I haven't installed the new fans yet, but these fans can be noisy. I had a 12x12 version that was amazing.

Have you tried sealing the fans with epoxy putty? That should minimize the bucket vibrations.

Good luck mate :)

Plants are looking awesome man. My bucket plant is mostly sativa as well. How much did yours end up stretching? Do you remove the fan leaves?

It stretched a lot, I'm using a two point anchor to keep those tops as low as possible. I'm using 3 spacers now, will probably need a fourth one down the road.

Training example:


Here is Gigabud at about day 45F.


And here is Vintage2k6! New plant, a few days after topping


Cheers! Click to zoom :)

I will have to try the 2 point anchor. Mine is about to outgrow its 4th spacer and since I used the square cat litter buckets I have no more until my cat does some more pooping...

Howdy fellow growers! Sorry for the lack of updates.

I harvested Gigabud a few weeks ago, got about 20g dry. A little bit of heat stress, the summer down here is brutal.


And here is Vintage 2006! Day 7 of flower after 6 weeks of veg. I'll keep updating with her progress :)

Anyone have a constant grow using these space buckets??? Probably like a plant every2 to 3 weeks???
I have 5 of them going but it's tough for me to schedule the harvests evenly. Sometimes they need an extra week, sometimes they're done early and I don't like to sit around on an empty bucket so I'll do a longer flowring sativa and then 4 months later, that throws off the schedule again and on it goes. I suppose if you were only growing one kind, it would be easier.
