I've put a small 3 gal pot inside the bucket. I drilled 5 holes in the bottom of it. It's going to sit inside the paint bucket, and I will be able to remove it when necessary. The beauty of it is that I will be able to water the bucket, it can drain water from the 3 gallon pot into the paint bucket itself, and by doing so, it should keep a decent amount of humidity in the pod. I am also considering pouring water into the bucket, then lowering the 3 gallon pot (holes drilled) into the water. There (in the 5 gallon bucket), I will also keep an air stone bubbling away.

...I'm really starting to consider aeroponics for this setup... I'm just not so sure I'm ready.

I plan on putting 2 more bulbs in on the side... But honestly, two bulbs will be fine for now... I also plan on lining the interior with foil or mylar (considering mylar for safety purposes). I'm not worried about the odor from one single plant. I'm sure that a $1 pack of incense can mask the odor sufficiently. Thus far, I'm up to 10 bucks. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it :P

I'm pretty sure that odor control will be my biggest challenge. I will do what I can. There's gotta be something I can work out. I'm open to affordable solutions. There's gotta be something...

you can buy activated carbon at any pet store place it in mesh bags and put it at the fans it should help absorb some odor not all but its still cheap less than $10 for 1lb even though thats half ur budget lol

They cheapest thing ive seen is 10$ shop lights a home depot with a 2700k and a 6500 k bulb and a home made bubbleponics system made from pvc, hose, rubbermaid container, hosing, sprayer heads, etc. Even that system was nice and cheap to build but still prolly cost like 200$ once you include mylar or panda film, timers, fans, pumps etc.

Theres is a DWC systems using a cheap black 5gal bucket and 6 cheap cup thing with 1 air pump 1 airstone and some water and a small thing of superthrive i bet you could make a 6 plant dwc system for 20$ and then just put it outside where light is FREE ! :D

Walmart and the dollar store make most items around a dollar or less only the 5 gal bucket and the air pump are over a dollar really.

do i win ? :D
lol
