Ralh3 makes the switch from 600w hps to 23 3590s

I could probably make myself cut it down to 10 gallons, same length and width as the 18 just way shorter, but cant make myself go 5 gallon buckets.

18 Gallon green rubbermaid roughnecks should work out pretty good correct? Looks like Home Depot has a great price on em right now

I did 27 gallon tuff boxes with the yellow lids, because the sides bowed out on the others when I filled them with water.

I cut a round hole in the top, cut the spacer section from the top of some Homer buckets and at it in there to use as a collar. Then I got netpot bucket lids for the plants, these fit right on the collars.

I used foil covered foam board with a hole cut out for the spacer to cover the tub, help insulate it and keep light out of the root zone. Add a layer of panda film above that to reflect light back up.

Example;

Wifey was quite impressed with the root development as well being less then 10 days old and all
