DWC tub size?

[Taylorplayer]

hey i happened to have two large rubermaid storage containers that are 181 L capacity. they are about 3 and a half feet long and 1 3/4 feet wide. i was planning on doing 5 plants in each tub.

are these tubs going to be to big?

Too big because of the huge amount of nutes you will need.

alot people seem to use this formula
1gal/per plant + 1gal/per 2 ft of growth.
so for 5 plants a ten gallon from start to finish is common. or seeing 5gallon inlined buckets with 8 foot trees is common too

Good formula based on good reasoning. +rep
