  • Looks like u planted with stone or something can u use soil

  • @Rugs420

    No, soil would eventually be washed away. I usually use Hydroton (expanded clay aggregate) or Growstones (recycled glass product). I have also used Hydroton mixed with rockwool cubes - that works as well.  That was good question - thanks for asking!

  • how often do you have to change the water?

  • @smeightytwo

    Approximately every three weeks. Usually drain, fill with clean water then drain again then fill with new nutrient solution. I have gotten great results with this method.

  • Very informative for newbs!

    Thank you - I am glad you see some value in this simple system. I have done many experiments in hydroponics the past 30 years; so far, this is the easiest that works better than anything else I have used.

  • After hours of research, and many yet to go, just wanted to drop a note of appreciation for the simple, easy to understand, to-the point video. Happy hydro!

  • walmart has triple outlet air pumps for 5 bucks. run 3 bucket setups, with one pump.
