Harbor Freight Greenhouse & Hydroponics Overview

We took the 10x12 Harbor Freight greenhouse, and modified it in order to run a full hydroponics setup. We used 4 gallon buckets with perlite and organic nutrients. Each plant is organic, and we are able to fit 30 buckets in the greenhouse. In the future, we will post an update during our harvest.

Thank you I needed ideas for my HF 6x6
I've started beets, lettuce, all the herbs, tomatoes, corn, sunflowers, radish, okra, peas, greenbeans....etc

I wish that thing would hold up during Florida's wild storms and hurricanes

I like this video. I really wanted one of these but 3 years ago my neighbor down the road literally finished one and that night a storm ripped it apart. I still find those panels in the woods between us. I like how you’ve braced yours

Hey, some thoughts for anyone who sees this and likes to build it. I think the dutch buckets are too close together for tomatoes and the cucurbits family plants.. Also, the greenhouse is probably not high enough for the tomatoes, due to them being raised half a meter. You are probably okay for the peppers. Maybe you can give your plants a boost by using dedicated hydroponic nutrients. The 0-4-4 does lack a lot of punch! No nitrogen at all. I recommend the general hydroponics 4-18-18, combined with Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom salt) and Calcium Nitrate for the nitrogen. This is their tomato blend, which works pretty well for peppers and cucurbits. Your plants will double in size!

Also, you might consider putting a lid on the reservoir, to hinder algae growth.

Bought that greenhouse. Reinforced it a bit. Blew over like a leaf. Recommend framing it with wood, or buying something less flimsy.

Minor correction, the automatic roof vents open and close based on the temperature inside the greenhouse, not the outside as stated.

It's easy installed for a rich people but for the poor people they can afford to buy..all they can do is to use the chipest and available to their area..tanx for sharing

I did a very similar setup at the beginning of the season with a 6x8 version. Hope to see abother video with updates. I may make one too with a subsequent planting at the end of the month.

You have done a wonderful job. Keep up the good work.Thanks.🙏👍

Look's Fantastic Brother! TY for the share

[squirrelmasters]

Now you should make sure all plants running on the system have the same nutrient requirements

Id love to see how you keep the temps regulated from overheating in the summer. Great job bro

I bought one just like it and so did my neighbor. Both of them blew down with the first little win. Mine was so twisted up and bent I couldn't salvage it. My neighbor could salvage his. And he had to reinforce it with heavier aluminum and 2x4 lumber. They are made of the lightest aluminum you can find. The sliding doors never did work right. Save your money and build one out of

Great video! i got a few new ideas for my greenhouse

Tip: make a good light proof cover for your reservoir lid, or your gunna have a system full of algae and nutes levels and PH all over the place. Also too much sun exposure causes some of the nutrients to Precipitate out of your mix this means that they get so hot from the suns rays they kinda melt togther into large clumps and fall to the bottom of your rez. Worst part is you wobt ve able to just stir them back up youve gotta totally remix the nutrient solution to reppace whatever mineral or nutrient it was that fell out.

FYI, not all hydroponics are RDWC. For small growers F & D is much simpler, and works quite well
