Building an Inexpensive Hydroponics/Aeroponics System

Building an Inexpensive Hydroponics/Aeroponics System

Scott Dekarske of Wet-Werk Hydroponics in Memphis, TN, and Master Gardener, Stephan Leonard, show how to assemble an inexpensive aeroponics system. It only takes a few hours to assemble this system.

    Why the sprayers facing downward?



  2. Little House On The Hill on July 21, 2022 at 10:49 pm

    Any particular sprayer? Currently have drip system and it is just to much. I want to add sprayer and adjustment valve



  3. Daniel Moye on July 21, 2022 at 10:49 pm

    Question for anyone who’s put one of these together for indoor use. What kind of grow light is good for a system like this? Looking for something effective yet relatively affordable if possible.



  4. jayden ritchie on July 21, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    is it possible to just use an aerator rather than spray bars and pump once the roots reach the water level?



  5. J P on July 21, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    Great video and guests. Thank you



  6. Home Health Plus USA on July 21, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    No reason to show the jets working and system functioning with water pumping.



  7. Arthur Spiegel on July 21, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    Hey, guys. I have built my tote and have the nutrients, calcium and magnesium and ph adjusters. I also have a good pump and a light system and a timer.

    Can you advise what kind of timer cycle I should be using for the pump and the lighting?

    I appreciate your reply.



  8. Adam Fischer on July 21, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    Why do you need sprayers?



  9. Living and Loving Life on July 21, 2022 at 10:53 pm

    Are these plans still available?



  10. The Roof Family on July 21, 2022 at 10:53 pm

    Does the pump run non stop?



  11. Damien Robert smyth on July 21, 2022 at 10:55 pm

    That was a nice and simple explanation of a diy hydroponic system



  12. Leila Hojat on July 21, 2022 at 10:55 pm

    ​ @Family Plot ​ @Wet Werk or anyone else, do you know how I could link up multiple systems with one pump? I made one of these systems that has been working great for me, and I’m ready to expand! I was thinking I could have one system that sits higher that drains into the lower one, with the pump in the lower system, but not sure if that would work or if there’s a better way that someone else has thought of. Either way, thanks so much for putting these amazing videos together! I love my little garden. Also for whoever suggested it in the comments, the float valve works great!



  13. cryzz0n on July 21, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    These cats are awkward but man they are it! You guys helped my project out a lot. Tons of complicated “professional” setup vids that just aren’t feasible for everyday people. Thank you!!!



  14. Evan Carroll on July 21, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    For those wondering you can see at 3:48 he’s using 1/2 inch pipe..



  15. vstyles888 on July 21, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Can I just purchase the assembled tote? They need to put this on the market already assembled.



  16. leonelmolinajr2 on July 21, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Can I use this system to grow jalapeños indoors?



  17. cious li on July 21, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    I mean this isn’t rocket science, but the way this was presented deserves praise. Step by step and with a lot of close-up shots. Well done.



  18. Linda Hargett on July 21, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    How can the plants get watered when the water is down sprayed not up? The roots aren’t long enough.



  19. Tracy T on July 21, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    Are the totes food grade containers?



  20. mynamesjudge on July 21, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    I liked the cheesily pleasant style of this video and it gave me a good plan for my new project. Thanks guys!



  21. Wittbit on July 21, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    you guys R MAGIC kk 73’s 👌👌👌👌



  22. CHAXIMUS HOFFMAN on July 21, 2022 at 11:03 pm

    Well done.



  23. Communism on July 21, 2022 at 11:03 pm

    Could I use this for a plant that contains thc?



  24. Frank Rodriguez on July 21, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    Why doesn’t someone sell this



  25. Cque on July 21, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    ​ @Family Plot Do you put nutrients into the water? Very new to hydroponics. If so what nutrients would you need? That is basically it then? Build this in the video, then add nutrients to water?



  26. Anna L on July 21, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    A parts list and where to get them would be EXTREMELY helpful for utter newbies. I have the skill and the tools to do this,, but have no clue where to get the pump, the plant cups, the sprayers, all the stuff that actually makes it work.



  27. Ryan Walker on July 21, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    I didn’t know Key and Peele had a wholesome, farming channel! haha but seriously, amazing video! Thank you. I can’t wait to get on this!



  28. Arthur Spiegel on July 21, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    I am developing a system like you made here. As for the net pots and plant collars, do you expect to plant the plants in soil eventually? Or is it expected that the plany’s entire life will be on top of the box?



  29. Huy Vu on July 21, 2022 at 11:12 pm

    How does the water get to the plant roots if the sprayers are sprayinig down?



  30. TrustySkills on July 21, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    Dewy mister is a cheap easy system



  31. Ben Hansford on July 21, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    Why do you have the sprayers pointing down ? I would think that you should be spraying the stem and roots



  32. NOT OF THIS WORLD CHANNEL on July 21, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    LOST EPISODE OF SESAME STREET WITHOUT BIG BIRD!!



  33. Allan Steven on July 21, 2022 at 11:20 pm

    Great Video, can anyone suggest indoor grow light to use and should I use a fan? How often to set the pump….. 30m on 30m off….???
    Thanks



  34. Jojo Ford on July 21, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Where the weed?



  35. A Serious Salamander on July 21, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    I wonder what they are planning to grow



  36. Yi Zhang on July 21, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    Great!



  37. Max Gatsche on July 21, 2022 at 11:25 pm

    Built one of these. Works nice.



  38. Secutus Dep on July 21, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    He said pickles grow above ground 😂😂😂



  39. BSG on July 21, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Can you plant canelope and grapes through an aeroponic tub?



  40. Glacéeleventeen96 on July 21, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    Key and peel sharing that knowledge



  41. pesjld on July 21, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    Great "for anything that grows above the surface like tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles… ". Wait, what, you can grow pickles? If he knows this magic I think he should share this ability. I’ve been making pickles from cucumbers for years I never knew you could just GROW them. Amazing!

    *Behold the Christian Race*

    Cush (Greek: Ethiopia), means sun-burnt face
    Phoenicians described by the Greeks, as fair-haired, fair-skinned people
    Persia means Lord of the Aryans now renamed IRAN
    Zimbabwe once known as Rhodesia
    Chicongo once known as Chicago

    12 Tribes passed through the Caucasus Mountains
    (i)ssac’s Sons / Saxons / Anglo-Saxons / Europe / Australia / New Zealand / North America / Christian First World / "We the People"

    38 For as in those days before the flood,

    *they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,*

    until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away,

    *so will be the coming of the Son of Man.*



  43. Maria Taylor on July 21, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    can I get one of these made already please I need one



  44. arlie richardson on July 21, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    its a great video except you don’t say in the video what size circular bit your using. and in pdf it says 3" and 2" cups is there a reason it’s 3" and it’s not a typo



  45. Pink Eye on July 21, 2022 at 11:40 pm

    very interesting, make me thinkw hether I was watching youtube or television



  46. Vasayo Ka on July 21, 2022 at 11:40 pm

    For anyone attempting this, skip all the pvc piping and just fill it with solution, your plants, and an air stone if you’re feeling frisky. Great job guys but this method is all about working smarter not harder



  47. Brian Thwaites on July 21, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    Way over complicated



  48. Thomas Dalziell on July 21, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    That was painfull to watch



  49. Jerk on July 21, 2022 at 11:44 pm

    You can use these for other things than cloning weed?



  50. Tamana Jabbar on July 21, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    stop
