Love the design. Two thoughts.. first, use the stand as a water reservoir. With closed ballvales or plugs to isolate the 'reservoir' from the tubes to prevent flooding the tubes by overall water level. Connect the tube drain into the front right leg. Some kind of double bell on the left rear leg to house a pump which pumps straight up via internal hose to the top grow tube. A wye 'y' tee could be placed on a rear leg just below the first grow tube to monitor water level, top off, add nutrients, etc. Second, all legs could be extended upward to provide a scaffold for lighting. This is in my future.

@ChatBot13373 жыл бұрын
Just in case this comment gets any eyes. Further research makes me think oxygenation would be a problem with suchan enclosed reservoir. Also, the water level would have to be kept below the level of the lowest grow tube, not the highest. Duh on my part. And the pump chamber could be accomplished by making a sealed 4" section in one of the legs using the same bushings from the grow tubes and a bit of 4" pipe. Add a ball valve at one of the feet for draining and maintenance. Voila. The main reason Im going ham on this comment is I live in a very snowy winter, hot dry summer climate. If you get some pipe clamps, mount up a timed power strip with the lights, this system becomes a one electrical plug, extremely portable system that can go inside with lights during the winter and out on the porch in summer.

Thank you so much for this video! I am thinking of going into hydroponics and your video is most instructive. Question: 1) Does your pump feed the system from the top white tube or from some other, higher up, tube? 2) I understand that water re-circulates in the system (top to bottom), but how long do you keep the pump running? Do you use a timing mechanism with intermitent pump operation, e.g. pump runs for 15 minutes to water seedlings and stops for 45 minutes and starts the loop again? 3) You change the water (with the nutrients) every 2-3 weeks, right? Thank you.

@@navinseebah5588 Hi Navin , I did some research that might help you choose the right light . How Much Light Do You Need Per Square Foot? When it comes to the quantity of light a plant needs, we express those needs in terms of lumens. But we also need to think about how many lumens plants need per square foot. The term lux is used to measure how much the light is spread out over an area. Lux is a number of lumens per square meter (roughly 11 square feet) and is similar to the term inches of rain, which refers to the quantity of rainwater spread over an area. The output of light fixtures is usually reported in terms of light humans can see, but that isn’t the same as the light plants need. The reddish, blueish light plants need is called photo synthetically active radiation (PAR). If you are growing indoors under lights, you need to figure out the amount of PAR lighting a light fixture and bulb will provide to your plant, which is a calculated based on the lights you use and the distance that light is from your plants. Photo synthetically active radiation (PAR) is a term used to describe the light that plants convert to energy, which isn’t the same as the light the human eye sees Fluorescent grow light: These are probably the most beginner-friendly grow lights. They are also widely available and relatively cheap compared to other grow lights high Pressure Sodium (HPS) These are one of the cheapest options for high intensity lighting. HPS lights can generate a lot of heat, which is good in cold environments but difficult to manage indoors without proper ventilation and/or air-conditioning. They often are used for flowering crops indoors and are great for providing supplemental light in greenhouses. Usually they are positioned a few feet above a crop. Metal Halide (MH) and Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) MH and CMH are high intensity lighting options often used for vegetative stages but are also capable of growing flowering crops. Light from MH bulbs appears blue and many gardeners find it pleasant to work under. The blue dominant light is also good for encouraging compact growth. Most grow light manufacturers are focusing production on the newer, more efficient CMH bulbs instead of the traditional MH bulbs Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) LEDs are very efficient, using minimal electricity to generate a lot of light. They produce very little heat relative to their light output and are available in many different configurations, some suitable for mounting high above the crop and some suitable for placing very close to the crop. LEDs come in many different colors, which can greatly affect plant growth. The white LEDs are less efficient but more pleasant to work under than red and blue LEDS, which cast a purple light that is great for growing plants but some growers find aesthetically displeasing. Additional Light Options Other options include induction lights, plasma lights, and lasers, as well as many other lighting technologies besides the ones listed above. Some of these newer lighting options can be very expensive and may not be well suited for the beginning hydroponic gardener. Lighting technology advances quickly, however, and many of these options may soon be the standard, just as LED lighting is quickly moving to the forefront among the traditional HPS, MH, and fluorescent lighting options A powerful 1000-watt double-ended (DE) HPS light is great for greenhouses and grow rooms with high ceilings A 150-watt HPS light is great for grow tents and areas that require high light levels A 315-watt ceramic MH grow light small growing

Hi,where i live the hydro cups are really expensive,is there another alternative to the cups?
@DIYGARDENWITHBB3 жыл бұрын
Hi there , You can make your own net cups , using plastic cups , make holes on them , make sure the holes size is enough for the roots to extend.

May I know how you ensure the water level in the pipe is not too high, which may soak the entire crop, or too low that the water does not reach the root?
@DIYGARDENWITHBB3 жыл бұрын
Hi there ! Water can't be too low because the reducer at the end pipes is placed center , You need to get the right water pump not strong so the system will be balanced , Balanced in flow, the same amount of water coming from the tank is the same as returning to it Even if water get a bit high it's fine , The water is filled with pre-dissolved oxygen.
