On that note I know do you think green drywall and a thin layer of insulation fot the walls and ceilings but I know I'll have limited space in the container so I was waiting wondering if you guys had any advice on how to use minimal insulation and not fuck myself over also the lack of space has me leaning towards LEDS with COB because they can get much closer to the canopy. Also should I start a a separate thread for to this? If so I apologise

Hell even my massive flower setup with the 12 17 gal totes and 55 gal control res only uses 90 gallons.

I get away with a 12-15 gal veg set up, 6-10 gal mom setup, and a 25-40gal flower setup. I couldn't imagine using anything more. It doesn't seem necessary.

Anyone done a set up in a 4x8 tent? I would like to mount the control bucket on the outside of the tent.

I havent seen any tents with vent holes low enough to run drains through without lifting the whole setup off the floor, so it would kinda depend on what kind of setup youre thinking about using.
I just cut 2 "X"s in the side of my tent, pushed the pipes through and taped it up with flex tape.

Can you tell me what material you are using to insulate your buckets?

But using gorilla tape and cutting X's is a good idea. Just lay some gorilla tape down first to keep from tearing bigger than you want.

Those look like a great option too, now to find them in the US.

You only need a 2 inch hole for the control bucket pipe to go through. You dont need a hole for the whole bucket to fit through lol. Slit a 2 inch hole and tape up around it with duct tape.

That's basically just 2 4" vent flanges butted together and held with nuts and bolts man. Same exact thing. And a shit load cheaper.
Just install these flanges where you want your hole and cut it after wards once they're installed to make the hole easy. Or use a contrasting colored marker from the material and trace the circle and you could cut it just a slight bit bigger and would make it nice and clean.
You could put some kind of draw string sock on the end if you wanted as well. Glue it from the inside of the flange up around the actual flange so it's nice and professional like.
These ones are on Amazon.

Trying to find some sort of sock but to no avail. It'd be honestly easier to just get the little plastic spring loaded clamps from something and use the string too, run down to Walmarts fabric area and pick out what you wanna use. You just sew the string around the top folded down, leaving the ends out and unsewn for that like 1/2 inch. Sew down the side to turn it into a tube, cut the end like a metal duct flanges tabs are, and hot glue it to the flange. Tah-DaDah!

Id just use a heavy black tube sock. Match your hole so the pipe doesnt leave a ton of room. sock on the pipe through the hole. Maybe zip tie around the sock and pipe and then roll the sock back over the flange. Then possible zip tie rolled back sock to the flange.
