Easy DIY D.W.C. Aeroponic Hybrid Hydroponic Setup under $30

This video is to show a cheap alternative way make an inexpensive and simple hydroponic setup. It is by no means the best way, but it works and will cause less evaporation of the solution compared to using an airstone. This helps keep the TDS and PH of the solution more stable while keeping the water oxygenated and keeping the roots in the air, moist so that the roots do not air prune themselves

This is simply brilliant! Wow. I would not have thought of that. I’m going to try this over the weekend. Thanks.

This seems like such a great idea. I have watched it a number of times and bought the stuff to set one up this weekend. I have seen other videos since where you are actually using it. That is a great recommendation. Have you thought of improvements or changes you would make now that you have used it a couple years?

very creative. looks nice too (5:30). i hate airstones, so i may try something similar. thanks for sharing!

This method is ingenius!!! It is so much less expensive than pvc and so much easier. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you!!!

Excellent video. I love aero!! Hope your well. 😊

[frankobermaier]

Just want to say, "THANKS". I made two of these in 6 gal totes and put in strawberries under lights; it's all working great.

Awesome video man. How much would be too much pressure coming from the pump?

[vena]

What do you suggest to keep the roots out of the pump?

[JaySmith-cezm]

Have you done one of Aeration vs Wicking ??? Very informative everything that you have done. Good for you young man...

[davidwebster]

Good video!! can you do more on nutrients for newbe's

[ynotitsfun]

Why not add a T splitter instead of cutting and sealing one end ?? Just curious

[davinatest]

Perfect idea many thanks for sharing❤️🙏🏼

Simple but works that's what it's all about

Does this method add oxygen to the water well or should I pair with an airstone?

[IAMGiftbearer]

This is very clever! Can a soaker hose like is used in air diffusers be used also, or are the holes too small to eject enough water?

[todayweride]

How often do you have to change the water if you have nutrients in it or do you just top up.

Have you been successful in growing peppers with this setup?

Hey there, how are the watermelons doing? I'm anxious to see how they turn out because I would really like to grow my own cantaloupes. The ones that I buy at the store are hit or miss. I end up throwing out half of them because they taste weird...really weird...it reminds me of the way nail polish remover smells. Thank you.

I really enjoy watching your videos because you take a more scientific approach to making decisions. DWC or Krantky? Well, let's test and see the difference? White or blurple LEDs? Well, let's test and see. So after watching lots of different hydroponics channels, I came to you to decide how to set up my first system. However, I'm concerned that (unless I've missed a crucial video), there are certain things you don't consider. Specifically, what materials--especially plastics--are safe to use around plants we'll be eating? From my preliminary research, PVC piping and vinyl tubing are not things you want your food exposed to. There are other food safe plastics: HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) are both widely available and considered safe for food. Most plastic tubs/bins/boxes sold at Walmart are made out of PP (recycle number 5). It's pretty easy to find HDPE tubing.


What do you think on the food safe plastics front?

Do you have the pump on a timer? If so how long on, and how long off?
great vids. thanks!
