size of bubbling buckets for DWC


Recommended Posts

OK, let me tell you something about 20L buckets, THEY ARE BLOODY BIG! too big to comfortably fit in my little grow cupboard in fact. I decided to go with 11L square buckets and 100mm net pots, one per bucket. reckon that will be big enough?

 

PS - had trouble locating a small water pump and float valve today, any suggestions on where these might be available? (hydro store was out of stock)

A nursery or garden centre will have the pump as a pond or small water feature pump, they may stock the valve too, or you could try a plumbing shop.

Get your float valve from a rural store, I dunno if they have them in the city's but out where I'm from you get them at the rural store for $30. The actual float valve is huge but you can buy a smaller shaft and ball for it.

 

the 11Ltr buckets are small, but should do for small plants.

 

I buy most of my hydrostuff from the local pet store, they have much better prices than hydro stores, and have everything you need to grow with bubblers, all I buy from hydro stores these days is clay balls, nutes, and lights.
