How to Build an Off Grid Hydroponic System

👍

Victron products are notorious for overheating even when they have a heat sink. Best to not have it inside a plastic box without circulation. The manufacturer says it needs air circulation.

What Ai system to workout the calculations would you recommend as i can only find ones linked to price quotes for sola company's

did you get that free or buy it

Just going to put it out there, as a 3-ish yr subscriber, your videos now are pretty meh - stop flogging all the shite, i get you're trying to monetize your business, - your top viewed videos are about growing - why pivot? I subscribed for the stuff you were delivering, not the rubbish you now make
😊

Thanks for the great videos! I notice you have a large pond behind you. Can you use a similar setup for aquaponics using the pond and pumping the pond water rather than a fish tank?

Note: the agm system will still work if the battery's crap out.. ie sun on panel makes power runs pump not storage... The lithium batteries both use more power (on board PC that has temp controls) but will also NOT allow any power flow from panel to controller if the battery bricks or fails for some reason..

In your future I see an DWC setup on a trailer to pull behind your rig so you can have all the fresh produce you want while out fishing and camping.

Some guy on the side of the road as you go by...."Does that guy have a dragon fruit tree on the back of his camper? And is that a bee hive next to the still, WTF!"

If you're "off-grid", then why bother with hydroponics? Plants grow just fine in dirt...

Great video! Glad to see you doing the solar stuff. I built a small 1800w system on 48v lead acid (4x100ah with inverters in series)on victron gear and lived off it for three years with my wife. I wish people understood how effective a change in power usage could change reliance on so much power. We still had a washing machine, xbox, computers etc. so much is possible now! Looking forward to your results video!

Hoocho, my legit question. What happened to the yara fertiliser that you used to shared before. I'm from Malaysia. For me to get champerbell brand is really hard. Yara fertiliser it is really work?

great video, I learned a lot, Ive always wanted something like this but it isn't very budget friendly for me, and I'm kinda worried about how long it would last out in the elements so I'm probably not gonna try this, but I learned a lot about running pumps off solar and battery so cheers for explaining it in an easy way to understand.

nice one hooch! solar FTW.
what salads does walter white eat in that RV?

Does hydroland only ship to Australia I see the Amazon for USA but there aren’t many options

Just a quick q, is PVC food safe? You mentioned the NFT trays were food safe (can we get those in the U.S.?), but you're using PVC pipe and glue. The Internet doesn't give me a straight forward answer.

Cool project!

I'm not interested in a video that tells me to "ask AI" for any slightly difficult math.

Test comment critizising the bot overlords, to check if it will let me post it now

This is awesome! :D

i have a question. when setting up an outdoor NFT System like yours, does rain water affects the nutrient, PH, EC, etc.. ?

Great video! I've been messing around with speccing out a bike generator battery setup. The dream being: motivation to exercise since the plants won't grow if I don't go, and then you get the tangible benefit of healthy crops from all your effort! Would be AMAZING, but it seems that the numbers just aren't there with current tech. (although I'm a total novice and could be making all sorts of calculation mistakes)

That could make a great video if you'd want to dig in (pedal in?) deeper!

Hoocho, you mentioned a distributor of items in hydroland coming soon?...any idea when? I'd like to treat myself to a few birthday gifts!! Thanks for any- and Love the videos.

WHAT HAPPEN WHEN IT TOO LOW WTER TURN OFF

DID YOU GET CONYTOLL FREE

“Salad for your family”

$1000 to grow $20 worth of lettuce. Why? You can do that with Kratky for $20.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

bunnings 4ft maequee trestle table $33 or craftright folding saw horse 2 pack $40 as a base??

Dammit, i literally bought a lithium to do this a few weeks ago. Haha timing is perfect!

Personally 12v pumps should be more available than they are. Low voltage is nice for various use cases.

other interesting videos

My hydro is always off grid, its called Kratky,

Nice setup. I have a solar powered hydro setup without all that fancy stuff. I use a solar powered pond pump and use 5 gallon buckets with overflow spigots about 4 inches from the bottom. The water spritzes the perlite in the buckets and the reservoir at the bottom of the buckets store water if the pump is off more than a day or so.

1. I love your videos. 2. Batteries aren't cheap. Let's assume the battery you have there costs $1k. How many times can you charge and discharge? Will this battery last 1 year? Not to mention buying all the other equipment, is it economical to do this? I wrote this before watching, and I am watching to get the answer to these, because I have a battery, solar panels and bought the cheap hydroponic equipment...wondering if it's a fire risk plus would be more expensive than buying from the market.

YES ANOTHER BANGER HOOCHO VIDEO
