Happy Hydroponicing!
I love the rain gutter grow system! I’m using it for my tomatoes and 1 pepper plant, but no hooch buckets (I’m in the United States lol). but I’m using grow bags with coco and perlite. they are fruiting now! YAYY!! I was hoping to 3d print the buckets, but… I’ll have to wait till I can get my hands on some of teh hooch buckets! From what I can tell, with all the videos and such, they are going to be amazing for a variety of ways of hydroponicing! 😀 ❤🌱
Noted all tomatoes shown are of the cherry varieties, Are these buckets not large enough for normal sized tomatoes?
These are medium sized, would handle full size fruiting as well
I love your videos. I am excited to grow hydro and aero ponically
think I’m gonna buy a mixer now 😂
It’s life changing 😅
@Hoocho my missus doesn’t share my excitement 😂 appreciate the videos and effort you put in!
keep up the great work!
Question the water did not cycle through the rain gutters it only filled when it needed nutrients it wasn’t a recycling system?
It only refills
I tuoi video , sono sempre fonte di ispirazione. Quest’ anno purtroppo non sono riuscito a prepararmi l’orto domestico, ma sono super eccitato per la prossima primavera. Utilizzerò questo sistema e sono sicuro che mi divertirò tantissimo. Grazie ancora per i tuoi contenuti e un’abbraccio dalla Sardegna.
Been using these CoCo blocks for years. I love them and it works great. Great storage over bags and you get about 70 liters grow med. out each block.
Looks epic!
what PH and EC are you using here??
afaik not all plants need the same strenght of nutrian solution. how do you manage dat? it seems you only have one system and one water circulation. how do you keep track of ur nutrians and how often? is it already digitalized with sensors? 😀
You’ve become the go-to hydro pro mate! I had two questions, but you answered the first with your taste test!
Second question, do you need to flush the system now and then? Or is there never a detrimental build up of salts?
As far as I can tell the salts don’t ever build up enough, but all my greenhouse stuff is generally a single grow.
The longer lasting plants are outside and gets naturally flushed with rain.
pro grower using these 5kg cococoir bricks for years.. you will get salt build up. Always flush and retest runoff for ppm levels above 700 or you can burn most seedlings (not the first run but multiple runs, always test runoff water for boosted salt ppm levels)
What do you use to treat the bacterial spot?
This video is pure gold! 🤩
Nice love tomatoes. Do you chuck the spent plant root balls into the cement mixer to recover some of the Coco or is it not worth it?
I always reuse, till something goes wrong 😅
Hey Hooch, the coco root balls look like a prime candidate for inoculation with edible mushroom of sorts
do you leave water supply always on, and the float valve regulates the height, or is there a wet and dry cycle? Thanks.
Champion! Great results. Great videos! My kratky is up running, my nft has just been ordered and buckets look like they will make up a nice ballance to the nft.
Awesome system, 1 question I was under the impression you needed perlite for A wicking system in order for aeration or is mixing in perlite only necessary if you’re growing outside where rain can drown your plants.
I’d recommend using perlite.
But I wanted to control the conditions for this test.
If i may, when buffering the coco it’s imo the best moment to inoculate it with beneficials – especially if the coco was steamed, it will elicit the systemic resistance, and some of them won’t stay in the rhizosphere – since inoculation can be done foliar – and will compete with pathogens too, so it could be a preventive solution for bacterial spots
