It's a good system, but I don't like how loud that pump is along with the bubbles rising to the top its not ideal, I am finding out because I live in a small place.
Well broken down for step by step on how to get started. I greatly appreciate how you shared your insight and knowledge of the hydroponics. Keep up good work.
I got a hydroponic growing system for mother's day and have developed a mild obsession already. I have everything but the clay balls to set up a mini system with a giant coffee container, just some basil to start. If I have any success I'll step it up to this size.
@@aidenadams8676 IF those check valves actually work its still best to have the pump higher then the water level like already stated for the most security.
You can purchase a pre built kit called root spa with the appropriate buckets and tubing for less and shipped to your door...the way the one in this video is done will cause nothing but problems..it was a nice effort though.
Light entering through the opaque bucket will cause algae to grow, paint them black. Otherwise nice informative video👍🏻
and wash the clay first
I painted mine a reflective silver since I live in FL.
Make sure you rinse that Hydroton real good before adding it to the net pot.
wash your clay pellets before setting them in your hydroponics system.
I agree he had some dirty brown water after just dumping them in.
I had so many pellets to wash I went and bought a cement mixer and converted into a clay washing machine 😊
I’m using the same air pump on my dwc set up, it was making my water to hot. So I added a 10’ line from the pump to the manifold to reduce the heat.
You can play this at x2 speed and understand all perfectly.
good call on the check valves i siphoned all my water through my pump...
How do you plan on draining this setup? How far do you have to fill the buckets? How do you planning on dealing with your future algae problem?
Does the root make it's way down to the water below?
How do you give the plants neuts? pour it into the water or put on the rockwool
This is AMAZING. Thank you!
Thost buckets sure do let a lot of light in. Do you have issues with algae growth?
How do they get nutrients?
Manually?

can you reuse those buckets tops
Yes. Clean away the roots, wash and dry. Ready to go.
Very nice sir ☮🌱🤓🌍
You did not p h the hydrogen with cal mag or you will have problems with plant health
So loud!!
these types of air pumps generally make more noise. Best to use out in garage or greenhouse.
Just keep your pump above the water level and no check valves are needed.

Buckets should be black or spray painted black so as not to allow light in which can cause bacteria to grow and root rot
Those pumps are crazy loud. Swapped mine for much quieter whisper pumps
$40 a bucket that's pretty cheap but then you got to add that price to the price of your grow tent and your light setup
That was about worthless video it didn't show nothing on how to do the nutrients when to add and when to change the water or anything
Thank you new friend God bless you
good work dude. Keep growing
I'm just starting to get into this... see if you can get the items locally. I find some of the items are the same price or more on Amazon.
keep air pump above water level or it could siphon bac if power fails!
the is what the check valve is for

What kind of water are u using
Can you place multiple net pods in the same container?
yes
You can find and buy lids with four net pots.
Or make ur own

These are not food grade. Buy the white buckets.
Black always black. White will cause allgy to grow due to the light getting in.
Useless
