I don't like wick systems. Not enough oxygen in the solution as with DWC or others. Also too hard to control moisture. Overall less yield in IMHO.

Yeah those buckets are great, but you will thank yourself later if several buckets share one reservoir.

right on ... it didn't take but a few days for me to see the advantages to tying the pots together, with an auxiliary reservoir ... I won't be doing that as I had planned, though ... xcrispi was right, one powergrower overwhelmed my cabinet :thumbsup: ... I'm building a new cabinet, and going down slightly in size, only going to grow one monster at a time, instead of the two, like I have now :D ...
