[@MukeshKumar-jw6ji]

Nice video 👌

[@hunglikeahamster]

Nice idea and thanks for the detail on the solutions used. A few points. You headline this as cheap but then used far more fittings than required. Also, with a 3/4" feed from the pump not even running at capacity, you don't need 11/2" connections between the grow tubes. If you stand the assembly off the wall on 2" wooden blocks you will avoid the condensation around the grow tubes damaging the wall. Also gives a little more room for the plant to grow. If you stood it off the wall by even more, you cut down possible routes to the leaves by pests like slugs etc. 👍

Using Tapcons for the wall would be a more secure than plastic drywall plugs, as those usually break under any sort of strain. They also don't bite into concrete very well. Tapcons literally tap the concrete like tap and die tools, and will hold a great deal of weight. Also, drain plugs with screw caps in the bottom of each of those would allow for drainage and cleaning so they can be used for longer periods. Water, no matter how clean, gets slimy. If you start getting root rot (and even if you don't), it's a good idea to have 35% strength food grade hydrogen peroxide on hand to add to the water (make sure to mix very well in your water solution, and only use the recommended amount). It's used to clean veggie bins at supermarkets and such. However, be very, very careful with it. It will give you white spots on your skin because it's caustic/corrosive at that strength. Even the first aid stuff isn't something to use a lot, because it eats scar tissue.

[@gwenjohnston-petrarch5071]

Love the video. Thank you for sharing. Hydroponics is such a great way to grow. If I could add my two cents, and you probably already know this, but you'll have to paint the tubes a dark color to prevent algae from taking over. It'll rob the water of oxygen if you let it. If you already have algae, don't bother breaking the entire system down to clean it. Just paint the tubes a dark color and make sure you don't have any algae in the reservoir. The algae will die without light and then get circulated and reabsorbed by the plants.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Thank you very much, you are right, the best to paint the tubes.

[@chloet182]

First off Thank you so much for taking the time and money to share a detailed instruction video for free to all who want to learn and give it a go !! One thing I've noticed about all these hydroponic setups both indoor home and larger scale production labs is you seem to be fairly limited to what you can grow such a micro greens...small herbs and small amounts of salad leaves although I could be ignorant to its full scope of use it's just all I ever see grown is small salad leaves. In fact this outdoor set-up seems to have way more viable options than the usual modern electric setups. It just hurts me as a home grower to see people paying $20+ for 8 tiny docs of peat with a single seed in each. Especially the real fancy counter space setups most take months to grown enough leaves for a hobbit sized salad 🙄

[@davidmagliaro6700]

Hobbits have appetites disproportionately large for their size. 🙃

[@WhoInspects]

Thanks for the detailed build 👍. Early in the video it looks like there are 5 grow tubes. In the final, there are only 4. The yield looks like 20 grow spots. I would actually like the additional 5 grow spots with 1 more tube. 3 types of lettuce + basil + cilantro. Do you think that would work? How did you calculate the amount of nutrients? Is it so much per plant or so much per volume of water? Thanks.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi Michael It looks 5 because I used short clip from my previous video , its all depends on your space , try to make it even numbers so your inlet and the last tube will be at same side. The ratio of the nutritional solution varies from one plant to another . Start with leafy vegetables ..

Love this! Do you have to periodically take it apart to clean it? How do you prevent slimy buildup or algae?

[@henriknielsen6618]

yes you most likely will get algae very easy build up in tha system. it can however be prevented very easy. instead of the green box at the ground use a black one with a black lid on. make sure that absolutely no sun light gets in the box with the water and then you should be good to go with that system. i might actually build about 20 of those shown in the video. another thing to note is that sun light can come in through the plant holes. that can be prevented with a sponge or proper amount dirt/nuts ;)

[@pb6839]

​@@kemolollen5714 I live in Germany at the moment but you could get most of what you need at Home Depot for pretty cheap. I watched some videos, got inspired and the system I built is using elements of all of them. I have a small balcony so I had to build something for that space. As long as you follow the basic principles you can build a system in any shape. For me the most expensive part was the hole saw attachments and the hydroponic nutrients. Also nobody mentions this but your water pump needs to be strong enough to pump water to the top of your system. Mine barely makes it at 2 meters high but I had to return 2 pumps before I found one strong enough. The "ready made" kits are really overpriced for what you get

When tamping the couplers and parts together, use a piece of 2"x6" board. It will enable you to apply relatively even force to the entire circumference with each tamp.

[@MegaAwesomedude234]

It looks very professional, but the PVC piping made it prohibitively expensive for me. 4" fittings are really expensive since they're rated for pressure while this is a non-pressure holding environment. Projected cost for doing this was $40 in the pipe alone, not to mention the brackets. Making it out of rain gutter (I'd probably use vinyl downspout so it's still got the benefit of sealing off light from algae) is probably WAY cheaper and requires even less fitting. I will say this looks MUCH more professional tho

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

[@liraziyad5806]

There are a couple of other videos online that show systems made from recycled orange juice or milk jugs. So? You could definitely still do it and just change the item that you’re using AzarMain holding device.

There seems to be very little flow rate. When you show the plant roots, they seem to be sitting in quite deep water. Isn't it better to have them sat in very little water, and to have it flowing over the roots to give an even distribution of nutrients, and maybe to tilt the pvc rows so the water is running downhill at a quicker rate?

One major flaw in your system, the outlet at each section of the planter pipe is not located at the base of the planter, it’s a bit raised which will result in pooling of water in the system at all times. Roots of plants in the lower sections of the planter will end up rotting, you should have placed the outlet at the bottom point of each exit

Net cups are way too close to each other, roots become entangled between plants. How are you dealing with alge growth? I run hydroponics in Texas and alge is my biggest problem.

If you are willing to spend , use UV light.

Thank you for taking the time to share this! Going to be starting a aquaponics farm soon!

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there ! You're welcome Are you going to use this tubes for aquaponics ! Make sure to filter the water before go to the growing tubes.

[@neltronz]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB I will have to draw out how the physical structure will look like and to see what is more efficient for the most yield. I will definitely filter the water out, thank you!!

Good build. How often are you running the water pump (e.g. every 15 minutes for 5 minutes, etc.). Thanks

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hello... It's really nice idea... I have one query.. Is Continuous flowing of water in pipes. Cause any impact on plant growth... As ur inlet water from top side and outlet from bottom side of pipes... Can u explain this things

[@jimbos2236]

Actually the roots can be fully submerged if the water is oxygenated. It gets that by flowing through the pipes and returning in the pump.

[@nataliedixon6561]

Love this. Thanks so much for all the hard work. Can't wait to get started. Do you have one for indoor vertical herbs or the like?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

i don't have but sure will make one .

[@tigerslilly3621]

Hey I've built this at home thanks I am just wondering if you can send me a link for the right pump please mine is about 1.5m high TIA 😊

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there! good job any submersible pump will do the job , i suggest 45 watt / max H 2.5 m .

[@joshuadaniel4780]

Interesting way to wear those gloves. Typically I'd want the grip dots on the palm side to help grab/hold things.

[@Harmeet-km6yp]

The video was very informative and I loved some of the ideas which I am going to use.

Your background music is so tropical! It has made me take off all my clothes and pretend to be a gerbil who works as a vicar.

[@bhupinder_pant]

very informative video dear want to know one thing about the water flow .....Does the water in the pipe have to flow 24 hours?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there ! You can use a timer 15 on 30 min off , or on day time and off at night.

[@tinhair888]

Hi. Great video. Does the water bomb has to be on 24 hours a day? Can it be turned on only by daylight (07h00 22h00, for example??

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

yes can on day time and off at night , Just make sure there is water in the pipes.

Great video Just what I've been looking for. will send feedback when I build in the spring Thx again

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

You're welcome.

[@anpellicer00]

I've watched several of your videos. I don't exactly have a green thumb but with the prices of everything going up and all the junk they put in our food I've gotta do something. I've got a small house with a small yard. I'm thinking about getting a small screen room like campers get because the insects and humidity is horrendous here and go by one of your other designs. Wish me luck 🤞

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

all the best ❤️

Hi thank you. Could you tell us how to get the little plastic cups and what is the medium used and also the price of all of it. I am sending this out to everyone I know!

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

you can check the online hydroponic stores at your place , I'm using clay pebbles as a grow medium, you can use normal plastic cups and Sponge

[@marcelinajandayan982]

I would want to try. Tnx for this video ❤

Great system... wondering if doing it inside gets too complicated? Air, temp, humidity, light, etc... have u tried it? Also, would beans work?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there! I haven't tried this indoor , try this NFT system indoor kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-thZ2Fn8iHmNk And add grow light . 4 " pvc should work with Beans .
