I like this vlogger. No talk, just work. Very neat job. I hate vloggers who talk too much just to prolong their video time. Thanks man.

Nice video. Thank you for taking the time. A clear nutrient tank will probably give you problems with algae. Black would be better. Also, the pipe going back into the nutrient tank should be shorter so it makes a splash when it returns. This should give better aeration

A couple of notes. Make sure your pump isnt too fast for any of the bends, water will back up, especially when roots fill the flow tubes. Water will fill the flow tubes to the depth of the end cap hole, so the hole width for the cups need to be created so that the bottom of the cup sits below the end cap water exit level. Drill holes in the cups so that all the holes are in the water to prevent microbial growth and evaporation.

I've looked at countless of these videos and this one thought me the most, much thanks here!

Looks like he's using about 40 feet of 77mm or roughly 3" pipe for the plant tubes. Also appears to be using a 3" x 1" pvc reducer (2 for each tube end), 90° pvc elbow 1" (again, 2 for each tube end), 1" pvc that goes in between to join the elbows (I'd say he bought close to 20ft of it at least). That is all for the plant tubes.

For the frame, he's using 1" pvc pipe (same as the one used to join the elbows), with several 1" T couplings.

Last but not least, he has pvc glue to "cement" all the pieces together.

I can imagine all the stoners coming in to look at this... Seriously though, this is an excellent, cheap way to grow veggies at home! Add in a couple of fish tanks, and you have an Aquaponics setup, with the waste from the fish providing nutrients for the plants and those same plants cleaning the water for the fish. Its a great way to grow veggies and have a few fish to eat as well. Great job!

Nice build! I love the ankled pipe touch at the end! I would probably recommend not using a transparent reservoir to avoid the formation of algae.

You should not use a "clear" plastic bin for a nutrient reservoir, ratherly, opaque is preferable. Light shining though clear plastic will encourage algae growth and bacteria will grow on dead algae. This will create a mess to clean, and you want the nutrients for your plants rather than algae and bacteria.

I would love to see a follow up video. The lack of air with a water levels that deep in the pipe will probably cause a ton of phytophthora(root rot). Maybe air stones were used later?

please make another video after 20 days showing the growth of plants.

Excellent video. I would rally like to see a follow up time-lapse. Thanks

reminds me of my dad when he was in restaurant cooking and he needed to peel shrimp shells fast. Props to you for using power tools at same time

2 things.

1. I feel one end needs to have slight elevation to assist the fill and drain principle.

2. Two pvc tube at the very very bottom filled with sand to make the system more stable when all the weight of water is pumped to the top. Just a thought.

It's great! only a few complaints:
- PVC will not hold up to sunlight as it gets brittle to UVC. Future builds will have to be made from different materials.
- The water and nutrient tank needs to be opaque. Your clear one won't get hot enough to keep algae from growing.

Because he is working in metric system, his first pvc cut is at 115 cm. Closest one can get in American measures and supplies: using 4" pvc pipe in 4 ft lengths, first mark is at 6" and then 6" apart will yield seven marks per pipe for cuts with 51cm hole saw for 2" net cup. My husband raised me well, bless him! I think you can do the build from there without me, lol!

This ONE is super intelligent and I TRUST all his mind to hand skills. They all perfectly work according to his PLANS. SUPER-MAN I APPLAUD YOU

Nice tidy build. The system would be difficult to clean when the nutrient solution needs to be changed.Shield your reservoir from sunlight to prevent algae .With water that deep in the pipe, it`s likely that you will get some root rot because there will be a lack of oxygen in the water. A large bubbler ( air stone ) in the res. fed by an air pump would help with that .A shallower water level inside the rails would be better to help the plants develop their air roots, ( Nutrient Film Technique ) or NFT. The system looks great.

18 mins for us - whole day taken for you. Thanks 😊

Great project. You may find you get algae in a clear box, so try to keep out as much light as you can. While chemical hydroponics will work, the juice from composting and worm composting will work too and also be more organic. Thanks for the video.
