This is ridiculously well done. Love this guy.
I'm curious how this turned out. It would be cool to see an update video of how it's working or if you had to make any changes✌️
Посмотрел процесс постройки гидропонной системы и подписался на ваш канал! Жду продолжения с выращиванием растений в этой установке. Успехов вам и пожалуйста, выкладывайте видео чаще, ведь вы делаете замечательную работу, которую должны увидеть больше людей.
I thought this was a really good video, hydraponics is something I'm looking into and this has given me some great ideas. On a side note as a wood worker I will never use sand paper again, just scratch it on a rock. Brilliant. 👍👽
The outside tube of the cooler for the water level & testing was itself worth the video. Great tip, thank for that.
Crazy I was using this system 15 years ago.
It works awesome. I was in the desert so it worked out
20:35 is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Italy!
Thank you so much! Im setting up my system and was looking for how to video to see what all i need ed d. This was perfect. Subscribed!
This is almost a perfect built for DWC, would add some aeration to the system + allowing yourself to drain the buckets in place vs moving anything. I don’t see how you can empty those weekly. If the drains were on the bottom but added shut off valves to each drain you can run it as a DWC system and turn your drainage system into a weekly used thing when you cycle the water out. Deff appreciated the video and ideas to go off of!
Awesome system, love the quick disconnect idea, also the individual shut off valve for each bucket. I'll have to keep that in mind. New sub.
I wanna a say thanks to you from bottom of my heart.
Explained very well.
Good luck to you
Appreciate the thanks, the hardest part is the filming and editing. Everything takes 10 times longer but hopefully it helps a few people. We all are trying to learn in life!
Thanks for your very good setup. I learned a lot from your work, it's very clean work.
Very thorough and nice explanations/demonstration, thanks!
Cool stuff and very educational when it comes to simple and cost effective handyman style setting up the dutch bucket system that will work for home farm.
LOVED this video! Just curious if you would/ could post an update with how your greenhouse setup is functioning now? Any repairs or maintenance it has needed, how well it has functioned, and what you have learned about what has grown best?
Thank you very very much for sharing your wonderful ideas.
I just got green house so that help’s me for setting up Dutch bucket systems thank you again top job.👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful..... Nice precision with lots of hardwork. Thank you
Thank you!
The system looks clean, practical and operational hope you present the end results with the crop on it.
Best video I've seen and a lot more than what i was looking for, thank you and please keep the videos coming 😊
screwdriver to uniseal? shoving it in with the pipe... i dont know...
A lot more accurate than I had an idea for thank you
Great job! I’m very thankful for the details and explanations as it lets me know the why behind each detail. Thank you!
Lllli p
Awesome video and well made. I also have a 10x12 Greenhouse and we are in the planning stage on how to utilize the area for the best grow.
You rock for this one bro.. Thanks for making life easier for the rest of us. 💪🏾📍
ive watched alot of videos on hydro ponics,dutch buckets ,but this is the neatest proffessional set up ive seen today. bravo brother someone whom cares about the details yr set up is nice and tidy like mine. great minds think alike. enjoy yr kiddos helpin to brother,got ta start em young and give them that connection with dad and his skill sets. so bravo brother bravo. im now yr life long subascriber!
Well done bro. Thoroughly Enjoyed your tutorial, Great that the kids were helping out, dogs barking in the background, very nice home environment. I’m gonna give it a go, try with a greenhouse first then the system✨
Sounds like a good time!
Very well done. Thank you for sharing.
This is by far the best hydroponics setup I have seen. Everything is so well organized, clean and just beautiful. Love it…. Great 👍 job.
Good speed up, clear narration good job
Best video out about Dutch buckets
I'll gonna try it at home. Thank you for sharing brother.
That was awesome. Love this set up.
Nice Job! I wanted to keep my water levels higher, but most growers don't subscribe to that method. Hopefully, you will have great luck with it. Great thinking on anticipating issues later. Instead of perlite, it will be fertilized solution with root microbes to increase uptake of nutrients. The idea being to get production earlier to have a longer growing season. We get too much heat here in Kansas City, so mine will need to be an enclosed building for controlled climate. The section requiring bees for pollination will be screened in.
Good job. Nice setup. You will also need a filter for the pump
Fantastic video, thanks so much for posting.
Super clean!! Nice work.
New to your Channel , New Sub , I like how your so thorough in showing and explaining the whys and how it all works .Im a newbie .......just started in small small systems myself . Appreciate this knowledge very much ! Great work
Ausome hidroponyc system, really fantastic.. Well done bro
You are gonna have to figure out how to keep the solution cool. It will heat up and kill your plants. Some people bury the reservoir to do it. You could also implement a float valve to keep the level full automatically. Another geeky idea for redundancy would be to use a TEE and another pump. Good build, great instructional video!
Very good video. Good work, thanks.
Thank you for your time sir 👍🏽
Thank you for the 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for that great work.
Thank you for the great information.
This is such a good teaching video, but you've left us hanging. How did this system preform? Was it successful? I am sure it was. I hope you can make an update video. Thank you for this video.
Videos to come! The editing of everything is daunting!!! Keep following thanks for the nudge!!!
@@intohomesteading778 You can doooooooo eeeeet
I liked the video very Much. Encouraging. Waiting for the next part
Thank you for that idea always had trouble with the pump getting disconnected because of pulling to fix something else
Great video keep up the good work 👍
Really really nice to job and video. Really simplified what could have been complicated. Please do an update video of your results.
Well explained
I really enjoyed it
Love the stencil
satisfied looking at the process and the explanation that goes with all the joints. And most impressive is, you are very neat and tidy.
Great job
Nice clean set up mate..Air stones in each bucket would be a great add to really get movement and air into the root zone...
Very very good n nice. Thank you mmy dear.
Very good, IntoHomesteading, are you going to give a update soon??
I closely replicated this system. Had to insulate buckets, bury reservoir, and use shade cloth. My plants are greatly overperforming my soil growing friends.
Really neat system you put together there. First time watching you. I subbed... because I can see that perfectionist in you. (Like me) looking forward to the videos with tomato’s growing. Well be very interested to know what your feeding them
Great work!! I would love for you to give us video on this system if you needed to clean one of your buckets 🪣what you have to do with your system so it doesn’t get effected or if you needed to do work in resourvour add work add nutrients what is the process you have to do!! Looks nice and clean trying create similar system little smaller and tailored down so sorry for newb questions
Good video, TY
I look forward to seeing the plants growing in the system. I will be setting up a similar system for peppers.
Will do thanks for the nudge! Editing everything is always the long part! Stay tuned
Nice set up, gonna try this in my green house. Can I add you should make the water level pipe out of blue pipe to filter out the spectrum that grows algae, also spray the buckets and pipe white to help with temp of solution.
I thought that too regarding the tubs being black. It would literally boil the roots if it were here in Australia.
Nice job!!!
MOST EXCELLENT SIR !!!
Elite content !
very nice clean-cut system and great presentation. Going to subscribe your channel to see more video like this
Thanks and trying to take the time to film and edit is the hard part. Have so much more coming....
this was a pretty good video, teaches many on how to start up this system. I enjoyed this. hope to see the the plants growing. where about are you? I take it this greenhouse is heated. lets see some more, thank you.
Northern California, not heated bc our weather is pretty consistent. Its keeping it cool enough in the summer thats the trick. More to come! Thanks!
Powerful 💯I will buy materials and try
I like the way you explain, you are the best teacher ever. Great work.
Thanks family!
Nice clean build, but the roots having access to the air is beneficial for them. In running it as a DWC I'd recommend putting an air pump with each system.
I watched it in detail and you clearly put so much in this educational video but i don’t have this kind of budget. I spent 1/16 of money and time in another NFT and I had excellent results, as well. I don’t have the greenhouse, either.
So what?
@@cemb8751 do you want to save some money, or not?
To save confusion, black PVC pipe does not technically exist. It is black because it is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) pipe. It doesn't appear to be an issue with your build but just know that the two (PVC & ABS) cannot be joined together with the pipe cement that you recommend in your product list or with other cement. The two are mutually exclusive and PVC is typically used to feed a system where ABS is most often used for the waste side. BTW, awesome build and I loved the attention to the little things like thinking ahead and foreseeing issues and dealing with them beforehand.
There is a pvc to abs conversion cement that is easy to find where I am. I know pvc is safe, common fire use in drinking water supply but I was not sure how safe ABS would be
Thank you for the great info! Learning everyday!
That’s cool I like it
greattttt..nice share
Badass, Ironman I see you 🙌
Please give us an update or a how to plant them after everything is done. Thank you
Thank you so much
lovely content
You should definitely edit the audio levels..
Great build though, wish I had the space for this kinda setup!!
I have been thinking of doing something similar, but the outlet pipe half way down the bucket, sort of half kratkey method, also aerating the water in the main tank
Absolutely, i have another big DWC system and aeration is key for output. And definitely set up
Agreed. The water level to where your crops root system will do best. I found with a dutch bucket siphon system the pvc is more forgiving than cutting hole to shallow or too deep. If i shorten or lengthen then pvc in the buckets then i get what i need too!
Yes it helpfull and I like the system it is good.
A tedious procedure, but well done. Perhaps, add in some continuous zen-like focus music in the background and some better zooming in to see what's going on. Good luck with your future videos so we can watch the garden grow. I'd like to see how you put the greenhouse together. Thanks. Cheers !👩💻
I wish i could give a super mega Like to this video haha 😄
It's easier to install the grommet in the whole then feed the pvc in. Slope the main drain .25" per 2'
nice video!!
Does it seem to have equal pressur to each line im building a 12 bucket system like this and was worried about getting equal water to each bucket
Nice vid matey 👌👍 defo Gona come in handy this summer, I will be tuning in to all Ur vids matey good stuff and cheers 😉👍
I love that setup. Is that the Harbor Freight greenhouse? One correction though. You can't simply convert a deep water dutch bucket to a shallow water one just by adding an extension pipe down inside. The water level will still rise until it gets to the level of the hole.
You CAN convert a shallow level bucket to a deep water like you said, because the water will need to rise to the height of the new pipe inside. I think that's the way I'll go because it opens more options. I think those grommets are pretty leak proof once seated properly.
Looking great so far though.
yes that is what I was thinking also
last year I made a MHP style system with 4 gal cat liter buckets
this year I want to make another 10 bucket system ,but after taking all yea to collect 10 more buckets I don't want to drill the drain holes up high only to find out later
it doesn't work for me , I think I rather drill the holes the same height , about 2" up from the bottom and upturn the inside elbow add another piece of PVC inside to the desired height, I have seen people use another elbow at the top of the drain pile but I don't think it is needed ,or maybe it is to help prevent roots from growing down in there
I also do not want to use any air stones I was wondering if there are some nozzles that can attach to the end of the 1/4 tubing that will make a thin higher pressure stream to shoot into the water to make it aerate better
not sure if it would work or if it would been too much restriction for the pump though
Hey there ! Great work. Can you update us with the plant growth and yield in your system?
Yup yup Will do thanks for the nudge! Editing everything is always the long part! Stay tuned
Awsome work there cobber, very tidy, as the other commenter said, update us on your progress. Looking forward to seeing the system fully working. I wasn't that tidy with mine so I envy your system opposed to mine. Hope to hear from you bro. Cheers
Well said Obaid Khan
Really interesting....
how successful was this setup? I looked for follow up videos, but couldn't find any regarding your progress. It would be a great follow up video!
Nice, wouldn't hurt to have a air pump in the reservoir oxygenating the water as well.

Are you going to create NFT & DFT hydroponic content?
@@intohomesteading778
Hahaa..
I'm still a kid, uncle
New sub!!
Love the whisper "its leaking"...."i know"......haha
Hi, very informative with minute details explained. Congrats keep the good work going
I would love to see an update to this video
Possible to get an update on once the plants have been put in?
How did you stop the main drain pipe from overflowing with that many feeder lines coming out of each bucket?
your water level check in the coolers outake is leaking in the video, did you get it to stop? if so how?
