Do you think I'm ok in 3 gallon pots also what you think of this system it's from the bucket company
With your pots what do they drain into I'm having issues right now
I use 5 gallon fabric pots but you should be fine with 3. Not sure on that watering system as I water by hand. That said the pics you show seem to have all you would need to set up an auto watering system. It shows the pots as 1.2 gallon which I would worry about. I have my 5 gallon fabic pots on plant stands with trays underneath to catch runoff.

great, thank you so much. I was looking at this ....

Bud you have to figure out if you want led or hps type of light hydro and Doug know the biggest diff I use led myself my main reason is less power pull and lower temps than other

Are they like saucers under the pot where does the extra water go?

i would recommend against getting a kit. Start by researching lighting and growing medium. You'll usually end up with a really substandard light if you buy an all in one kit. We're asking about your budget because that will determine which light you get. Read up about the difference between growing in dirt vs coco-you should probably start with one of those over a "real" hydro system. You can have great results with a really simple setup and cheap nutes, like Dyna Gro Foliage Pro, but if your light is lacking, nothing you do can make up for it.
