Bubblers as in dwc? I use 27 gallon totes from Home Depot in a rdwc setup. Used them in dwc as well they are great.

Yes that's what i meant . How many plants per tote?

I do one or two per depending. Using 8 inch pots. I can easily fill one of those totes with roots.

You have any pics of your rdwc iv done hydro before in wilam and iws flood and drain but never made my own ..

That depends a lot on what kind of light(s) you're using, and if you plan on doing a scrog. If you have a powerful light and the room, you can have a single plant per container. If you are using T5s, and plan on doing a sog/scrog, you might space several small netpots close together to fill out a net.

Tell us a little about your environment and light.

How long have you been using the 27g tote? That’s what I’m using but I’m nervous that it will split open.

For more than a year. They’re really sturdy at least the hdx ones are. Where did you get yours? The sterlite ones are no where near as strong.

Hdx from the depo. I was using 5 gallon buckets last time. So this feels less sturdy than the bucket.

They won't split. They're super strong and people have been using the HDX totes for years without issues. The only real problem is the yellow lid. It let's a lot of light bleed through, so you have to cover, or paint the lid.

Good to know. This is what I’m currently doing. I may take the side supports off for my next round.
