the buckets are 20 lt but I only fill them 1/2 way, the vegging tote holds 20lt and that goes a little bit past the ridge of the tote 1/3 up. I hooked a dimmer switch up to the vortex to vent heat and odour to the sewer and it works really well! I keep the mom in soiless mix only to keep the growth slower because once you "plug" another mom into its own hydrobucket its growth doubles. At the end of 60 days the root mass is about 20 or 24 inches hanging, and the roots I trim off each basket rolled up is the size of a baseball.

No one to talk too and I wish i had input,, please I follow the golden rule of not talking about my "hobby" to ANYONE but after 2 years I would like some outside opinions. I built a room 6' x 6' with a 7' ceiling in my basement and hooked up a 4" vortex fan with a dimmer switch to my toilet stack for venting and the temps run 86 to 89f during the day and low 70's at night. Inside this room I also built a cupboard just big enough to fit my mother as well as a rubber maid 20 Lt tote I cut 6 holes into for 6" mesh baskets and installed a pump Rating: 5
