It is the end of the season and I wanted to do a wrap up video of my first attempt at hydroponic tomatoes. First time growing, you learn a lot — everything from blossom end rot, to broken vines, to amazing tasting tomatoes. The title is only sort of click-baity 🙂 These things really did surprise me.
I used:
MASTERBLEND 4-18-38 Complete Combo Kit Fertilizer Bulk (5 Pound Kit):
https://amzn.to/2WdXPLM
And it worked great.
This 120GPH Submersible Water pump.
https://amzn.to/2Dui14x
It was cheap and worked most of the summer. The second one I bought worked the rest of the summer and is still going a year later indoors.
The buckets I got locally.
The hose black 1/2″ ID tubing. If you use the pump above, you need 1/2″ ID tubing

Good luck!

how many times a day do you recommend pumping?
Hi
How the water gone back into reservoir ??
Hey I looked at your fb page but the system I want is a 2 site Rdwc areoponic or fogponic system using the 20 gallon Rubbermaid brute trashcans (black w/lid) in a straight line configuration instead of the usual triangle configuration, if you think you can build it for me please send me a quote you can email me at bigbadboi420@gmail.com thanks
Hi, Thank for the video what size are the regular drain and over flow? is the pvc pipe?
junk
Nice setup. Simple but effective.
interesting video…..
just dropped a like keep up the great work
Most detailed system build I've seen on Youtube! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the information…
Hey but I'm interested and buying one of your setups please let me know how much they are
the nutrient water flows in and out via the overflow pipe but how does it flow back to the sump?
you could have bought proper bulkheads for the price of those pvc fittings
Thanks for info about only running the pump until fill to over flow. I have been doing 30 minute flood. How many times a day do you run the pump?
thanks shawn you have made something i thought was so hard to understand look so easy ive been over thinking the timing system. I was given a brand new system from a friends estate in the box 12 pots no directions and a big cloning machine . I now after 4 years understand the flood snd drain perfectly.Thanks bud.
This should fix the complaints about your staring: https://mcphee.com/products/googly-eyes-glasses
haha! just discovered your channel. I love the comedy mixed in with your videos (and I am glad to see you are still making videos). I am looking to start an indoor garden very soon. I should setup lettuce, but I want to try tomatoes too.
Nutrient uptake is directly related to ph. If the ph isn't right the nutrients become locked out. Cal-Mag is one of those that can be locked out in ph above 5.7. I find a ph of 5.4-5.6 works best with Cal-mag issues…
Haha it felt a little awkward but when you brought it up the staring got funny!
Dude you look amazing you stare at tat cam k all you want
The plants didn’t have the right uptake for the plants to take in the macronutrients. I use mammoth P and cal mag to correct these deficiencies.
people who do not like hydroponics love and eat mc donals lol
Hey cool vid. Check out my Ghost Pepper and 3-year-old Carolina Reaper huge plant from 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgtvir-8Z9Y&t=84s
Thank you so much for the video. This year will also be my first year for dutch buckets outside on my deck. I'm thinking of using 3 gallon buckets. Do you think that will be big enough for large tomato plants? Thanks for your videos.
You need boron
I can see why someone would feel nervous. I feel like you're about to lecture me on the errors of my way.
Hi! I am from Africa in east . I am interest on Dutch bracket hydroponic but the problems is how to have that master blend fertilizer. And if I use this soluble fertilizer for drip irrigation problems came how to calculate correct ratio. My WhatsApp number and email is +255655088400 gervasmsoka@gmail.com
Thank u
they look like san marzano tomatoes, i grew some and recognize the same problem
getting the flavour is the hardest part
Ty.
Mate, I subscribed because of your "stare". I don't trust people with wandering eyes, you're one of the more trustworthy uploaders I've seen on YT.
Cheers for your videos, much appreciated.
Load bearing tomato lol
dont listen to those people who say not to look at the camera. Dont orchestrate what you do, the more that people seem like theyre rehearsing the more it seems like i can only pay attention to how they're presenting than what they're presenting.
You should do indoor growing
