Great video , 👍 I've been a hydroponic technician for about twenty four years and that's the first time I've seen a deep water snake design mounted and or attached to a concrete wall. Kooly!
Nice idea and thanks for the detail on the solutions used. A few points. You headline this as cheap but then used far more fittings than required. Also, with a 3/4" feed from the pump not even running at capacity, you don't need 11/2" connections between the grow tubes. If you stand the assembly off the wall on 2" wooden blocks you will avoid the condensation around the grow tubes damaging the wall. Also gives a little more room for the plant to grow. If you stood it off the wall by even more, you cut down possible routes to the leaves by pests like slugs etc. 👍
The very first thing I thought was, why would you drill holes directly in your wall just for a hydroponics system. I agree, no way I’d drill holes in my wall when there are other options.
Great video. Thanks for posting! Too many comments are nitpicking your system, but weeks later, looks like the plants are alive and well and everything works. Simple and to the point.
wow this was great! I am setting up a hydroponics set up in my house this week. I've had success with indoor salad greens growing already, so now I hope to expand to some different options with doing a vertical wall set up. I have assembled the pvc structure, I just need to figure out the right size water container to hold everything. My rabbit and I are very excited about this project. Thank you for all the details on how you did yours!
@@crafttime2774 I purchased growing lights at Walmart for my wall set up. They were relatively cheap and were easy to connect together and plug into a timer. They handled my salad greens pretty well. I tried growing from a window box too, using just natural light but my cats decided that was a bad idea for now 🤣
Thank you so much Sir for sharing. I am a beginner and about to try my hands out on home gardening. Your step wise video is really really helpful. You made it quite understandable in a short time. God bless You.
Love the video. Thank you for sharing. Hydroponics is such a great way to grow. If I could add my two cents, and you probably already know this, but you'll have to paint the tubes a dark color to prevent algae from taking over. It'll rob the water of oxygen if you let it. If you already have algae, don't bother breaking the entire system down to clean it. Just paint the tubes a dark color and make sure you don't have any algae in the reservoir. The algae will die without light and then get circulated and reabsorbed by the plants.
Using Tapcons for the wall would be a more secure than plastic drywall plugs, as those usually break under any sort of strain. They also don't bite into concrete very well. Tapcons literally tap the concrete like tap and die tools, and will hold a great deal of weight. Also, drain plugs with screw caps in the bottom of each of those would allow for drainage and cleaning so they can be used for longer periods. Water, no matter how clean, gets slimy. If you start getting root rot (and even if you don't), it's a good idea to have 35% strength food grade hydrogen peroxide on hand to add to the water (make sure to mix very well in your water solution, and only use the recommended amount). It's used to clean veggie bins at supermarkets and such. However, be very, very careful with it. It will give you white spots on your skin because it's caustic/corrosive at that strength. Even the first aid stuff isn't something to use a lot, because it eats scar tissue.
I love this setup only two things I would do differently, use a closed light proof reservoir prevent algae formation and use declorinated water to keep the good bacteria alive on the roots.
First off Thank you so much for taking the time and money to share a detailed instruction video for free to all who want to learn and give it a go !! One thing I've noticed about all these hydroponic setups both indoor home and larger scale production labs is you seem to be fairly limited to what you can grow such a micro greens...small herbs and small amounts of salad leaves although I could be ignorant to its full scope of use it's just all I ever see grown is small salad leaves. In fact this outdoor set-up seems to have way more viable options than the usual modern electric setups. It just hurts me as a home grower to see people paying $20+ for 8 tiny docs of peat with a single seed in each. Especially the real fancy counter space setups most take months to grown enough leaves for a hobbit sized salad 🙄
Thanks for the detailed build 👍. Early in the video it looks like there are 5 grow tubes. In the final, there are only 4. The yield looks like 20 grow spots. I would actually like the additional 5 grow spots with 1 more tube. 3 types of lettuce + basil + cilantro. Do you think that would work? How did you calculate the amount of nutrients? Is it so much per plant or so much per volume of water? Thanks.
Hi Michael It looks 5 because I used short clip from my previous video , its all depends on your space , try to make it even numbers so your inlet and the last tube will be at same side. The ratio of the nutritional solution varies from one plant to another . Start with leafy vegetables ..
Hi there! -it's clay pebbles use it as a grow media you can replace it with lava rock , hydroponic sponge ... -you need to change water every 3 weeks .
yes you most likely will get algae very easy build up in tha system. it can however be prevented very easy. instead of the green box at the ground use a black one with a black lid on. make sure that absolutely no sun light gets in the box with the water and then you should be good to go with that system. i might actually build about 20 of those shown in the video. another thing to note is that sun light can come in through the plant holes. that can be prevented with a sponge or proper amount dirt/nuts ;)

Using Hydrogen Peroxide is fraught with danger. Depending on the strength it can cause very nasty burns. Purchase a set of Plastic Disposable Coveralls and use GOOD quality Gloves sealed to your Suit with Duct Tape. ( Sounding like working in a Laboratory) BUT those steps are necessary as spills happen and you DON’T want that stuff to contact your skin. Take care. G.
My system is pretty similar but I used elbows for the ends and wrapped it around a vertical frame kindof like a water slide... I get about 1/3 more spots to grow using almost the same surface area (8 pipes instead of 4). I Love how clean this one looks though
@@kemolollen5714 I live in Germany at the moment but you could get most of what you need at Home Depot for pretty cheap. I watched some videos, got inspired and the system I built is using elements of all of them. I have a small balcony so I had to build something for that space. As long as you follow the basic principles you can build a system in any shape. For me the most expensive part was the hole saw attachments and the hydroponic nutrients. Also nobody mentions this but your water pump needs to be strong enough to pump water to the top of your system. Mine barely makes it at 2 meters high but I had to return 2 pumps before I found one strong enough. The "ready made" kits are really overpriced for what you get
Great video with excellent instruction... I am considering modifying this build for an indoor setup in my one window just need to ensure I secure things down tight enough :) If i end up doing it I will make a video of the build linking your build as inspiration :)
Thanks for this. I was thinking about adding a pipe-based addition to my aquaponic system, and this answered all of my questions about maintaining water levels.
It looks very professional, but the PVC piping made it prohibitively expensive for me. 4" fittings are really expensive since they're rated for pressure while this is a non-pressure holding environment. Projected cost for doing this was $40 in the pipe alone, not to mention the brackets. Making it out of rain gutter (I'd probably use vinyl downspout so it's still got the benefit of sealing off light from algae) is probably WAY cheaper and requires even less fitting. I will say this looks MUCH more professional tho
There are a couple of other videos online that show systems made from recycled orange juice or milk jugs. So? You could definitely still do it and just change the item that you’re using AzarMain holding device.
Try looking at ABS pipe instead of PVC , the ABS is most often black instead of white and is not pressure rated as it is used for drains. Where I live ABS is cheaper than PVC
great video I think ill make this. I did have a couple of questions. First that are the cups called that you put the plants in and second. what were the beads you used to hold up the plants in the cups ? thanks
One major flaw in your system, the outlet at each section of the planter pipe is not located at the base of the planter, it’s a bit raised which will result in pooling of water in the system at all times. Roots of plants in the lower sections of the planter will end up rotting, you should have placed the outlet at the bottom point of each exit
@@waltermclean6212 Nah, it should be okay as long as you don't cut all of it. It should continue to grow roots, just like pruning, but on the roots. Just don't go nuts and shave the entire root system.
There seems to be very little flow rate. When you show the plant roots, they seem to be sitting in quite deep water. Isn't it better to have them sat in very little water, and to have it flowing over the roots to give an even distribution of nutrients, and maybe to tilt the pvc rows so the water is running downhill at a quicker rate?
Hope this is a Sensible Question. I have noticed a few comments regarding Oxygen Content in the Water. Would a “Bubbler Stone”, the same as those used in Fresh Water Fish Tanks, be of any benefit??
Thanks for the video. Your detailed description is very instructive. Questions: 1) why are the openings of the bush reducers turned up and not down? 2) How often do you run the pump to water the plants? Thank you.
Very informative video! I live in a city in India, so not sure what plants might be good (temps of 41 C in summer, around 20 C in winter). Could you share any links you used as reference for the nutrient concentrations, flow rate calculations? Also, would be good if you can share how much the entire system cost you to build. If you can give a breakup of the cost, that'd be even better!
Hi there ! The system cost me around 50 USD , it's depends on the prices on your place , you can screen shot the things and go at your local hardware store and ask about the prices , so you know how much will cost you , ( that's how I always do ) I really don't know what plants can grow at your place , Normal hot plants like cucumber , watermelon , tomatoes ... The flow rate I run my pump 30 min and off 30 min (using timer ) Off at night , The nutrition I use Hydroponic liquid fertilizer . Thank you.
Tomato , cucumber and melons need vertical or horizontal space which is not enough in the shown plan. Tomatoes need vertical supports and trimming to be done frequently forget breathing space.
They look great if tou ad a enzyme product to the res it will it and rot that form on the roots I notice a little bit when ypu where pulling out the roots
Solves my problem only thing I would change is putting it in a closeable tote and add a toilet float so the water level would self maintain itself. I'm gonna try it thanks man.....
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB I will have to draw out how the physical structure will look like and to see what is more efficient for the most yield. I will definitely filter the water out, thank you!!
Great job looks good How often do you run the pump? I have a similar setup and I only run my pump for 15 min every 8 hrs to top off the tubes. Kind of using mine like a Kratky system. And my tube are level so I always have just over an 1" of nutrient in it.
Good work ❤. But how do we determine the quantity of water appropriate for the number of pipes used, more so that one may decide to extend the length of the pipes. Thanks.
I have recently heard about incorporating electricity and copper wire to increase the growth of the plants. Electricity is a natural pest deterrent, too. I came here looking for that. Maybe you'll be able to research this too. And, I wouldn't have the pipes up against the wall like that, good luck.
Can it be attach to fence? My house sun rise in the front and setting in the back of my house. The only side that gets full sun is on the south side of the house
When tamping the couplers and parts together, use a piece of 2"x6" board. It will enable you to apply relatively even force to the entire circumference with each tamp.
What are those brown balls you added to each pot? Also thank you very much this is awesome. I don't have a garden, but I can still set this up near the window. I have been growing mints, lots of spring onions and garlic. I want to start with ginger. It has been going fantastic.
Since your inlet and discharge tubes are above a water line you might have considered individual drain taps so you can do a complete evac for a nutrient change. Otherwise yoo always have nutrient in the pipes no matter what. Nice setup though.

Love the video. Thank you for sharing. Hydroponics is such a great way to grow. If I could add my two cents, and you probably already know this, but you'll have to paint the tubes a dark color to prevent algae from taking over. It'll rob the water of oxygen if you let it.

Thank you very much, you are right, the best to paint the tubes.
Using Tapcons for the wall would be a more secure than plastic drywall plugs, as those usually break under any sort of strain. They also don't bite into concrete very well. Tapcons literally tap the concrete like tap and die tools, and will hold a great deal of weight.
Also, drain plugs with screw caps in the bottom of each of those would allow for drainage and cleaning so they can be used for longer periods. Water, no matter how clean, gets slimy. If you start getting root rot (and even if you don't), it's a good idea to have 35% strength food grade hydrogen peroxide on hand to add to the water (make sure to mix very well in your water solution, and only use the recommended amount). It's used to clean veggie bins at supermarkets and such. However, be very, very careful with it. It will give you white spots on your skin because it's caustic/corrosive at that strength. Even the first aid stuff isn't something to use a lot, because it eats scar tissue.

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Just make sure the roots don't clog the water flow too much
@@dingdongchingchong8659 how would you resolve the problem if it started to clock? Would you have to cut the roots? I think that would injure it?
@@waltermclean6212 Nah, it should be okay as long as you don't cut all of it. It should continue to grow roots, just like pruning, but on the roots. Just don't go nuts and shave the entire root system.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!
There seems to be very little flow rate. When you show the plant roots, they seem to be sitting in quite deep water. Isn't it better to have them sat in very little water, and to have it flowing over the roots to give an even distribution of nutrients, and maybe to tilt the pvc rows so the water is running downhill at a quicker rate?
Hi there!
You don't have to worry as long as there is dissolved oxygen in the water.
Hope this is a Sensible Question. I have noticed a few comments regarding Oxygen Content in the Water. Would a “Bubbler Stone”, the same as those used in Fresh Water Fish Tanks, be of any benefit??
Thanks for the video. Your detailed description is very instructive. Questions: 1) why are the openings of the bush reducers turned up and not down? 2) How often do you run the pump to water the plants? Thank you.
Very informative video! I live in a city in India, so not sure what plants might be good (temps of 41 C in summer, around 20 C in winter). Could you share any links you used as reference for the nutrient concentrations, flow rate calculations?
Also, would be good if you can share how much the entire system cost you to build. If you can give a breakup of the cost, that'd be even better!
Hi there !
The system cost me around 50 USD , it's depends on the prices on your place , you can screen shot the things and go at your local hardware store and ask about the prices , so you know how much will cost you , ( that's how I always do )
I really don't know what plants can grow at your place , Normal hot plants like cucumber , watermelon , tomatoes ...
The flow rate I run my pump 30 min and off 30 min (using timer )
Off at night ,
The nutrition I use Hydroponic liquid fertilizer .
Thank you.
Tomato , cucumber and melons need vertical or horizontal space which is not enough in the shown plan. Tomatoes need vertical supports and trimming to be done frequently forget breathing space.
Grow plants that need a lot of water like salad greens at first. then do trials with other plants.
Did you got chance to calculate the expense for building like yhe one presented in India?
Hey, did you try this to build??. How much does it cost you??. Where do you live in india??. Even i am Indian.
Great video, thanks a lot for sharing in such detailed way. I'm gonna make my first hydroponics garden following your inspiration!
you're welcome.
thanks
OST killed me at 5 minutes((((
I would want to try. Tnx for this video ❤
They look great if tou ad a enzyme product to the res it will it and rot that form on the roots I notice a little bit when ypu where pulling out the roots
Solves my problem only thing I would change is putting it in a closeable tote and add a toilet float so the water level would self maintain itself. I'm gonna try it thanks man.....
Welcome all the best.
Thank you for taking the time to share this! Going to be starting a aquaponics farm soon!
Hi there ! You're welcome
Are you going to use this tubes for aquaponics ! Make sure to filter the water before go to the growing tubes.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB I will have to draw out how the physical structure will look like and to see what is more efficient for the most yield. I will definitely filter the water out, thank you!!
Great job looks good How often do you run the pump? I have a similar setup and I only run my pump for 15 min every 8 hrs to top off the tubes. Kind of using mine like a Kratky system. And my tube are level so I always have just over an 1" of nutrient in it.
The video was very informative and I loved some of the ideas which I am going to use.
Good work ❤. But how do we determine the quantity of water appropriate for the number of pipes used, more so that one may decide to extend the length of the pipes.
Thanks.
Very good video for beginner. Thank you.
you're welcome
Very good knowledge hydro phnexthanks
Great video... what are the brown balls you are putting in the bottom of the plant holder things?
clay pebbles.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB ah gotcha, thanks
What are you adding in with the plants?
i like it thanks you my friend bibi
Thanks for watching dear friend djou ❤️.
I have recently heard about incorporating electricity and copper wire to increase the growth of the plants. Electricity is a natural pest deterrent, too. I came here looking for that. Maybe you'll be able to research this too. And, I wouldn't have the pipes up against the wall like that, good luck.
Can you please tell me where you bought the UPVC pipe? I can't seem to find any thin walled UPVC anywhere like the one you show. Thanks.
Great video. Thank you. Just wondering where to get baskets to fit the size of the holes, 55 mm?
No need to reply. Found them.
I just saw your comment great to know you found them .
Thanks for demonstrating each step on Hydroponics.
welcome
Can it be attach to fence? My house sun rise in the front and setting in the back of my house. The only side that gets full sun is on the south side of the house
Ingenious, incredible…wow
Super ideas sir. 🎉😂
Wonderful. Along with samplings, what are those brown balls?
Clay pebbles
Awesome that. Very thorough video. Well done 👍
thank you
When tamping the couplers and parts together, use a piece of 2"x6" board. It will enable you to apply relatively even force to the entire circumference with each tamp.
Hey! Absolutely great, well presented video! Thank you.
thanks you're welcome.
Loved the video bro! Subscribed :D
thanks
Can you tell me what size pump I need to get? I’d like to see more installation of that. Video was great!
thnx, all the pump details i have mentioned in the video.
really want to try this, ? though, what are the brown round balls that you put into the cups with the plant to hold it up, TIA
clay pebbles
Can you do a video showing how and when u clean this system?? 😅ty ❤️
The power more then the plants 🪴
What are those brown balls you added to each pot? Also thank you very much this is awesome. I don't have a garden, but I can still set this up near the window. I have been growing mints, lots of spring onions and garlic. I want to start with ginger. It has been going fantastic.
thank you, the brown balls called clay pebbles
Since your inlet and discharge tubes are above a water line you might have considered individual drain taps so you can do a complete evac for a nutrient change. Otherwise yoo always have nutrient in the pipes no matter what. Nice setup though.
Awsome look nice. But think....hard to cleaning inside laster.
love that is a great job do you think this would work on a boat at sea
Yes Should work.as long got light and oxygen .
Hello what is the water volume you used for the system?
Great video Just what I've been looking for. will send feedback when I build in the spring Thx again
You're welcome.
good but, what is the solid thing you added lastly side to the plant root?
clay pebbles
Where did you get the end caps witn the holes?
Kare me kya rakhe ha and tank me kan sa liquid milaya ha
15:34 are they clay balls in cups?
Excellent content, thanks for sharing 💚🌍
yes , Clay pebbles . thanks
Really good, really good! Well done and thanks for sharing your work.
you're welcome
Does the pump run continuously? If so I might modify it with a small local solar panel for power.
you can use a timer 30 min on 30 min off ... solar panel is a great idea
I like that
Great job...like your video...
Where do you get these materials?
What are these small rock like structures u put in cups
Great clip, very informative . Can You give me the names and makes of the 2 digital tools for the ph and food plus pump info
Cheers Judy
hi there ..
you mean Ec and pH meters?.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB yes Thankyou
Hoffe man hours per day do you need to use the pump?
Good Job My Frend, Salam Hidroponik...
I'am From Indonesian...
Thanks for watching.
Does the system receives direct sun light or is always in the shade ???
this is fantastic, nice work. how many hours per day do you run the water pump?
thanks, 8 to 12 hours should be enough.
