My plan is to use 2 22gal Rubbermaid tubs the usual one on top of the other, with 2 3 bulb light fixtures with all cfl's. The only thing I want to try different is change to hydro, but keep this nice compact hidden grow box.

My first idea was to put a smaller tub inside the 22gal and use a lid to mount the 4 baskets. and use a bubbler system to get the nutes and oxygen to the roots. :thumbsup: This is my fav idea.

Idea 2 was to put 4 seperate pots and due a drip system.. I don't have alot more with this idea because i've never delt with drip so i have more reading to do. :jointsmile: yeah.. you get it.

So far those are my only 2 ideas and more thoughts or tips or links would be great. I've done soil a few times in this same setup, but I want to see if i can do it with hydro now. Thanks in advance for any tips.

your gunna have major problems with space, even normally its tough to do a rubbermaid grow, but with hyrdo you cant ScrOG or LST, and on top of that hydro is gunna make your plant grow like mad, your gunna need a huge resevoir for the roots and shit....other then that sounds rad:thumbsup:

Sure he can but hes still going to have space issues either way. Going to be a tight manicure job.


As to what system to use. They are both good.

yeah, i'm slowly coming to the realization I may have to go back to soil.. boo. I think I could do the dwc bubbler with using a smaller tub inside the bigger one. With 4 plants From what I remember I think i could do a scrog with few problems but the lst would be very tuff. I was thinking of maybe upping it from the 22 with a 15 gal to something a little bigger with the 15 gal in it to give the babies a little more room. Thanks for the thoughts. Once i get started i'll post some pics to keep everyone updated.
