D.I.Y. hydroponics System Part 1

[@islandhomesteader]

When drilling the holes, after the pilot hole is drilled and just when the hole saw starts to "bite" the pvc, run the drill in reverse - it makes a cleaner hole and if won't twist your arm off.

[@pespeut1990]

happy i found this vid love the playlist in the background, Planning to start one of these systems thanks for the info

[@TheLaidbackBiker]

When you cut your holes, run your drill in reverse, You won't get any binding or kick back. Running in reverse will also give a nice smooth hole.

[@sweetness6048]

handy tip Put sugar syrup on drill for a laser like finish no need to run in reverse sugar syrup does a way better job

[@johnnyrocket88]

Great job. Thanks for the video. It is very informative.

[@catharineaymond5799]

I would love a copy of your plans so I can try this myself. thank you great instructional video :-)

[@Polydectus]

Are the fence posts 4" or 5" diameter?

[@ThinkSleepLeave]

PVC pipes of all types are actually measured by outside diameter. Fittings are measured by inner diameter.

[@thebigbill53]

Put the feed line in the end cap's, make it level, then a drain at the other with adjustable drain tube..

[@Booper009]

I really want to know how the system looks now and if it works good!

[@lgx2410]

Can't get these fence posts in the UK. We can get a square downpipe but no end caps.

[@kingofkleen1]

Where do I find the gullies/tubes/rails?

[@sm1522]

Try a 4 X 4 pvc fence post

[@wateronly9310]

When you use a hole saw that size, 1) drill a pilot hole 2) Then run the hole saw in reverse. Smaller hole saws, like the 1" size wont bite like the larger ones.

[@aminsh53]

can you please tell me where you bought the tubings? i cant find anywhere to buy them from

[@christophe8489]

How do you mitigate the water running one side of the channel instead of in the middle where it's needed?

[@wanderingronin305]

give us a plant update please

[@jeebus6263]

where is Part 2?

[@robertl6711]

Also something that works good is put the saw in reverse and drill that away. I did that with my Rubbermaid totes worker great not snagging or jerking or broken wrist.

[@excalibur440]

Thanks, great advice.

[@harpster1911]

I would like to get a copy of the rail plans. Great video thanks

[@thebigbill53]

save the video at the top --below the video, click thumbs up.

[@rajiyengar5525]

Where did you get the materials?

[@suresh3012]

Good plan I was wondering does it take rocket science to use the software for planing the design and what was the software used. I am interesting in starting aquaponics I don't know where to begin! So I figured out make the plan first! Can you share the plans you used for the video! Thank you!

[@jamestheoneandonly]

looks like AutoCAD or one of the Autodesk programs

[@muteemehdi873]

Hi, Good job. Is there any further update? And who are you designing this setup for? lettuce or tomatoes type? And how would you aerate them?

[@excalibur440]

I have several different garden plants in mind for the system. I'm changing positions at my regular job. I'll try to get an update out soon...thanks for watching.

[@MrOhshit1]

Do you think this exact system would be good for Cannabis or are the holes to close together?

[@oldfart3137]

I would think cannabis would grow too large and top heavy, with too thick of a root system for this system.

[@timmccalla7298]

Absolutely not this is a complete copy of General Hydroponics aeroponics systems identical holes just as close I have one and they grow absolutely 4 foot plants in them with no problem The Roots grow down into the tube and anchor itself don't listen to someone who doesn't have one

[@mikeg8319]

What silicone did you use for the caps? All the ones I looked at had cancer warnings on them.

[@Tyrone-Ward]

Aquarium silicone

[@gobey1092]

How to buy the square pipe online....?

[@budiwahyu2748]

nice song.., what's that song,sir..?, i want to ask. do you use nft system?, if that is true. how much % the difference high of table? thank you.

[@alexanderwinn5108]

pretty cool!

[@Golddigger-on9jc]

Did you ever get this done. If so I want to see it.

[@otellahobson7341]

I will try this

[@greenplanetveteranfarms1864]

Can you share a copy of your plans please? I'd like to build a system in y greenhouse.

[@matthewgratton9900]

Do you have the plans online somewhere?

[@KJ7JHN]

Any updates?

[@inventanew]

Will vinyl degrade in the sun and chemicals leach in the food?

[@crystalmeserole4796]

Yes

[@zapperzip]

how safe is that vinyl fence post for growing veggies for food.

[@TheWingnut58]

It's made from PVC, the same material that water pipe is made from.

[@janetsmith9610]

There are different types of PVC, safe and nonsafe.

[@automatehydroponics5566]

Nice DIY video! You could even automate this setup really easily with our Nutrient/pH dosing machine! ;-D

[@trethehunter]

the silicone work for you?

[@oldfart3137]

Have you given any thought to potential toxicity of plastic fence posts used in food applications? I have researched non-toxic plastic used in food processing and it's pretty expensive.

[@TheWingnut58]

It's made from PVC, the same material that water pipe is made from.

[@liamevangelista5918]

Three days grace hell yeah :D

[@itdishaa]

Where did you get these parts? Thanks.

[@wartengu1493]

What are those tubes called, are they gutters?

[@excalibur440]

They are 5"x5"x8'-0 Vinyl fence posts. I have attached a link, you will see some of the other parts that I bought from Home Depot as well. www.homedepot.com/p/Veranda-5-in-x-5-in-x-8-ft-White-Vinyl-Fence-Post-73010700/202084745

[@robertl6711]

are those posts 3.75 or or 3 and a quarter?

[@robertl6711]

You say it as like 1:45 but i must not understand you.

[@excalibur440]

The "Posts" are 5"x5"x8'-0 Vinyl fence posts. I posted a link in a comment by (war tengu) below. I hope this clarifies your question. Thanks for watching.

[@joannmccaffrey3608]

aren't your holes to close together? I find in my garden tower, when a plant grows tall in towers over other plants and shades them.

[@excalibur440]

Good comment, The plants in this part of the system are Lettuce and spinach. The grow lights are directly above the plants. The plants are harvested prior to shading being an issue. The larger plants such as Kale, Chard ect are slated for the Dutch buckets.at the back of the system. Thanks again for your observation and comment.

[@thebigbill53]

I used grow light strip led's glued on a 1/2 PVC pipe I can raise or lower over the system, very low voltage.

[@eduardorodriguez-oj3zc]

Hello sir How much for a system like that Thanks for video

[@excalibur440]

i will itemize all the parts and materials to build the system, with the lights that will be shown in part 4 i have around $800..but, many of the parts could be substituted to bring the cost way down..thanks for your interest.

[@blewidguy145]

don't mean to be a stickler but 3.75 is 3 3/4" not 3 1/4" as you stated.

[@excalibur440]

You are correct good Sir, I had a verbal typo. Good catch..Thank you for watching.

[@rangtrinat2026]

The issue with hydroponics is you will have to buy "plant food" or nutrients and supplements which are more costly.

[@rangtrinat2026]

Aquaponics combines the most effective aspects of Hydroponics And Aquaculture so greatly reduce pricing as well as improve productivity. You may get the best aquaponics plan right here: help1.info/best-aquaponics-plan

[@Simeonx1]

You can grow with just compost tea . So you can make your own nutrients .

[@scottespenschied6891]

Rang Trinat you are very right perfect setup for aquaponics.

[@Simeonx1]

Scott Espenschied The first to comments are an advertising company. They make fake accounts and spam all hyrdo videos on youtbue .

[@scottespenschied6891]

ok ty

[@MattHolstein]

I was totally digging your video, until I heard Nickleback in the background. :(

[@letschat1]

ANYONE HAVE LINKS TO PART 4 AND ABOVE

[@stanleyking597]

Do NOT use a METAL vat !

[@Simeonx1]

The spacing of these holes are only good for some plants .

[@thebigbill53]

He says that at the beginning.............

[@timmccalla7298]

If you've never had one you don't know aeroflo by General Hydroponics same size tube same size hole spacing you can grow 4 ft plants in it easily

[@rondavis1248]

Please send a copy of plan

[@andrewmacgregor9820]

did you say home depot is cheap ? the posts are 21 bucks each lol that aint cheap

[@donaldkosse8429]

HI I have enjoy you show do you have your blue print for you hydroponics system.

[@CooCuMbEr]

you sound like your going to cry at 6.00

[@hoamuyi1795]

The downside of hydroponics is that you will have to pay for "plant food" or nutrients and supplements which can be expensive.

[@hoamuyi1795]

Aquaponics includes the best elements of Hydroponics And Aquaculture therefore lower cost and also enhance productivity. You may get one of the best aquaponics plan below: help1.info/best-aquaponics-plan

[@glwoods7679]

You are paying for it in soil as well. You either need to pay for fertilizer, gather fertilizer, or do composting. There is a time cost with each of them and there is a probably a purchase cost as well.
