Every dang time I watch one of your videos my brain says the same thing, we gotta build that lol. Thanks for sharing Mitchell, cant wait to get this one knocked up, its just in time. I had to break down my indoor grow room because of aphids, was gonna set up NFT for lettuce, this will be perfect!
Great idea Hoochoo. The 50 x25 electrical duct is available at all electricians suppliers if not at Bunnings. Adjustable 4mm sprinkler heads are very cheap and can easily be adjusted to manage flow.
Wonder if empty tea bags could be used for holding the seed - as you only need media to keep the seed in place and potentially for support. Was thinking about your gelatin base but think a used cleaned tea bag could do the job....
For the ease of rearranging, I would do this with netcups, but still I love the simplicity. I am wondering if something like this NFT is doable with fogponics. 😉
We enjoyed your video and would like to try to build it. The problem we are having is that we live in the United States (Maine) and can't seem to find the PVC Electrical conduit that will ship to the US. Any suggestions on where we can order the materials? Thank you for your videos.
The PVC electrical “conduit” is actually called electrical trunking. The brand he is using is DETA in the video my guess for the dimensions are 25mm x 50mm. Anyways the brand won’t ship to the US and there isn’t really a viable substitute that I have found. I see people suggesting gutters but they don’t have top to stop algae growth and I have also seen people suggest electric raceways but they are generally way to small to fit a plant inside of. I was really disappointed after doing about an hour of research and finding out that I won’t be able to build this. Hopefully he will link the materials he uses in future videos to save us the time and anticipation just to be let down but I think the is a great idea and I love the channel. Cheers!😂
I think adjustability is important in a portable system like this maybe a bolt with a nut either side of the tote tip in several places would make adjusting easier
Hey idk if you answer questions, but what would be the best, preferably low cost setup for growing lettuce? I'd like to be a little more self-sustaining and grow some veggies starting with lettuce and there are so many options, nft, dwc, kratky. I'm leaning towards dwc but I appreciate nft as well I just don't know if it's too costly to setup. I'd hate to get something that ends up failing on me and have to spend money to replace too.
Start with kratky, it's easy and very effective for lettuce. 2" net cups and 36mm peet pellets placed in the lid of a storage container of 35 litres or so will work well for the whole grow, from sprouting to harvesting. You could also get a clear one of suitable size to use as a greenhouse cover.
Do you find that you’re able to start seeds directly into a NFT system? I’d like to start doing that with my rapid rooter NFT system but was always told to start them in plug trays until roots had formed on the bottom
As long as the media they are in stays moist it should be fine. I grow mine directly in the system from the start. But I'll note I don't have a normal NFT system. I have a custom built system that doesn't fall neatly in any one category. But as long as the media stays moist you should be alright. Try one plant, see how it goes. The beauty of hydroponics is the fun of experimenting
@@lukecarneal3227 I used 4inx4in square vinyl posts for my system, and they stay full of water with roughly 2-3 inches of flowing water. It's based off of Simple Green Hydroponics TH-cam channels system. I think it's more closely to a reciprocating deep water system? I guess that would be the best classification lol
@@lukecarneal3227 I use them exclusively lol I bought them in bulk on Amazon last year, I've had no issue with them but have never used anything else to compare with
I've been looking for the same for a while, I have yet to see anything similar, but if I do I'll come back and post it. I've searched every combo of search terms and haven't found anything similar

i need to find a reliable hydro supplier in california. its not that there are none, its just, there are too many and is difficult to find a reliable retailer that isnt just catering to marijuana growers.
Where in CA are you? I found a great hydro store in Dublin tray helped me put together a leafy greens ebb and flow system. Last time I was in the store they had a whole display of radishes growing.
interesting idea. way too dense. half as many holes at least. roots need room. also bottom leaves will yellow and die as we can see in your video. would like to see mark 2. NB I also found that nft does not really need a slope. it is a myth. reduce the density and you should get better results. Cheers
So many satisfying moments in this build

My " Go to " sight to learn " how to " ! This guy is a Genius !
Great idea Hoochoo.

I am watching nearly every Video you made and I can’t wait to start my first hydroponic system. Thank you so much.
I’ve actually done this too a few years back it worked like a dream for pennies 💯
Great idea! I'll look for those pvc electrical conduits. If not found, then the gutter downpipes should be a rough equivalent.
Wonder if empty tea bags could be used for holding the seed - as you only need media to keep the seed in place and potentially for support. Was thinking about your gelatin base but think a used cleaned tea bag could do the job....
Thats a brilliant idea !!! im going to test that !!
Great, NFTs have now entered the gardening game.
Is it possible to make a passive one? Instead of a pump, run a couple strips of wicking cord down the conduit and place seedlings over the top of it?
Thank you. Great video. And I absolutely love your sense of humor and laugh.
Hey HooCho fans don’t forget to Like and leave a Comment because that is what the algorithm recognises and helps keep him producing more episodes.
Can’t wait to play looks like it’s fun to make
Omg Hoocho! You’re a Genius! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video with us...definitely going to try this one :) Cheers from South Oz
This is a lot easier than I thought thank you so much
Hard work pays off Cheers!
Excellent! Idea. Thanks for sharing!

Look up “ Panduit raceway “, it’s used for dressing up fiber, power cables on racks. Maybe your local electrical warehouse might carry it.
Use plastic gutters
I had to listen to someone correcting conduit to duct the whole video, awesome video aside from the additional commentary I got
So good as always

Brilliant as usual baddass
Can’t wait to get it
Awesome video mate
As always great ideas and fun builds.
I'm literally gonna make one lol. Really enjoy your content 🍻
Love you Hoocho
Good video. Very informative.
Thank you from your newest sub.
Ótimo trabalho 👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for this help
What is the diameter of the drill bit he used for the circles?
I might consider using PVC drain pipe, but PVC electrical conduit... I dunno. I don't think they would have bothered switching away from using lead.

how frequently do we have to change the nutrient solution??
where can i buy your hydrophonic Nutrians, i live in Tokyo.
Thinking about making only this system for mini-medium greens. Any thoughts about it?
Could this be built vertically? like mounted on a wall?
What reverse osmosis water filter do you recommend for home hydroponics?
I was trying to find something similar in my area and it talked about being halogen free. Do you know anything about that, like if that matters?

@@TheDLCIncluded sounds great! What about your system makes it not strictly nft? Just curious, thanks!

@@TheDLCIncluded cool. Have you used rapid rooters before? Or a similar product?

Nice one Hoocho
I hope the clowns at Bunnings are contributing to the Whisky Fund
Thanks for another great idea, love your work
What is NFT? Some kind of tube?
Hello Hoocho, I have an DWC&NFT System that I would like to show you. I have it in my apartment and is very simple. Take care my friend!
Thank you
I’m so building this one
Is the volume of this video a little low ?
A mini nft system.............I also could see a tower system too...........
Mini tower system? Brilliant idea
I’m having an impossible time trying to find “barbed offtakes”
Anyone have a USA product name or source for that conduit? Everything i can find similar looks domed top or clamshell opens on the side.
I've been looking for the same for a while, I have yet to see anything similar, but if I do I'll come back and post it. I've searched every combo of search terms and haven't found anything similar
I've searched a bunch, the equivalent in the USA seems to be call a "raceway".
I love it
E_zer to cut holes in the lid and drop baskets in the holes
Haha forgot NFT was also a hydro term😅
No tokens around here.
VeVe and Vegetables
Right 😆 I was so confused

I don't understand the need to use PVC. It's plastic not made for food.
I really wish there were more alternatives to PVC. I'm fairly trusting of a lot of plastics, but non-potable PVC is just sketchy as hell.
Nice beard.

That's pvc electrical duct not conduit dude
In the UK, this is known as trunking and can be sourced in various sizes.
interesting idea. way too dense. half as many holes at least. roots need room. also bottom leaves will yellow and die as we can see in your video. would like to see mark 2.

Woot, first comment!

Mention NFTs one more time, crypto boy 😅
I’m watching this whilst having a poo, life’s great right now ! 🫡
