This video is to show a cheap alternative way make an inexpensive and simple hydroponic setup. It is by no means the best way, but it works and will cause less evaporation of the solution compared to using an airstone. This helps keep the TDS and PH of the solution more stable while keeping the water oxygenated and keeping the roots in the air, moist so that the roots do not air prune themselves
What size is that tube?
…interesting thumbnail!
what about the special sprayers so the droplets go to the correct micron level?
Quick tip if you are using a bipod (stable camera), you don’t need video stabilization.
Wow 😳 I can’t wait to try this
where did you buy those lights strip
hey hows the update?
How often do you have to change the water if you have nutrients in it or do you just top up.
That is not real aeroponics…. you should have fine mist, not holes pissing water out. And the roots will end up submerged if you leave the nutrients in the same chamber. Nutrient mix should be in seperate chamber so when it 8s spraying the runoff can collect and recycle back to the reserve instead of sitting in bottom of root chamber.
I didn’t catch what nutrients you use. What brand won’t clog the system?
lol aeroponics is a mist ejected into air to wet roots with a control particle size NOT mass streams just spraying out of hoses – aeroponic growing is to grow plants suspended in a closed or semi-closed environment by spraying the plant’s dangling roots and lower stem with an atomized or sprayed, nutrient-rich water solution
Simple but works that’s what it’s all about
water msut be less aerated than an airstone tho? did u test difference in growth
There’s gotta be a simpler way
Hi
What is the frequency u follow to run the pump?
What do you suggest to keep the roots out of the pump?
Good video!! can you do more on nutrients for newbe’s
Doesn’t true aeroponics need the nutrient solution to be dispersed at 50 microns or less (like a mist)?
Quick tip: make your holes in flex tube before you install..
It’s steel wire, not aluminium.
This is very clever! Can a soaker hose like is used in air diffusers be used also, or are the holes too small to eject enough water?
😎
Kinda janky, but i guess if its all you have access to. You can pick up a sprayer manifold for the pump and the nozzles for like 10 to 15 bucks. These systems are better suited for cloning rather than just a straight up up DWC grow.
Awesome video man. How much would be too much pressure coming from the pump?
I put a $8 kids pool ontop of any water container and a $16 pump
Thank god I have asthma so I can use one of my extra breathing machines for this lol.
Hey there, how are the watermelons doing? I’m anxious to see how they turn out because I would really like to grow my own cantaloupes. The ones that I buy at the store are hit or miss. I end up throwing out half of them because they taste weird…really weird…it reminds me of the way nail polish remover smells. Thank you.
when is the part you droned?
This would be perfect for a greenhouse/hothouse where you cant put an air pump in due to humidity or spray systems
This seems like such a great idea. I have watched it a number of times and bought the stuff to set one up this weekend. I have seen other videos since where you are actually using it. That is a great recommendation. Have you thought of improvements or changes you would make now that you have used it a couple years?

Instead of using just a hole I would of put in 180 mist speakers to put in the holes instead of just holes but that’s all I would of changed great system still
Perfect idea many thanks for sharing❤️🙏🏼
I really enjoy watching your videos because you take a more scientific approach to making decisions. DWC or Krantky? Well, let’s test and see the difference? White or blurple LEDs? Well, let’s test and see. So after watching lots of different hydroponics channels, I came to you to decide how to set up my first system. However, I’m concerned that (unless I’ve missed a crucial video), there are certain things you don’t consider. Specifically, what materials–especially plastics–are safe to use around plants we’ll be eating? From my preliminary research, PVC piping and vinyl tubing are not things you want your food exposed to. There are other food safe plastics: HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) are both widely available and considered safe for food. Most plastic tubs/bins/boxes sold at Walmart are made out of PP (recycle number 5). It’s pretty easy to find HDPE tubing.
What do you think on the food safe plastics front?

I’d rather focus on electrical safety rather the air. Great content, as always.
I tried this, those holes eventually lose pressure and clog, too much maitenance for something so unreliable. Just do it the right way, its not that much more money
This is simply brilliant! Wow. I would not have thought of that. I’m going to try this over the weekend. Thanks.
this is honestly the worst way ive seen this done for so many reasons but burn the tubing are you having a laugh
Why not add a T splitter instead of cutting and sealing one end ?? Just curious
Humm.
This is a cross breed of hydro
I came up with back in 98 ..
Don’t tell me people are just
figuring this out now !?!?
I mean come on , ….
Ebb&flow / aero mix ,
Will copper wire leech copper into the water? That could be dangerous to the bacteria.
Was there a follow up to see this working?
seems like the oxygen levels would be low
This method is ingenius!!! It is so much less expensive than pvc and so much easier. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing knowledge🙏, I belong to India🇮🇳, poor people help, s this video🎥 💐💐👆👍👋👋
Do you have the pump on a timer? If so how long on, and how long off?
great vids. thanks!
Grow some pot
I recommend trying a ultrasonic mist maker in a 5g bucket as an easy and very effective aeroponics system
😁😁😁
Have you been successful in growing peppers with this setup?
