Happy Hydroponicing!

[@77Fmydog]

the mcgyver of hydro never ceases to amaze me

[@Holodomor4.0]

Fuck the fact you’ve now lifted that float valve up higher so it has more adjustment is a game changer!

[@randomrilezz]

As a mechanical engineer, I can totally appreciate the simplicity of your design! I can't wait to incorporate something like this in my space! Cheers!!

[@Kidneyfailure54]

Awesome alternatives to 3D printing! Thanks Hooch!!

[@cindy99toker]

I love that your in the southern hemisphere because this gives me plenty of time to plan my garden better in the northern hemisphere.

[@graemecunningham4280]

This is the one I've been waiting for! Love the RGGS method. No 3D printer access in Tasmania has had me looking through un-named hardware stores for ages to try and look for makeshift options for spikes, who knew they were there in front of us all this time, just waiting to be cut out hahaha Excellent work!

[@Hoocho]

“The spikes are in the pipe” 🤣

[@brianmarshall7214]

Thanks again Hoocho. As an old builder, please use ear muffs and goggles with power tools especially when cutting plastic and metal. Once your hearing or eye is damaged it will not come back!

[@coathang3r43]

You might be able to soften the spikes then use a piece of tubing to mold them into a stronger structure. Awesome work mang!

[@drewv4782]

I was thinking, maybe have two spikes back to back and melt them together for more rigidity and better fixation into the grow bags.

[@nathanpotts6122]

Looking great Mr Hooch , hope youre doing well

[@cindylopresto2935]

Thank you for coming up with this for those of us that don’t have 3d printers! Awesome ideas always!

[@gomosdg]

Thanks for this. I do not have access to a 3d printer. Helps a lot having a solution that does not need 3d printers.

[@moqo]

Growspike is still a great option imo. Love how you keep making hydroponics more accessible then the last time!

[@quietspacearts]

love your inventions keep on inventing, i so get your excitement on finding these things out as you go, genius

[@ChuanfaBuddha]

This is awesome, as someone who doesn’t have a 3d printer ( yet - hopefully in future ) this is great. All your info is amazing, you truly are the MacGyver of hydroponics . Cheers mate

[@blackswansystem]

In Australia we call this “Advanced Manufacturing” . Hooches FTW 🙌

[@deepforrestalchemy9189]

Strength to strength mate. Great innovation!

[@user-mm9xq2oh8x]

Hi Hoocho, why not cut each spike both waysalong the gutter leaving a centimetre of uncut pipe, and then fold both up together making one spike. Like a folding ladder. The wick will then fold over both sides into the gutter. Should be stronger, neater and more effective. I don't know how to send a pic. Hopefully you get the gist of it. Cheers Russ

[@VanillaAttila]

You can do a double spike, fold up to meet eachother and the wick can be looped thru to hold them together. that way they will stay upright and be more rigid.

[@Pummers38]

Short lengths of 20mm PVC pipe with the end heated and wedged could do the same thing, the drill a few holes for wicks. It might be a little more robust that the thin wall gutter or pipe which ever you use.

[@MarjorieAlexanderASM]

The timing of this is so perfect! I have been pretty close to making a decision about how to go about a vertical tower- buy a 3d printer, buy premade, or source all pieces…and I was driving myself nuts. This is more accessible and I just so happened to buy a heat gun last week. Thank you!

[@EgonSorensen]

"Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler" ... This is a 10 out of 10 - Excellent! Once a solution is achieved, another problem usually arises, and the cycle starts again. - so now...... on to the float valve :ø) Insight is the sudden aha! solution to a problem, the birth of a new idea to simplify a complex situation. Thanks for sharing and caring.

[@SwiftCurse]

Had an idea to make it even cheaper possibly? If you grew large diameter Bamboo, and smaller Diameter Bamboo. You could use the larger one as the rain gutter, and the smaller one as your grow spike.(cut in half, sharpen it and put holes for wicks) valve light cover(another bamboo piece cut in half should work) Then you could grow your own system, all you need is the valve

[@user-yj5bg1tj9b]

How would you seal the ends of the larger diameter bamboo?

[@KarlF45]

I went and bought some downpipe and the second the store employee said "no its downpipe, why would you want to block the ends" it clicked for me. Tradies have a single use for downpipe, and tradies are who the DIY stores serve. I really love your solution though, saves me 3d printing end caps.

[@iamafractal]

This version looks great! It’s especially exciting to see you exploit folding techniques. I think you might like to learn much more on the subject. Renowned mathematician David Huffman explored folding as a hobby and if you look up his folding stuff you’d be amazed. Check out his collection at the MIT museum online.

[@StephBer1]

Oh my God, this is the one. I've been looking for a simple low cost system to use in our new small garden that my husband won't automatically say costs too much. We have all the tools. Now just time to grow! Thank you! New subscriber.

[@inkironmojo775]

Absolutely ingenuous!

[@timm_3r]

This is brilliant. I can't wait to see the progress.

[@petertrzos6645]

pretty impressive that you came up with such a simple design that revolutionizes hydroponics!

[@weiye701]

Such an amazing and creative idea! Thank you!!

[@mmladin]

This is pure genius! Thanks Hoocho!

[@brianmiller1149]

Nice work!!

[@HiltonT69]

Nicely done!

[@carolashworth1094]

Awesome stuff!

[@Howie672]

You are a legend bloke, love your work

[@barbarastefani254]

Thank you quick and easy looks great😊

[@klorofila]

Great video! Thanks for sharing

[@sherieryan6176]

wow wow, so obtainable for new growers like me. Thank you!!!!

[@csandford]

Love watching you constantly improve your designs, and better yet, sharing your ideas with us all. Love it.

[@jasonholtham2348]

Love how excited he gets. Wealth of info. Keep up the good work.

[@thaodinh5324]

So much fun! Love the simplicity and efficiency of design. Can’t wait to try it.

[@janroggisch2310]

Love to watch the joy you're clearly getting from your inventions. Top content, too, thanks heaps!

[@gnuyen]

This is a huge step forward for this system!!! Thank you for continuing to think about how to simplify this system to make it more accessible

[@capnjan9835]

Clever man! Love the wick spike idea!

[@CatHamster-wf5xs]

Nice 1 Mr Hoocho. A great amalgamation of great ideas

[@leventbiyikoglu4639]

this is an awesome sytem!

[@garys6583]

Awesome stuff ❤

[@sherichesser1783]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@jeromefridmann6108]

Ingenious. I learned something useful today !! Thx. Champion ....

[@charlievickaryous9757]

Wow.. ingenuity at its best

[@vijaybathula725]

thanks for the great research and videos. got inspired by your wick system and i made using just 1/2 inch pvc pipes.

[@ShoalsChickens]

I am so flabbergasted! Cant believe i didn't think of that! Brilliant!😊

[@turru6236]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@falsefortune7726]

Brilliant brother, your contributions to hydro are next level. Thank you Dr. Hoocho.

[@antypanag1]

Very cleaver ideas here ! Thanks a lot for sharing

[@atmm89]

you are the greatest for innovations, mate

[@sharonpaul4840]

Just love the idea

[@andreassteffens4598]

I really love it, when you are exited about your ideas (which excite me as well) so go on its so cool 👍 and thank you, next year will be my big hydroponic year!

[@lorettastinnett6848]

Great job for promoting minimalism in hydroponicing...I love it.❤

[@larrylingen8423]

Thanks for the awesome view.... Your videos are very fun to watch and get ideas to use in my hydroponic garden too !!!

[@vikingwind25]

Great work! Obviously a Ryobi fan.... Thanks for the video!

[@Zoidenberger]

Thanks, really great idea!

[@quantafreeze]

Amazing. Thank you.

[@joshuaj.aguero2225]

A beautiful and elegant solution to what was already a fantastic system. This deserves a lot more attention.

[@tateseacrest4609]

I really think you have outdone yourself this time Hoocho Thanks for getting me and everyone into this method of growing :)

[@sharonross7437]

You should be proud. This is so excellent.

[@lenhumbird]

I've been watching for a couple years now. It's been great watching you come full circle with a remake of the RGGS concept. Nice job!

[@Jombajon]

This is possibly the best hydroponic channel I've come across. Thank you mate.

[@bonitajackson857]

Thank you for sharing all your hard work and knowledge with us. I have never done hydroponics before and I am really excited to try this in the coming year.

[@blackswansystem]

The channel that just keeps giving 🎉🎉

[@antonwearsakilt5209]

Well done mate, I'm looking forward into making these for a new system myself. God Bless and God Speed

[@USS_Liberty_never_forget]

Thank you brother

[@rickvangunten4800]

Well, you got me excited. I already have most of the materials lying around, Except for the wicking. A great improvement cost-wise.Looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for sharing..........................>

[@dennisshoemaker2789]

I don't know which is better, the idea or the video. I love watching you work out your ideas and your reactions to the success. Keep up the good work.

[@javan6982]

Excellent!

[@superresistant0]

You create my favorite hydroponic content. Never stop inventing.

[@Belzrox]

Mate this is Gangster! Love your work, Thanks for sharing, so simple 👍

[@haydo1990]

Home run mate, smashed it

[@Rob-tt4ep]

I've been trying to figure out a cheap spike but this is just pure genius. And sharing it makes you really great.

[@serialcleaner6487]

Hoocho, You are a Master for me.

[@normawingo5116]

That’s really a great idea

[@willulearn]

Very Impressive Hooch! My towers follow a similar melt-and-mend structure to save on no net pots or PVC addons. I wouldn't say your grow stick is obsolete though! I am actually printing out your spikes as we speak, and I know here in southern California, lots of bugs love any source of water they can find, and since these are directly on the ground, that large opening is a good opportunity for them to get inside the gutter and clog or just plain multiple and then go for your delicious crops! Still, very crafty and definitely works for people who don't have access to a 3d printer!

[@willulearn]

On just a second thought, a small insect screen with a few small staples or silicone caulking would likely remove any chance of pests getting into the system

[@melsibley5191]

You should be pleased with yourself with that spike system , well done , take a bow sir . Another means for a dirt cheap wick could be a cotton mop , inexpensive and readily available . Keep up the good work , definitely headed in the right direction . Much love Hoocho from uk 🇬🇧

[@Heyron420]

This guy 😂 got me doing all kinds of builds. Love it!! Great job Hoocho🌱💚

[@beardjuice]

God damn hoocho. That one was impressive.

[@beardjuice]

I'd like to point out that you put a bunch of these in series connected to a single pump and remove the float valves 😂

[@davidleonard1511]

I could even see this as a tiered system tying two or more together even with different levels, but with different levels, additional float valves would be needed. This is a really cool idea. I could totally feel your excitement and agree. I can't wait to try this when I move back to the states.

[@randyjohnson3405]

you do amazing things on here!

[@fyithisisnotrocketscience5150]

There are so many ways to adapt and use that system

[@BunkerhillSt]

Amazing~~. You're genius.

[@jchoover111]

Thanks!

[@marcelmartin2173]

Perfekt job 🔥🔥🔥

[@ericb.1009]

Best DIY ideas ever keep on going :D

[@petermann3716]

Awesome!!! 👍🏼

[@jamesbailey6334]

I love this idea. I'm also using the downpipes as cheap hydroponic containers and they are superb. I've also been using a wooden frame to anchor the plastic as I heat it, but in addition I've shaped the template with 45 degree angles so that only the part of the pipe I intend to bend is being heated. This makes it easier to bend to shape as the rest of plastic remains firm, then I use a damp cloth to quickly cool the edges as I hold it in place. I love this channel, thank you for all the work you put into your videos. It's only because of your excellent tutorials that I had the confidence to make a start with hydroponics.

[@Philmoon69]

finally something more than 3d printing . great video

[@anandaditya479]

*Simplest ideas are the best ideas*

[@michaelb21gator9]

Thanks for doing all the thinking for us. I also melted the end of the gutter, but your way of folding it up makes it less leakable. No end caps is a great method. I cut 2 slits at the bottom of my 7-gallon (26-liter) fabric grow bags. I feed worn socks through them as the wicks. It's a tad bit more work, but I think it should do as well.

[@troygunter1600]

McHoocho you legend

[@arcticgreen-energy7353]

Honcho you might be a Aussie but you have one of the most helpful and informative gardening channels on KZbin keep it up❤❤❤
