square is more expensive. I priced out various materials for a system similar to this and the cheapest overall is what is being used in this video. Aluminum gutter downspouts are cheaper by the foot for some reason where I live currently, but the connectors get you. While a 10ft section of aluminum downspout runs about $18, one single 90-degree connector is almost the same cost. A 10 foot section of 3in PVC is around $30 here and the connectors are $1-$3. I even priced out using wood for the water channels (enameled) and that's still more expensive than PVC. I have not seen square PVC pipe here. The closest I've seen to that would be vinyl gutter downspouts, but I am a little reluctant to use such due to the possibility of leeching chemicals into the water. PVC is quite resistant to chemicals and leeching.
@@amymoriyama6616 how can i contact you, please ? i need the specifications you used for such a system, Thank you
GUD VERI GUD VERI VERI NICE VIDEO

Hi, can you give me the lists of all the materials you've been using including the sizes and also the machine you were using. Thanks
And big fries for me too!
impressive upload Creative Channel. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the superior work.
You're going to need to get an opaque nutrient reservoir or paint the existing one black or wrap it in aluminum foil. if you don't do something your best crop will be algae.
I learned that the hard way.
Very nice! If you put the return in the tank, above water. It should create air bubbles? Light creates algae?
Excelente proyecto, ideal para la vida en las ciudades, felicitaciones
Nice video , thank you for sharing your knowledge
👌👌👍👍🤝
What is the white colour material that you use as soil to grow the roots .
I want to know too. Anyone can help?
They call it growing medium.
Great build! ❤🇺🇸
I would probably angle the pipes so that the water doesn't stagnate as the roots grow out.
I might also change to four parallel paths so that fungus might only wipe out 1/4 of your crop. It would also simplify how the pipes are angled.
long as a water pump is on 24/7 then stagnate wont be a problem.
What about the plastic contamination in the output ❓
Very nice bro
How do you handle mosquitoes in the grow tubes , as water does not drain completely
You might consider adding a separate drainage system for res changes so that you don't have to vacuum the water out of those pipes
Could you elaborate on this please? I'm in the process of building a system so wanted to know if there are particulars that I should be watching out for.
@@laypyu Yo can just elevate the non drain side and it would not be a problem
