[@Scrambles7]

BIG DOG!! been waiting for this bad boy to come out all week. Wondering what glorious information you have for us this week. Love the work big dog. Keep it coming. Highlight of my week

[@bryanpaynechefbrybry1067]

Thanks Hoocho. Really love that you show people all your miss adventures (not mistakes). It is very humbling of you.. so many other KZbinrs would delete that and only show the perfect product.. It has been a very up and down year for you buddy, but you have stuck to your guns and have come at the end a bigger and better man and channel.. Thanks very much for sharing. Have a wonderful Xmas and a even better productive new year..

[@illfightyounaked6696]

The best part of this channel is that you show problems in detail and take the audience through the solutions.

[@Eversor-si1kr]

I just want to say that while I haven't had a chance to do much with my own farming yet I really like your videos. They're very good keep it up. Uk here

[@SlfarrowXYZ]

Great video, love watching the process. Thank you for updating the Patreon files. Have a great Holiday!

[@jimmydavidson23]

Huge thank you for designing for the American system! More please 🍺 ❤❤❤

[@barcaisbest10]

Hoocho the hydroponic mad (good lol) scientist 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I like that you are always trying to make things more efficient… good stuff as always 🔥🔥

[@SpartaBobsky]

The first KZbin channel that provides real value to patreons. Keep going !

[@rpmland]

Love the chanel Hoocho, from hydroponic systems, nutrients, your LED reviews help a lot since I grow indoors. Thanks again mate, looking forward to what you'll come up with next!

[@bigonprivacy2708]

Love the creative approaches and ingenuity. Always appreciate the sharing of lessons learned. Every learns more from the mistakes than the successes! Thank you!

[@larrylingen8423]

That hat made you look really cute, I like your videos.... Have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year....

[@dennisshoemaker2789]

Great setup! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@batobucket]

Thanks Hoocho! Merry Christmas to you and the dog. I like the progress and everything you are sharing.

[@aceofspades5786]

Good work Hoocho, have a great Christmas.

[@rdwyer583]

Just an idea. add a tab on the top of your cap for a self tapping screw to help secure it to the pipe.

[@johnmcginnis5201]

For those that may not have a 3d printer, Mike VanDuzee has developed end caps that you make by casting resin in a mold. Only works with american style downspouts. He has a youtube channel.

[@brandonlantier]

Its always something aye Mitchell, we create problems to create solutions lol! Love the new setup, Ive been putting off strawberries because of space issues Im on 1/4 acre but I think I have it worked out, Merry Christmas!

[@wayne8113]

Thanks Hoocho 👍 🎄

[@davidturner2358]

Have you considered including screw holes on the sides of the end caps to reduce the chances of blow outs? This would mean the silicon could be used as a gasket instead of as a glue and gasket.

[@tombeespoke9384]

Happy birthday Hoocho, your birthday message went private so I thought I’d message you here. Love your work champion!

[@dejanknezevic3693]

I was thinking on this this morning,how and what to do,and agein you are there for great ideas! Tnx buddy!!!

[@tonymckessar5734]

sweet grief things have changed, I was into hydroponics around 18-20 years ago, and man the improvements and varieties of systems available now. For some one in South Oz where do I go for starting over? what to grow, what systems to use.

[@jeffrichards2011]

Nice Job!

[@MenAreSpeaking]

Have you considered using rivets to fasten the system? Perhaps caulk, adhesives, or glues can just be there for sealant. A rivet is a convenient way to fasten two surfaces while you only have access to one side. This makes rivets helpful for piping systems where you cannot reach the inside to, say, hold a nut in place for a bolt. Rivets come in alumin(i)um and stainless steel, so it should be rust free either way. I would suggest Alumin(i)um, as a softer metal wouldn't bite into the vinyl as much when riveting. A hand rivet tool is inexpensive, as are the rivets, and is a good hand-grip exercise 🙂

[@TS-kb6lv]

if you get some clear bags you could see it wicking in real time. Great way to demonstrate this awesome design. :)

[@nickcarracher]

Thanks!

[@richjageman3976]

Great video, new subscriber!

[@jeremygenslinger4874]

Just use a couple of stainless steel screws on each end one on either side along with the silicone would stop the ends from popping off like that especially if the silicone doesn't actually adhere to one of the 2 plastics very well but would still seal

[@tiredofsacred]

good work

[@ProjectDIYOz]

Thanks for the video mate, love it. I was wondering, with a future version, could you perhaps add tabs to the side of the end caps that have securing buttons on the same. That way, drilling two small holes to fit the tabs would give you that extra security of it not being able to blow the whole end off.

[@davidw1324]

Now make a play list with all the videos needed. I think you said 4. Good video,

Thank you very much from France, here aquaponics and hydroponics are still not well known. I will also make an aquaponics system rather a prototype and see later what it will give.)

[@urbanharvestdfw]

ok I gotta try this

[@FlinFarmer]

silicone and then sheetmetal point screws to hold in place until it dries. Id use shoeglue over silicone. silicone is useless as a plastic glue but screws is a compromise.

[@gilgalpert]

Gracias por su video

[@wulfheir]

Hoocho, have you modified a 'deck rail planter' for any of your rain gutter systems, seems like they would work well. I've seen your videos but haven't seen you utilize them. They are commonly available in Canada, maybe not in Australia.

[@davidmoore7303]

Good thinking 🤔

[@adesign5]

I grow them wherever, grow like weeds. Struggled in beginning, but now that I have over 10, they produce a lot. Natural compost with natural worms as food

[@katiebell5794]

Hi Hoocho! I love your videos. They've been very inspiring! It looks like you've created a wonderful paradise for yourself 🙂 I wanted to ask, how often do you drain the nutrient solution for your strawberries, or do you just let it fill through the float valves as it evaporates?

[@GCSD]

This looks like a great system. I've done many of your systems before and have had great success. My question about this one is...are strawberries worth it? After many seasons of different varieties of vegetables, I've never had the output of strawberries similar to tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. I know the tastes are amazing, but do you think the juice is worth the squeeze? Maybe this technique will change my mind though, but I'm hoping to hear from others.

[@ronpalmer7260]

You can put a screw through each side to hold the pressure and then the silicone should keep it sealed just fine.

[@leannekenyoung]

I found that I wasn’t successful growing strawberries in a couple of experiments using hydroponics. Some they got way too hot and others feet were too wet for too long. I purchased root stalks as well but I didn’t have one success out of 25. Sooo frustrating! I don’t know if the nutrient solution wasn’t strong enough or what the issue was exactly but I wasn’t able to save them despite best efforts. It’s my dream to have strawberries growing inside my apartment one day!! Please advise how you managed with your strawberries from a year ago and how your current setup is working. Just such an expensive undertaking compared to growing the easier plants like lettuce and tatsoi but will also enjoy even more!!! Thanks for all your help in teaching about hydroponics I’m absolutely blown away on all the food I’ve grown from seeds!! I would have never believed possible indoors!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦Happy New Year!!

[@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube]

Awesome creations. Ill have to give this a go. I can't help wondering about leeching. Plastic's and other such material can and will leech chemical, from its structure, into your soil. I guess we cant really get away from it unless we use wood from a safe source.

[@katiewood6036]

Have you tried any of the parthenogenic varieties of cucumbers? Our favorite is Beit Alpha. They don't require pollination to produce fruit.

[@mari-potato]

it's cool

[@catamaranman333]

You should expiriment with polypropylene filament like GF30-PP. it doesnt leak THROUGH the print like PLA.

[@bdog5369]

Anthracnose fruit rot has become quite a problem for commercial setup. This is interesting.

[@angryboba]

How did it turn out? Do you have a harvesting video for this system?

[@paulnguyen4916]

Is there an update on how this system worked?

[@timd1191]

Couple of carful screws, would be ideal for those end caps. Great design though.

[@alpineflauge909]

sweet

[@TheDMTLover]

Does your wicks gets congested with roots with time ?? Curious. :-) Good job

[@supplies4reptiles228]

does this work better than the dripline inserted in the bags? which one is more cost effective and lastly i saw some videos with bags and drip irrigation lines placed right next to the plant in the bag.. end of bags are placed to return excess water back..

[@neal0071234able]

The black soil bags.. How many inches of soil is that

[@user-sm2pu7jv3p]

hi Hoocho, if big raining day, outdoor hydroponic system will flood?

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

Where can I buy those Rock Wedges for wicking? Buy from you? Or do you know a source in the US?

[@adam-og9gd]

Where can you buy the end caps?

[@John-gm8ty]

what is the wicking material you use in this system?

[@13kulig]

Can you tell me what brand of nutrients you are using?

[@parkypeteattarzalihoney6536]

Hi Love your videos Where do you gat the wick plugs from

[@Hoocho]

They’re 3D printable designs available on my patreon

[@albertt2686]

👍

[@espjason]

Hi is the glue and plastic food safe

[@jesusHernandez-kp5mc]

what is the size of the holes?

[@skylinevspec000]

5 walls has been my solution. its thiccccc but works, minimum of 3 walls. default is 2 I think..

[@prudhvikumarsangani3612]

How much yield did u got ?

[@jamess1787]

1:33 Domesticated dingo!

[@reshardbelilam4269]

What type of 3D printer you used

[@robertcline7603]

Quick question is any one in this community concerned about the phenols and phalates found in these types of gutter systems or is this just a distinctly American concern?

[@jonathansukanto3052]

how to make like this 8:09 thank you

[@spocksvulcanbrain]

How many dollars/strawberry did that cost?

[@bentheguru4986]

Try using Urethane rather than Silicone's that have way too many variants that wont always work on plastics. Urethane is strong and sticks like s##t on a blanket.

[@reshardbelilam4269]

You air rate the nutrients

[@danielhoward5779]

The only square pipe I can find locally is 63mm x 63mm

[@ricardo-iw9sq]

You must be in the UK like me and have struggled with finding the rectangular style pipe, the simplest I've found but not built yet would be to use 110mm diameter pipe as you can buy it anywhere and the same with fittings, you can get 4" post covers that are for decking but the cost isn't feasible. The other way is to make a wooden open top box and line it with ground sheet plastic.

[@nil0bject]

"rain gutter grow system" is confusing. it's just a flood and drain gutter setup, isn't it?

[@Hoocho]

Nah the level stays consistent. RGGS is the term coined by its inventor. Larry Hall

[@Hoocho]

(He made them out of rain gutters)

[@nil0bject]

@@Hoocho gotcha

[@acawap]

impressive, but we use the phrase "super simple" very differently.

[@ThomasMasterpiece]

Silicone isn't a good glue for these plastics. Look for a better glue.

[@shanti_shine]

marry me

[@tasossotiriadis4979]

Sorry but I cant really understand where the Super Simple System is.

[@philq01]

Thanks!
