bucket in a bucket is a great set up.i have these spaced a lil far becouse i can...but they can also be packed in.2 gallon buckets.if i had it to do over...i'd get black buckets.makes it very easy to tranfer plants from one room to the next.and is available thru NGW (national garden wholsale catalog)as a complete plug and play set up...i have used the same bucket set up for my soil grows only the tubes were drain only instead of flood and drain.

I always liked that system...Nice. That extra room they get, because you spaced them right has to help with the lower parts of the plants, and keeping airflow going to ward off pests...'eh?
yep ...my high (but not too high) humidity deters the mites also.bout 60% currently.I also remove abunch of the lower branches that wouldnt produce much anyhow.
hey everyone, thanks for the info. i haven't been here to check this thread for a bit but it's the weekend again so i'll be around . i have been researching and i think i am gonna build and aero table very similar to the aerflo2 systems. there is a great howto article in the new cc mag. the only thing i can't seem to locate on the internet or locally are hydra connectors.
latewood, you say you would only do 5-6 plants in a 4'7" x 4'7" space with 1.4kw hps lighting? how long would you veg them. i grew 4 plants in my 2ftx4ft 400hps scrog and veg time on them to fill the screen was usually 4-6 weeks from rooting. i was thinking about 20 - 30 plants vegged for 3-7 days to fill the new space. at least that's how it would work with my soiless grows. i just can't see 5-6 plants filling the space unless i vegged for alot longer than a week. although i have little to no hydro experience and you seem to be the expert here so i definitely value your advice . you recommended about 16 plants. i could build a table that has 4 rows of 4 plants but i could always build a table that has 4 rows of 5or 6 plants each and just leave a few sites empty if it turns out to be too muh after i get through the 1st grow. i still have a couple months too work all this out so i welcome any and all thoughts on the matter.
