    The seeds were started in rockwool grow cubes and then moved into the grow system once the plants got about an inch tall.

    Hello,
    I was wondering if you used a growing medium or did you just put the seeds in the netting or did you buy little plants and put them in the netting?
    Please answer as soon as possible I would love to build something using these instructions

    Dear Sir, thank you for this great video, It was so much more amazing to see stuff like this as opposed to mindless reality tv. You are inspirational. I may try a beginner’s planting.

    Very nice and thank you. I plan to replicate what you did but i think I’m going to try using a solar panel to power the pumb.

    Yes its only intended for smaller stuff like lettuce, basil. Larger crops would tip over and clog the pipes. You are correct.

    What sort of plants …
    What sort of plants did you grow? I can only imagine smaller ones with less root systems as those pipes don’t look large enough to grow a full sized plant.

    It’s a pond pump I purchased at Lowes. I’m not sure of gallons per minute, I just got a pump strong enough to lift the water 6 feet.

    Yes, please see my Dutch Bucket video. That may work better for you. Yes, you can space the holes as much as you want, depending on plant need. I use Fox Farm liquid nutes, the directions for usage are on the bottle.

    Sir,
    Can I take a baby plant from a pot, and put it in this system?
    if not, can you redirect me to the process of growing plants in this system from step 1?
    and also, your system has 6 holes in each tube, can they be longer? shorter? more holes? Less holes? and where do i find the nutrients? and what are they called? and how do i measure? ….
    Thanks. Sorry for the begginner Q’s.

    your vid is helpfull as i am intrested in doing this. its so eco friendly and has been around for thousands of years. thanks and keep up the good work my frien. GO GREEN.

  17. BrownsABQ says:

    Yes you’re right. …
    Yes you’re right. You just drop the rockwool directly into the hole. I actually cut a piece of fiberglass window screen about a 1.5 inches wide and about 6 inches long and “draped” the rockwool cube with this screen, then lowered into the hole. Makes removal easier and also stabilizes the cube. I’ve got a close up picture of this in one on my videos. Since this is NFT is runs 24/7 365.

    Very nice, but how …
    Very nice, but how do you put the plants in the hole? do you just put the rockwool with the plant into the hole? How many times a day do you run this? And when you do how long do you it for?

    I heard you can use air with fog instead of water.

    I used a standard pond pump, from lowes.

  23. BrownsABQ says:

    I’m too cheap to …
    I’m too cheap to buy this stuff premade, so I used standard PVC and a hole saw ( drill and hole saw bit) to drill the holes. I cleaned the edges up with a file and sandpaper. The holes for the nutrients is just a standard 1/4 inch dill bit to fit the irrigation tubes. To germinate seeds, I soaked rockwool overnight, placed seeds in holes and placed in a germination tray with a wicking mat and lid. Hit the seeds with flourescent lights 24/7. No nutrients on seeds or seedlings

  24. matthewstatonbomer says:

    Couple of questions …
    Couple of questions… first of all, with the flow tubes? Can you buy them pre-drilled or did you drill the holes yourself (the grow chambers) as well as the holes for the nutrients/water to flow into? What kind of pump do you recommend? Can you germinate seeds in the rockwool/nutrient solution?

    have you done tobacco? if so did it work good in this system.. thank you
