Constructing Your Hydroponic Growing Tower HydroHarvest Farm

very good your video , nice . thank

[altha2008]

wander if you can grow peas, butter beans, and other veggies like this

[saeidmomtahan]

Like many other comments, I am a little confused as to what happens to the nutrient solution once it reaches the bottom reservoir. Does it just sit there and evaporate? Where is the recirculating system in this?

Everything else is great, but this point confuses me here.

Great video though. thanks for posting

hydro has its complications for edible plants as you always have to plan for flushing so before you consume what you eat it must of been fed on plain water for at least a few days or it can taste bitter. in soil this is alot easier to plant as you are not feeding everyday but in hydro it requires more thought. This one issue i am finding problematic for edible plants like basil where its nice to pick when you need it. i need more information about flushing periods. some ppl dont even care

[oPickful]

The problems I see with this system are:

1- Excessive water evaporation

2- Possibility of water leaking out of the bottom reservoir

3- 2 tanks instead of one

4- Algae build up due to the rectangular reservoir not being covered

why have two resevoirs? why not just one?

[OMGlab]

Exactly what supplies do I need to make the drip irrigation system as described here? What sorts of capillary lines, tools and tubing will I need, and where can I buy them?

What kind of stacking pots are used in the systems in the background? Are the custom made or can I buy them somewhere?

Amazing video! Thank you very much!!

owner should eat sum of his product heh =)

[chaizuk]

it's made of Styrofoam! EVIL!!!!

You can use any color electrical strap you want. Orange, maybe? Or how about blue?

Great how-to video! This vertical farming setup is really an amazing way to maximize space while making sure that your hydroponics plants are growing at their finest.

[dotalessons]

This system seems excessively wasteful and really does not afford some of the benefits hydroponics is supposed to have:

1) A lot of water is lost to evaporation.

2) The plants are not constantly being fed and watered, which would require a medium that retains a great deal of water if you only water it 3 times a day.

3) The wasted nutrient solution will drastically increase the operating cost on the unit or if it is recycled manually there will be lots of algae growth, bugs, and pathogens...

Hi, good video, i have a question if you dont mind, how many towers can a single pump run?

Thanks

[easemailbox]

Yes this stack system is ideal for many varietys. However with yoru system what do you do about evaporation from the bottom reservoiur? and what do you do about recycling the liquid or does it just go to waste?

[MitzvahMom]

@easemailbox

I've never noticed any run-off from the lower pots.

[waylain88]

what model our where i can buy the same timer? thanks

[linwood2k]

help help help please how to get rid of spider mites on your plant

[manchester26m]

@linwood2k Use a spray containing abamectin. They also dont like chilli pepper spray and nicotine.

[NexusRebellion]

Uhhh.. yes, that is what it is.

[ATXtech]

Ah I didn't realize you put root veggies in that bottom pot. That's really cool. Great vid.

[ATXtech]

Is this a run to waste system? Or what do you do with the nutrient solution once it runs out the bottom?

I really dig the vertical setup, nice space saving idea for smaller plants.

[MitzvahMom]

The runoff just goes into the pot at the bottom, nurturing the root vegetables.

[easemailbox]

@MitzvahMom Yes this stack system is ideal for many varietys. However with yoru system what do you do about evaporation from the bottom resevouir? and what do you do about recycling the liquid or does it just go to waste? As you know nutrient waste is a big overhead cost.

You say the nutrients just go into the pot at the bottom. However its capacity is not infinite and would overflow or evap[orate away causing a concentrated solution. Do you not recycle the nutrients and check their suitability?

@MitzvahMom Let me guess your a jew!

[altha2008]

@MyWillyboi Let me guess, you are a conservative who blames jews for all your Failures.

Oh, I'm a christian. do not forget Jesus was or is one as well

[Zancett]

Great video, any thoughts on a complete circulating system?

[msritapita]

what is a growing media

[TheHealingCannabis]

something other than soil for roots to cling to

[NOSMOJEFF]

Good video interesting and good space safer.

Just a note: Using GFI might be a good idea since your working with water "outside" using electrical cords, I know because a GFI outlet save my life that way ;)

[MitzvahMom]

Thanks for the tip!!!

This helps me a lot to understand hydroponocs
