I don't mean to be insulting man, it's just that to me that's an overkill, and spending so much money for your first grow, well, to each his own......best of luck and I'm sure you'll have a decent harvest...grow on my friend.Looks real good man! Initially I was going with a 10x10 tent but the 5x9 ended up being more practical. I have the CAPS Monster ebb system and they come with 5gal buckets! I know Ill run out of space before use those pots anywhere close to capacity root zone wise but Im about 10k in right now and adjustments will have to come later. This is my first run on my own and a new setup all together so I have a lot of learning to do but Im getting there.
By the way I have ebb and flow buckets
Just meaning to say a 5gal bucket is unecessary, that's all, you could of used a smaller container saving a lot of grow gubes.By the way what part is overkill? IM here to learn! Im not a pro or even close but Im not clueless either. I welcome all constructive criticism.
