Anyone using 2 inch net cups - use 4 inch pvc down pipe for the main tower but make the slits at least 5cm wide and use 1.5 inch pipe tapered to a point at one end to make the holes in the slits. Worked for me. 2” net cups sit nicely in the holes. I made a 1.8 metre tall tower from a 4” wide downpipe and using the technique in this video for the holes for the net cups. Attach a 15mm or 20mm wide straight tube or pvc pipe to a mini submersible water fountain pump in a bucket or tub with a lid, cut 4” diameter hole in lid for tower to go through and put the finished tower system over the pump/tube sat in the bucket of water. Put a cap on the top of the tower or cover with plastic bag and elastic band at least. Switch pump on a timer if possible set to 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off and experiment.
What's the outside diameter of the 1.5 inch pipe you use for making holes? We are all mm (metric) here so can't locater 1.5 inch pipe. If you just give me the outside diameter in mm that would be great!!! :) or outside diameter in inches will be great also.
Thank you for sharing . A neat method for making the: 2''-inch Net Cup holders ! MOSTLY - Thank you for allowing comments here. I appreciate seeing many other positive comments from other gardeners. AND many Thank You comments- your sharing is so helpful. ALL the Best, Cheers, DK...
If it was me (and I was doing aquaponics instead of hydroponics) I'd put a 5 gallon pail with a lid at the bottom of the tower to act as a buffer tank and a submersible pump in it to bring water back to the aquarium (being careful to keep the flow rate where your pump won't cavitate) and have a separate pump in the aquarium to put water in through the top (once again watching the flow rate to make sure it doesn't over fill the 5 gallon pail at the bottom).
@@mamadffaye In the aquaponic system Jessica is describing, water is pumped from a fish aquarium to the top of the tower shown and dispersed. That water flows down through the tower, giving the plants water and nutrients. That water falls into a bucket below, and is then pumped back into the aquarium, completing the cycle. For a hydroponic system, which doesn't involve fish, nutrient solution would simply be pumped from the reservoir at the bottom of the tower to the top, where it would then flow back down into the bucket.
Your system is the best I have seen of getting the pots to the inside of the large pipe so make sure water hits all the pots. Ingenious method of using the pipe to make the bend. Why both spend money on pvc y joints when this works better and gets the pods inside.
I haven't built this yet but if I do I'm planning to run 3/4" PE tube up the inside from a submerged pump in the reservoir that has barbs splitting out to several 1/4" PE tubes pointed at different sides of the pipe. That should get you good coverage along the walls of the pipe. To be even more sure you could use 1/4" spray emitters
hello congratulations for the work you have done I can ask you a favor I did the tower but I have a problem the water comes out from the edges of the jars what can I do if I turn down the flow some jars do not receive water.
What is the wall thickness of the 3" pipe you are using? Mine doesn't seem to be as easy to manipulate as the ones you have in the video. I got it done, but it was messy. :(
Just FYI I’d only try this outside as PVC fumes can be extremely dangerous when it hits a melting point. As for leaching chemicals, I wouldn’t know if melting the PVC creates potentially lingering issues however one person pointed out that growing your own food is often healthier versus store bought so perhaps that offsets potential hazards.
That is not true. Simply by melting, off-gassing occurs. You don’t need a fire to breathe in toxic chemicals. Same applies to other plastics such resin-based 3D printers. Many gasses are invisible and toxic. Again, I would only recommend doing this outside. @@NaveedAkhtarButt

Hello fabulous your project but I should ask you to send me the measurements to be able to tell the Italian seller since I do not understand anything and then we would be really happy if you could show us the pump system thanks
PVC does not leach things to water. It resists inorganic substances Our piping systems use PVC, even residential water. Its not like we are consuming it, so don't worry 😂😂😂 But of course, avoid direct sunlight. UV light ruin its structure, then its particle will leach to air, water, or soil
Whatever size pipe you wanna use to make the holes. I thought about what size he used to stab the big pipe and make the holes and duh whatever size net pot you want
I have 2'' inch diameter NET cups, they look the same size. Thank you Petani ! Fabulous appearance, creative design and thank you for your generous sharing. It gives me more ideas. I'll share when they come together. Thank you, DK.

DIY : How to make a vertical tower hydroponic system (Part 2)

Best method I've seen for making nice neat professional looking rims! Thanks for that tip!
this is by far the best looking pvc diy growing tower.

Gina have you managed to figure out the appropriate time intervals for the pump?
Thank you
@@MrTux001 schedule 40 is 1 7/8". I believe that's about 47.6 mm.
nice technique for making the hole. I did not realize you could make such nice holes by bending the tube backwards before inserting it. thanks!
Agreed!!

You are the grow tower expert!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 They look amazing. Wish I had know about this technique a long time ago. Very impressive!💪🏼💪🏼😍
Definitly gonna recomend people watch your technique on my channel. Thanks for sharing this!
Well thought out and executed, I love the fact that you suggest the piping to be used, thanks.
Best video about shaping the holes. Thank you!
I built this! Used a 5gal home depot bucket for the reservoir. The beer bottle trick is genius!
Love the hole technic! many kudos for the video thanks!
Best method I ve seen so far. Thanks for sharing !
Wow genius! Gonna do this myself. Thanks for sharing
Hi! Can you make a video about water pumping system inside the tower?
If it was me (and I was doing aquaponics instead of hydroponics) I'd put a 5 gallon pail with a lid at the bottom of the tower to act as a buffer tank and a submersible pump in it to bring water back to the aquarium (being careful to keep the flow rate where your pump won't cavitate) and have a separate pump in the aquarium to put water in through the top (once again watching the flow rate to make sure it doesn't over fill the 5 gallon pail at the bottom).
@@missfixitCanada can you please explain. I don't understand. Thanks

The first one minutes of this video are the best IMO(in my opinion)
And let me add a big THANKS too!
Great trick for making clean looking holes 👍🏾👍🏾
Best way to make the holes i've seen! Great inspiration, thanx a lot!!!
Freaking genius man!
Looks cool and neat!!!
keren tekniknya.. thank you for sharing. good works.
Best I have seen yet
almost like factory mould. great job.
bagaimana cara penyiraman pokok nya ?
Great content 👍 keep it up amazing idea 👍 vertical hydroponic great to see you.. stay connected old friend here 👍 keep it up 👍👍 amazing

*This looks great, the best looking method* 👍
Brilliant... Thanks so much for all your efforts.
bonjour monsieur , video tres intéressantes et formidable , comment faites vous pour faire circuler l'eau , merci
What size are those net pots?
Well done mate..very creative, gonna give it a go 4 sure😄👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤
this is amazing! thank you so much for sharing!
That's looks professional
Hi how do you ensure that all plants are given water. Is there a special tool or cap so the water spreads from all the sides of the pipe???
I haven't built this yet but if I do I'm planning to run 3/4" PE tube up the inside from a submerged pump in the reservoir that has barbs splitting out to several 1/4" PE tubes pointed at different sides of the pipe.

Very interesting and impressive what about to clean the that sistem
Kemas dan hebat👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
What kind of PVC are used
Hola , que diametro es el caño principal ? , donde van los cultivos , gracias
How do you handle if there is power outage?
where you take your black small cup ?
Can you provide the pvc pipe specifications? What is the diameter and the schedule (thickness) of the pipe?
how is the water trickle down affected by the bended plastic? are all the roots getting a good supply ? great vid, really clever and truly DIY
Great point! Maybe you have to drip right down the center of the tube? Otherwise it does look like the water will flow around the plant hole
Bonjour le tuyau utiliser pour former ces quel diamètre ??
7 minuta filmu. Brawo Ty !!!
I’ve seen a lot DIY but your method is the best one. Are your net pods inches?
hello congratulations for the work you have done I can ask you a favor I did the tower but I have a problem the water comes out from the edges of the jars what can I do if I turn down the flow some jars do not receive water.
Really well done
Bang klo ukuran netpot ny 5cm berati ukuran garis yg mau di bikin lubang 5cm jga y....mhon di bls y...
Mantap ini..anti bocor
Clean technique!
Amazing how u made the hole. Im never using a beer bottle again...
Parabéns amei vou fazer uma para me.sou de mossoró rio grande do Norte Brasil.
Hermano, muchas gracias. Brother, thanks so much
Great work! What can I do if water is leaking out of the side holes?
Nice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good instructions and aesthetic too 😍
would it be possible to use a 1 1/2 inches pipe to make the hole? or it would be too big?
Can you provide a link to the liquid fertilizer you mentioned?
Wow! Great work
Inc. Of net cup please?
very nice sir I hope I can make it
Hi ...good job man...i ' Ve do It but i have a problem.... water come out from the holes ...but i don t know why 😃
So how do u you water it?

What is the wall thickness of the 3" pipe you are using? Mine doesn't seem to be as easy to manipulate as the ones you have in the video. I got it done, but it was messy. :(
Excellent, thank you!
How much is the net pod size
Amazing, great job.
You re the best !
Great job. How do you prevent the pipe from ripping when pushing in the 1 1/4 pipe? each time I have tried, the 3" rips down each side.
Just FYI I’d only try this outside as PVC fumes can be extremely dangerous when it hits a melting point. As for leaching chemicals, I wouldn’t know if melting the PVC creates potentially lingering issues however one person pointed out that growing your own food is often healthier versus store bought so perhaps that offsets potential hazards.
You are only softening PVC pipe, no fumes will get out as melting point will not be achieved.
That is not true. Simply by melting, off-gassing occurs. You don’t need a fire to breathe in toxic chemicals. Same applies to other plastics such resin-based 3D printers. Many gasses are invisible and toxic. Again, I would only recommend doing this outside. @@NaveedAkhtarButt
How do you make your tower stable in the bucket?
I used river rocks. Make a good weight to keep it from blowing over and allows decent drainage.
Where should I buy the best aeroponics vertical system? And where is the aeroponics vertical system available in India?
Pak itu garis yg di gergaji ukuran berapa? Apa di ambil setengah dari pipas 1 1/4?
Hi, is the 11/4 in thing cut at 45 degree angle ? Thanks !
Hmmmmm will water just spill out?
Where do you get the little pot from that goes into the holes
Lots of online grow places. Pot shops or cannabis shops always have them. Water pond nurseries have them as well.
@@tylrpearson3165 Good to know. Thank you for your comment.
Hi, could you please eplain how many hours a day must be the motor running?
Just look up hydroponic systems, usually once per day for a a few hours
Excellent!

Is pvc safe to use, toxins are released when heated? I would like to make this, but worried about leaching.
PVC does not leach things to water. It resists inorganic substances
Our piping systems use PVC, even residential water.
Its not like we are consuming it, so don't worry 😂😂😂
But of course, avoid direct sunlight. UV light ruin its structure, then its particle will leach to air, water, or soil

excellent may i know the diameter of the netpot?
Most likely 1" since the pipe he used to make the holes is 1 1/4"
