Man, you are pumping these videos out! Great to see!
pumping water in, pumping videos out
I’ve been learning from you since you’ve started and it’s is life saving for me to get better and growing my ” 🍅” since my mother was diagnosed with vocal cord cancer , so thank you
Really nice, love your ideas and also that you include other ideas. Love the background bush and that you always seem to have something growing. You bring a little bit of Australia to a cold northern German village. And make an old Australian a little homesick.
Another great video Hoocho !!!
I’m running quite a few AutoPots and the only thing I’d add is to ensure you clean them every month or so and have a good filter to remove any crap from your solution. On a couple of occasions (not too often to piss me off, but enough to be annoying) I’ve had the AutoPot jam and gone into the greenhouse to find it flooding the floor as the mechanism jammed on.
A good filter and the occasional clean and I’m not having that problem anymore.
I was thinking about that as the main issue especially with doing all of my growing indoors! It would be a huge mess!! I wonder if the nutrients themselves with the salts etc could cause a clogging issue?? I’m always afraid of those auto waterers.
Ladies and gentlemen! The man, the myth, the legend! BIG DOG! He’s at it again. My brain may explode from all the information you supply! Keep it up
Man I love your videos. You have big brain ideas that you share with the simplest of explanations. Great video! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Yesssss more Hoocho vids! The Autopot smart valve is an incredible design, hopefully they can drop the price a little in future $33+ per pot is difficult to scale.
For home use you could probably 3d print it as it’s not that complex (genius for sure but simple)
@kalancosta7650 so buy all the equipment to 3d print stuff instead of paying for pots? Lol
One of your better videos. Enjoyed the many different ideas and camera angles. Can tell how much work you put into shooting and editing.
I am absolutely addicted to your channel. I understand you are located in Australia. How do you deal with temperature when growing leafy vegetables/salad? How do you keep stuff from bolting? Do you use bolting resistant varieties? Have you found that lowering the water temperature helps? I would love an answer or a video from you.
Temperature control is something people tend to gloss over when thinking about hydroponic systems. Important topic especially when doing it outdoors. If you already did a video on this, I apologize. I have not gone through all of you content yet.

Very nice system. To improve water retention and root health I would recommend painting the pots white to reflect as much heat away from the roots as possible.
@RN G The pots are already black. Painting them white won’t allow light to go through
Sorry, I get what you’re saying now. It’s about the heat, not the light 👍🏻
Very happy to see your channel growing. Great tips from a great guy! Keep it up big man! <3
Ha, loved the dogs getting a ride in the garden cart! Love the self watering system! Great job!
I know me too I 😂so much seeing him drive the dogs around in the cart like he did! It was soooo funny!! ❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦
Hi Hoocho – seems I am catching your obsession and am still trying to decide which type of system to build. For me it is either a 150 dia x 2M tower or 3M NFT channels 100 x 50mm Downpipe. A question I am always up against however is that most of the Hydroponic guys never mention if they are using “Food Grade” PVC which I am personally insisting on. Does anyone really pay attention to this ? Really do love your clips. M in SE QLD.
Enjoyed the video. Really like your channel. I’m getting ready to build an aquaponic greenhouse and I have been looking for ideas on growing a few small fruit trees. That’s a really clean setup with the Autopot.
For printing the small irrigation line adapters I think you’re right about the .4 nozzle. I’ve printed some self watering containers and I wound up having to use a .4 nozzle and a .13 layer height. Not sure what slicer you use, but I also found that increasing the wall count to 3 or 4 in Cura helped make things water tight. You might also consider printing them on their side to put the layer lines perpendicular to the forces they will encounter getting knocked around. Should make the tips less likely to break off.
Spectacular! The demonstrations and time you took to make the videos are very much appreciated.
Another awesome solution Hoocho ! What material are you using as the covers on the pots ?
Great vid. They look brilliant, I’m really interested in seeing the results. A very practical, and, if needed, are also portable. Love it
You are an absolute legend. Understandable, replicable, helpful. Thank you for the inspiration – and thank you for the passion about the smart valves, you made me appreciate them too
These are brilliant! I have just started my venture into the world of hydrophonics. It’s been a lot of fun! It is amazing how many parts you can design and fabricate for this if you own a decent 3D printer. I built myself a little test setup in my closet to play around with different nutrient levels and growth methods and the 3D printer has been key in being able to do that. Also, to the people who want to automate things but are not coders, Using Chat-GPT, You can write simple python scripts and use basic relay circuits to setup a WIDE array of control systems. The one I am currently playing with is atmospheric sensing, since this setup is in a closet I want to know the values of CO2 and other particulates in the air, that way I can also play with those values eventually too. The one thing I have been playing around with on paper myself is fruit trees. After seeing this video, I now know where I need to start. Cheers and keep up the great work!
Definitely share your love for that funky float system. Love it when 21C engineering/science/design solves a centuries-old problem using no power, passive tech and low maintenance
