Im watching from Kingston, Jamaica. I'm absolutely mesmerized by this type of farming and will be doing it myself. Hopefully, to grow to a commercial scale. These videos really help.
Thank you from America for such an information packed video on the vegetable gardening program. I wish you guys all the best! Please continue to share your valuable experiences and knowledge with all of humanity worldwide!
Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸 Love your setup! Would love to see how you built it from the ground up! My husband and I are about to purchase a home 🏡 with some land and are looking to do this sort of thing along with raising animals. Thanks for sharing!
Soo good thank you to this bloke for sharing everything . I really appreciate it cheers from New Zealand . Thank you hoocho for showing me how easy hydro can be im only running kratky atm but plans have been made and the nft is going to be up shortly. You are doing a good thing well done!
🍻 cheers Hoocho, always got an eye out for quality companies to give all my 💸💰...we just need them to always be reachable and willing to assist customers, and to be stocking high quality products.
Great video! This gets me excited about what I could grow one day! I'd love to know more about the greenhouse, if you don't mind sharing. How is the greenhouse anchored to the ground? It looks like the bases sits on a concrete slab?
My dad sent me this as I wanna try my hands and markets with my NFT system. I'm still a newbie when it comes to the water part still. Good to know about the E.C. cuz I havnt been using it. My bok choy came out super bitter n I was clueless as to why
This channel is friggin amazing. Absolutely love it. I need to find an agronomist in Scotland to give me a little advice on a system I plan on building in a few months.
Yes Hoocho ! You need to sell the end caps and float covers. Get someone in China to mass produce them .. And then drop ship from China to us Hydro novices and Hydro market greenhouses
Hi There, can you tell me which farmers markets are they at? I’d like to go visit, I’m in the North of Brisbane and would like to do a day visit if possible. Never mind, it’s mentioned at the end. Thanks.
Hoocho, you have shown us many Hydroponic systems, but the purpose of your channel as you have said is to make Hydroponics affordable to everyone. If you take out pumps and electricity, that just leaves the passive systems. What has been your most successful passive system and what type of dry nutrients are you using and how do you mix it for say a 100 litre reservoir
Dang, I'm chill here, an I suddly hear 'prices in Australia' Now I'm really interested, been most vids I found are in USA, Micronesia, outside FB sharing pics, I have found little Oz vid info. Not even seen 'market' vids outside USA.
Hi Hoocho Great video you are very good teacher. Little question: The tips of the center leaves of my romaine lettuce are black. The EC is at 1.4 the PH is at 7 Es that it is the lack of ventilation. And if I wont to send you a picture is this possible. Because I think a photo worth 1000 words.
Hi Hoocho. I noticed htat you said the temperature inside the greenhouse is 30 degrees. How do you prevent lettuce to bolt at these temperatures?. As far as I have learnt lettuce grows best between 16-22 degrees and tends to bolt and get bitter at higher temperatures. Btw, I live on the South-wes tcoast of Norway.
btw you dont need to pump constantly there can be intervals like 15 minutes vor every hour or so. This way you can cut energy costs and not waste energy
Hey man, thanks a lot for your vdeos, it has been so hellpfull to watch them, i need to ask, how much water solution can i put to a 1000 lettuce plant?? in hydroponic system
Hoping you can help answer a question about the Greenhouse material. I'm looking at making a smaller residential one and was looking for that sort of opaque plastic. Looking on Amazon I really only come across Clear or White. Would yours be considered white?
Feeding your plants a soluble form of silica at the roots will also thicken the cell walls. I mix powdered leonardite up with silicon dioxide derived from diatoms and put under the mulch.
That is amazing. If I could find the land at an affordable price it wold be a dream to grow for markets in the UK. If anyone has a field or old industrial site going cheap in Bromley, Kent, get in touch.
I wouldn't sell out of the rain gutters or vinyl fencing pieces. Its made from soft plasterized vinyl which over time leaches out nasty stuff, over time. Use only Schedule 40 water pipe etc but NO no soft plasterized vinyl's. Per chemical engineers etc. Other wise nice set up and good ambitions to get away from all the chemicals and fungicides etc. Rain gutters and fence pieces were chosen awhile back by a particular You Tuber because of low costs and a single (not over time) water test that isn't correct in totaling the outcome for accurate water test. Everyone has copied using these unwise materials. Use only Hard solid Schedule 40 for your Hydroponics and listen to the experts. Thanks for sharing
hey there i am studying hydroponics and aquaponics to see if i can start a small rack for testing at home. can i ask if its better to do this indoor or outdoor ? do i really need a pump timer for this ? what other gadgets are required ? like PH level tester etc... thank you
If you package lettuce and other plants with the roots still attached from your NFT systems and they don’t sell, can you bring them back home from the farmers market and place them back in the NFT troughs and keep them going?
I’ve often through about the idea of a living food display, where you have an NFT like display fixture on a shop wall and just move stock from the main grow area, into the shop. Perhaps even under soft lighting.
Would love to see more from this greenhouse grower. How the green house is built, the seedling propagation, produce picking and packaging.
Im watching from Kingston, Jamaica. I'm absolutely mesmerized by this type of farming and will be doing it myself. Hopefully, to grow to a commercial scale. These videos really help.
my Vincentian friend is also looking to do this in vincy. good luck 😊
Do a video on the lettuce fertilizer
Thank you from America for such an information packed video on the vegetable gardening program. I wish you guys all the best! Please continue to share your valuable experiences and knowledge with all of humanity worldwide!
Best video ive seen. And this good ole guy makes me so happy😊
Watched this one over the weekend. Gives me some hope for the future 😉😁
Cheers Hoocho. 🌱👍
What I love is Bobs Commercial farming history and how he hangs his hydro tomatoes differently!! Thanks for sharing
Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸
Love your setup! Would love to see how you built it from the ground up!
My husband and I are about to purchase a home 🏡 with some land and are looking to do this sort of thing along with raising animals. Thanks for sharing!
Great show thanks Les from Perth 🎯🎯🎯
That was such an exhaustive and insightful video, thanks for sharing it
From an American to another great aussie and hydroponics !!! Great video mate !
Another great Hoocho's segment. Thank you for visiting and sharing Rob's farm. Way to grow Rob!
Thanks sharing, and thanks to internet
Soo good thank you to this bloke for sharing everything . I really appreciate it cheers from New Zealand . Thank you hoocho for showing me how easy hydro can be im only running kratky atm but plans have been made and the nft is going to be up shortly. You are doing a good thing well done!
👏 living the dream, brilliant
Thank you. This was a great video. Lots of great info.
Bloody fantastic set up Rob! I’ve now got grow envy going on lol
Amazing, can we have a 2023 version for heat climates?
bl*0dy hell I love this channel. especially the liberal sprinkling of beers with a job well done.
trade mark of down under fellas 😎
Fantastic video. Interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing guys.
🍻 cheers Hoocho, always got an eye out for quality companies to give all my 💸💰...we just need them to always be reachable and willing to assist customers, and to be stocking high quality products.
Top job Rob and a top bloke👍👍
Great video... Alot of information.... A major part of doing hydroponics is getting your produce on the market.
Envious. I have a little room here in Tokyo growing some lettuce and basil in two hydroponics towers.
Great, informative video. Would love to hear more from Rob!
Rob, thanks for sharing the knowledge and the experience!!
New to the channel but love the level of detail you go into. A new subscriber here!
Brilliant well set up greenhouse…being able to supply produce like that is a credit to your knowledge and wisdom of hydroponics
Thanks bro that was a good watch, I’m about to grow a few tomatoes in my front yard.
Green house goals! 🥰
Dude, the level of detail was amazing. Great video.
Great video! This gets me excited about what I could grow one day!
I'd love to know more about the greenhouse, if you don't mind sharing. How is the greenhouse anchored to the ground? It looks like the bases sits on a concrete slab?
Great information in this video thank you! Would be good for repeat visits to see whats new.
Amazing, all the best...
wow your hydroponic garden is so amazing
my fave hooch by far.
One of the best hydroponic farming thank you
Very interesting. And a pleasant way of living
My dad sent me this as I wanna try my hands and markets with my NFT system. I'm still a newbie when it comes to the water part still. Good to know about the E.C. cuz I havnt been using it. My bok choy came out super bitter n I was clueless as to why
I learned a lot from this video thank you so much
That was really interesting. It is great being able to make a living out of something you love doing.
Awesome watch!
guy was about to sieve his poo for magic tomato seeds
I love a very nice set up and green house. But how about the submersible pump using what is the ideal pump . ?
great interview......i also am a grower
Throw a compost pile next to GH to conduct heat during the winter
Nice video. The planting pots and seedling trays can be useful in this greenhouse?
🙏👏 Everything looks incredibly tasty. The tomatoes were amazing too
This channel is friggin amazing. Absolutely love it.
I need to find an agronomist in Scotland to give me a little advice on a system I plan on building in a few months.
Can we have some more details on the chives in hydro system info? That was super interesting and have anecdotally noticed the same in our own system.
Amazing video. Very informative. Thank you.
love this channel
Yes Hoocho ! You need to sell the end caps and float covers.

Look into perlite in mesh bags as perlite is 100% reusable with minimal loss with spent root balls and it works perfectly for any flowing system.
Hoocho, you have shown us many Hydroponic systems, but the purpose of your channel as you have said is to make Hydroponics affordable to everyone. If you take out pumps and electricity, that just leaves the passive systems. What has been your most successful passive system and what type of dry nutrients are you using and how do you mix it for say a 100 litre reservoir
This is an interesting question can we implement without the pumps or minimum electricity
Dang, I'm chill here, an I suddly hear 'prices in Australia'
Now I'm really interested, been most vids I found are in USA, Micronesia, outside FB sharing pics, I have found little Oz vid info.
Not even seen 'market' vids outside USA.
The pipes look open ... how is the water staying inside. Ive heard something about a 3 inch fold... is this what he was referring to???
Great video
Great video. I have a 3D printer, would love to help out with the end caps.
Nice video and very educational
"Mate, you helped me build half this greenhouse, of course you can have the bloody seeds" Lmao I love aussies!
Hi Hoocho
Great video you are very good teacher. Little question:
The tips of the center leaves of my romaine lettuce are black. The EC is at 1.4 the PH is at 7 Es that it is the lack of ventilation. And if I wont to send you a picture is this possible. Because I think a photo worth 1000 words.

As far as I have learnt lettuce grows best between 16-22 degrees and tends to bolt and get bitter at higher temperatures. Btw, I live on the South-wes tcoast of Norway.
Root temperature plays a large role, keeping the nutrient temp low helps.
Great content
Amazing we would love to send you some TNB gear for your gardens love the channel subbed for sure
Flick me an email, contacthoocho@gmail.com
Awesome
Great video!
btw you dont need to pump constantly there can be intervals like 15 minutes vor every hour or so. This way you can cut energy costs and not waste energy
Excellent and informative video, well done and thank you. Is it too much to ask about design details, plans & a cut list for the greenhouse?
Where did you get all the materials? Roofing, walls, tubing etc?
Do you guys not get thrips with lettuce and tomatoes so close? That has always been my problem
Rare for me 2 see thrips, aphids & caterpillar moth/ Heliothis are my main issues, but easy 2 fix with organics
What size greenhouse is that? How many reservoirs are you running?
Where do you find an agronimost to design your nutrients for you? That's amazing!
Would love information on how to setup a system like thsi
Where do y'all get 4mm and 8mm tubing? Bunnings bottoms out at 13mm for the most part, with the odd attachment for 4mm to 13mm
Hey man, thanks a lot for your vdeos, it has been so hellpfull to watch them, i need to ask, how much water solution can i put to a 1000 lettuce plant?? in hydroponic system
Amazing produce I wish mine looked like that. :)
Hoping you can help answer a question about the Greenhouse material. I'm looking at making a smaller residential one and was looking for that sort of opaque plastic.
Looking on Amazon I really only come across Clear or White. Would yours be considered white?
great video, where can get those white channels?
Hoocho ya leg, wheres old mates market?? I want to eat some tomatoes! And how come i've never seen you at yandina markets?!
@Hoocho..... really c*nt? tryna scam people watching hydro videos. get a real job.
Will you do a another tour of this place now that a year has passed?
can you fill nft with clay balls and direct plant?
yes you can, but you have to water more frequently if not constantly
Come on Hoocho must be time for a re-cap update on this grower, would like to see an update on the systems
He posted regularly on the Facebook group till he sold the place
@@Hoocho dont do face book - shame he sold, he had a nice set up
@robcross996 great to here - look forward to it,
Feeding your plants a soluble form of silica at the roots will also thicken the cell walls. I mix powdered leonardite up with silicon dioxide derived from diatoms and put under the mulch.
Anyone know what kind of plastic that is? what thickness and what percentage of sun it blocks?
That is amazing. If I could find the land at an affordable price it wold be a dream to grow for markets in the UK.
If anyone has a field or old industrial site going cheap in Bromley, Kent, get in touch.
Allotments in Westerham by the school are only like £40 for a year and there are 20-30 plots free I think.
Where did he buy the tomato seeds from mate?

I know in America the Agricultural department has free sponsored Green house programs if you have the land to put it on
There's no substitute for experience
How often should you change your water for a hydro system for one plant?
hey there i am studying hydroponics and aquaponics to see if i can start a small rack for testing at home.
can i ask if its better to do this indoor or outdoor ?
do i really need a pump timer for this ?
what other gadgets are required ? like PH level tester etc...
thank you
Bluelab EC and PH meters are definitely the way to go
@@MB-co6qj thank you

@@Hoocho a commercial hydroponic grower near me does exactly this with lettuce
@@brianrollins3245 I’d love more details, are you in aus? contacthoocho@gmail.com
What are the dimension of the green house? Thanks in advance.
why doesnt he put 3 seeds into the corner of each jiffy peet pod then separate them?
Which market can I try your produce rob? Ah pamona
Hi can you growing lettuce all year long with this method
Where can I get these grow “tubes”??
What is the span between the uprights on the greenhouse?
@Rob Cross Thanks but I meant the space between the uprights - 1.5m ,1.8m, 2m ?
