Switch from Soil to Hydro

[spysmasherr]

Grew in soil using 3 gal buckets-one plant per bucket.
Switching to deep water.
Can I stick 2 plants in a 5 gal bucket? I have room on the lid for it with 3.75" pots. Could get little crowded but what the hey hey hey.
Thanks.

They may fit in the lid but I think you'd have a nightmare in the bucket. I have 2 White Widows currently in deep water and each one has filled the 5 gallon bucket with roots. Theres no way 2 would survive properly, at least not in my system.

I plan to do this as well when I give DWC my first crack. Instead of a bucket, I plan on using a 30G cooler for 2 plants and a 5G pail for my recirc reservoir. Water temps will be my biggest battle and an insulated cooler (and recirc lines) will only help (at least I hope so). Good luck!

Good info. Thanks .. Being first Hydro grow I'll keep it one plant / 5 gallon bucket.
Curious what temp should the water be at?

My water temps run pretty consistently at 69 F this time of year. That seems to work well for me. I've read a few times that a general rule of thumb is high 60's to low 70's.

Good luck with your grow. You should consider starting a journal for your grow. Probably the best way to get help from some of the most knowledgeable here on the site.

It's gonna be great. Indoor and outside guerrilla style...

Good luck, you will love the benefits of DWC! And be sure to start a journal. I'm three & a half weeks into flower now on my first grow & I would have never been able to do it without all the help I found here!

No journal here. My revolution won't be televised. I'm a result guy, not a process guy. Now if you saw my journal from 1980..wooooh.
