Dutch bucket hydroponics explained! Today we learn how to build a Dutch Bucket hydroponic system. Dutch bucket hydroponics is one of the most productive hydroponic systems and I’m excited for the future grows this system will enable.
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.

Happy Hydroponicing!
One of your best. Thank you.
Hey bro do the drains that go back into the return pipe need to be sealed around the gaps to stop algae growth or it doesn’t matter.
Hey mate great video! Does wind effect your system?
Awesome, question how strong is your pump feeding the pots?
Dumb question Mitch, what are those buckets you use called?
finally a yobo gardener…. sick of hearing yanks and poms… plus 10 bogan points for the beers… subscribing to this bloody legend!!
6:49 You look like Q on Impractical Jokers
Hey mate, any updates about whether there was any algae build up through the bottoms of the buckets?
Where do you get the black film from?
Do I need a pump? How about an endcap? LOL
Hello! I'm Davide from Italy! I really appreciate your videos! They are very informative and ingenious! Very good! I would like to ask you what kind of fertilizer you use! Also, how much do you set the PH and EC in uS / cm²? Thanks in advance for your valuable reply!
Great Video very rich with info which I would like to use in creating my own version of a dutch bucket system in South Africa
Ull love our falling angle larger in the uk home made 12.5 percent
did anyone ask your total cost , without buckets since free for you? and without that excess perlite ? obviously including endcap and the pump 😉
I like that the (assuming res float slightly below the return pipe) return pipe is where it is to create a constant waterfall effect that may aerate it some ?
i think ill buy these buckets , ill spend more on beer than the buckets doing this
Anyone know if there could be any negative consequences adding coco peat to the permiculite? Hydro shop here in WA is this video method good for Queensland with humidity but so dry in Perth WA we need to add some coco peat to help the roots. Bout to add it and thought I’d ask here
Really great stuff man, big fun here! What I miss though is really the water flow for the buckets, or the volume of the pump (l/min or per hour). Just put mine up but I do not get the flood and drain motion. Maybe somebody else can help out?
