Can you apply this to sugarcane??? I haven’t seen a hydroponics system that grows sugarcane. Would like to have your advise. Thank you sir!!!!
So Dutch buckets can operate at continuous flow?
I thought they had some kind of drip irrigation that only operated a few times a day (3-4) & required a timer on the pump(s).
You videos Superb can understand easily thank you so much Sir
Hi sir
How do I calculate the water pump Capacity?
What is the best type of fertilizer if you need to add extra nutrients to the plants but not killed the fish?
In the alternate method say you only wanted 5 buckets instead of 20. Easy, use a ball valve to control the flow to the buckets, then plumb the excess into the deep water tank. Done. I don't know why you didn't see that option.
Hi, please send me a pdf file to build a small greenhouse, and plant breeding and nutrition principles. Thank you so much.

Alternate method : how about an over flow pipe at the end of your run of buckets. Just in case you didn't want or have room for 20 buckets?
ok question…..in the gravity setup….. can you connect the dutch bucket and DWC in parrallel, add a ball valve to regulate the flow going to the dutch bucket then connect the outflow from the beds back into the sump on a gravity system? of course you need to calculate the flow rate into and out of the DWC to compensate, but this could be done? would this negate the issues of needing the heavy duty pump and make it cheaper to run? also wouldnt this still need a biofilter before it flowed into the dutch bucket and DWC?????
Would like to ask what is 8 by 4 system means?
This isn't accurate. It should ALWAYS go FISH – FILTER – SUMP – PLANTS…never ever split. Never go from PLANTS – SUMP – FISH. Your asking for massive problems. YOU ALWAYS NEED A SOLIDS FILTER….
What is the point of the fish? Thanks
very good vid. thanks my friend.
Your awesome my brutha – thanks for all your time and effort I'm learning alot
Hi there. Not to ask a biscuit-headed question, but I'm brand new to aquaponics. In the alternative gravity fed model, could you split the output of the fish tank and route the split directly to the dwc so that you could scale your Dutch bucket system whenever you want while maintaining the required flow rate? Thank you for these great videos. I'm learning a ton, and excited to get started.
Hi, what is the best set-up for an off-the-grid, no electricity, manually cycled aquaponics system? Thanks!
Totally stoked with all the generous info you are are providing us newby's with!!!!! I'm contemplating setting up a system with my son (bonding &healthy eating), and it seems you got it dialed in, as only a God would. My biggest worry now is not having the power go out as hurricane Irma blows through…so I can keep watching your series. Keep up the awesome work, I seat awaits you in Mt Olympus!!!!!!
How often should i cycle the water in my DWC?
On the alternate system, how about just bypass the dutch buckets with 85 gallons/h and let 5 gallons/h go to each of the three buckets? Or would that need a solids filter before the DWC?
can't u just put the pump inside the tank in the alternative option. I have it that way
awesome vids m8. Thanks a lot.
why sump tank pump pipe go two way? especially tat pipe is go to fish tank and clean water? I'm a beginner.
how would you do this same thing but replace it with flood and drain media beds instead of dutch bucket system . thank you !!
