That's what I was gonna do, at my local hydro store the 5 gallon buckets are about 6$ a piece and at homedepot or lows I think their roughly the same price. Only down side is having to have an inner bucket and an outer bucket. Also I was thinkin of putting airstones at the bottom of each bucket once I go bigger. I saw another system that did that, and the plants seemed to like it.

google "heath robinson trees" he does dwc, ebb&flow, and major air all at once.. pretty fucking ridiculous. better than his vert grows by far..

your right on, plants love air in their water :)

Have you thought about just taking apart your old controller bucket and setting it onto a 5 gallon bucket instead of going out and buying a new controller unit? Later on I want to switch to 5 gallon buckets, and instead of buying a bigger controller unit I was thinkin about just pullin out the toggle switches and the cap controller and throwing it on a 5 gallon bucket. Throw some caulking on that bitch so there's no leaks. Idk seems pretty straight forward to me.

Your on the right track Insane but what I'm thinking of doin is using a 5 gallon bucket with a 3 gallon bucket is the excat same just shorter and drill holes into the upper bucket so it can get water and then use uniseals between the 5 gallon buckets and build a under current/ water farm using air stones and all or a ebb and grow with air stones not sure on the final design I can post pics of the buckets I got in mind if need be ! and heres the link to uniseals and btw they were made to work on curved surfaces bulkreefsupply.com

in that space im going with the titan flo&grow that system has 4 gal bucket and trees it will be :)
Killer I'm kinda thinking along the same lines as that and when they go into flower I was going to save a small part of the room to start up some more so when it comes time to harvest I have more ready to go kinda got the idea of how I want to do it but still up in the air sorta I guess it comes down to shit or get off the pot no pun intended ! :)

I don't have a problem using smaller buckets then the 4 gallons, but IMO if I'm going to do a bunch of labor to change it up I'd rather switch to 5 gallons or 4 gallon pots because their double the size. With double the size your able to get double the root mass and double the plant :)
Some monsters they shall be!

I think the 4gal titans are pletty of room for a much larger tree, im thinking of droping to 16 to 20 and going a solid 4 weeks veg then
trip them with my strains they will end up 4 1/2 ft tall and easy get 4 to 5 of each :)

I just finished my test grow with the titan. and I'm going to rebuild, more light and more roon, and I hope to do a grow journal. But I aggree that titan system was so nice, i'm cutting my organic dirt grow in half in order to expand the titan.
