I may be wrong, but it appears that the pipe you have chosen is not for potable water use. It is drain pipe and thus is not chemically safe for use for growing food. Safe PVC needs to be used.

You are correct. This was addressed in previous comments and replaced. The pipe in the video also sags easier.

@Jarazek4 жыл бұрын
Has anybody grown like this ever had the roots from the plants get too massive, as to where they slow the flow of the water, and cause the water to rise up too high and leak out, leaving the res almost empty the next day? I considered an overflow/drain, but the problem is still that not enough fresh water is flowing through the pipes... I have tried everything except for trimming the roots, as they are the size the plants need them to be, but if I have to trim them I have to, that is the last thing I want to have to do.. Oh yeah, I flood them for 15 mins every 2 hours, and I leveled out all 4 of my 10' four inch pvc pipes, now I know I should have raised the first, and went lower as I go along, so gravity helps the flow... Any tips or suggestions?
@1aday20084 жыл бұрын
Hi. you are doing a flood and drain. This will cause an increase in roots as they grow to seek out water and nutrients. This build is a constant flow system. As long as you have good aeration your roots will be healthy and not grow massive to cause issues. Hope that helps.

@@1aday2008 Well I found a temp fix, I got an intermittent timer, and I measured how long it takes the pipes to start leaking around the netpots, and that is 1:11, so I have the pump on every 5 minutes and let it run for 50 seconds, so far I am not losing costly nutrients every time the pump comes on.. Next year I'll go 6" pipes, at least for the zucchini and squash for sure. And I'll make sure to raise the first part of the system above the other pipes, and have them go lower till they reach the end/drain, that way gravity is on my side as well.

hello! i just built a similar hydroponic system where the pipes are level and has a constant level of water -- did you run into any issues of the roots not getting enough oxygen/are too submerged in water? where does the water level hit your net pot? thank you!
@1aday20084 жыл бұрын
No. Oxygenating the water happens 2 ways. 1. With the use of the bubler. 2. With the pressure control return that allows water to immediately return and splash into the tank. the second black hose coming off of the front supply line. Bottom 1/4 of net pots are in the water. But you can put them deeper and it is not an issue. Roots will not rot as long as the water is well oxygenated.
