How to Build a Compact Flood & Drain Hydroponic System

To bring hydroponic farming to the home Hoocho creates a compact flood and drain, ebb and flow hydroponic system that anyone can use in whatever space they have available.

Flood and Drain Kit:

Hoochos explores the worlds of Hydroponics, Aquaponics, Permaculture, Homesteading, Fermentation, Technology Vanlife and DIY Builds to look at the world through a larger lens that can incorporate the best of everything into a rich and rewarding lifestyle.
Through self sufficiency we can reduce consumption and increase our hyperlocal household production.

Merch:
A way to support the channel and get some cool stuff too.
There are two stores because dependant on where you live in the world one will be cheaper than the other (shipping) and it gives a range of design flexibility.

If you have personal queries about hydroponics or other matters please join me on Patreon for limited individual support or post in the Hoocho Reddit community and there are a lot of friendly helpful likeminded people that may have answers for you.

Happy Hydroponicing!

You have been the only one who has explained that the solution drains through the inlet pipe. This was so helpful beacause in my country there's any development in this kind of systems. Thank you man

Hey boss! I live in an apartment and am very limited to space. I was wondering if you could possibly revisit this video? I would love to see what you would love to add or change being 3 years old!

[mfrederikson]

I miss the old videos with that bad soundquality, so authentic

Hi, which would be more growth/space efficient solution? This one or the 3d printed NFT solution you've made? I only have balcony for plants yet I have many plants (mostly bushy herbs) to grow.

[a_mnd]

Really well explained, thanks for the level of detail!!

[asifalam]

Nicely done. Its very pleasant to have some one who is from Australia. Which part of Au are you in?

[brannonwilson]

Try sticking a air tube and Stone into your Inlet for your grow tank to help oxygen eyes your water coming out

[alanhunold]

Great idea, I think I will use this when I finally get my indoor hydroponics set up going. Do you think having one bed flow into another before going back to the reservoir would work?

Hi mate, thank you for making a very practical video. I will try to make one and put in my laundry. Can I replace the outlet with a bell siphon system? Is it practical?

good afternoon. please advise how many times per day to do flood/dry cycles when growing herbs like basil. at the stages of germination, and a set of green mass. what your experience says. Thanks
