SS....my solution of hookin the buckets together is dirt cheap... Picture this, you have one row, 3 buckets per row.....wit me ? Now in the first and second buckets you are going to drill two holes, one on each side (front and back) of bucket. Last bucket in the rear gets one hole..... Now, you put them gromlets (1.00 each) with some silicone goop on em in all the holes ya drilled.......Now, you stick hose through each gromlet. You can put a wire tie on each hose where the end sticks in the bucket to keep it from ever sliding out.

So you have one row of buckets, all hooked together, and one hose commin from the "front" bucket that you are going to T in to the other 2 lines commin from ya other row of buckets.

Hell, if ya dont have cash, sell few hundred bucks worth of ya stash to a few friends.

SS......here is a link to a bucket system that is almost exactly what I am proposing you do, minus the controller unit.

http://www.hydroponics.net/items/det....asp.....check out the .pdf on that and you will get mah drift.

I swear you will grow trees in 5 gallon buckets. 4 footers filled with bud should be a piece of cake for you to pull off with that 1000 watt light.

Have your mom, take clones, clones in veg when flower is mid way thru or so (strain dependent), and you chop one, move rooted clones into flower and a new crop is ready in 8-10 more weeks.........AND, you should be harvesting at least a pound per grow. If you are not over a pound per grow, you have issues.

pH/TDS tester is a must have item for hydro. I dont give a shit what anyone tells you. Wingin it aint the way to get there from here.


And, if money is really that tight, grab an air pump, toss some airstones in buckets, and change manually. I mean if cash strapped and cant afford to get equipment, then I am out of ideas. I am terrible at some type of ghetto rig design.

After my first grow I would have a second 1000 watter and move them buckets to a 6x8 footprint or so and grow even bigger trees.
bongerstonerd00d Reviewed by bongerstonerd00d on . latewood, crispi, weedhound.... asuming you would veg for thirty days, how much room will one plant's roots take up? is it possible to do more than one plant in a 5g without getting bound? i'm in the process of learning new tricks, if you haven't deduced that already... any help is much appreciated. here's the particulars. i'm going to be doing dwc, hopefully nine 5g buckets in flower in a square under a 1000w hps, will be vegging under one or two 400w mh with solarmax gold bulbs (blue spec with added red, works wonders).
