Happy Hydroponicing! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
the mcgyver of hydro never ceases to amaze me
Fuck the fact you’ve now lifted that float valve up higher so it has more adjustment is a game changer!
As a mechanical engineer, I can totally appreciate the simplicity of your design! I can't wait to incorporate something like this in my space! Cheers!!
I love that your in the southern hemisphere because this gives me plenty of time to plan my garden better in the northern hemisphere.
Awesome alternatives to 3D printing! Thanks Hooch!!
Thanks again Hoocho. As an old builder, please use ear muffs and goggles with power tools especially when cutting plastic and metal. Once your hearing or eye is damaged it will not come back!
This is the one I've been waiting for! Love the RGGS method. No 3D printer access in Tasmania has had me looking through un-named hardware stores for ages to try and look for makeshift options for spikes, who knew they were there in front of us all this time, just waiting to be cut out hahaha Excellent work!
“The spikes are in the pipe” 🤣
Thank you for coming up with this for those of us that don’t have 3d printers! Awesome ideas always!
Thanks for this. I do not have access to a 3d printer. Helps a lot having a solution that does not need 3d printers.
Looking great Mr Hooch , hope youre doing well
In Australia we call this “Advanced Manufacturing” . Hooches FTW 🙌
Hi Hoocho, why not cut each spike both waysalong the gutter leaving a centimetre of uncut pipe, and then fold both up together making one spike. Like a folding ladder. The wick will then fold over both sides into the gutter. Should be stronger, neater and more effective. I don't know how to send a pic. Hopefully you get the gist of it. Cheers Russ
You might be able to soften the spikes then use a piece of tubing to mold them into a stronger structure. Awesome work mang!
I was thinking, maybe have two spikes back to back and melt them together for more rigidity and better fixation into the grow bags.
Growspike is still a great option imo. Love how you keep making hydroponics more accessible then the last time!
This is awesome, as someone who doesn’t have a 3d printer ( yet - hopefully in future ) this is great. All your info is amazing, you truly are the MacGyver of hydroponics . Cheers mate
love your inventions keep on inventing, i so get your excitement on finding these things out as you go, genius
Strength to strength mate.
Great innovation!
A beautiful and elegant solution to what was already a fantastic system. This deserves a lot more attention.
Oh my God, this is the one. I've been looking for a simple low cost system to use in our new small garden that my husband won't automatically say costs too much. We have all the tools. Now just time to grow! Thank you! New subscriber.
you are the greatest for innovations, mate
"Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler" ... This is a 10 out of 10 - Excellent!
Once a solution is achieved, another problem usually arises, and the cycle starts again. - so now...... on to the float valve :ø)
Insight is the sudden aha! solution to a problem, the birth of a new idea to simplify a complex situation. Thanks for sharing and caring.
I went and bought some downpipe and the second the store employee said "no its downpipe, why would you want to block the ends" it clicked for me.
Tradies have a single use for downpipe, and tradies are who the DIY stores serve. I really love your solution though, saves me 3d printing end caps.
The timing of this is so perfect! I have been pretty close to making a decision about how to go about a vertical tower- buy a 3d printer, buy premade, or source all pieces…and I was driving myself nuts. This is more accessible and I just so happened to buy a heat gun last week. Thank you!
You can do a double spike, fold up to meet eachother and the wick can be looped thru to hold them together. that way they will stay upright and be more rigid.
pretty impressive that you came up with such a simple design that revolutionizes hydroponics!
Short lengths of 20mm PVC pipe with the end heated and wedged could do the same thing, the drill a few holes for wicks. It might be a little more robust that the thin wall gutter or pipe which ever you use.
This is possibly the best hydroponic channel I've come across. Thank you mate.
There are so many ways to adapt and use that system
finally a system for the low income people...thank you so much for doing the system cheap...
This version looks great! It’s especially exciting to see you exploit folding techniques. I think you might like to learn much more on the subject. Renowned mathematician David Huffman explored folding as a hobby and if you look up his folding stuff you’d be amazed. Check out his collection at the MIT museum online.
You are a legend bloke, love your work
Had an idea to make it even cheaper possibly?
If you grew large diameter Bamboo, and smaller Diameter Bamboo.
You could use the larger one as the rain gutter, and the smaller one as your grow spike.(cut in half, sharpen it and put holes for wicks)
valve light cover(another bamboo piece cut in half should work)
Then you could grow your own system, all you need is the valve
How would you seal the ends of the larger diameter bamboo?
*Simplest ideas are the best ideas*
Clever man! Love the wick spike idea!
Love to watch the joy you're clearly getting from your inventions. Top content, too, thanks heaps!
Great job for promoting minimalism in hydroponicing...I love it.❤
You should be pleased with yourself with that spike system , well done , take a bow sir .
Another means for a dirt cheap wick could be a cotton mop , inexpensive and readily available . Keep up the good work , definitely headed in the right direction . Much love Hoocho from uk 🇬🇧
Mate this is Gangster! Love your work, Thanks for sharing, so simple 👍
Honcho you might be a Aussie but you have one of the most helpful and informative gardening channels on TH-cam keep it up❤❤❤
.......but (?????? wtf)
This is pure genius! Thanks Hoocho!
So much fun! Love the simplicity and efficiency of design. Can’t wait to try it.
Frikken hell Mitch, bloody genius, keeping it simple ftw!
I am so flabbergasted! Cant believe i didn't think of that! Brilliant!😊
You create my favorite hydroponic content. Never stop inventing.
I really love it, when you are exited about your ideas (which excite me as well) so go on its so cool 👍 and thank you, next year will be my big hydroponic year!
I just scored three 4mt lengths of rectangular down pipe from the recycling shop at our local waste management depot for $10.00 total! Woohoo I’m joining the club at last.
I could even see this as a tiered system tying two or more together even with different levels, but with different levels, additional float valves would be needed. This is a really cool idea. I could totally feel your excitement and agree. I can't wait to try this when I move back to the states.
Well, you got me excited. I already have most of the materials lying around, Except for the wicking. A great improvement cost-wise.Looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for sharing..........................>
This is a huge step forward for this system!!! Thank you for continuing to think about how to simplify this system to make it more accessible
Great work! Obviously a Ryobi fan.... Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing all your hard work and knowledge with us. I have never done hydroponics before and I am really excited to try this in the coming year.
Ingenious. I learned something useful today !! Thx. Champion ....
Love watching you constantly improve your designs, and better yet, sharing your ideas with us all. Love it.
Very Impressive Hooch! My towers follow a similar melt-and-mend structure to save on no net pots or PVC addons. I wouldn't say your grow stick is obsolete though! I am actually printing out your spikes as we speak, and I know here in southern California, lots of bugs love any source of water they can find, and since these are directly on the ground, that large opening is a good opportunity for them to get inside the gutter and clog or just plain multiple and then go for your delicious crops! Still, very crafty and definitely works for people who don't have access to a 3d printer!
On just a second thought, a small insect screen with a few small staples or silicone caulking would likely remove any chance of pests getting into the system
Absolutely ingenuous!
Hello from Germany here. In our home improvement stores any downpipes and raingutters seem to be round, not rectangular. You mentioned "versions of this that are used in fence posts". Can you, by any chance, point me to where you've seen this? Cheers and thanks for the engineering work!
You should be pretty pleased with your self. Good work bud, i love it.
I don't know which is better, the idea or the video. I love watching you work out your ideas and your reactions to the success. Keep up the good work.
This is brilliant. I can't wait to see the progress.
I've been watching for a couple years now. It's been great watching you come full circle with a remake of the RGGS concept. Nice job!
In sweden, those pipes can be found at "biltema" as ventiltion pipes
Legend Mate can't wait to build one of your Genius Ideas the world needs more positive. thinkers like your self moving forward. Nicholas South Africa nice one Mate
Love how excited he gets. Wealth of info. Keep up the good work.
I've been trying to figure out a cheap spike but this is just pure genius. And sharing it makes you really great.
Mate looks like you might be in Qld. Every think about doing workshops?
Thanks for doing all the thinking for us. I also melted the end of the gutter, but your way of folding it up makes it less leakable. No end caps is a great method.
I cut 2 slits at the bottom of my 7-gallon (26-liter) fabric grow bags. I feed worn socks through them as the wicks. It's a tad bit more work, but I think it should do as well.
Mate, you should be pleased with yourself - most important of all you've shared it all for free, this helps homesteaders across the world.
this is an awesome sytem!
This guy 😂 got me doing all kinds of builds. Love it!! Great job Hoocho🌱💚
thanks for the great research and videos. got inspired by your wick system and i made using just 1/2 inch pvc pipes.
I am adapting your system to parts available in Germany. We don‘t have those rectangular raingutters but we have pipes with good rubber seals. I am going for 6 m length.
Thank you quick and easy looks great😊
Awesome. Where was this video 3 months ago when I built my Rain Gutter Grow system MK1
Wow.. ingenuity at its best
I love this idea. I'm also using the downpipes as cheap hydroponic containers and they are superb. I've also been using a wooden frame to anchor the plastic as I heat it, but in addition I've shaped the template with 45 degree angles so that only the part of the pipe I intend to bend is being heated. This makes it easier to bend to shape as the rest of plastic remains firm, then I use a damp cloth to quickly cool the edges as I hold it in place.
I love this channel, thank you for all the work you put into your videos. It's only because of your excellent tutorials that I had the confidence to make a start with hydroponics.
You should be proud. This is so excellent.
there are float switches that attached to the outside of the tank, it will make the installation prettier
Thanks for the awesome view.... Your videos are very fun to watch and get ideas to use in my hydroponic garden too !!!
First time watching. Very impressive. Better than most TH-cam authors. The only problem I have is using Teflon tape on plastic threads. The manufacturer recommends using thread sealant and never tape. But in the real world situations with small pipes it doesn’t matter. If you go to 2 inch pipe it’s an absolute no no. It will fail and deform.
Brilliant brother, your contributions to hydro are next level. Thank you Dr. Hoocho.
Great work mate.
Personally think Id stick with the 3d printed spikes, for replacement/breakage and customization for different spikes. Great alternative for those without access to a printer or injection molding though.
Very cleaver ideas here !
Thanks a lot for sharing
Nice 1 Mr Hoocho. A great amalgamation of great ideas
Such an amazing and creative idea! Thank you!!
I improved your project, installed a small tank with toilet valve control, to reduce the pressure and you can always add fertilizer into it...😊
I really think you have outdone yourself this time Hoocho Thanks for getting me and everyone into this method of growing :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks, really great idea!
Well done mate, I'm looking forward into making these for a new system myself.
God Bless and God Speed
That’s really a great idea
Thank you brother
Thank you for sharing ❤
We can only get a 65mm square PVC pipe in Ireland. I assume this will work as float valve I can get is 47.5mm wide? Just need to support the bags a bit wider. Thanks for putting this video together as I couldn't have built your previous system with endcaps and spikes 😁
wow wow, so obtainable for new growers like me. Thank you!!!!
Nicely done!
Super idias hoocho I like very much
Nice work!!
Love the channel. Great delivery, good information, constant innovation. One request, please for the love of all that is holy, place a reference into the music you use on your time lapses. I have been going nuts looking for some of these tunes trying to find the background music. Thanks bud.

It’s all from the one album
You da man, spreadin knowledge like an oracle@@Hoocho
Brilliant! Thank you!
top marks on this one mate . I am off to bunnings for some pipes what a brilliant idea to cut out the 3D printing and open your idea to the larger market not everyone has a 3D printers. BBRAVO BRILLIANT!
