Like I said, 8 buckets. No, a 10 gallon bucket will not increase your grow any unless you get root bound in a smaller bucket. Which you won't. You can even do 3 gallon bucket.

Your area though is actually too big. For your two lights ideally it would be 8 x 4, so go with 7 x 4.
herbie the love bud Reviewed by herbie the love bud on . Most possiple plants under 2000 watts. so I want to put as many potted plants under lights using DWC methods. Should I stick with individual buckets or should I got to multi potted containers such as rubbermaids? I have 17 air hoses with air stones that I can run. What is my best bet at running a good DWC setup, 17 individual buckets or like 12 individual and a few rubbermaids that can hold 4 each? Rating: 5
