I used to spend a couple of hours making custom insulated reservoirs out of 3/4" rigid foam and a Sterilite container covered in aluminum tape and weather stripping. Even though they sort of worked, they were flimsy, inefficient and hard to move around.

$8.99 for the cooler, $0.75 for the 2" rigid foam, $0.50 for the panda film, a netpot and hydroton and lastly no more than 10 minutes of labor and I have a new setup ready for a plant! By the way this cooler comes with a removable spigot for easy cleaning and a handy carrying handle. Even when filled with water the whole thing weighs less than 15 lbs. :)

not to try and hijack the thread here, as you all seem to be doing a fantastic job of growing, but i had a quick question relating to the OP's first post.

has anyone ever tried to "trim" a rootball in a hydro setup? not to the point of trying to bonsai a plant, but just to keep it managable?

apologies if this would be the wrong place, but i was getting ready to switch my girls over to 12/12 in a week or so and this was a question i had thought about already

I wouldnt do it but I have read where people do it, it will probably stress the plant .

haha, never thought of it that way! i definitely wouldn't grow a toe out the side of my foot to make up for that loss!

i think that i am going to let the males show themselves, then start to do some experimenting on them.
