My system is pretty similar but I used elbows for the ends and wrapped it around a vertical frame kindof like a water slide… I get about 1/3 more spots to grow using almost the same surface area (8 pipes instead of 4). I Love how clean this one looks though
Thanks for watching ❤️
Can we get the ready made accessories for assembling
@Kemo Lollen I live in Germany at the moment but you could get most of what you need at Home Depot for pretty cheap. I watched some videos, got inspired and the system I built is using elements of all of them. I have a small balcony so I had to build something for that space. As long as you follow the basic principles you can build a system in any shape. For me the most expensive part was the hole saw attachments and the hydroponic nutrients. Also nobody mentions this but your water pump needs to be strong enough to pump water to the top of your system. Mine barely makes it at 2 meters high but I had to return 2 pumps before I found one strong enough. The “ready made” kits are really overpriced for what you get
@Kemo Lollen I recommend building one yourself. Its cheaper and something anyone can do in an afternoon
@PB hi,do you grow all year round and what plants do you grow?
Thanks for the detailed build 👍. Early in the video it looks like there are 5 grow tubes. In the final, there are only 4. The yield looks like 20 grow spots. I would actually like the additional 5 grow spots with 1 more tube. 3 types of lettuce + basil + cilantro. Do you think that would work? How did you calculate the amount of nutrients? Is it so much per plant or so much per volume of water? Thanks.
Hi Michael
It looks 5 because I used short clip from my previous video , its all depends on your space , try to make it even numbers so your inlet and the last tube will be at same side.
The ratio of the nutritional solution varies from one plant to another .
Start with leafy vegetables ..
Thank you so much Sir for sharing. I am a beginner and about to try my hands out on home gardening. Your step wise video is really really helpful. You made it quite understandable in a short time. God bless You.
Thanks for watching .
Very informative video! I live in a city in India, so not sure what plants might be good (temps of 41 C in summer, around 20 C in winter). Could you share any links you used as reference for the nutrient concentrations, flow rate calculations?
Also, would be good if you can share how much the entire system cost you to build. If you can give a breakup of the cost, that’d be even better!
Hi there !
The system cost me around 50 USD , it’s depends on the prices on your place , you can screen shot the things and go at your local hardware store and ask about the prices , so you know how much will cost you , ( that’s how I always do )
I really don’t know what plants can grow at your place , Normal hot plants like cucumber , watermelon , tomatoes …
The flow rate I run my pump 30 min and off 30 min (using timer )
Off at night ,
The nutrition I use Hydroponic liquid fertilizer .
Thank you.
Tomato , cucumber and melons need vertical or horizontal space which is not enough in the shown plan. Tomatoes need vertical supports and trimming to be done frequently forget breathing space.
Grow plants that need a lot of water like salad greens at first. then do trials with other plants.
Did you got chance to calculate the expense for building like yhe one presented in India?
Hey, did you try this to build??. How much does it cost you??. Where do you live in india??. Even i am Indian.
Nice idea and thanks for the detail on the solutions used.
A few points. You headline this as cheap but then used far more fittings than required. Also, with a 3/4″ feed from the pump not even running at capacity, you don’t need 11/2″ connections between the grow tubes.
If you stand the assembly off the wall on 2″ wooden blocks you will avoid the condensation around the grow tubes damaging the wall. Also gives a little more room for the plant to grow.
If you stood it off the wall by even more, you cut down possible routes to the leaves by pests like slugs etc.
👍
Thank you
Thanks
Sir you know about the hudroponic system….
Liked your short tutorial vid. Im in the Philippines and been looking for an easy to follow how tos with detailed materials used. Can you also make a tutorial for fruit bearing ones? Btw, there shouldnt be any direct contact with sunlight? Or its okay with little sunlight? Our country’s tropical. Thanks!
Hi there !
Plants need sunlight or semi shade .
This system is suitable for leafy greens , herbs, strawberry , for big plants you can try this system

Thanks ! Would the EC and pH ever change depending on what you grow? I’d like to grow herbs 🌿 such as basil , rosemary etc.
Hi there !
Plants will do well btw 5.5_6.5 pH
For herbs ec btw 1.2_1.5 .

Great video , 👍
I’ve been a hydroponic technician for about twenty four years and that’s the first time I’ve seen a deep water snake design mounted and or attached to a concrete wall. Kooly!

Always running your system ?
Nice video 👌
Thank you for sharing your build with us! Really nice job and great growth!
welcome
é BR? Parabéns! Seus videos são muito bons, assisti qse todos, depois desse video! Muito instrutivo e esclarecedor! Espero por mais vídeos!
It looks very professional, but the PVC piping made it prohibitively expensive for me. 4″ fittings are really expensive since they’re rated for pressure while this is a non-pressure holding environment. Projected cost for doing this was $40 in the pipe alone, not to mention the brackets.
Making it out of rain gutter (I’d probably use vinyl downspout so it’s still got the benefit of sealing off light from algae) is probably WAY cheaper and requires even less fitting. I will say this looks MUCH more professional tho
thanks for sharing your thoughts here . I appreciate
There are a couple of other videos online that show systems made from recycled orange juice or milk jugs. So? You could definitely still do it and just change the item that you’re using AzarMain holding device.
If you use drainage quality 4″ pipes and fittings it’s way cheaper.
Try looking at ABS pipe instead of PVC , the ABS is most often black instead of white and is not pressure rated as it is used for drains. Where I live ABS is cheaper than PVC
wow this was great! I am setting up a hydroponics set up in my house this week. I’ve had success with indoor salad greens growing already, so now I hope to expand to some different options with doing a vertical wall set up. I have assembled the pvc structure, I just need to figure out the right size water container to hold everything. My rabbit and I are very excited about this project. Thank you for all the details on how you did yours!
you’re welcome all the best.
Hi Kristen, do you have special indoor lighting for your greens since they are inside?
@CRAFTTIME I purchased growing lights at Walmart for my wall set up. They were relatively cheap and were easy to connect together and plug into a timer. They handled my salad greens pretty well. I tried growing from a window box too, using just natural light but my cats decided that was a bad idea for now 🤣
Using Tapcons for the wall would be a more secure than plastic drywall plugs, as those usually break under any sort of strain. They also don’t bite into concrete very well. Tapcons literally tap the concrete like tap and die tools, and will hold a great deal of weight.
Also, drain plugs with screw caps in the bottom of each of those would allow for drainage and cleaning so they can be used for longer periods. Water, no matter how clean, gets slimy. If you start getting root rot (and even if you don’t), it’s a good idea to have 35% strength food grade hydrogen peroxide on hand to add to the water (make sure to mix very well in your water solution, and only use the recommended amount). It’s used to clean veggie bins at supermarkets and such. However, be very, very careful with it. It will give you white spots on your skin because it’s caustic/corrosive at that strength. Even the first aid stuff isn’t something to use a lot, because it eats scar tissue.
Since your inlet and discharge tubes are above a water line you might have considered individual drain taps so you can do a complete evac for a nutrient change. Otherwise yoo always have nutrient in the pipes no matter what. Nice setup though.
good idea thanks
First off Thank you so much for taking the time and money to share a detailed instruction video for free to all who want to learn and give it a go !! One thing I’ve noticed about all these hydroponic setups both indoor home and larger scale production labs is you seem to be fairly limited to what you can grow such a micro greens…small herbs and small amounts of salad leaves although I could be ignorant to its full scope of use it’s just all I ever see grown is small salad leaves. In fact this outdoor set-up seems to have way more viable options than the usual modern electric setups. It just hurts me as a home grower to see people paying $20+ for 8 tiny docs of peat with a single seed in each. Especially the real fancy counter space setups most take months to grown enough leaves for a hobbit sized salad 🙄
Hobbits have appetites disproportionately large for their size. 🙃
Once you get the plants you want yountake cuttings and clone them to make as many as you want forever.
Instead of telling us it isn’t good you could give tips on how it is actually done… What can we do with this information 😂
Thanks for the idea shown here. Anyway, for how long should we change the water and nutrients? Are they to stay like that in the same repetitive cycle?
Love the video. Thank you for sharing. Hydroponics is such a great way to grow. If I could add my two cents, and you probably already know this, but you’ll have to paint the tubes a dark color to prevent algae from taking over. It’ll rob the water of oxygen if you let it. If you already have algae, don’t bother breaking the entire system down to clean it. Just paint the tubes a dark color and make sure you don’t have any algae in the reservoir. The algae will die without light and then get circulated and reabsorbed by the plants.
Thank you very much, you are right, the best to paint the tubes.
Hey! Absolutely great, well presented video! Thank you.
thanks you’re welcome.
Hey if you don’t mind me asking how much did it all cost you to create this system and to also maintain the system? Cause I love the idea and it looks like I can maximize my production even in a small space😊
hi there!
It depends on the prices on your place , myself cost Me around 70 USD.
When tamping the couplers and parts together, use a piece of 2″x6″ board. It will enable you to apply relatively even force to the entire circumference with each tamp.
