very cool?
You do excellent demonstration videos. This is a perfect example of how
demo videos should be done.
One question. You mentioned you had 3 days of torrential rain. What do you
do when the rainfall overflows the tub? Just let it go??
Nice video. I would use a hole saw used for cutting holes in doors for door
knobs. It’s a saw that adapts to a standard hand drill. Any hardware store
should carry them. Again, thanks for the video. I like your clear concise
approach.?
use a fucking hole saw you dumb ass?
WOW you made a mess! honestly you needed to look up hydroponic system first
get a circular attachment for your drill make sure it is 1/4 smaller then
your pots. second it your nutrients you put into the tub and use a
submersible pump to circulate the water to the drip system. Everything is
basically self contained except since your doing it outside you don’t use
the air pumps you set your system up different. You add a submersible pump
and put a raiser on attach a plastic sprinkler head. With a timer for 30 on
30 mins off. so no CO2 is needed. That for inside systems, You either do it
with a sprinkler or do it with submersible But is your doing it outside
usually the sprinkler system. especially when your tubs are not made strong
enough.?
Very interesting first lecture on hydroponics. I am now stimulated
To investigate farther. I hope to grow my own vegetables this way!?
Why didn’t you just use a hole saw ??
Never put your thumb in front of a knife when cutting, always cut away from
you or you will lose digits.?
Say “tote tub” one more time. I dare you! haha very good. So many kits
and videos online already but they don’t explain some of the basics for
people who are interesting in trying hydroponics for the 1st time?
why do you need an Air Pump??
I agree with other commentors. the best, hands down step by step video I
have ever seen on any topic. you don’t waste time jacking ur jaw about non
related topics and you are very detailed about how and what to do. thank
you. I feel much more confident about setting up my own system now. ?
how far from the bottom of the nettie pot did you plant?
You forgot to let the tubs sit for a couple of days to get rid of all
chlorine and other junk that is in tap water.?
Is this good for weed??
Run a layer of duct tape around your tote before you fill it with water and
it wont bow out once its filled.?
I went to WalMart and “acquired” a couple of storage bins as your video
directed. They were awfully difficult to hide under my shirt. When security
stopped me, I told them that you had mentioned in the video several times
that you “acquired” your storage bins and I was just following your
instructions. As they clamped the handcuffs onto my wrists, the security
officer said to me that you may have used the word “purchased” instead of
“acquired” to better explain what you had done. I am hoping the Judge will
have a better understanding than the security officer did. Man, these cuffs
are really tight and I’m not so sure I can cut net pot holes with my hands
cuffed behind my back like this. The security officer said not to worry, as
I can make license plates instead. :-)?
Cool video. I’m going to try my hand at some tomatoes and peppers. Also I’m
going to tie a piece of rope around the top of the container before filling
it with water. Hopefully it keeps it from swelling open so the lid will go
right on it.?
Thank you for an excellent instructional video. All my issues have now been
resolved.?
So, food grade plastic wasn’t an important factor for you, recycled plastic
is fine, right??
Thank you for a good video!
Photo’s and description, ending with shown results. I thank you for that.
So many people just hit record and go, no editing…..Drives me crazy! :)?
Cool vid I think a Dremel rotary cutter would make cutting the holes clean
and easy. Will try and hopefully remember to post if that works. How do you
keep the water level constant and what kind of maintenance does the system
require to keep the correct amount of nutrients??
An easy solution to fix the tubs from bulging out is to take a piece of
rope and tie around the top of the tub tight right under the lip before
filling with water. JMT?
Sorry, I fell asleep listing to the very slow and mono – tone speaker! ; (?
How often to you need to change the water? If at all… And does it matter
what size pots for different plant??
I want one of those for weed production.?
Though contested, many people espouse the notion that we must maintain a
predominantly alkaline stomach/gut environment versus an acidic
environment. It’s said an alkaline environment is inhospitable to
viruses/bacteria/fungi/parasites. The same people then state that
vegetables such as iceberg lettuce, though lacking in vitamin and mineral
nutrition, are nonetheless beneficial as they alkalize your body. It is
stated that if we eat a lot of alkalizing foods versus acidic foods (fried
cheese, sugar soda etc., being ‘acidic’ foods) our immune systems would
then be much relieved of unnecessarily strenuous digestive duties and more
able to focus on promoting our immune system response. That is, a healthy
gut is more alkaline than acidic promoting proper absorbtion of nutrients
and not ladden down with processing acidic/sugary (starchy?) food – we
would have the body focus and energy resources for healthy immunity as well
as fending off viruses/bacteria/fungi/parasites. By the time we are 30 we
harbor many parasites, generally.
If Iceberg lettuce is beneficial, then are hydroponics a solution? The fish
tank/hydroponic approach is neat, maybe if tiny robots cleaned the filter
lines? I like the large warehouses, even underground bunkers solar powered
(as we more effectively learn to transcribe sunlight to stored battery
power). However, pumping ‘solution’ never seemed right to me as a way to
make a real healthy diner salad plant.?
What is the size of the greenhouse? How much does this system cost? Is it
scalable? I have so many questions. Will you provide me some sort of info
pack. Thanks.?
i
Amazing technology. This will solve the food crisis and can be applied to
future mars colonies. ?
hi,
I looking for a automatic control system of water nutrients. please let me
know if you can help.
Thanks & Regards
Nataraj KN?
what kind of fertilizers they use here ??
cool…but they also need to get rid of the guy who packs it…so no more
laverne and shirleys ?
well I see lots of people going for the anti-semitic thing, conspiracy
thing and stuff like that. Everything has started with FREAKING LETTUCE!!!
Now I understand why we need a quite huge asteroid to wipe us off! We don’t
deserve this planet! There is no love.There are just people craving for
power regardless the wellbeing of the others! Do a big favour to the world
and yourselves kids….fight you battles outside your home and without a
laptop in front of you!!! Freaking PLEASE!!!!!?
did you fertilizer in the water for vegetable ??
i wonder how much a lettuce would cost if grown at northpole or in the
sahara, just as shown in this nice video.?
The issue with hydroponics is you have to shop for “plant food” or
nutrients and supplements that can be pricey.?
I’ll never buy gro ponics, not enough nutritions in this products?
keep in mind that lettuce has nearly zero food calories.. so it has nearly
zero utility in feeding people we think of as “hungry” People who are
underfed need green, leafy food, yes, but they also need calorie rich food.
grains, tubers, etc. IMHO, this is a luxury system, profitable in areas
where people can afford high prices for convenient food. I believe it is
always worth asking how many calories of energy went into creating the
calories worth of food you are eating. Here, with a life cycle cost of
energy for building and running the system, the answer is, many more
calories in than you get out.?
Hydroponic lettuce greenhouse factory — fully Automated?
I still do not understand this a great system so why dose not Some VIP
Purchase two of the green houses and go to the location the World FOOD Org.
are saying that there is starvation of THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS REFUGES FROM
the wars in Africa
Pls inform how much investment amount for a minimum commercial scale in
Australia and America and how long for construction and learning curve
time. My email address is: liukehyih@gmail.com
Very true…
You don’t know very much avbout the subject it seems. Educate yourself
before talking shit please
Oh, ignorant anti-Israel and likely anti-semitic (considering you’re
involving the jewish diaspora) must even invade agricultural technology
videos on youtube…
You could grow worms in compost made from the waste of the plants. That way
you can reduce commercial fish food.
The billions of people who have enough food to eat as a direct consequence
of chemical fertilizers probably don’t think it’s so lame.
sorry, there are no gods,,,,,,,,,, There IS only one God, YWHW, and His
son, our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.
Hello Growponics, is the romaine Jericho variety?
let me ask, how much investment money for 1000 square meter, i’m in
Vietnam, in my country no one use this system like this before. my email:
