Build Your Own Hydroponic Garden
Greenhouses Plans – successwithpoultry.blogspot.com DIY Hydroponics garden. Hydroponics is not a new development. It has been around since nearly the beginning of recorded history. That wonder of the ancient world known as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was an exercise in hydroponics and rice has been grown hydroponically for centuries. Today, hydroponics is used in a variety of settings. Wherever soil is unavailable, hydroponic gardening seems to appear. Wildcatters on offshore oilrigs grow their own tomatoes. Cooks on nuclear submarines hydroponically grow vegetables to use in there crew's meals. Right now, plants are growing on orbiting space stations without a single grain of soil. This video is an outline of the equipment and steps neccessary to build your own hydroponic garden. More information and diy hydroponics instructions can be found at www.self-sufficient-life.com

I’m buying drip emitters and not sure what gage (gph) to get. Any recommendations?
do not add Miracle gro put a nutrition solution in the water by adding miracle grow it will interfere with the plants levels of nitrogen witch is critical in the growth of plants giving plants more nitrogen then they need will not help keep the fertilizers to plants in soil
thanks, thats great, the normal youtube font is more legible, thanks!
The total is a little under $60
hey, i can read the price numbers cuz i have a eye problem, anone can tell me what is the total price?
Please find a new hobby. Im sure people in your local area need a village idiot.
It was the furnace filter material he wrapped around the roots. as for the Miracle-Gro I’m not sure.
over kill
dumb ass bitch
shitty scissors bro, you need an upgrade!
im gonna light up that dro
Was that a paper towel you wrapped the roots in? ALso, can you add Miracle-Gro to the water, or would the chemicals damage the filter/tank/caulk ???
fish ate my pot and now he talks
Styrofoam? Interesting.
genius thanks
brilliant idea to have floating styrofoam. styrofoam is also rather anti-bacterial/fungal i think since they use those containers to put cheese jugs in to ferment.
It takes about a good month before the nitrogen cycle will be complete. Afterward, treating it like a fish tank should help pretty darn well for the plants.
Like another user said, a reservoir below is another good way of doing it. Using a pond pump and timers to spray the plants every 15 minutes or however much they need to be watered. Lights on a timer too, makes everything much much easier and smooth.
Awesome vid, nice setup! Take care….
For all those still wondering, you can do a setup like this with fish. Most fish really don’t physically need light, however if you are going to cover the entire tank there is no need to put fish in the tank at all. If you leave the tank open you should install flour. lights above your plans to simulate the season. 18 hours during spring time, 12 towards fall seems to be pretty good. If you add fish and treat it as a fish tank, it will go through the nitrogen cycle, eliminating extra nutrients.
how offten do you put nutrients in the tank? Do you leave the pump on all the time, like an areo garden? how long from seed does it take for the seedlings to grow? If anyone knows let me know……I’m just new to this.
for anyone who plans to build this i would suggest using aluminum foil TAPE to cover it (not foil itself) because it will reflect some of the light off the tank and not interfere with the current temp of the water. Also, fish do need light to survive. How much i dont know but they do need it.
later
thats how you hydro grow weed
Dude, I don’t think fish need light to live. They just rely on the things the light helps sustain (phytoplankton, plants, etc.). I am sure that with oxygenated clean water and ample food, most fish would do just fine.
Could the light help with ‘good’ bacteria production and/or healthy immune function? That’s my question.
Thanks! I have been wanting one of these for years but knever knew exactly how to go about building one.
This was an awesome an awesome video, thanks for posting this.
Another thing you could use for the reservior is a large rubbermaid container. If you cover it in that metallic tape they use for repairing ducts its completely light tight. For the container and tape its about $10. I’ve made a smaller version for taking clones, about the size of a shoebox and it worked great. I’m about to try my first full size hydro system and grow some lettuce, so this video was a lot of help.
what substrates have people had the best luck with? i want a system that is modular – plug and play … like pvc pipe with substrates and bubbles flowing in. do you need to regulate the N2 CO2 O2 levels?
im interested in growing herbs, and also low sunlight roots. ginseng seems like a huge world-wide challenge right now
