This is a great build, but there's important information afterwards that you've left out. My guess is you're going to run this a quasi dutch bucket/aeroponics setup, where the water is pumped to the plants periodically and they stay in net cups (which we see, for example, at 9:29. You could easily run it as NFT, but again, the plants are in net cups. For those that aren't familiar with hydroponics, the building of the system is only the first step and you should include a follow up video showing it actually being used.
they dont have the cups at builders, couldnt find the gutter clips as well, the pvc they used is not food grade, but I'm building it anyway, will be using the pool noodle instead of cups
Advisable to get food safe, non toxic UPVC tubing (not PVC) which is unplasticised PVC. Also use aquarium grade silicon glue to seal pipes as is non toxic.
PVC piping has been used in drinking water applications for decades. Literally just about every home in America has them. Most have them for the waste pipes and (most relevant here), many use PVC piping for drinking water. The hydroponics community has also been using PVC piping forever. Translation: the piping he used here is completely fine.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Cigarettes have been smoked by many people forever, they are fine! Asbestos has been used for decades! It's fiiiiine :))) Translation: you're ignorant of the global microplastics pandemic
if you wanted more oxygen saturation in your water allow the return line to break the water surface in the main tank. Also if the public doesn't know, you're using a #4 possidrive bit on your cordless drill for the wood screws
it is a nice starter setup but root rot will be an issue, the water should drain through the system when the pump is off and for that, there would need to be a bigger reservoir with the pump on a timer.
Really nice and attractive design. I would copy this but make a change to the water levels, they are a little high, I would move those drain ports as low as possible to not keep so much stagnant water in the tubes, more like a true spec NFT, keyword "Film"
Awesome instructional video! Thank you! Couple questions: Could the entire length of 110mm pipes have been used for a bigger system? Also, how did you calculate the system capacity?.. Thanks again
YES, I thought there was just a thin film of water flowing under gravity through the system. I think it is called NFT - Nutrient Film Technique. Although there is a Kratky method which uses a bucket filled with nutrient solution that depletes as the plant sucks up the food, maybe this is following that principle.
I am very keen on making one of these hydroponic gardens. Please can someone email me the breakdown of the cost of materials. My husband may have some of the materials in his garage so a breakdown would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hello, dear friend. I like your beautiful videos. I would like to learn this method. I have a suitable place, I have plenty of water, but where do I start, please guide me, thank you❤❤❤
I am trying to build this system in the USA. I can’t locate the 400 liter per hour Rhino pump used in the video. No other company seems to have a pump with dimensions that will fit into the 4” pipe. Also, I am using imperial dimensions of 4” for the pipes and 0.75” for the connections. thoughts?
Your video gave me so much confidence to try hydroponics myself. I’ve also shared my own experiences on the topic on my channel, would love any feedback! ⏰
Your 19 mm drill bit is equal to 3/4 inch but the end piece you use to thread into the end of the cap should be drilled out to 1 inch not 3/4 inch at least here in Canada. Also the size of the holes you drilled for the cups is equal to 2 1/2 inches, yet I can not find any cups 2 1/2 inches, only 2 inch or 3 inch. I'm also still waiting to hear from you regarding the water if it is to run continuously or set for a certain time of on and off. Thanks again.
water runs all the time with hydroponics otherwise it stagnates and loses oxygen, it is a liquid nutrient that the plants sit in and draw their life from, think of the water as blood, it needs to move and flow always or it dies.
Hi how are you all doing I live in a rain rainy rainy area I like the PVC design and the materials used as well however for as long as that plastic has a shelf life of over five years I really don’t think that The wooden frame will hold up. I’ve seen similar designs here and by the way if you had a dry area and if it’s under a roof disregard this comment I referred you outdoor hydroponics thank you
A ppm meter will get you there. Look for a Hydroponic store. Some may be catering to the cannabis market but they will still help you. Just different weeds!
By the way if you drill a 2 1/2 inch hole you won’t fit your net cups in them. The hole needs to be 3 inches in order for the net cups to sit deep and properly for the water to reach the bottom of the net cups. At least in my world. Sad you haven’t responded.
Heres another dilemma to ponder, when you have to change the water with the solution in it, how do you empty it. The outlet for each hole in the tubes sit above the upper half of the tube making it difficult to fully drain the water. I think you'll need to put in some drain plugs in each tube. Also the tube just before the reservoir doesn't fill properly when the pump is on. It does not allow enough water to rise up and reach the bottom of the net cups. The water flows back into the reservoir then gets pumped back up to the top tube and then follows down each tube until it gets back to the tube just before the reservoir, these seem to work. When the pump is off the water fills up the tube just before the reservoir making it really only a bigger reservoir for the water to sit and wait until the pump turns on to move the water again eliminating that tube to grow anything. At least this is what I am experiencing and since you don't return messages I find this is more of a trial and error. If your going to post videos on how to build projects, you should spend more time explaining, you are after all Professionals, YES ? hmmmm
For beginners that are handy, this is a good way to dip your toes. That said, the design is flawed and I wouldn’t recommend it. 1) The reservoir is too small and water will spill if and when the pump is off. 2) The ports are too high meaning that the water level is a little high for an NFT system. 3) The system is glued together and cannot be taken apart to be cleaned which is necessary from time to time. 4) The bottom pipe holds little water due to the design. This means it is only useable when the plants have long roots . Additionally, when the pump is off it converts to a holding tank and overspill.
Does the water run continuous or is it on a timer?? I’m picking up 4 inch PVC tomorrow I have reserved, then put it together as that was the last piece needed. Can’t find any 4 inch here on the island. Thanks. I’ll post a picture once I’m done
The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: "the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left".
Exactly, money is always eager and ready to work for anyone who is already to employ it, I was able to withdraw my profit of $17,000 after investing $3,500 with Mr Jay Frank some weeks ago.
He has been able to secure a steady inflow of returns off my crypto, it's was a lost with this whole pandemic situation causing me my job, it's just amazing to find Mr Frank and there's been no regrets ever since.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ////////////
Ideas like this in our overpriced world are great appreciated.
a shopping list would have been awesome!
By a country Mile - this is the best video of its kind out there. Thank you so much and agree with others, a list of items needed would be fantastic

hi Kevin would be nice to have a shopping list added description, video is well done thou
I totally agree as I am watching from Kenya. It would be great to walk into our local builder's with a Builders shopping list !!
they dont have the cups at builders, couldnt find the gutter clips as well, the pvc they used is not food grade, but I'm building it anyway, will be using the pool noodle instead of cups
For people asking for a shopping list, here's what you'll need:
1. Store-bought trestle (wooden frame)
2. Four 1-meter lengths of 110mm PVC pipe
3. Eight gutter brackets
4. Packet of 5x25mm wood screws
5. Three 2-meter lengths of 110mm PVC pipe (to be cut into four 1-meter pieces)
6. Nine 110mm PVC end caps
7. One 110mm PVC T-piece
8. Length of 20mm electrical conduit piping
9. Six 20mm 90-degree bends
10. Six 20mm male screw adapters
11. PVC weld (glue)
12. Clear tubing (for pump connection)
13. Submersible water feature pump (400 liters per hour, 0.9 meters head)
14. Nutrifeed hydroponic fertilizer
Tools mentioned:
1. Drill driver with Phillips bit
2. Tape measure
3. Pencil
4. Spirit level
5. Hacksaw
6. 64mm hole saw (for drill)
7. Small piece of sandpaper
8. Utility knife
9. 19mm spade bit (for drill)
10. Pipe cutters
Optional:
- Paint and primer (if you want to treat the wooden trestle)
- Vacuum cleaner (for cleanup)
You’ve got four 1m lengths of pipe which aren’t needed (item 2) the requisite pipes are item 5
WhT size growing pods
Advisable to get food safe, non toxic UPVC tubing (not PVC) which is unplasticised PVC. Also use aquarium grade silicon glue to seal pipes as is non toxic.
So basically use schedule 40 PVC pipe suitable for potable water.
PVC piping has been used in drinking water applications for decades. Literally just about every home in America has them. Most have them for the waste pipes and (most relevant here), many use PVC piping for drinking water. The hydroponics community has also been using PVC piping forever. Translation: the piping he used here is completely fine.

Thanks a span Kevin. Material, measurements and tools , to be used well explained.
if you wanted more oxygen saturation in your water allow the return line to break the water surface in the main tank. Also if the public doesn't know, you're using a #4 possidrive bit on your cordless drill for the wood screws
Hi! How significant a damage on the crops if the pump stops working during the loadshedding hours???
I will definitely buy.
Please add shopping list.
Man!! Providing a shopping list would’ve made it a lot easier
Nice video no need for fall in the large pvc pipe water will still flow and hold water either way
😂😂😂 4:41 Your wife doesn't have a problem with the mess, it's the clean up she doesn't enjoy.

You need a bigger water reservoir with head space in case of a power outage. In your design, water will spill everywhere if there is loss of power.
You need to learn physics
@@Save_Tangkhul You need to learn common sense soy boy
Comments like this are quite helpful for us newbies.
Thank you!

Fantastic! Very clever xxx
Why doesn't builders sell projects as it is? Like package the projects ready to assemble please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
How much does the whole build cost ??
Good info. You did not mention the containers that you plant in that are placed in the holes. What are their size, and are they available at Builders.
net cups come in different sizes, you buy the size you want and drill the hole size to accommodate. Standard is 2 to 3 inches.
Does this hydroponic system or the crops get affected if loadshedding hits and the pump doesn’t circulate water!!?
very well explained❤❤
thanks for sharing your project sir
Can you connect this without gluing? This strikes me as something that will need to be cleaned every now and again
Yes
If you use a solar pump how would you keep the water from draining out at night
I'm concerned about root rot. Even when the pump is off the tubes are still going to be pretty full, roots soaked 24/7. Does it ever drain?
YES, I thought there was just a thin film of water flowing under gravity through the system. I think it is called NFT - Nutrient Film Technique. Although there is a Kratky method which uses a bucket filled with nutrient solution that depletes as the plant sucks up the food, maybe this is following that principle.
im doing a prodject i find it very helpful.
I am very keen on making one of these hydroponic gardens. Please can someone email me the breakdown of the cost of materials. My husband may have some of the materials in his garage so a breakdown would be appreciated. Thank you.
great tut big up
Thank you very much
Did you just add the plants with dirt straight into the holes or are those in sponges?
beautiful, except the vinyl tube should be black, not clear.
Black generates heat which is not good
@@JoeSmith-zg4fq very true, but you can paint black tubing to reflect heat instead of absorbing it.

why use soil as a medium? lava rock would be best for pest reduction.

Plants will only take nutrients up trough the soil or in this case water during the day. You can gladly leave the pump off at night

how often do you change the water in the tank/system?

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75
