Nice work wrangling that reveg into a quad. That can be a hard row to hoe!
That looks awesome!I use the old "drain pipes at the bottom of a tote" design. Works really well and has a large reservoir.
The 27 gallon version with 3 pipes has a 4 gallon fuel cell, plenty to leave it alone for a week at a time, even in bloom.
I've filled it to the brim before an 8 day vacation, and come back to a happy plant, no worries about the nutrient juices going stale.
Just in case anyone thought that design was too rudimentary to be excellent, it's the bee's knees.
Excellent!
I recommend a furniture dolly under it to help move it around, it'll weigh 100# when it's full of fuel. Also I drill holes all around the outside lip, to run garden wire thru for lst. It's been a great setup. Here are my current girls, happy in their homes. One in a 27 gallon, and one in a 13 gallon.
Yeah I would need a furniture dolly for sure. I tend to move my plants around over the summer. Can be hotter than hades one day and rain the next so I move them under the patio if needed.I recommend a furniture dolly under it to help move it around, it'll weigh 100# when it's full of fuel.

Are you stacking 2 buckets or just putting a res inside a 5-gallon?
Go big or go home!So for sipping outside with a photo it would be better to have a bigger than 5 gal. bucket ? I grew a Auto in a 5 gal. and it was alright ,didn't get big but there was some issues with it starting in another pot at the time .
That probably depends on how long you're going to veg for. Anything longer than say four weeks and, yes, you'll probably want to to go with one of the storage container options, 17 gallons and up.
I make a tall SIP using two 20ltr buckets and I've gotten my photo strains pretty big so farSo for sipping outside with a photo it would be better to have a bigger than 5 gal. bucket ?

Nice a simple and seems to work pretty well. I lurked around this thread for awhile and incorporated a few things from different builds and added my own twist on it.
I got rid of the cork bobber as you put it , I found the wooden skewer was getting mould on the side of it in the pipe . So I was a bit paranoid of it getting to the plant . And it turns out its not necessary outdoors as I feed them 2 times a day to keep up with their growth.
