I watched a video about herbs, now youtube suggests I need to start my own hydroponics garden. Putting my shoes on, going to the store right now, master
Hi there @what da math.
lol – awesome
Love your videos
hello you wonderful person
YouTube got me into getting a urban jungle of 60 house plants.
Now hydroponics?
No, no, no. I’ll go, read a good old fashioned book and save some dollars.
I used these same tots in 2010 , made huge marihuana warehouses with them tellered with gravity lines to a ppm/ph monitoring room. I used ultra sonic foggers to produce a true aeroponics mist. this worked great for beginning growth then as roots grew is size DWC took over and got amazing growth
So I’ve never done hydroponics. How long did you use this system before transplanting to a DWC? Do the roots intertwine?
Used a very similar system for cloning. Found the most important part to these type of systems (well at least for cloning..imagine growing would benefit), is plugging the pump into a Repeat Cycle Timer/repeating timer/whatever else they call them. It turns the power (pump) On for a certain period of time, and cuts the juice for a certain period of time (ex. ON 1 minute/OFF 3 minutes or some can be set for custom times) The roots need time breath/dry out a bit….when I made a few DIY bubble cloner/aerocloners in the past, would always had mixed results. Some would sprouts root, but many of the stems would rot and turn to mush. After plugging into a repeating timer…no problems.
thank you kindly for the information
thats what is happening to me.. my clones are all dying.. no roots.. so you think if i put a timer to turn on for a minute and then turn off for 3 minutes continuously will fix this? How often should i change the water? some people add a little chlorine to the solution to avoid bacteria.. wouldnt that hurt the new roots? let me know bro! 🙂
THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO!
@Cesar Yeah, the intermittent timer is the key man. Too much water CONSTANT is no good and all I got in the past is mushy stems…maybe a few would take root if I was lucky…the timer like I said is the problem fixer. And yeah, 1 min ON/3 OFF or 1min ON/4 OFF either should be a safe bet. I have seen where folks add some bleach or hydrogen peroxide…I would start with just the timer first and try the chemicals if that don’t work (ya might not need them) Happy grows!
@PHAT4LifeTV Glad it helped ya!
Man, this is probably the first time I’ve seen people show literally step by step how to completely build a thing, including having to go back and make additional cuts so it fits. A ratcheting pvc cutter is one of the coolest tools I’ve ever bought. I love any excuse to use it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Me too, any excuse. 🙂
I loved mine too. Just wait untill you get the 18 volt cordless version.
Thanks guys!!! I have a couple books and currently running an NFT system but want to make this type of larger/sturdier aero system to grow larger plants like tomatoes, etc. This makes planning and putting mine together MUCH simpler!!!
Glad we could help. We used it to grow very large tomato plants.
I’ve been researching this for weeks and this is probably the BEST and cheapest method that I have found. Very professional demonstration by these two young men, I wish them the best in their endeavors.
Thanks! Good luck with hydroponics!
3 years later this still holds its own, good job guys thanks for giving this to everyone 🙂
Happy to do it!
3 weeks later and the tomatoes are huge, cutting all light from anything else in the system…
@Andy Fetzer Grow lights….
@Family Plot what size pump gallons or liters per minute
How often do you turn the pump on,how long do you run it for?
This was a great video. I’ve always wanted to do a DIY aquaponics system, just never knew where to begin, and now I do! Thank you. Any video I looked up had too many fancy things. Honestly, just wanted something simple and to the point. Again, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is my favorite channel. Thank you!!! Please make more videos to educate me on things I may not come across otherwise. I learned so much
If you have multiple pieces of pvc to cut at the same length, cut the first one and use it as a measuring piece for the rest of the pieces. Saves some time not having to pull out the measuring tape every time. Thank you for sharing your design ideas.
That’s what I do😊
Or add the distance and pull the tape once, and no fumbling with a measure piece for each cut
Always cut the longest first…….yeah, well you might be surprised. As some found out at TSPE on the journey exam.
Very professionally done. Extremely informative. Make more of such videos. Thanks so much.
Beautifully presented guys! Once I get one of those threading bits in my drill, my “buds” will be so happy!
I love your attention to detail! Thank you 🙏
many plants would you grow in that bucket they used?
Round 2 on autoflower grow. Been using soil but looking at hydroponics as a cheaper and lesser alternative to the soil. May build me one for my tent. The growth these put out are insane. Very informative and educational.
I just started growing im using coco but i also seen videos on these. I want to get one set up for my grow tent. I wonder of a company makes premade systems
Thanks for the video guys! The materials list is awesome! Was a fun project to build, and easy with your guidance. ! My plants are almost ready ( cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes) to go in next weekend!
Glad we could help! Good luck!
Tip for anyone building this. Use reverse on your holesaw, for a nice slightly melted finish, and minimize plastic shavings. The result is very pleasing.
Wait, Only reverse? So it kinda slowly “burns” through it with no shavings?
Hole saws take some finesse to do it right. Go slow, let the drill do the work, and make sure it’s level
That’s an excellent idea, that tip is going in my wheelhouse
That is a great idea, I sure wish I’d seen this a week ago before I’d drilled some pvc with a hole saw
Works for any kind of saw really, I use this on my table saw as well.
I mean this isn’t rocket science, but the way this was presented deserves praise. Step by step and with a lot of close-up shots. Well done.
Thank you for the kind words!
Very helpful for first-timers!
It’s almost rocket science for some of us and we appreciate the very well-done example! 😁
You know nothing about rocket science and thus have no credible comparison.
This will work wonders for my opium poppies. I’m gonna flood my town with heroin.
I loved the video as it was well done and showed every step without excessive repetition. The only thing that was missing for me was mention of any nutrients that might have been needed to add to the water. Also, since I live in an area that has pretty hard water, I wonder how long before those sprayers get clogged with lime & other hard water deposits. Thank you for putting out this video.
Hey, here’s our video on Hydroponic Nutrients. Hope it helps.

Props to you guys for explaining step by step so anyone can build this. We all could benefit from a simple system like this and not have to spend so much money on veggies 🥗
Fantastic video! Thank you. The way things are going with the mighty dollar including buying groceries and using gas, this is a great way to save a buck and its fantastic the way you guys said every single thing needed, what it is, and how to accomplish this!
I built two of these and the results are amazing. I’m on my 4th season. Thanks!
