Summary

In this video, Mahobi TM demonstrates how to build a DFT hydroponic installation for gardening. The process includes designing the setup using SketchUp, constructing a sturdy mild steel frame, and adding a UV plastic roof. The system uses 3" pipes with strategically drilled holes to plant vegetables like lettuce. Key features include an emergency water reservoir, black hoses to prevent moss growth, and a nutrient solution for optimal plant growth. The video concludes with the planting process, emphasizing the importance of proper wick moisture to nourish the roots. A follow-up update on plant growth will be shared in the next video.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video focuses on building a DFT (Deep Flow Technique) hydroponic system for a garden.
• 😀 The design uses a wide, not vertical, installation to ensure even light distribution for optimal plant growth.
• 😀 The hydroponic system frame is made from mild steel, with two types of triangular shapes for structural support.
• 😀 The height of the triangular frame is 1.5 meters, which is similar to the presenter’s height.
• 😀 The installation includes a UV plastic roof, with a 2-meter width and 0.42-meter height.
• 😀 The system uses 3-inch pipes drilled with 5 cm diameter holes to plant vegetables like lettuce and spinach.
• 😀 Black hoses are used for water drainage to prevent moss growth and clogging, which can absorb nutrients meant for the plants.
• 😀 A pump in the nutrient water reservoir circulates water through the system, ensuring plants get enough water and nutrients.
• 😀 Nutrient water is dissolved using AB Mix nutrition for leaves, with an ideal TDS of 841 PPM for early plant growth.
• 😀 Lettuce is transplanted into the system with a wet wick of flannel cloth to help distribute nutrients to plant roots.
• 😀 The video concludes with a promise to provide plant updates in future videos, encouraging viewers to like, comment, and subscribe.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the triangle frame in the hydroponic installation?

The triangle frame serves as a support structure for the paralon pipe where the plants will be planted. It helps keep the pipe at an optimal height for even light distribution to ensure the plants grow efficiently.

Why is the height of the triangle frame 1.5 meters?

The height of 1.5 meters is chosen because it is approximately the same height as the presenter, and it ensures the plants receive adequate light and space for growth.

Why are two different triangle shapes used in the installation?

Two different triangle shapes are used: one at the bottom to hold the nutrient water reservoir and another at the top to support the UV plastic roof. This design provides structural stability for the entire setup.

What material is used for the hydroponic installation framework, and why?

Mild steel is used for the installation framework due to its strength and durability, making it suitable for supporting the structure and pipe system.

What size pipe is used for planting, and why is the diameter 5 cm?

A 3-inch pipe is used for planting, and the holes are drilled with a 5 cm diameter. This size is sufficient for growing vegetables like lettuce, spinach, and mustard greens, which do not require large netpot spaces.

What is the role of the black hose in the system?

The black hose is used to drain water into the pipe. Its black color prevents the growth of moss, which could clog the hose and absorb nutrients meant for the plants.

Why is a 3" to 2" reducer used in the installation?

A 3" to 2" reducer is used to create a water puddle inside the pipe. This serves as an emergency water reserve for the plants in case of a power outage, ensuring the plants can survive temporarily without electricity.

What is the purpose of using UV plastic in the hydroponic system?

UV plastic is used to cover the installation and protect the plants from harsh sunlight. It also helps in maintaining the temperature inside the system, ensuring optimal growing conditions.

How does the water flow in the hydroponic system?

Water is pumped from the nutrient reservoir to the plant pipes through a black hose. It flows from the first pipe to the fourth pipe, while the fifth pipe receives water from the first four pipes and flows it back into the nutrient reservoir.

What nutrients are used in the system, and how are they prepared?

AB Mix nutrition for leaves is used as the nutrient solution. It is dissolved in the water tank, and the solution is stirred until evenly mixed, with a TDS of 841 PPM suitable for early plant growth.
