    Of course you release this a month after I bought 5 trays and domes! Nice design!

    • @Hoocho says:

      Hahahaha sorry mate! Let me know your next purchase, I’ll overshoot that too 😂🤣

    • @yousefbouchfar2585 says:

      ​@@HoochoI have a question, can I grow pumpkin in hydroponics? Will it produce large 15kg fruits as in soil cultivation?

    • @dertythegrower says:

      @@yousefbouchfar2585 Possible, but you need a wide area of LED.. i have huge vines myself(community photos last week proof of garden pumpkin and melon vines)… its possible but you difficult compared to just planting a patch in the woods away from human discovery

    • @dertythegrower says:

      @@yousefbouchfar2585 better of making a patch or asking someone next spring to plant one (community garden grant also possible, but you might have to plant more stuff besides pumpkin…. you need a lot of area because the vines spread super fast and have large surface area… issue is cost of electric, youre going to be spending 50s extra per pumpkin in electric even with led samsung diodes.. i know indoor growing more than most heh)

  • @willulearn says:

    I use the sensor as well, but I submerge it right into the water. It’s a good medium that doesn’t fluctuate as much as soil. The outside of trays will be warmer than the middle

  • @bluewolf4915 says:

    How about a 4x4x4 or 3x3x4 inch cell tray? I hate potting up.
    Also will this fit a Creality Ender-3 V3 SE? I don’t think I heard you mention the size or I missed it.

  • @Fabian3331234333 says:

    Buddy you are really awesome 🙂 Great work and thanks for releasing it to the community

  • @user-tm1ux6kn3l says:

    normal 1020 would be awesome

  • @OrganicGreens says:

    This is awesome. I really need to get a 3d printer. Its crazy how cheap you can make such awesome trays. It would be even better if we could shorten the deign so we could fit more on rack space. Maybe we put a water reservoir and run tubing to a shorter water tray. It would be cool to make slightly bigger ones to for medium size plants to. This would be a game changer for me. I currently keep all my mother cana plants in solo cups and hand water them. If I could get theses style trays and pots re fill from an external reservoir it would take a lot of work of my back.

  • @Charles00-xj3kz says:

    Great build. The seedling cells with big botton holes are great. Pleanty of area for the coir to contact the wick and big enough to put a finger in to push out the coir plug.

  • @Charles00-xj3kz says:

    If you put verticle ridges inside the cells they will act as root trainers and encourage roots to go downwards. You see that design in some tall seedling pots.

  • @cindytaylah-barics406 says:

    Fantastic!!! I need 1! Ps? It needs a lazy house m8 attachment? A bottle attachment to keep the plants hydrated! Just a suggestion

  • @sublimal2 says:

    A tray with cutouts for netcups would simplify/eliminate the transplant process

  • @simboodamn says:

    Guy so proud of himself! That’s pretty cool actually to build something yourself for your needs! I’ll be buying this print for sure because I suck so bad at watering my seedlings lol!

  • @Emmanuel_LL says:

    Would you consider adding a nutrient/water level indicator(can be coloured) which would go up and down with the level of nutrient/water in the tray. Should make it easier to identify which one needs topping up.

  • @samuelowen4457 says:

    Looks great!
    Possible addition is something that would enable air pruning of the roots, for a person who diligently waters seedling.

  • @MikeParentLeap says:

    That seedling system looks Boss and Groovy. 👏

  • @Swissindoorgarden says:

    Great idea makes me want to get a 3D printer.😊 you put a lot of thought into making “Hoocho Propagation Trays”

  • @michellecolledge2355 says:

    I’m soooo excited. Can’t wait to boot up the 3D printer. Thanks Hoocho!

  • @michellecolledge2355 says:

    It would be great if the cells had vertical spaces on their edges for air pruning/prevent seedlings from becoming root bound. It would likely reduce the stability of the structure but not by much.

    • @dertythegrower says:

      @@yousefbouchfar2585 Yes. Issue is surface area.. you will meed to make a large grow tent and spend loads on electric per pumpkin.. and need much space, each pumpkin would need large area of samsung lm301B or lm301H grow lights, costing you a lot of electric. Better off growing a guerrilla grow pumpkin patch in the woods away from others seeing it (i did it with herbs in florida.. you can easily do it ha)

  • @WHAT-GRINDS-MY-GEARS says:

    If humanity goes to Mars they are going to need a Hoocho and a 3d printer! lol

  • @dertythegrower says:

    Genius, boy!
