Krusty Bucket LED Grow

[McLuvin]

Please keep us posted on your grow. As you know I am way into LED's and what they can do. BTW you might want to check out these 14watt panels I have. They are 12x12 and only 1 1/4 inches thick. They make a sweet outer lining for your grow room.

Keep up the good work!

Krusty Bucket LED Grow So while I wait for my LED modules to arrive, I'll continue detailing my other plans - this one involves the infamous "Krusty Bucket." The Krusty Bucket idea is simple - two buckets stacked inside of each other, the top bucket has holes drilled into the bottom, and it is filled with your preferred medium (typically expanded clay pebbles.) An air line is run into the bottom bucket and hooked to an air compressor (I have an air stone in mine just to help maintain DO levels,) to provide Rating: 5

LIGHTS ARRIVED!!!!!!!

So, I slammed a 120w panel into the almost 2x4 cabinet. I've got 15-18 inches of headroom so plenty of space to trim and train!

Gotta make a second krusty bucket for the larger plant that did not go into the PC case (the runt and the other planned one were of same size so I figured I'll just use those in the PC case.)

You know I just realized if I want to boost the medical quality I need to find some UVB diodes to drop into my boxes somewhere.

Ah well, no biggie if I can't get any.

250mm for the Krusty bucket, 210mm for the DWC.

I topped the plants and made those into clones, and raised the buckets.

Now I should begin getting the growth I'm after. I was just waiting for the tops to be sizable enough to clone.

Sweet little grow. I love Micro Grows. During summer I want to build a 2 or 3 chamber micro room for breeding. Or at least get started on the plans.
Looking forward to seeing how this grow turns out :jointsmile:

Meh, late update, sorry.

They're bushing out! Almost time to drop these back down!

What if you used leds like chritmas lights on your plant?? Is it to hot? I remember playing w/leds young.Ez wiring and no heat ,and dimmable.

Not enough power, typically not right on the money wavelength-wise, either.

Unless they were some ultra-bright 1w diodes, then they might work.
