Nawl bra. This needs to be tome stamped. My Gooooood he talks so long and slow. Answers please we have lives to live. Do all that extra talking after you give relevant information. Explain the system then have fun

Dude was triggered lol
Is all the green.
Lol
Thank you. Excellent, excellent presentation (minus the little dual sound problem).
I caught that to. I thought i had another tab open.
Yeah sorry about that… we made a mistake with our editing program.
Can’t thank you enough for sharing this, it’s enlightening and inspiring!! Your web site is very helpful, too!
At 2 min 30 seconds you talk about the kale spreading out too much. However if you would harvest leaves consistently there would only be 4 to 6 leaves at the top and it would be less horizontal and more vertical. Hope that helps.
Since we’ve received quite a few questions on how to build and run this system, we created a FREE build guide on our website. Enjoy!

6:03 time stamp is when he talked about the system.
God among men. Thank you
omg thank you
Mark BSB is a true hero
here is an idea that may have been posted already but I am not reading through 200 comments.
to take up the space in your 2″ cups cut up a heavy duty black garbage bag into 4″ X 4″ pieces with a hole in the centre big enough for you to squeeze the seed plugs into. (like a square donut with a round hole in the middle)
this will act like un umbrella to cut off the light getting into your tubes causing algae blooms in your tubes and on your roots & also stopping extra evaporation from escaping.
hope you find this useful !
these can also be used over and over again & they would be very easy to clean. hair curlers are not a food safe alternative.
If you force some heavy duty garbage into the hole it’s gonna rock. Just shake it about, non-stop. You’ll thank me later.
or just tape the exposed edges from inside… then add the rock wool with the seedling. seems that should work as well
I have consulted some information with a friend of mine and we concluded that it may would be a good idea to connect those PVC tubes in parallel as well, including a valve on each one, so you could periodically close the valve and disconnect that PVC tube, if necessary.
Great video and nice setup! That is a respectable yield from 10sqft! I’ve setup many systems very similar to yours and have been running numerous botanical and agricultural experiments for the last few years. I chuckled at the creative use of hair curlers…that is definitely the first time I have seen that lol. For a cost effective replacement of the curlers you can use either neoprene foam or a 2mil+ thick outdoor trash bag (thin black trash bags won’t block enough light, must be thick outdoor bags) cut into little squares, one bag easily creates several dozen little squares. Another thing I learned is that some plants simply do not grow well with others (mint, pepper, strawberries). The primary reason for this is the nutrient consumption and nutrient dependencies. Different plants will swing the PH wildly during morning and night and consume different nutrients at various rates, causing an unbalance. Frequent nutrient solution changes would assist in this scenario or alternatively low nutrient dosing. If you really want to boost your growth rate and yield add some Rhizoblast (or any chlorella algae product) starting from seedling in half the recommended dose, but be warned, this will greatly increase root density as well. Can’t wait to see the future yields, subscribed!
Anyone have a parts list for this setup. I like fact that the width isn’t very wide and could work in the kitchen area well.
I’m just so amazed by the fact the plants can get so luscious in with such small roots 😍
Roots develope larger in nutrient poor soil
Actually, I have grown many plants, for decades, including cannabis in hydroponics stems, and the roots get very long, I have to cut most of the roots off to transplant them to coco-coir. I have had four-inch clones with 16-inch roots. It depends on genetics and nutrients.
That was an excellent overview! And amazing quality on the produce. I’m about to start this with a Kratky system next week. This was great to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Great attitude and beautiful plants. Thanks for the encouragement. Your plants look great!!!
For adding nutrients, see “dosing pump”. We use them a lot in aquariums to add nutrients. It should work fine in a system like this to deliver a prescribed dose of nutrient on a fixed schedule.
@Family van Rensburg power of a dosing pump doesn’t really matter. It’s just a rotating wheel that works a peristaltic pump to push liquid through a tube.
What an amazing setup!! Thank you for sharing!
I have been considering doing hydroponics for a couple of years and this set up is perfect, exactly what I was looking for.
You could start with a basic Kratky system grown in a cup. No need for expensive equipment. The principles stay the same and it’s a stepping stone.
I’m really digging this set up. Great stuff!
Great job 👏 👍 👌
You’ve given me confidence to try to do this 💯💯💯
Thank you for sharing with the world ❤️🙏
You really changed alot for me and my friends, we learned alot how to make a difference with very little effort and alot of fun. Thx!
Awesome system. I have been successful with the Kratky system with greens. The full spectrum adjustable led lights, a basic nutrient solution, and a little basic Youtuber knowledge and everyone can do this. What is becoming very expensive to buy at the grocery store can be offset with a compact space system. Just started experimenting with peppers with an air stone and a larger nutrient container and I had a few small peppers. Your system is the next step up. Happy green plants, you definitely got things right.
This is amazing! I have a 60-pod and 9-pod system but would love to eventually get your level. Good job!
