How to make cheap Nutrient film technique (NFT) Hydroponic growing system for bigenners 2021

[@CH59J]

Amazing video, I will be doing this with my dad. Thank you so much.

[@paulgibson4991]

I've put a valve on the end of main water supply and continue it on and return to main supply tank ,you can adjust flow rate and maybe not over pressure the pump.

Great job bro, highly informative video for hydroponic farming enthusiasts. Keep it up. ❤

Hey can I use PVC which is longer than that you used and still use one motor or I must make like this many of them with each having own tanks and motor

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

yes can and use one water pump and one tank only. follow the Same design

thanks.

[@ThachDo]

may I know the name of the nutrient pipes in 14:05 (black pipes), how do we call it? could you please share the link to buy it if possible? thanks!

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

micro tube 8 mm you can find them in irrigation stores, aquarium stores.

[@ThachDo]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB so we need to manually drill the main pipe (larger black) and attach the micro tubes to that main pipe right?

How long the pump run for..and where can I get the liquid to buy

Hello, what is the overall measurement of the system in your video?

[@divyanshteachtechiti4290]

What is the size of net cup 3 '' or 2 inch

[@Blackfang_12]

Hi Bibi! Just wondering if you had any leakage from using the pvc teflon tape? I know pvc cement would be the most reliable way but it will also permanently fuse the pipes together, and I wish to be able to disassemble the kit in the future.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there ! So far no leakages , insert the the pipes and the tees with the tape well shouldn't be a problem .

[@Blackfang_12]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thank you Bibi! Keep up the great content!

[@kolobkolobkolobkolob]

If you use Food grade glue from Amazon you just use a hair dryer against end pipe for very few seconds, tap gently with hammer and end caps come right off and system will easily come apart. Just type in Food grade glue. Hope that helps.

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB I will back this up as I have used tape as well on pipe connections and no leaks.

How much ec on first solution. Is 1st and 2nd solution have same ec and ppm?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

always add the same amount from both solutions, for sure they give the same reading..

[@reviewstrials6785]

If I used rock wool how would I insure the seeds / seedlings touch the water?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

rockwool absorb water and become wet, just make sure the base is touching the water

[@AMindGame]

When using Rockwool, does the cube need to be in contact with the waterstream or just the root?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

if your roots tall enough to touch the water it's fine just the roots , when the roots small need to touch .

[@kailastile]

Thank You. Two questions please, 1- Does the watering pump needs to be running always or just few hours every day? 2. How do you prepare seedling?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there ! For NFT system cannot off the water pump more than 10 min otherwise the plants will die . If you want a system that can off the water pump check this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn2oh4StYsd7nsU I prepare the seedlings using rockwool .

[@kailastile]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thank You !!! I am going to try this at home by referring to your video guides

[@danielshaw4847]

You mentioned to change the water every 2 weeks. Do you dump out what's in there or are you retesting and adjusting the nutrients when you top it off?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

i use the old water in my traditional garden , plants..etc and change to new water mix with the hydroponic fertilizer

[@reviewstrials6785]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB can I use miracle grow in the water? Can you explain more about ec?

[@Dennys854]

@@reviewstrials6785 Yes you can use miracle grow, but match the type for your plants. For Mostly greens (lettuce, beans etc) use Blue General Purpose. For fruiting plants (Tomatoes, Eggplant, Pepper) use RED Tomato formula. Read up on the NKP (Nitrogen/Potassium/Phosphorus) numbers for different plants in differing parts of the grow cycle. Nitrogen is the primary for all green leaves and stems, P and K for the fruits. Lettuces do better with balanced NPK, Fruits better with a higher PK level, especially when coming to yield (picking time). EC is electrical conductivity - Nutrients are measured as "salts" in the water. EC is how a electric charge travels. Higher EC - More salts (Nutrients) in the water. I use TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) as my guide. Same general principle, different numbers. For Greens, 1500-2000 TDS is sufficient food level. For Fruits 2000-3000. pH generally slightly over neutral 7.2 or so (You can find this online for each plant type). I use a 55gal drum to run 180lf pipe, and, in general, use a cup and a half of granules mixed in a gallon of water added to the drum every 2-3 weeks. Once you get more experience you can get custom tailored liquid nutrients for beginning, middle, and fruit phase.

[@reviewstrials6785]

@@Dennys854 thanks! I have a small bit of miracle grow left then I'll switch over to masters mix. I have ordered everything for a 10 beto bucket system and have the tiny 2" pipe for lettuce / starts up and running! I can't wait to watch it all grow! Thanks for your response and input!
