You can transplant mature plants or start plants from seeds to grow in this thing.

I Use pool noodles no basket or rocks needed and still grows SAVE MONEY Buy Bucket with lids cut 2 1/4 hole and pool noodle cut 3 inches long then cut half inch out turn that around put back in Now it will hold your plants again Save lot of money
The best. Also the instructor was awesome
It more expensive then amazon an all the time you can get a set up of 8 with everything for 160 bux. This is cool but not practical
Weed weed weed 😇🙏🏿
Nerd Alert. Virgin Alert.
That DEWALT vacuum sucks… no pun intended, didn’t even suck up most the debris…
What if you wanna grow something heavy like a cabbage? That foam won’t float then
Those are not food grade buckets. You will leach plastic into your plants. Don’t use non food grade buckets!!!
Good luck keeping the algae from blooming. You need black buckets and a net pot that fits over the bucket to keep the light out.
No matter what power setting it is on, it will use whatever wattage is says. No matter the setting, it will either use the power or dissipate unused power as heat.
This guy could sell anything. Or make anything look easy fun and effort less. Great video !!
Awesome build! Has the weight of a mature plant ever been and issue with the floating foam system?
Don’t use foam use a lid. You don’t want you plant resting on the root ball. Yes change water once a week and only use half of what is recommended on the bottle.
doesn’t a tall plant tip the foam?
not sure i like the float idea, cool concept but if you have light leaks at the side your roots and water will go green with algae
First time here , amazing video am going to try it thanks man
3:24 styrofoam screeEEEECH! 🤯🦻🏻👊🏼☠
Whitin the first 10 seconds your already about 20 bucks over your 40 dollars you claim…this is a bullshit way for one plant…lmfao
are these food grade that are bpa free?
Thanks for the video, I definitely won’t be using this to grow anything illegal that’s for sure.
I made something similar except two buckets for about $600.
I thought the pump went IN the water… to pump water back up and so forth…
ur forgetting heat issues and light leaks
Could always use hole saws instead of those bits, would make less of a mess and you can get them in huge sizes if needed.
Just a thought, instead of a paddle bit ,try hole saw bit(mostly comes in various size packs 2-10inch) and can just be pressed trough and is very very safe…unlike carpet knife that will cut u <3
Yes! Now I can grow…. tomatoes
Go with the Kratky method and you can do the same thing for $4.
Great job.. never knew it was so easy to get started with hydroponics.. thanks 😊
Ask him about root rot and the oxygen the pumps that you need not these little pumps you need oxygen in that water the oxygen creates friction that creates Heat if you have lights that creates Heat you have to keep your water temperature down you need a chiller this 60 to $70 for a mini chiller
The liquid level needs to be a couple inches below the bottom of the net pot. This looks like an ingenious way to murder a plant
Great quality
how high were you filming this 😆 put the foam over the mouth of the bucket, cut a hole, done.
This was the absolute shitest Dwc I have come across on YouTube especially that stupid pointless floating idea like bruh wtf is that shit and omg the rookie install of the airstone like god dam tf is that im dying you could have purchased a fully operational one of Amazon for 30$ and free shipping🤣🤣🤣 I’m throwing this a big fat L
I can’t really figure out exactly why I like this guy, but I fuckin’ like this guy! Dude, I work in engineering and love that you escaped it….I also…..grow…things…..but rock on buddy guy!
Paddle bits can work but … thanks for making this video
Thank you! ❤
you know theres a four pack at HD FOR 110 bucks right?
You KNOW what I’m gonna grow:)
Is that bucket food-grade? Otherwise chemicals like BPA could leech into your food
I like this guy
I wonder how much weight the foam can support
Wouldn’t you have to adjust the distance from the light as the water level lowered ? , so either add water or adjust height for consistency.
A few concerns, the foam firstly is a great idea in theory but not so much in practice due to root rot. Secondly, the tubing used should be black, letting any light in the water can be a bad thing. Otherwise yeah, good on ya.
The HomeDepot orange bucket is not food safe. Please don’t use this bucket to grow food in
What about the heat in the water root rot it’s going to happen hydroguard doesn’t always help you got to chill the water with a mini shrimp chiller straight into the bucket water temperature got to be under 65 are you going to have major problems done it millions of times you’ll have more problems than successes
How loud is that pump? Asking cause I do propagation via grow rack and lights, but I’m interested in hydroponics as well, but live with roommates. Wouldnt want a loud pump that’d disturbed anyone
How big and heavy of a plant can you grow in that
7:39 there’s enough space of foam you coulda made 4 circles if you would have not jus cut one hole almost directly in the middle of the piece.
I would consider just using the regular lit and put the netcub in there. At least for bigger plants. Some plants need to have the base above the NS or you get trouble with root rot
enjoyed this video brother. Chill and informative
