O-zone generator is an expensive option. Or just a bunch of ona blocks, although over time that will be an expensive option as well, they run at close to a tenner a piece and only last a month or so when used to their potential.

alternatively just stick some tyres in a metal bin and set it on fire in the hallway for a bit :)

you cant. the best you can do is mask the smell with air freshners, the best and its not cheap is 'ona' its cums in tubs of jell and various other ways.

Ona neutralizes not just masks the smell, i've tried all types of masking bits and bobs and they last like 20 minutes then it gets nice and stinky :D

i got tips from a few people i here, mostly billy and ttt. its a piece of piss so far. fill bucket, add nutes when needed, empty bucket once a week, i dont bother with ph although if ur gonna be in sumwhere with hard water then i believe its a must, i had alittle nute burn about two weeks ago but its fine now. the first couple of weeks i found i was checkin them all the time but at that time the Indian summer was playin bloody havoc with the temps. after the roots hit the water they just went mental, the leaf production is way in excess of any soil grow ive seen, ive got 3 soil running alongside it , same strains and there all around 2/3 of the height and at least half the foliage. the roots are fuckin huge compared to a normal soil grow. so far its been very good and all continuing well it'll be my grow method of choice . ill know the yeild returns in 7 or 8 weeks but so far they look well healthy.

I have a shit load of buckets rob, when it comes to a res change i mix a fresh nute batch up in another bucket then transfer the plant form the old to the new. If your gonna make a 4 plant box then sit it on something so it raises it off the floor and fit a drain cap to the bottom of your res and attach a hose, piece of piss then mate.

so if i was to use this http://www.therange.co.uk/80l-storage-box-&-lid---red/grn/household-storage/the-range/fcp-product/14911 for a DWC i could just fill it with nutes and water then add a airstone/pump and cut 2 holes in the top for 2 net pots ... thats it ?

I'd say forget that. You will not have fun emptying and filing that. And at 80L that's a hell of a lot of stress on the plastic, you're not gonna want to nudge it too much. I also found that bigger the reservoir, bigger the floor flooding wave when you nudge it too fast into a certain position. I use nice 40L i think, and give them about 20L of water, each is about 30cm by 50cm and will hold one mammoth plant or 4 small ones if you're very careful. Still a strain on the back though.

If i had the space i'd set it up so that one central reservoir kept it all topped up, you can get a damaged plant pretty quick if it drinks up it's water and ya cabs hot.
