How To Build A DIY Hydroponic System To Grow Food At Home

Описание: In this video, I am building a Hydroponic system using pvc pipe. This system will allow me to grow fresh greens and herbs year round. With the cost of food going up, and even the availability of certain foods, this system will ensure my family and I will be able to have access to fresh greens at an affordable cost.

I also will build a shelving unit for the system using 2x4’s. I have seen some people use PVC pipe for the shelf, but at this time in my area, 2x4’s are more affordable and I believe they will be stronger as well.

Things I used in this video

9 8 foot 2x4’s
Box of wood screws
2 sections of 10 foot long pvc piping
8 4 inch pvc end caps
¾ pvc pipe
102 L / 27 gallon tote for the reservoir

3-4 Barrina 4 ft 42 watt led grow lights: https://amzn.to/3v0X5fh
(the 4 ft lights can sometimes be out of stock, you could try the 6 pack of 2ft lights)

½ inch pump hose: https://amzn.to/3FERaBC
(sometimes it is hard to find a small roll of tubing online. Your local hardware or hydroponic store may be able to cut you a smaller piece for cheaper)

Eco 396 water pump: https://amzn.to/3j4fOE3
(this is the pump I used, add a ball valve to limit the flow or find a pump with a lower output)
