How-To Build your Own Hydroponic System for Beginners. I tried to make this system as cheap as I could and as simple as possible. It was a learning project. I could have used other tools but used only the ones I had on hand.

  5. Hydro is only more water efficient than soil for large scale growing. For small number of plants hydro uses alot more water and is actually quite wastful compared to soil. Soil plants use as little as 500ml per day. With hydro system you have to have enough water just to cover the pump. YOu will find hydro is not more water efficient than soil on small grows only in commercial setups and those results are comparing it to fields being irrigated.

  20. @hayworth111 thats a 24 hour thing man. And one thing he didnt mention is that you want to get rid of that water every 7-10days and replace with fresh water and new nutrients. Also when emptying container, remember to clean it. With warm water and a towel to clear out any remaining things from last water. ANy other questions about hydroponics message me!!

  21. Awesome video.
    I’ll probably try something similar one of these days, but I’ll prob use different containers. I also wonder if the plants eventually got too heavy for that lid.
