Make A Mini Hydroponics System On A Budget - Grow Perfect Plants EVERY Time!

Today on Grow It I'm making a DIY hydroponics system that's cheap to make and the best part is that you can take it anywhere.

You can grow hydroponic lettuces, hydroponic tomatoes, hydroponic strawberries, anything!

This system uses a USB rechargeable oxygenating pump, to make sure that the water stays loaded with oxygen to not only speed up, but also increase the yield of your hydroponic crops.

Here's everything that you need to make your own (by ordering through these links you help to support my channel at no extra cost):

3" net pots and rockwool cubes are available on Amazon but cheaper locally.

How do I know how high to fill the water to?

0:04 I LOVE that you kept the 'ice cream' van jangling away in the back ground & didn’t do another take! Thank you for uploading your knowledge for us noobs 🤗 🪴

I used a few Pawfly aquarium pumps to grow avocado seeds in tall glass bottles 2 years ago, they grew well for individual hydroponics. I should have left the sproutlings in the bottles, the moment I planted them outdoors directly in to soil mediums. The avocado trees wilted over a few days later. I think I still have videos of them somewhere in my phone.

Thanks for this, i am just getting started and really looking forward to setup my first home mini garden. Q: I see in other videos where water is circulated in pipes, wonder in this setup how often you need to replace the water.

When you have your rockwool-sprouted starters in the slotted pots, (without any roots showing), do you water them from the top? Or is the water underneath enough for them to receive nutrients? Does the water in the tub come into contact with the 3" slotted pots?

I can’t wait to start thank you so much 😊

[GlobalHarry]

Excellent video. Love your friendly approach and informative content. I'm inspired to give it a go!

[OGCrypto]

great video, I do this but with way less water

I am looking to grow alpine strawberries in a hydroponics system. The thing is I have seen people do it and they get root rot at times. Is root rot a simple fix or does it need extra to avoid it?

[MissZaphora]

I'll have to give this a go, it looks easy peasy 🤓

[falldaeyez]

Mannn!! Thank you so much 🙏🏽 I definitely found a hobby I love🥰 I’m grateful

[suebolton]

Glad to have found you! Very helpful. I was given a bottle hydroponics kit & lettuce started off well but then went weird, didn’t say to let water drop so only roots were in it plus no oxygen circulation but may well just try something similar to your system here. Am following for my tips 😊

Hi and thx u much! Just want a windowsill plant. Your awesome!

[thefutureofgardening]

Would you find it better for future boxes to use an opaque color to avoid the hydrogen peroxide treatments? Are you fighting any algae growth now the the hydrogen peroxide has subsided? Thank you for sharing. Love the video.

Hello, how much water is in? I mean, how high is the water level on the cup with rocks? should it only be touching the water or completely submerged? Thank you

[famdegroot]

What acid did you use to reduce the pH?

[queazyzelk]

Any tips for doing this with strawberries and herbs? Trying to plan a fun activity for highschoolers.

[anitha]

Could you tell what other plants can grow

[ryderr]

[udunmaonuohaben]
