Build a Hydroponics System Cheaply & Easily

[yatubeish]

To much wrong with this!! All I can say is " SHYTE"

[zombiesatemybud]

For growing the sticky green this system is bad, water culture will "drown" your plants. I suggest building an aeroponic system, much more efficient. Google it for plans. Otherwise good system

[FullbloomHydro]

I agree with MacGyver..

[Ozzey3]

lol f'n mcgyver lol thanks a long video for not much information, search for aquaponics and u come up with alot of information i dont usually post on things like this but i just felt that you wasted my time on this video and i would waste your time haveing you read this long ass comment on your long ass video

[Ozzey3]

lol f'n mcgyver lol

[totenkopf98k]

not a bad idea but i dont think its a good idea to use caulking,especially where the nutrient solution is,TOXIC!!! for you & plants just use the aquarium silicone its safe when dry.plus the styrofoam is chock full of bisphenal-a.i would just go with the tote bin system they work great and you can turn it into multiple systems at anytime and if you mess up take 5 bucks and grab another.hell,i found one last week in my dumpster lid & all,even clean! washed it anyway.happy ultraviolet dreams!!!

[boomanchu2]

@totenkopf98k

Blue board insulation is an extruded polystyrene. You're more likely to have Bisphenol-A in the plastic tote.

[nutrientmix]

Nice hydroponics setup! Indeed, that's something that is very practical and easy to build. I would also recommend using black containers or tanks so there will be no need to cover the tanks to make it light tight.

[danestevens]

or just go to a grow shop like cultim8.co.uk where the kit is cheap and they've got DIY bits.

[kickasskush]

why not just paint the tank black?

[rcacad]

Awww how cute. Im doin this aeroponic style for clones.

[darkpownage]

one question do u always keep the water at the bottom of the pot?

[jamesct22184]

whats the total cost to make this?

[king3e]

I dig the song, whats the title and artist?

[daniel1dgkpelletier]

the lid used in this video does it create any chemicals in the water?

[defendant420]

Just dont be a dumbass, grow enough so you don't have to buy your own and thats it.1 400 watt HPS will do a QP every 2 months, thats like a 1/2 oz a week.

[EconomyRebel]

Here is one way to stay out of the eye of the Johnny law. Keep your electric usage low without losing any power. by doing so the computer will not register your home as HIGH POWER USE and have someone drive by???

How do you do this get a product called SURGEXPRO

[altha2008]

does that include taxes LOL

[JositoBrown]

I want a pony

[altha2008]

like that commerical. you better read the find print.

You want a real pony

[Scornedbydeth]

would this actually work for growing the green?

[xkennyxxxXX]

yes

[TheGreenOne503]

Stupid video. The text is annoying and is covered up by the URL half the time. Ooh, now there's mood music. Okay, it's a slideshow...on a video site?!?!? Tard.

[raunchy1313]

can ne 1 tell me if this system works with strawberrys every thing i read about strawberrys says they should be in well drained soil

[cpflaumer]

So where is the fish?

[shakaama]

i was wondering that myself. where are the fish, where are the nutrients?

[Rogueshadow81492]

you're thinking of aquaponics

[shakaama]

plants need nutrients

[frackcha]

yes.. yes they do, that's why you put nutrients into the water, and maintain the correct PH so as not to lock out any of said nutrients :)

[S00P3R]

cant you just put tin foil around the tank instead? Or is that less efficient..

[beelzbub]

the only thing that matters is that light cannot enter at all, otherwise you can have growth in the tank that will damage roots and kill your plants. Foil works, it's just a pain in the ass to work with.

[thetrauma991]

cool dude

[sweetelesue]

won't there be some nasty chemicals leeching from the styro into the water which then enters the plants which you then eat? I would like to know of a diferent 'holder' that is all natural -- like a clay board or something?

[moistpanda16]

styrofoam doesntleak chemicals

why do you think they use it in soil

it absorbs water well

[profanitys]

i dont think it absorbs water well,

but it certainly makes the soil lighter for the plants

[jtrubilla]

Styrofoam, poster board, air filter, and ???

Why don't you not cover up the materials you need to make this thing with your web address? Doesn't it kinda defeat the whole purpose of the video?

[gwoogs]

so you just let the bubble stone do the work, no draining or anything?

[elitenoob1147]

yes u can u just need to do everything smaller

[Skaying]

Can you do the exact same thing but using a smaller water tank?

[killler73]

Just get a can of Kiltz primer and paint the tank, tape a strip before painting so you will have a "peep hole".

[allWeNeedIsAWideR]

yo i just went 2 the website nd they said u dont need 2 use soil, is dis true cause i hav a boner if yes, is dis better method then usin soil,

[atvjoel17]

no soil, you have to get hydroton clay rocks

[kelly2000398]

i have the pump and bubble stone .. ive had them in my room for ever guess its time to use them

were do i get the tubeing??

[nectarineblue]

if growing things like lettuce you can cut the cost by putting little holes all over the styrofoam and inserting cotton balls with a lettuce seed in them. and instead of the fish tank and stuff to cover the sides one can get a rubber maid container. I have to give this video and extra star because it doesnt claim to be aeroponics.. this more of a water culture system.. and works great for plants that love lots of water, those that dont like alot of water can suffer...

[thexsaint75]

You can buy air stones at most pet stores petco or petsmart or even walmart.

[JacobSSIlvestri]

What does the check valve do? And where can i buy bubble stone?

[mgapro]

thanks! your comments and your vid helped me alot!

[mgapro]

Thanks!

[818playain714]

that typing is a real fuckin high kill

[tmomof6]

This is kinda silly. This person had way to much time on their hands & no need for the plants. What were the plants anyway? What happens when try this with a toll heavy plant? Tomatoes start cute & tiny but will not work here, its a parsley planter, hahahaha

[gurudocman]

how do the plants support themselves? I mean wont they just sink into the water and drown? do you put like a mesh net underneath

[InKa4484]

usually use rock wool.

[InKa4484]

In this they use gravel the roots grab the gravel for stability.

[cycosteve2006]

can i use a rubber maid tote...so i don't have to mcgaver the fuck'n fish tank?...i think the tote's are cheaper?

[ycats1000]

lol hey macgyver...

use a plastic bin with a lid, then oyu only have to cut holes in the lid to put the plabts in-

that way the whole fishtank and foam shit

can stay in the shop, and you can grow your own stuff without toxic chemicals-

[sasway]

hilarious answer....hahahah @cycosteve2006

[chels124]

@cycosteve2006 the totes are not 100% light proof.

[dwiggs77]

N.F.G.

[remi422]

gravel would not work to good cause it would cut the roots but lime stone would work great

[brevvton]

fuck this piece of shit

[unsungjo]

Why light tight?

[Cristian1337]

We don't want to grow Algae,

[NWforager]

then again I've seen these(aquaponic)systems that arent light-tight with fish in the bottom. I wonder...

[brizzols07]

does it need some kind of liquid nutriens or someting to be abel to grow. and maybe a light on top only.

[NWforager]

light is also Not good for naked roots.=D

[duck7759]

k now i got a question wouldn't a cooler be better then a fish tank because its easier to empty because all you got to do is take the cap off at the bottom and all the water leaves the tank.

[remi422]

with a fish tank and filter it would going in come out so a fish tank would be the best

[NWforager]

didnt understand that answer REMIL. a storage container or cooler are lighttight. the plants are Always in water. Is this good? I'm gonna try Ray Schneider from GrowingEdges*com wick system. No pumps needed.

[DSB1234567890]

This is a floating garden. It's easy but only basil and salad like it, other plants do not like to have their roots constantly underwater. The system that works for the most types of plants is an ebb and flow system (google it) Another option is to have the nutrient solution slowly get pumped throught the plant pots filled with non-absorbing medium, and then fall back into the resevoir, but still this might be too wet for some plants. The ebb and flow is most versatile but also more complicated.

[eslrsolar]

It's much easier to just buy an Aerogarden and the results are way better.

[monkis50]

wont they grow too tall for the aerogarden though?

[NWforager]

gonna hack my aerogarden with an extended light cord. Then put the light on some shelf brackets and just move the light and brackets up and the plant grows. buildeazy*com/shelf_bracket_ch­annel*gif

[fayik123]

i have had problem doing hydro with ghe flora 3 part nutrients. Are the standard application rates to weak for this stuff. I havn't got a ppm eccc meter. I haven't bothered checking ph at all ever just changed the nutirents weekly. MY leaves have started turning brown and dry at the tips and various locations. what could this be. I have herd the one part nutirents have produced morew reliable results as they are mixed profesionally and hoem equipment is too costy to mis well

[jj21mon]

next time do a video not a slide show....this is not as informative as ya think it is....i know what your sayin because i have some experience with dro systems but a beginner could not easily follow these instructions and build a dro system...good effort tho...

Over Grow!

[007spliffy]

what aload of shit

[kepfingered]

i think we need a little more info than that!!!maybe a little operation instruction rather than 1min on protective equip your not building a sand blaster!!

[DJsnow187]

Allright look guys ive been looking on how to build a hydroponics system and the fact is that I can find anything on here or any where else so fuck this shit im buying a real one.AIm so fucking pissed of!!!!!

[poopshooter720]

tomatoes all year round

[abraxnos]

dumb

[eslrsolar]

Just get an Aerogarden. It's must easier, looks much nicer, and produces better.

[atrumblood]

the aerogarden is expensive, and requires special refill pods to grow. I would much rather build my own, for about 30 bucks, than spend 100 on something that requires you to buy their refill pods.

[xxGAMEBREDxx]

Think I'd have saved some time and just spray painted the glass with some black paint.

[DJsnow187]

Yea no shit and I dont want to grow tomatoes lol

[poppabear42330]

Cost cutter idea's. Instead of $40 for a tank buy a large tote in a dark color ad then then wrap foil around it holding it with duct tape.

[420Sheffield420]

ugh last time i checked hydroponics dont need DIRT bud. check ur facts

[poppabear42330]

What dirt?

[blazingsmith]

it's technically not hydroponics because you used dirt in the pots, and therefore destroyed the concept...

[poppabear42330]

He use gravel and filter material. I did not see him use dirt in the system.

[w00t420]

Great way to grow some killer bud :)

[newgrower420]

do u have to set up a different system to grow it so it has roots to put in the aeroponics?

[NWOkillininthenameof]

what about the nutrients!!!??? and PH ?? check out worms way its like a candy store mmmmm guano

[adamwitte]

it said how to build a hydroponics system; it didn't say the video was how to operate it :)

[Balldez]

Are the roots in the solution or are they misted by the bubbler?

[K2Tanner]

I learned about this at school today.

[oOSamuraiOo]

10g tanks are 10 bucks now adays

[poppabear42330]

Totes are cheaper and more durable.

[grenthum]

Thanks for sharing this video, I found it through a search for gardening!

[UKBB]

Why not just use a container that is already light tight?

[guarami1]

It would have ruined the first 2 minutes if it were already light tight. ;'

[dickie414]

so... would have saved me 20 mins wrappin the damn thing when i build it!!!

[Vyuyu]

its a DWC system (deep water cult.)

[am408]

Has anyone grown TickleMe Plants using hydroponics?

ticklemeplantcom

[mathuv]

thats....aeroponics, basically the pump makes the water bubble nd keep the roots moist, still its good for lazy people

[mathuv]

AH! my mistake. its NOT aeroponics, its just a crude hydroponics system. aeroponics just basically constantly sprays (unless set with a timer) the roots with water utilizing a water pump and misters/spreaders.

[antidartan]

were do you keep your ph level? "Ihaterpublicans69" That handle probably reflects your intelligence.

[soumonism]

because clearly there could be no intelligent person that doesnt agree with republicans.

[sellis79]

that's aeroponics, not hydroponics isn't it? Probably a dumb question.

[IHateRepublicans69]

Why use a glass aquarium then cover it? Just user a 5 gallon bucket ( that held food product, never toxic material like adhesive or paint ) and paint light tight with Fusion paint.

[angrygunsmith]

ye what sorta plants gro without nutrients???? and how shood i put em in??? that wasnt covered now was it????

[jdmramon]

thats pretty impressive, what sort of plants grow without any nutrients though?

[quickflickfan]

Thanks for the tip on how to make one so easy

[lover90210]

yo this was boring it went so slow i prably wouldn't not have watched this if i was not high

[SayJanosz]

hahaha yeahh
