How To Build A DIY Hydroponic System To Grow Food At Home

[@brycenalder561]

I've watched your video about 20 times now, lol. I finally got mine all set up pretty much exactly like yours, so thank you sir! I was dumb and tried to do summer squash, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes which immediately overcrowded everything and I had to scrap my first run. That General Hydroponics stuff is no joke, I was actually getting worried about how fast everything was growing, I even had the limbs of plants breaking they were growing so fast. I think I'll try your bucket idea for the big bushy plants. Thank you so much for doing this video, I would love to see an update video on how your harvests are coming along.

Such a great video

[@Just-do-it-zr]

Sooo cool, thx! Are you still growing?

[@friendshipchronicles]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@Mjtally]

nice set up i have a very similar setup and had been dealing with plants in the cups falling over when they get bigger so i made a solution for the 2in cups on 4in pvc and will design others soon... but if you have access to a 3d printer i can send you the stl to print and test then i can say for sure its either usefull or not. then ill upload all designs to thingaverse for public use

[@HermitsHome]

I haven't had too much issue with plants falling over yet. I am just starting a new grow again though so maybe your design will be useful. Unfortunately I do not have a 3d printer but I'm sure I could find one to use if needed. What's the file on thingaverse called?

[@Mjtally]

@@HermitsHome Hydro-wiz look that up been adding some designs

[@amynoble8039]

Thank you for sharing. Have you grown any other vegetables?

[@michaeluchida3304]

Awesome build. Where did you purchase the 1.5 in rubber grommets?

[@johnbicknell4330]

Also would like to know where to buy grommets

[@Mheitman]

Pushing the 3/4 pvc through the grommets is hard. Did you have the pointed side out? I saw you had dish soap in the video, did you use it as a lubricant?

[@autumnsky8647]

Thank you

[@wendyburston3132]

So do you have to pre start your seeds or can you put the seeds into the containers from the start?

[@plantsrockmyworld]

Thank you.

Buenísimo, muchas gracias

[@anthonymurphy2540]

Please share the temp you keep the room?

[@HermitsHome]

It's normally around 19 celcius (66 f). My basement stays cooler than the rest of the house.

[@WDavidStephenson]

How inspiring! b

[@magickninja]

What was your total build cost?

[@cursedtoji3740]

Hey did u come up with the design or did u did u get the blueprint online🤔

[@HermitsHome]

I looked at a few other builds for inspiration then made up a plan for my own. No online blueprint. The photos I show in the video for the shelf and pvc system flow I made using a program called Inkscape.

[@cursedtoji3740]

@@HermitsHome that is very impressive that you came with this

[@lalimone4963]

Could you do a video remaking this with food safe materials? I'd like to see what you could replace the pvc with

[@HermitsHome]

Look for uPVC piping. The uPVC Is food safe. In most cases if you buy pvc piping that is for household use it is uPVC. If you are concerned about the cement to glue it together there is a gorilla glue product for pvc labeled food safe. I am always experimenting and looking for different ways to build stuff so maybe I will make another video in the future with different materials.
