Hoocho fails yet again. But the beauty of failure is that it allows us to learn from our failure and grow as a person…
…and no-one grows like Hoocho.
Hoochos explores the worlds of Hydroponics, Aquaponics, Permaculture, Homesteading, Fermentation, Technology Vanlife and DIY Builds to look at the world through a larger lens that can incorporate the best of everything into a rich and rewarding lifestyle.
Through self sufficiency we can reduce consumption and increase our hyperlocal household production.

I also failed my first hydroponic tomatoes. I am here to know what I did wrong
is that were Rapunzel kept her hair?
I had fruit fly problem too, but local produce store guy sold me a fruit fly trap and no more fruit fly.
I found the auto pots are best for tomatoes
So happy to read or view your trials n tribulations in growing hydroponicly.
I’m currently setting up the NFT system to grow tomatoes , iv already a large pieces of wire mesh setup for the tomato’s support. It’s gunna be a real feat in growing veggies up here in NW of WA. But like you I love a challenge.but Bunnings is about 600km away.
I’ve always had pretty good results with Toms in a Kratky system in my garden in the UK. I manage 4 or 5 in one 20l box with canes stuck in to the lid for support.
I must try Dutch buckets though, maybe in my garage with lights.
Great video. Are you in the temperate , sub tropic or tropical zone ? BTW, you were incorrect at 00:40 – . '…antechinus which is a local rat we have in Australia…'
Antechinus are not types of rats or even rodents. They're tiny marsupials.
Hi if you get chance I grow hydroponic tomatoes different than most but ive had great success so if you get chance see my little chanel on how I grow mine please pop over …really enjoy your videos thankyou paul
Hey Hoocho I've been using this method for a while and it works excellent, BUT only use the brown clips because there the only ones that are UV stable, just ask me how I know haha. Good luck mate. Seeya Rob…………the brown clips are cheap for what they are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awq5iliaGUU
You can grow those tomatoes from those cuttings and it's super easy if you are interested. https://youtu.be/JYEVoBcTtr4
You can edit your timelapses with a script so you only show the daytime portions. If you export your movie to individually named images with the datetime in the filename you can use the filtering portion of the script on this page https://www.mikeyroy.com/2014/06/29/long-term-daytime-only-timelapse-on-android/ to automatically sort the images. Then you can import all the good images back in to movie editing software and merge them back to a movie.
I have a guide wire above my NFT and tie my tomatoes up.
I’m growing nft cherry tomatoes atm, working fine so far, just need to train /support them on something and have smaller plants either side
I think Guyra tomato farm uses a nft system in their extensive glasshouses and they grow a couple of semi loads a day. The plants are supported on a wire that is adjusted daily.
I am only a new tomato grower but Dutch bucket is the way to go with toms. They need to be grown supported up a wire. There are plenty of tube videos that show you. It works.
Thanks Hoocho ,Very cool video .Hoocho have you visited commercial hydroponic farms ,You will see how they grow different spices ,Hope it helps
Painful! What a loss but also a gain of super valuable learning…
I have 8 tomatoes in my DWC and for 2 weeks, not topping up any water vs my NFT, 10L a day.
My DWC maters were growing well and ripening nicely, then today its 29 degrees F. w. t. f. On another note, I've been thinking about running my nft in shorter, 1 meter-ish pipes, and laying them pretty close to the ground, maybe knee height. Did you set up yours at that height to prevent animal access?
