Happy Hydroponicing!
I’m buying an x1c soon. I’m excited to use your designs!
great video! 😊😊
Great video. I noticed that you don’t bother breaking up the root ball when you repot the plants. Is it good practice to do that?
@@antoniosanford4675 breaking up the rootball is not necessary if your plants aren’t rootbound
But hevey manual intervention required ib this system
It takes about ten minutes to automate with a small pump, a timer and a 100 L bin full of nutrient (I used a 50$ aliexpress solar plant watering system as I dont have a handy power point-it does go through more nutrient than a recycling system so a decent size reservoir either to fill your watering can from or throw a pump into is useful. Mixing up a watering can worth of nutrient everyday or so is more than a little painful).
What I want is a source of decent cococoir that isn’t too expensive…I’m only doing small scale-a vertical planter and a couple of pots so far but if I want to expand it’s going to get pricey either in shipping or product (I’m in South Australia)
@@susanstewart5134 can you please help remotly for setup one small area on the roof ? one point here temprature range is 5 to 45 degree of celcius
Do you have time to interact with farmers?
the production quality on these are starting to get a tad to high. stop making the big guys with huge budgets look bad or they might send a hitman at you bro 😛
Is it a bad idea to mix compost with coco coir in a drain to waste system, i was planning to set up a drain to waste system over the next couple of days
It’s not ideal, but only because I can’t define “compost”
Some mixes may work, others not.
@@Hoocho thanks for replying so promptly I will stick with coir perlite mix and experiment with some additional plants on a compost perlite coir mix. I was worried it would affect the CEC but that would differ for any compost mixed in as you said
i love drain to waste hydroponics systems like these and even though they’re the simplest really think they’re one of the best! You don’t get any of the selective nutrient uptake you get from other systems that disrupts the ec and ph and since you’re not recirculating back into the res there’s way less potential for gunk to grow in the reservoir. Also if you water till runoff you constantly flush the system and your media always has the perfect ph and perfect ec, which pretty much any other type of system can’t do without daily monitoring. I have something setup like this but that’s automated with drip irrigation and don’t think you can ask for a more efficient and ideal system.
What a great day. Huge bacon, sausages, and egg breakfast, got my guts rearranged, and now a Hoocho video! It’s looking up, boys!
How much drain though Hoocho? Come see the hydro farm I work at Wamaran, and I’ll make you an expert at ‘Drain to Waste’ in an hour.

Hey Hoocho do you alternate your nutrients with plain water in your gutter grow system for your dragonfruit? If so how often?
And if so you just pour from the top or run fresh water into the gutter?
Cheers.
@@SnifterRoux No alternation.
The dragonfruit is drain to waste too.
what ph and tds should we maintain sir…
Good to see you again!
i love to plant almost every vegetable in coco, but as i do that price is somehow steep, so i use cheapest one, rise it, and rinse it good, and then do buffering with calmag, works great and it is cheaper than buying “hydrophonic grade” coco coir.
Very Cool Hoocho and mate love your Rum thinking just mite have to buy a New still wow very impressed
I’m in the states and was not able to see anything that actually said “hydroponic” on the coir?
Who’s Danny?
