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.

These 8-13 gallon buckets are what a lot of the hydro guys are using nowadays.

These are basically what Current Culture H2O systems use.

Cat litter buckets eh? Interesting

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;

Holy crap I cant remember the last time I was this excited.. And so it begins

Also went with 6 17gallon HDX tuff boxes with the yellow top for the units

Bout situated with the seedlings new hole in the wall. It'll have to do for now

Getting started on the flower bars. Should be finished with first pair about 10 mins after I get done with work, I shoulda got extra drill bits earlier, 7/16 dulled after 4 of the 8 plates

Harbor freight. Buy another titanium nitrade set for $8.

Should have named this Ralhs No Love/Attention cxb3590 Grow lol I don't give any time to em at all . Added 3 new seeds in where a few didnt want to take. Started off a little bit too light on the feeding but they are much happier now


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