Hi, im geting into hydroponics based of a 3D print idea for towers My hang up so far is understanding the grow medium I feel like everytime i search for a product or watch a video the information is geared for people with much higher knowledge than someone like myself I wanted to do dirt gardening, but i am learning the hard way how resilient grass is

I use lava rock works good in place of the balls
Comment from : Grits and Glamour - RV life

I love the pucks Great idea
Comment from : The Reluctant VEGrANny

thank u! I think I'll use ur technique I am thinking to do kratky in some plastic containers I want to reuse that are a bit smaller than the standard size and I would rather not buy plastic nets it seems cumbersome but cutting foam to size sounds smart! I am a total newb about what nutrient to put in my water any tips for me?

Thanks for your videos Practical and simple!!!

Its your logo? This idea pressented in this video looks exactly like your logo!
Comment from : lovelyplanet

Great idea! Do the pucks also work for downspout rails or just round pvc tubing?
Comment from : John Last

So awesome

Hey, do you add fertilizer in the water?
Comment from : Datariel

Nice toxic plants

And just like that, a logo is born
Comment from : SuperPussyFinger

Hello! Do you have to sterilize the pucks? If so, how do you go about doing that? Thank u in advance!
Comment from : Arin G

What nutrients do you add to the water, and how often do you change the water?

What is the thickness of EVA FOAM ?
Comment from : SOHAN

Good one thx Leca clay balls with a paper towel supporting the seed with the tail of it hanging down to the water sucking water up to the seed I've seen
Comment from : Ken Dexter

Wow great info brI've started using pool noodles but that square mat cut up is ingenious I've only used pool noodle that is two inches thick and it's great to see it will hold larger vegie plants wellbrBless you for sharing This has inspired me to continue I'm having good success with diluted sea water but have had home invasions and people have destroyed my seedlings repeatedly for months Had a potato seedling grow twelve inches long but that was damagedbrHave U watched video on aeroponics with potatoes great success also brGod bless U for sharing this I'm going to keep trying even though this neck of the woods has some nasty lunatics stalking me
Comment from : Annette Sutton

Brilliant That's it
Comment from : all15ofthem

Great videos I was worried about starting NFT in the open air but your videos give me hope I'm based in North Queensland and it gets hot and humid but cooling the reservoir and using shade cloth in summer may work You mention that you need about 2l/minute flow rate Is that continuous or do you you cycle?
Comment from : stephen bailey

For the record, that foam is referred to as EVA foam
Comment from : Evan Johnston

Less material cost but perhaps more labor cost Possible transplant shock
Comment from : tangobayus

Good to see a system without a greenhouse

Thanks mate These goes perfectly well with my logo too I shall try them
Comment from : Trash To Trove

Brilliant idea
Comment from : Daniel Shaw

What happens as the stem grows wider is there enough room to grow
Comment from : Katherine downover

I enjoy watching your innovations bro I am planning to implement some of it in my small backyard hydroponic system BTW what is the diameter of your pvc NFT channel?
Comment from : Arman Muhi

Genius!
Comment from : Sandy Beach

I'm currently using coco coir in net cups You can reuse the cups
Comment from : tangobayus

Thank you for all your help
Comment from : Barbara Stefani

Oh thanks for sharing your knowledge
Comment from : Solo Traveler

That material is not food safe, be mindful of checmical leaching
Comment from : Andrew Markwell

Looks like they could suffocate!
Comment from : MaLi Artworks

Hello dear, I am writing you from Costa Rica (people here says hi) I was watching your videos with all your excellent ideas and I am curious about the fact that the hole of your blue circular foam is design for a small plant in order to hold it My question is what happens when the plant begin to grows and gets thicker at the bottom? Can the plant grows properly? I am planning to set up my hidroponic NFT system down here and I was planning to use net pots which are very expensive I saw your video and I though that it could be a solution to get a cheaper plant holder idea I am going to put it into practice anyways however I look forward to hearing your answers Congratulations for the job you have done and also for your contribution Regards, Martin from Poas de Alajuela, Costa Rica

very interesting,,, im new to this,, can you do a video of how water should be in the seedling tank and tube?
Comment from : John Mcintosh

Thank you Pool Noodle to support the plants Genius idea! Bravo sir Thank you so much

bI just wanted to thank you for your idea & possibly helping save me in the garden I also have a video on my channel, how to grow hydroponic crops without using rockwool, hopefully it can help all hydroponic farmers to make savingsI just wanted to thank you for your idea & possibly helping save me in the garden I also have a video on my channel, how to grow hydroponic crops without using rockwool, hopefully it can help all hydroponic farmers to make savings/b

Another great video I have learned all sorts of things from your videoslike this onegreat work around love it
Comment from : Buy&Sell

I know this is an old video, but I think your idea is brilliant I have seen the pool noodle, the foam padding, the sponge, the rock wool, the expandel clay, the coco coir/peat Yours combined the foam padding with the pool noodle, both easily obtained, relatively inexpensive and are reusable The transition from seedlings in the DWC to the NFT appears seamless, Good job
Comment from : Tasty FishSauce

Thats great mate I'm a newby and finding the seed rearing a challenge particularly with nutrient strength
Comment from : ThatsRidicurous

I'm checking your channel for how you start the process from seed as I am new and looking at all the options to see what method is best for me
Comment from : hey Simmone

The mini pucks are a great way to avoid the net pots
Comment from : hey Simmone

Thanks for the informative video I'm just getting rolling (purchasing various components) and, though I was considering the floating raft system, I may consider swaying towards an NFT I will be using a grow tent so I was attempting to avoid the potential of "leaks" due to a water pump/delivery tubing/PVC/reservoir failure But again, I do like your system Specifics, such as the size of the hole saws used, are appreciated
Comment from : Anxious Beachbum

thanks for sharing
Comment from : Alexander Bancud

Wow, really smart with the pucks!

Now we know
Comment from : canberra dog farts

Not going to grow my own only to pollute it worst than the store bought Pool noodles are for pools There’s a reason they use rock wool and not pool noodles , it’s called toxicity
Comment from : Troy Gills

Thank you so much
Comment from : Rody Concepcion

You're a genius Because I did the same thing 😂 Little differently
Comment from : Thomas Filion

You gave it nailed down so well only improvement I could think of was adding overhead string support for bigger plants
Comment from : Ping Pong

Love ❤️ Thank you for sharing Generous man
Comment from : Paul Wilson

Thank you for this idea! I’m from the Philippines and Cocopeat in a styro cup is a common substrate we use I’ve adapted your idea and it seems to be working very well! This is awesome I’ll be sharing this with my fellow hydroponics enthusiasts Cheers!
Comment from : Travelling Eye Doc

Thanks Hooch! I've been using net pots and vermiculite for my systems Vermiculite gets washed out sometimes into the system and with your puck system it would make for a clean system! 👍
Comment from : Luke Boorer

Use clay pipes stop eating things that come out of plastic, that crap is poison

Comment from : Manna’s Free

I had a failure worth sharing I probably used a floor mat that was too sturdy, it strangled the steam of the seedlings
Comment from : BobLaTige

Genius idea Thanks for sharing
Comment from : Damon Clark

You sure they won't leach anything into the root?
Comment from : P

Hey mate I am working on kratky setup for veges and can't find Master blend 14-8-38 here in Australia I can get calcium / nitrogen and epsom salts What's the best soluble fertilizer I can get here in Aus? (marty srng me to you)
Comment from : Ryan Jackson

Love this method, thanks for sharing it I am trying to figure out the best way to germinate my seeds with a reusable material to use in combination with your Puck method That way everything is reusable and limits consumables and waste

ive never tried removing a seedling (cannabis) from the rapid rooter/ rockwool for fear of damaging it Im going to try this out Is that a DWC clone box? ive only put clones in in mine so far Good work!
Comment from : Ask MiName

thanks mate well done brilliant ideas
Comment from : James Dudley

I’m wanting to use my hydro system to start cut flower seedlings but none of the mediums are biodegradable and I don’t want to plant them in my soil Do you have any solutions for this problem by any chance?

thank you for sharing this video
Comment from : Tingtvph

A good one as usual 👍
Comment from : ramesh h m

Great and informative! I’m also a new patreon supporter
Comment from : Len Humbird

Bloody great idea Thanks for that Question, can you grow a number of various vegies in the PVC pipe system and what do you use for fertilizer and what is the strength (ppm or EC and the PH)? Ideally, I want to grow the various vegies a family needs in the same system, I understand that some vegies need more fertiliser than others, Any hints/ideas, please Cheers
Comment from : Cranky Franky

I use the pool noodles and like your idea of the longer version for stability
Comment from : Guy H

Short question, can I pass from propagation directly to soil???
Comment from : Pancho Lopez

try slicing up a pool noodle Put a cut in one side a crimp to the size needed, reusable, cheap as it comes
Comment from : john freeman

Hy from Brazil, thanks for sharing!brThis Jigsaw foam are 10mm of thickness?
Comment from : JOHNNY WEIDENBAUM

Mate, this is mint Fair play :)
Comment from : Brooke Lawson

Wow so nice,pls what type of fertilizer did you use ?
Comment from : Iman James

This guy is the best The reluctant tone of his videos along with him saying it to some extent in every video "i am not doing this for attention, but to help share gardening techniques" is perfect
Comment from : Dan Baker

Won't the foam pucks pinch/restrict the stem of the plant as it grows in diameter?
Comment from : TourPace64

Aren't those toxic??
Comment from : Ittamar Raphael

im still learning and new i will use this no time but great idea bro
Comment from : LetsGetFree TV

Did you intend for the pucks to look like your logo?
Comment from : Josh Stiemsma

great idea on using reusable item i was having problem in buying the rockwool again and again once it has been used it is very costlybrbrat least your system, it would be a one time startup and thats it no need to buy substrate again and again
