planning next grow, opinions/advice

[SSDIPainGuy]

I am running hempy buckets, 4th week of flower, just went from 400w to 1000w hid, want to change things up because my girls suffered a little from water mgmt early on. I'd like to switch to a drip system but keep the buckets. Dumb idea? With my setup I can't come up with a way to make a reg system work with a pump or drain return to the res. I hate to waste all those nutes. Here is my current setup: 3 buckets in the tub, 3 right outside the tub. It's a small room off the master bath with a toilet and shower. I guess I could have 2 collection trays, one in the tub one out with 2 pumps to return the water to the res. Any thoughts on that, something u might do if it were you? Thanks guysAttachment 295821 the picture is sideways, my phone is turning it for some reason, sorry.

There is so much stretch on those plants, how close is the light, what light did you VEG with? Is that the only space you can grow in? I mean...looks cramped, and last time I checked people shit in bathrooms. I also haven't tried hempy buckets, because I hate growing in non-square containers. Find a different place to grow is my first recommendation.

Well in response to your detective like observations, yes, people do indeed shit in bathrooms, but I'm rich, my house has two of them and this one is off limits. I vegged with a mh bulb, which was never more than 12" from the top of the plant. The tall leggy ones are sat dom. And they stretched like that when I switched to flower. However, the title of the thread is looking for advice on a future grow, not please tell me What u think I did wrong on this one. There are plenty of well respected members that have told me this grow looks good. I do appreciate input, as long as it pertains to the question I asked. Its kind of like u posting a thread about what types of soil people like, and I reply, your grow looks crowded. It just doesn't make sense does it. Have yourself a wonderful day my friend.

I think I'm leaning towards dwc, but I will need to tweak it if I want to do a scrog
