oh forgot, paint the buckets and net lids white with rust-olium plastic primer paint,this will help on the heat during the summer,setting the buckets on a piece of styrofoam or Al skinned foam insulation will help with the cold

Are you sure you want to go thru the lids with the feed lines rather than the side of the bucket,thru the bucket allows you to remove,rotate the plants without fussing with tubing fittings and making leaks???
Daddynobucks Reviewed by Daddynobucks on . Building a Aeroponic Prototype -- Need Help! Hello fellow Growers! I'm begining a prototype Aeroponics setup to grow a large Tomatoe (And soon Marijuana) plant from seedling to flower. I will be using a 5+ Gallon bucket for the initial Resevoir, and a smaller bucket which will sit on top to house the misters/sprayers/grow chamber for the plant (Or Visa Versa - 5 Gallon on top, Bigger bucket on the bottom) The resevoir will hold the pump, an airstone, and said outfits for wiring as well as tubing. The nutrient will be pumped up Rating: 5
