How to make a Hydroponic System at home using PVC Pipe

[@SohamDahale00]

4/4/2023. Thank you for posting your video from buffalo NY. I greatly appreciate your creativity and craftsmanship. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@jman4715]

Nice video. Thank you for taking the time. A clear nutrient tank will probably give you problems with algae. Black would be better. Also, the pipe going back into the nutrient tank should be shorter so it makes a splash when it returns. This should give better aeration

[@youfunny4180]

One question is water pump to be kept running all the time round the clock or for specific time of day.

[@fb7881]

@@youfunny4180 I would put a timer on it to stay on for about a half hour every hour. some plants can handle 24/4 moisture but others need a break or they will "drown". Also put a small aerator in the tank to helps keep the roots healthy.

[@youfunny4180]

@@fb7881Thank you so much

[@remka2000]

@@youfunny4180 Another way to do it would be closer to nft (nutrient film technique, plenty of videos on YT) : you would arrange the pipes in such a way that the flow of water is much lower, so only the bottom part of the roots touch the nutrient. This way no risk of drowning your plants, and it could be run 24/24h. You can keep a “longish” return pipe and add a bubbler in the tank to add oxygen (if you don’t like the splashing noise maybe) but this would require one more electric device (you can find some with tiny solar panels though).

[@remka2000]

@LogosFarm I wouldn’t recommend having leafy greens, herbs and fruiting varieties in the same setup. You need different EC (electro conductivity, the amount of nutrients in water) levels for different cultivars and maybe different light intensities for vegetative state or ripening. The time from seed to harvest is also very different (about one month for lettuce vs. several months for tomatoes), so the bigger plants would suck all the nutrients very quickly. Finally the size of the roots are very different - for tomatoes or peppers I would not recommend a rail/gutter/nft style setup but rather some kind of deep water culture / dutch bucket setup eith much bigger containers… You could definitely mix different leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, etc.) together. Herbs I tend to keep longer so I have them in small-ish kratky units that I can keep for several months.

[@cyclonicleo]

I can imagine all the stoners coming in to look at this... Seriously though, this is an excellent, cheap way to grow veggies at home! Add in a couple of fish tanks, and you have an Aquaponics setup, with the waste from the fish providing nutrients for the plants and those same plants cleaning the water for the fish. Its a great way to grow veggies and have a few fish to eat as well. Great job!

[@johntarun9177]

For most of us , space to keep the aquarium is a major issue. Else, perfect idea since composting and vermiculture also needs a lot of space. Time also. Minimum 15-30 days for composting, forget proper idea of method to do same

[@deleqtronica8733]

You need a very high bio-load to achieve optimal growth, a small aquarium with a few fish aren't going to be enough nutrients to adequately grow your food.

[@of_the_stone]

A couple of notes. Make sure your pump isnt too fast for any of the bends, water will back up, especially when roots fill the flow tubes. Water will fill the flow tubes to the depth of the end cap hole, so the hole width for the cups need to be created so that the bottom of the cup sits below the end cap water exit level. Drill holes in the cups so that all the holes are in the water to prevent microbial growth and evaporation.

[@Yvola]

also stagger teh holes in the actual grow pipes for more efficiency, like this; o o o o o o o o this way there is more room to grow

[@DhanasekaranT-de4wz]

@@Yvola If you try to.pack of balls nature will arrange itself in a lattice like you depicted. It's called hexagonal lattice or hexagonal packing which gives the highest possible packing density.

[@timbattaglia4622]

Looks like he's using about 40 feet of 77mm or roughly 3" pipe for the plant tubes. Also appears to be using a 3" x 1" pvc reducer (2 for each tube end), 90° pvc elbow 1" (again, 2 for each tube end), 1" pvc that goes in between to join the elbows (I'd say he bought close to 20ft of it at least). That is all for the plant tubes. For the frame, he's using 1" pvc pipe (same as the one used to join the elbows), with several 1" T couplings. Last but not least, he has pvc glue to "cement" all the pieces together.

[@2stroketyson79]

thats what we would use in USA but they use odd numbers they dont go by inch they go by mm

[@girthquake1413]

It's great! only a few complaints: - PVC will not hold up to sunlight as it gets brittle to UVC. Future builds will have to be made from different materials. - The water and nutrient tank needs to be opaque. Your clear one won't get hot enough to keep algae from growing.

[@ryantoups7983]

Could paint the pvc and the tote with a basic exterior paint to solve both of these issues.

[@rahulpadhi9747]

Agree with you, We can use UPVC pipes for better durabilty and protection against UV rays.

[@webluke]

At 1:30 he shows the uPVC type and diameter of the pipe. The clear reservoir is a problem, but if he is cleaning it when changing nutrients, it shouldn't get bad. Air stones would help plant growth and health.

[@dimitristripakis7364]

PVC gets really hot under the sun, isn't that a problem for the plants ? ( I understand the water cools it, but still...)

[@MusafirsSoul]

[@shw8179]

Because he is working in metric system, his first pvc cut is at 115 cm. Closest one can get in American measures and supplies: using 4" pvc pipe in 4 ft lengths, first mark is at 6" and then 6" apart will yield seven marks per pipe for cuts with 51cm hole saw for 2" net cup. My husband raised me well, bless him! I think you can do the build from there without me, lol!

You should not use a "clear" plastic bin for a nutrient reservoir, ratherly, opaque is preferable. Light shining though clear plastic will encourage algae growth and bacteria will grow on dead algae. This will create a mess to clean, and you want the nutrients for your plants rather than algae and bacteria.

Not sure what you are growing, but you probably need larger diameter pipe, (roots will clog the pipe) and they are too close together (for bushy plants). Putting the pipes at different levels would also help. Like an A-Frame. As someone else said , the clear reservoir will grow a lot of alge.

Nice tidy build. The system would be difficult to clean when the nutrient solution needs to be changed.Shield your reservoir from sunlight to prevent algae .With water that deep in the pipe , it`s likely that you will get some root rot because there will be a lack of oxygen in the water. A large bubbler ( air stone ) in the res. fed by an air pump would help with that .A shallower water level inside the rails would be better to help the plants develop their air roots , ( Nutrient Film Technique ) or NFT. The system looks great.

Because of the way sun rises and sets and the fact the sun won't reach them directly north your plants won't grow straight and grow falling off your balcony trying to reach the sunlight. Also your water reservoir needs to be a solid color. Light cannot pass through otherwise algae will form. You could always paint the one you have since you glued the water drain in the lid like that but it'll work. It's a very nice and clean well put together system very well done. Just a few tweaks and you will have a perfect setup

Not a bad design, but I think it would be better to use square PVC pipes for most uses. It would allow more stability of the system, allow less light to go through to prevent algae growth and seat the plugs better. That being said, I do see it as a great way to produce some good food for cheap!

[@callyg7696]

I found square alternative to be much more expensive and the fittings are t water tight as is meant for rain water.

[@amymoriyama6616]

Square is more expensive. I priced out various materials for a system similar to this and the cheapest overall is what is being used in this video. Aluminum gutter downspouts are cheaper by the foot for some reason where I live currently, but the connectors get you. While a 10ft section of aluminum downspout runs about $18, one single 90-degree connector is almost the same cost. A 10 foot section of 3in PVC is around $30 here and the connectors are $1-$3. I even priced out using wood for the water channels (enameled) and that's still more expensive than PVC. I have not seen square PVC pipe here. The closest I've seen to that would be vinyl gutter downspouts, but I am a little reluctant to use such due to the possibility of leeching chemicals into the water. PVC is quite resistant to chemicals and leeching.

But if you want to do them on your own, you can get NPK, Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom salt), Calcium Nitrate and Microgreen (all water soluble mixes) and mix them in proportion to the water required in the system. You can get proportion formulas from around, even from the sellers as well.

Right off the bat, I love how you have your shop set up. A few questions. Does it run 24 hours? Does it overflow? What is the grow media?

[@anonymousspencer3786]

What do u call the machine he uses for the water rotation.

[@thiamjoo]

Is the pump running continuously 24 hours a day?

[@dr.zuckerbrot5731]

no!

[@sunitavakkalaganti8959]

Yes it will

[@armanorp5056]

How many hours a day the motor will run

[@tonygreentiger]

You don't need it to run 24 hrs. The one I have has a timer on the pump for 15min on and 30 min off

[@MrMuyperro]

Set a timer to the pump, 5 min on every 30 min
