Hydroponic Gardening and More with Brent
I’ve had some interest and questions regarding the vertical towers and how i constructed them so I created this video to show how I did it. As I said in the video, I think this will work out great. I’m still working on different plant tolerances and spacing in the vertical growing towers. I hope to improve my grows. Thanks for watching and share what you have to say and ask any questions you have!

Hydroponic Gardening & More with Brent
Hello there sir, I am just wondering if the ppm of the strawberry is the same ppm as the lettuce? Do you change the nutrient of strawberry when it's the flowering stage?
I'm just starting out with this myself. Great to hear that like me, you are still learning and fantastic to hear that you say it is a viable process. Totally agree.
So up tell did they work..would like to know the pros and the cons… just so I don't make to many mistakes.. thanks again
Good day.. how often do you change your rice hulls..like your system… I live in the Philippines and am limited on what's there.. but have a shit pot of rice hulls..thanks
Hi can please tell me about the heat gun that you used thanks
Brilliant tutorial. Can this tower be used for hydroponics?
How do you give nutritions ? That is filling up with a rice medium and giving a drip on top?
I keep reading (on the web) ppl talk about ' Food Safety' issues if using PVC pipe – is that really a concern – – or just a paranoid thingy ???
hi! very inspiring video. i would like to know what is the water & plant ratio? say for 100 cups how much water should be in the water reservoir?
Love your video. I used to live in AR for 15 years. Love your AR razorback shirt too.
5:00 genius idea with the string. Better than using a set square on a table anyway
Question: Skipping a plant – does that build up algae/fungus inside of the unit because of light access? Also, I couldn't see for sure – is this schedule 40 or 20 PVC? If 40, do you think we could use 20?
Great video Brent!
That was great I wish you long life
Great method for creating the holes. Why are you using soil in aeroponics system?
Hello good day so do you use net pots or what type of growing material do you use for the holes
This is really wonderful. I liked your process and crisp narration, which greatly helped in understanding about vertical planting in a short span of time. Thanks for sharing
Wow, this is the most simple effective design I've seen. I have seen the slit heat dowel method. This hole heat dowel method seems easier to form the pockets with less heat time and less tearing risk. As mentioned, the tower remains more rounded than the slit method. I love it!
Nice work. hope soon I can implement it
Hi sir,
I would like to aks you some questions? Why do you make roles? In other channels the people make just slices not roles. How much watts has your heater? And how the system works? I mean, inside the pipe, how the water flows from top. Do you use any kind of sprayer?
Thank you!
Hi Brent! Thank you for this wonderful video! I have been looking for how-to of vertical NFT rain tower that is not complicated and I found yours. I was really in awed! Bit question here, with the 3/4 inch hole – what size of pot did you use? I am using 2 inch pot.
Thanks. You've inspired me to try vertical. 🙂☘🌲
You can get a good heat gun from Harbor Freight for $9.99
Just wondering, why don't you use net pots and forego potting soil all together? I'd like do a similar system and I'm trying to figure out exactly how to mold the PVC to hold a 2" net pot.
if I use Coco peat inside the pipe then how to plant sampling and how to water them sir….
That's Good product.
Thanks for the video. What kind of medium do you put in the tower ?
Thanks, man! We are doing a student research project and this is really helpful. My question is, can the holes be made larger? Obviously we'll need a bigger drill bit but have you used a larger hole size? Also, you're only heating the bottom half of the hole and stretching that so that you can clean it easier, right? Thanks again.
You didn't add watering system to your planter
you dont have any new video about how to control PH and PPM…? as i m new in hydroponic i dont know how to setup these all for growing the plants
what water pump you using?
very good idea for make it hole,,,and look clean and easy…thanks
very good but i didnt understand why the pipe did u made last year didnt do good is that becouse the pockets inside prevent water to arrive roots?or wht
love this idea, will give it a try. thank you
