Yes, the buckets that come with the ebb and grow system are two gallon buckets. It would be easy to convert the system to larger buckets.

The two gallon buckets kick ass so far.

Update with Pictures:

Well, it has been eight days since I last posted some pictures. The plants have now been flowering for 4 weeks.

This last week I was letting the solution level get down to about 20 gallons before filling it back up. I did this because the PPM was barely changing as the nutrient level dropped. I noticed that I had some very slight micronutrient deficiencies as a result (3-4 days between adding nutes). The oldest shade leaves on the plants, the ones on main stem off the bottom couple of branches turned yellowish with greenish veins. I noticed some scale looking crap on a couple of the upper leaves. Looks like I had a slight phosphorus and magnesium deficiency. This tells me that even though the PPM is staying the same, the phosphorus and magnesium are being used up disproportionately.

Lucas says that you should top off every day or so with fresh nutrient. The deficiencies I had were very slight and not too noticeable but enough to tell me to stay on top of topping off the reservoir. I wont let it go longer than two days now. Lesson learned.

Besides that slight oddity, everything is going beyond my expectations, as you will see in the picturese

Statistics:
Days Flowering: 29
PPM: 1300
PH: 5.6
Room temp: 75 daytime, 59 nighttime
Solution temp: 57
Humidity: 67
Odor control: Ona blocks/Gel

The plants are using between 7 and 10 gallons of solution per day. No elbow room left but each plant has a nice space and all are putting very thick buds. Well, IM half way through budding. Looking to be a bumper crop! Gotta love Lucas (and the ebb and grow!)

Here are some pictures, you can see the room is very crowded but very solid with buds. The third image shows a plant where an old shade leaf is yellowed as I described before:

How do you keep your plants from falling over? I don't know if you have this problem at all but I went to move one of my ladies the other day and she fell over and I had to tie her up... Anything you do to prevent this?

Some people turn tomato cages upside down.

I get a metal plant stake and stick it into the hydroton right next to the main stalk and use long twist ties to attach it to the main cola.

If they start falling over I may just have to let them grow however they end up, too much bud in the way to get to the back of the room. Might do a little tying this coming weekend but after that nature will take its course.

Hey, Ive endured worse problems.
