T Dub’s Durban Poison Winter Garden

That's why I like hydro. No flushing. Just dump the tank and fill it back up. Only bad side of hydro is trying to grow sativas with indicas. The PPM's that a indica crave will fry a sativa. Learned that little lesson on my first indoor grow.

Hi Hippie,
I might have misinterpreted your definition of hydro since you’re talking about growing plants together. Is there another type of system that you are referring to?

I’m looking at these individual buckets (no water lines to leak) with air compressors. That would allow me to customize nutrient feed by plant based on deficiencies noted or anticipated.

I might take advantage of this Black Friday sale too….so I’m 90% sold on trying hydro. I like experimenting so I was leaning towards trying an earthbox. However, I don’t have a yard where I can work with mixing soil. Growing in water might work even easier for my grow environment.

This is what I’m planning to buy unless someone sees a flaw with it. This seems like a reasonable price compared to many others.

Dub, I built mine outta storage totes. For a 2x2, find a size that fits, then find a smaller one that will fit inside. If you flood one (and you will), it'll just go into the larger one. Keep a wet/dry vac on standby.
I only did it once 'cause I was stoned and didn't realize I was putting too much water in it 'cause it wasn't coming back in the reservoir tank due to roots that had grown in and blocked the hose. I had four tanks in a sealed 8x8 room with the rez remotely located outside the room.

I like hydro indoors. No bugs unless you bring 'em in. Check the grow first thing in the morning in clean clothes and stay out after you've been outside. Bugs are great little hitch-hikers.

I also grow in a basement bedroom.
I ripped out the carpet, though.
Run off goes straight to the floor, and evaporates.

If I wasn’t doing an EarthBox deep water culture is what I would be doing. These systems are pretty mature I wouldn’t worry about massive leaks as long as you double check all your connections. And if your tent

My floor is some kind of cheap plank. When I was experimenting with gravity feed I dumped 4 gallons overnight twice. The AC Infinity pan in the tent contained almost all of it and the small amount that got out didn’t spread. Still a valid concern which I share considering I almost drained my 30 gallon trash can full of water by back siphoning. I got lucky

I use to grow DWC in 5 gallon buckets. Worked great. Just have to watch your solution temperatures.
Mine were all DIY.
