Also i meant to ask about your girls that are in veg i didn't know you had girls in bloom until you said something but those are some sexy ladies in your bud room but i have to ask why grow so few plants?

I could see how maintaining more then a handful of singular dwc buckets could be majorly time consuming especially in flower when they can easily use half the res in a day

Yeah I only grow for personal use amd im kinda new at it so I dont wanna get overwhelmed! And yes at day 50 some of flower they are drinking the entire res everyday practically, when I get home from work both are all the way down so fsr that the air stones arent even producing bubbles!!!! And sorry I didnt reply I didnt even get a notification that anyone commented!!!! Sorry again! And I also only jave 2 going in each room because they are completwly touching all 4 walls!!! And im hoping for 25 or so bags but we will see!!!!

You may want to think about rigging up some automated way to have addback done while you are at work to avoid the big girls drinking the res down to where the nute levels are toxic. Im thinking a cheap water pump ($10) in a small tote bin or bucket with a digital programmable timer ($10-15 at Home Depot) they are programmable in increments of one minute so no worries for running you pump dry or flooding you buckets

MAn that seems so much more than I wanna do, but yeah I think this go around when I get the little girls into flower im gonna try and find a bucket thats bigger that will still hold my net pot. Without using totes!

You're running 3 gallons right? 5 gallons have same size lids

Any bucket bigger than your 3 gallons that fits the same net pots will be taller though

I run 3 gallon in veg then when I hit flower I just throw the lids in 5 gallon buckets. I dont think I need to waste nutes in a 5 gal during veg because they dont really drink that much. But in flower they are in 5's5's

Maybe just get some elbow joints and attach your two buckets to another bucket or something but either way it's worth the trouble so you dont have to worry about them drinking the bucket dry while you're at work

You do have floor space to spare for sure i assume considering you have only 2 buckets on the floor

Buckets have like a 12" diameter and theres only 2 of them. No matter how much those plants fill the room there is space from the floor to the top of the bucket right? Unless your plants bend down below the bucket
