Don... seriously mate.... just click the Grow #2 link in my sig. Full instructions on how to make a 5 gal bucket DWC. You don't even need all the fancy bits I put on mine. Cost $20 a bucket I think. Then you just need an airpump and some nutrients.

I think Advanced Nutrients are a rip off (Personal opinion). I use Dutch Master brand, but can't say they are better than any others.

EDIT: Start at post 55 in that thread. 88, 121, 128 are other posts to look at. Lots of bullshitting in that thread. I forgot how many more peeps used to be on RIU a couple years back.

Leg end jig ta! Been a pain trying to source the buckets...

Do you know any commercial painters? Most paint comes in 5 gal buckets. Wash thoroughly.

Oh right. I remember trying to find a 5 gal bucket in the UK. About impossible. You guys are pants at DIY stuff.

I think spending a few bucks on a brand new bucket would be better than scrubbing paint out of an old bucket. They are around 5 bucks and you wont have to worry about anything residual left over in your bucket

really anything that can hold water will work, just make sure it's has no light leaks.

I made a dwc for cloning and loved it, will get it running soon.

here you go. I might try the iglo one some time soon https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/366114-official-dwc-cooler-club-any.html

I think we all think that to be honest Chimone, but the suggestion was based on the fact that Don has been struggling to find said bucket for a couple of bucks. Plus, the only bucks we have over this side of the world are ones that run up mountains and have antlers

Jig, DIY in The Netherlands is 100x pants-er than even the UK! Fuk me if the MEGA diy store literally has a selection of 1 type of bucket to buy, lmfao. Saying that, it doesn come in 12 litres or 20 litre options. Finding a 5 gallon bucket for me was.....to put it mildly, FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE!

I'm glad it wasn't just me, not being able to find a fucking 5gal bucket. No shit... here in the states, I would say 80% of properties have at least one 5gallon bucket somewhere on the place. They practically give them to you as a door prize when going to any big DIY store. Bru, you would have a heart attack to see how big some of these diy stores are. Like 8 sq. miles lol.

most aquatic centres have big buckets for sale and caravan camper outlets, other than that supermarkets have big food grade buckets that they get there bakery bits in and most will give you them for nothing. my local hydro store stocking various size buckets now too.

Your opinion...DWC vs Hempy Buckets?

I am on a limited budget and see Hempy as cheaper and easier.
That said, price shouldn't be the sole motivating factor.
I want to try something besides soil, but I CANNOT afford a flop.

Just wanted to pop in and say High!! Been goin through alot of medical problems lately but still hangin in here. My tent is starting to smell up the house with 2 orange kush, 2 AK47, a royal chemdawg, and a cinex all about 3+ weeks into flower. Hopefully done a week or 2 before Christmas so I can refill my almost empty stash jars. Hope everyone's doin better than I am right now, atleast my garden is!

thanks for the tips 6! I actually have a massive bucket now about 30-35L ( don't ask me bout gallons?! ) but it's a bit too big... so i'm thinking i might cut a few holes in it, 3 sites nd run 3 of the same cut to avoid fuck ups in feed. what sort of size air pump n stone would you guys think for a 3 site bucket that big.

so i'm guessing i'll need to get a few bits of kit, ph meters and such, any old one ? I think I have an EC meter somewhere, i'll dig the stuff out n see, take some pics so you can see exactly what i'm working with.

from the brief research i've done what i would like to do would be have a waterfarm with an airstone in the bottom for double whammy action.

and jog, i was searching for ages trying to find which pages in the thread you meant then i twigged you said posts not pages post dinner bong to blame...

EDIT: hydro peppers on the front lawn on page 55
