Man, I watched a random video months ago about growing ginger and turmeric out of pure boredom, and now Hoocho is one of my favourite channels. Love your work mate! Your videos hit just the right balance of educational and inspiring - in the sense that you're teaching us how to do something while keeping it accessible by using cheap and available hardware that we can actually try out for ourselves what you're teaching us. Super cool. Also just calling it out, I think you're off-camera planning for the channel is super impressive man! So many of your videos take weeks to film since you're filming the plants actually growing, and yet you're uploading practically once every two weeks. I had a look and we're in the 17th week of 2024 at the time of this comment, and you've posted 10 videos already for 2024.

100% one of my favorite content creators. His energy alone is great but the knowledge and innovation can help so many people. And it's entertaining!

Oh hell yes, Hoocho you've designed my dream herb garden!!!!!!!

Keep up the great ideas. You have quickly become my favorite hydroponic destination.

I put a tee with a valve at the pump to divert the water back into the bucket instead of restricting the flow.

Hoocho when will the buckets be in the US!!!!!!! I NEED these man.

Been watching your channel for years now and so great to see the progress. Living the in the United Arab Emirates, acquiring hydroponics solutions locally for residential use is not the easiest. So, in order to support your store and based on this video..... IT's TIME.... I have ordered your Multi Bucket... (Even though you don't deliver internationally.... Shop and Ship does and I use them across the globe). I'm looking forward to testing these buckets here and maybe even becoming a UAE reseller later if I find enough interested people here. FYI, run a small 3D printing company here and enjoy your 3D to Hydroponics adaption.... Keep it coming.

That might actually be something I could convince my apartment building to allow me to get! That's great!

The wall is looking great 😊

Your ideas just keep coming and we just love them

Nice 1 Mr Hoocho. Excellent build for a compact setup. Have a super long weekend.

I just thought last week about how wonderful it would be if you had a vertical system as we're moving into a home with a smaller yard and here it is. Thank you!

Just ordered my second set of Hooch Buckets. 🎉

I LOVE IT! Yes, your obsessive nature is also contagious. I am doing so many hydroponic trials this season and I'm thrilled about it.

This was the one I’ve been waiting for! As soon as I saw it in the back of a video I bought it the bits but had no idea about vertical drip feeding 🤦🏼so many ideas! Thanks Hoocho!

I love the system. I suspect you will have nutrient flowing out of the buckets as it runs off the leaves below. To prevent that put a piece of tubing the diameter of the net cup running between the bucket above (with the net cup inside of it) down to the bucket below, so that the flow of nutrients bypasses the leaves and drops into the media.

Great creativity! THIS IS THE WAY. Great job Hoocho!

Hooch!! Ive been waiting for this one! Mate, it would be so good if you could try to create a system using hooch buckets for people who dont have utes/live in apartments where its difficult to get in long tubing like rain gutters or steel pickets and things. Like a challenge! Maybe a friend of yours has a small apartment only accessible by a tiny staircase, and you can only use like a tiny suzuki swift or something to get all the stuff in and out the apartment. Maybe height restrictions could be taken into consideration too. I know youre a man down for a challenge!

Love this. Hooch for president! a tiered and staggered multibucket bato system would be dope lemon. maybe your muti bato syphon could connect to a 3d printable square watering halo with a quick disconnects

I like the looks of the new system. Perhaps the poles could be PVC. Also what about using a very small "mini submersible water pump" with 1/4 inch tubing in the poles and running it all the time. No timer, quieter and cheaper.

Yessssssssssssss you bloody legend! Going to get some of these on the balcony!

Great video as always. There was a company or group called 3dponics that made something similar to this and used an airlift pump to power theirs. I just thought that these could be made longer on one axis and be troughs for planting also.

Great build. If you want to make it even neater you can run a 6mm drip hose from the res to through one of the pipes all the way to the top bucket.

Hey Hoocho, I really appreciate your channel and I have learned so much from you. When you started talking about your wall of hooch multi buckets, I envisioned them with the pots connecting it all. I'll try to explain what's in my head, but it might be challenging. If you set up five pairs of poles, you can have three buckets U-U-U, then above, you could have two buckets off set -U-U-, then you could have another row of three buckets U-U-U, and so on., Basically the pole going through the right of the top bucket would go through the left of the bucket below it and the right of the one below it...etc.. It would in essence look like: U-U-U -U-U- U-U-U -U-U- U-U-U I don't know if that makes sense or not. Just really like this system. You are doing great!

You can also use shaft collars but it's of course more expensive

Brilliant, Hoocho.

Dang. I wish I could get that bucket in the US... I'd be all about it

I kinda feel like the system would be better served with LECA balls, but then you’d really have to be on top of keeping the reservoir full. That being said nice build. That being said we’re jealous here in the states. We want hooch multibuckets too!

I love your videos and the amount of effort you put into them. It's a whole project start to finish and not just a little video with "who knows how well this thing will work but my thumbnail implies it's the next best thing". Anyway what is the Latin name for the curry plant? It does look like what I think of as a curry plant.

Super sir

You rock dude. Keep up the good work!

Top vid. I think strawberry's.

How well would a pipe fit to the base of one of those buckets, if we wanted to have the mini-reservoir off to one side, or if we wanted to avoid the nutrient mix free-falling in the outside air where it might pick up algae spores (or cause possible leaf-burn)?

Bravo 👏 outstanding

Boss made a video about saffron cultivation

What’s the rate of level by level water use? Eg if 500ml goes in the top bucket only about 100ml might make it to the bottom bucket, as such level will absorb some and not pass it on. Do the buckets need to be planted accordingly to water living to more water sparing?

❤

Have you ever tried growing ground cherries or elderberries ? This design would work perfectly for them sir .👍

Was the second "you'll also need a bucket" on purpose or an accident? It made me laugh

Won't the roots of the bottom net cup plant stop the float switch from rising

Just found your channel, new sub👍 Do you use any organic home made nutes?

could you pump the water through the metal tubing?

How much in Australian dollars did you end up investing to get the first batch of these injection molded? Estimated obviously

Your Canada link for Amazon is not working. Says it's deactivated. Just so you know. I was looking on your site but you do not have any shipping internationally. so I take it you do not ship anywhere else other than Australia? Thx

i would say u should hav som sought of feet on the bottom of the pipes to stop them going through the bottom of the bucket

Hey mate what is Galvanised Stainless steel. 😁😁It can only be one or the other. Galvanised will not go good in the nutrient solusion. 316 Stainless will do great though

I don't understand why we, here in USA, cannot get your Hooch Multi Bucket sets. I have requested information on your Hydroland website a few times, but never get a response. I'm sure you have many American viewers.

Love your content Hoocho. Question for you... I recently became a Patreon member and downloaded your print files. How do you separate the parts in those files to print them out? They are all lusted in one single file.. Scratching my head what action in AutoCad to use to enable separation.

I think so, he designed the legs of the bucket to fit over both AU and US downspout.

I'd be very surprised if you had galvanized stainless steel. 99.999% of the time they make galvanized steel or stainless steel but not both.

First!
