I'm a dirt guy myself but that looks more like a cloner than to complete a grow in, imo the roots of 4 plants in a bucket that small would hurt growth as well as yield just my opinion. But it does look similar to the cloner I made wich works great by the way for getting clones rooted and going before transplanting into soil.
I've never grown with hydro before, and I just finishing my my first indoor grow (with decent results). The same company makes a cloner using the same bucket, but instead of
4 spots, there's 8. And there is a drip system too. It's $50.
I just want to grow 2 small plants per bucket, I've seen smaller hydro setups, including one that has just a 2 gallon res, and six spots for plants.
I have seen grows done with that, on this site even, with decent results, and it was their first time doing hydro. So 2 plants in 3.5 gallons should
do as good, or better results, providing the strains and lights will allow that.
Im grabbing this man! thanks for the post.+ rep
You can make one for about $15 cheaper. That's what I'm doing. All you need is the bucket, lid, net pots, medium, air pump, air tubing, air stone,
and of course nutrient solution.
I'd go for a bigger bucket, but I have height restrictions.
