We are passionate about Hydroponics , Trying and testing different methods and systems to produce the best results , Learning on the way. We focus mainly on lettuce and are here to bring you the best methods tips and tricks on Hydroponics.
Thank you to sharing your knowledge, but you didn't finish it. The installation of a pamp and water system connected through the PVC. I hope you will show us how to connect all together. Thanks
He doesn't tell us why it was discontinued. Doesn't show how the water will actually get to the top and flow to the different poles. Doesn't show how the water flows back at the bottom and not just sit there. Really doesn't show anything that we actually need to know
It is impressive the design identifies and solves some of the problems which is prevalent with a vertical hydroponic build. The chief of which is equal distribution of the nutrients to each of the plant holders. I have a simple 4 tower square design which was a common design offered by several on the Internet. I found the pump to be inadequate requiring absolute leveling to get the nutrient flow evenly divided. Thank you very much for your observations and thought but more than that, your willingness and expertise to share this with others. This makes you a great person, one who believes not in held information but rather shared information to benefit us all. In this very divided world we live in, this speaks volumes about your character. I truly appreciate it.
I don't get it. Where is the water exactly? No visual of that. You go from liner to floating plates? There is some steps missing. Am i that simple or is the core idea missing?
Dear sir I have watched your videos very carefully regarding hydroponic farming I am very confused about the season. The first is how many liters of water should I use, the amount of chemicals and the temperature needed to grow green house vegetables?
Can you please elaborate on the aeration system you use? Do you have an aeration system inside your sump pumps or do you have air pumps and air stones in each of the tables? I have a reservoir 4 cubic meters big and the water will get pumped out to 44 tables whose total water volume is totals 36.9 cubic meters.
Reality check: DWC is likely best for beginners or those who don't understand hydroponics very well. It's cheap, easy, more forgiving, and a good place to learn. But, literally ZERO professionals use DWC, which tells you something. Most use NFT for greens, and vegetables, and ebb and flo2 for root vegetables and large vegetables.
Was there anything you'd do differently? Any pains you may have encountered? Did it live up to your expectations? And, why did you decide to decommission it?
PVC is only used for waste water here in the USA because of the toxins that leach out over time and exposure to UV light. Was this system built with UPVC or CPVC? I suspect it wasn’t because of the costs involved. That is why I got a 3d printer and made my own grow towers of PETG. Maybe that’s a better way if you’re concerned about the toxins in Polyvinyl chloride.
My problem that is worrying me is how will i put a drainage system in that to remove the water after 14 days or a month later. Please would you suggest how to use a drainage in this system. Or i could use a submersible pump to drain the water?
at 653 now i understand why this system was discontinued, it barely touches the net pots, as such the lettuce or plant will be deprived. In the philippines we just use a heat gun to soften the pipe, then insert a bottle with a bottle with the same size dimension as the net pot to be used, just a suggestion.
you can buy a longer net pot so it will reach, at least, the middle of the main pipe. I bought a transparent pot and find it much better with this black pot. just a suggestion.. ;-)
I’m doing something similar in my basement. I have 4 50 ga reservoirs. One for each variety or do you think I could mix several in one and harvest several varieties at once vs more of a single cultivar per reservoir.
