DIY Drippers: Drip Irrigation for Hydroponics

Have you experimented with drain to waste Everest? I am curious if using drain to waste you can prevent the need to adjust PH in your reservoir and also be able to control the nutrient levels better.

This guy spends 2k on just ph meters... Has a nokia...

Have you not tried a manifold

What plants are you growing in this vid like, for example, the vines with the lighter green leaves and tendrils?

I appreciate the info, but you sound like you're speaking to children. Kind of annoying.

If your lines are large enough to not suffer line loss friction, the pressure will be equal at all points regardless if it is a loop or not.

In your description you put 1/8 drip line but in the video its 1/4

I can't find rigid tubing can someone post a link

How not to use a razor knife video

As I go through my learning process I can be assured to find an Everest Fernandez video to shine the light of knowledge on my path. Thank you sir, thank you.

Love the "ricky" shirt. Good video thanks for the info

WOW , new as 25yrs ago lol . Ya did a good job explaining as usual tho hehe . take care bud

Hi.. Let me know pumps and water solvents

dude! the math is very intense.

where are the products listed that you display in your videos?

just a thought' would it be possible to make a system that doesn't use electricity for,the pump such as a ram pump? curious.

For all that money you spent on crappy plastic parts, you could have rented a small plot and grown real vegetables in the soil. Why make things so complicated?

Might be better to use olive oil as lube instead of dish soap.

Dip the rigid pipe and the micro tubing in hot water to make it easier to insert fitting.

Where is the list of supplies?

Have you used FloraFlex, if so what's the verdict? They seem to offer most of the stuff like the pump, dripper, and rockwool in a ready to make kit, besides the tray and reservoir. I received some discount codes from a worker who responded to my questions on their IG post, i'll put them here for others to use. It looked like a good deal with 30% off supplies and 50% off nutrients, so I just placed an order on their website. The guy said they never expire, and that they are releasing a new late stage bloom ripener called Full Tilt, and will be including it for orders that buy b1 and b2 from the floraflex website.

Cheers all, happy growing!

Funny and informative. What’s not to love! Thanks dude ✌🏼

Very bad job at explaining it i am sorry, and I tend to usually give the person hands up i feel bad person work hard to make the video ,but y did not explain it right or slow enough so a person can understand it ,it s seems y are having to much fun than explaining it right ,if I try to install it could not ,it was not explain right sorry bad job

Hey man. Really need some advice. I'm trying to setup my system and got a manifold setup with drip lines after going to local hydro store. The drippers were rated for .5 gph made by netafim. Im using 4x4 tray so i got a 350 gph pump as per the equation you recommended. After turning on i found no water coming from drippers. Does the equation for the size if the pumo only work if the drip emitters aren't rated for a certain operating pressure if 15 psi and up for example? Very confused sorry. I'm just wondering if a bigger pump would fix the problem.

You’re cheesy but you do it better than most. Thanks for the video

Wtf did this dude just say? Am I really that dumb? No clue

Cool but I'd just ask my tech buddy to 3d print me the parts

Thankssss

Why not just flood the table out a few times a day no chance of leak

if I am using just soil how much times should I water a day?

Dipping the 1/4 hose into hot water will make adding drippers and their nipple a lot easier.

Hilarious! Unreal! One of your best videos! Finally I understand. WOW!
😯👍
I am no longer intimidated by the concept of dripper systems.
THANK YOU for the parts list, too!
May all your pipe laying, nipple squeezing go well. ✌

You do all that work plant your plants and then you bite into it and it tastes like s*** good luck

Hot water for connections between pipes will help a lot

Puut the pipe in hot water jobs a good un

Everest - how refreshing it is to have an educated individual who clearly knows how to captivate the audience whilst delivering great quality information.
Keep the videos coming

Hey, I'm pretty late to this video, but I'm setting up irrigation to my plants I grow indoors(Milkweeds, peppers, tomatoes, and more) and the pump/timer I got off amazon just isn't cutting it so I'll have to run something like this I think. Curious if this pump would work for me..I am growing on a rack(vertical) so my setup will be alot different, and I'm not doing hydroponics, using soil

Hi Everest great video! Do you have a link for the inline filter?

There's no reason to go to the outside with that hose. all you have to do is have a fitting that screws into where it normally floods through them are threaded

I wonder where you’re at today. Can’t believe this is 7 years old

Oldie, but a goodie....just subbed, from the title, lol. Great video, I plan to watch alot of you're videos...any suggestions on DWC systems. I do have a single 5 Gal bucket with a 6" net pot. Have a 8w airpump with 2 stones. One is a 3" disc the other is just a .75" ball.Using Advanced nutrients M.G.B series I've ordered some big bud, and B-52. Have you used advanced nutrients? If so what should I add to the nutes mix. OH, BTW I'm cultivating some Auto C.O.P from Dutch Passion

This video has ruined the word "nipple" for me, but it does contain extremely concise but detailed and useful information.

please never talk about nipples like that ever again

Great vid, Does the main supply have to be in a loop or can it have stoppers at the end instead?

I can’t get water to come out the drippers it’s coming out the hose but when I hook the hose to the elbow on the manifold it doesn’t do nothing🤷🏽‍♂️

Do the holes leak that u have to put in the pipe? Regards

I run 4 of these spikes per 5 gal pot i have a automated watering and feeding system
