The PA Hydroponics 4 Plant Fallponic system is designed to fit in a 4×4 Gorilla Grow Tent with the reservoir outside of the tent and 3″ PVC returns for clog free growing! Water flows from the outside reservoir thru 3/4 inch tubing and pours into top of the grow chambers with an inline 400 Gallon per hour pump. Each plant site will get about 100 gallons of nutrient solution per hour which should keep it stirred up for even PH balancing and mixing. Having the water reservoir outside the tent allows more room for growing big plants and eliminates the headache of fumbling around the inside while adding nutrients or draining the system.
Gary created this video specifically for the Do It Yourself crowd and for those who may not have access to our finished products.

lMFAO, A 400 GPH pump will pump 400 gallons through the whole system, not 100 gallons in each pot. It doesn't work that way, dodo.
Building this soon all my parts have been ordered. Incase your in Canada and can’t find the stuff to make your own check out a store called the grow depot they have 90% of what u will need.
Hey Gary! Visiting from Oklahoma here. I really appreciate the videos! They have definitely been 100% helpful and given me some great ideas to build a foundation off of
Your system is awesome but, it seems that it's a very expensive way to grow plants. How many years does it take to get my investment back, unless if i grow weed?
What's up dude.. is it a must to use a dehumidifier in a grow tent?
So I’ve been running soil NFTG for 6 years now. What are the benefits to switching to this and what nutes do you use?
Good man, thanks
Totaly blown away Down under Mate
Hey Gary how do I order off your website i want to buy that vortex filter combo I want the Complete Pro 6" Ventilation Kit For Indoor Grow Tents
"wear a chainmail vest if u got 1 layin around" lmao
Hello! Love the videos. Currently trying to decide between flood and drain vs rdwc. I’ve read that rdwc can’t produce the quality of plants that flood and drain can. Any advice? Thanks!
What's up Gary if you had say a 5×5 grow tent would you get one 1000watt led or go with say one 600watt and one 400 watt?
Hey Gary, still love your videos! I bought the 2 bucket 5 gallon system from ya when you were making them outa the buckets. Worked very good, now i am ready for this set up. Really like it and keep up the good work!
Did some research and found a 8" hole saw for you. After hitting it with the de-burr tool, you should be good….

"Gary's 9inches of big white pipe"… Had to "rewind" the video to catch what I missed after I stopped laughing. Subscribed!
Hey Gary! Doesn't the 3" PVC elbow-run to the outside-the-tent reservoir create a potential for the waterfall to run dry if water levels drop below the top of the arc?
thank you so much for making this video. would have purchased from you but i live in canada. Is the U in the return pipe only to get thru the tent or for another reason?
