I'm using tomatoe cages on the top of my buckets for support
tinytoon Reviewed by tinytoon on . 5 gallon plant props? for 5 gallon hydro bucket, I am doing DWC and the damn things are getting too big ;) my method is I veg for awhile in rubbermaid tubs with 5 inch net pots. When they get 12-24 inches, I take that out, and into a 5 gal net pot it goes. I wind the roots in a circle in a 5 gallon net pot, set the plant all the way on the bottom, and add hydronton on top and the damn things fall over.(coconut is even worse). I grow them tall at 4-6 feet (inc buckets). am I potting them wrong? right now, Rating: 5
