A lot easier than 30 huh? I forgot to mention I like the 3 gallon buckets. I have been thinking of using those myself maybe. I like the 2 gallon for their size but have to light proof them myself. I like the 3 gal and the lids with the net pot in them, I was looking at them the last time I was at the hydro store. It all depends on how big of a plant I end up doing. Also in the video it looked like the fan was blowing a little to hard on your plant. To much is not good either.

Don't know about the tips of the hairs though. Maybe it could be the nutes or just some of the older ones starting to die off.

Maybe next video you could have your friend in the shots. I think it would help us understand your set up better. You know, give it some contrast. What do you think guy's??

Just thought of something else. Have you flushed or rinsed off your roots at all? It can help with salt build up. I gave them a good rinse just with my tap water. I did it with my test plant every week just to see what would happen and it did just fine. It's a good idea if you think you have over nuted them also.

When i started using the bucket I had washed my roots off in bathtub water. I strongly think this is simple nute burn. I should have checked the ppm before i dumped the bucket but it would probably be around 1600ppm ...

i did change the water an hour ago and now i have a ppm of 1300 and ph of 5.8 .. I only had 2.5 gal of distilled laying around so i substituted by using 0.5 gal of bathtub gin.

my bucket is around 3.5 gal but 3 gallons of water fits good in it. Yes, I had 2.5 gallon of distilled water laying around and it was too cold out to hop on my moped and go get some more so i just used 0.5 gallons of bathtub water so i could have exactly 3 gallons. I consider my bucket my reserve. I only use the one bucket.. no flood method... no reserves.. nothing but a bucket, a sexy plant, some air stones, and a light. BTW i spoke to the lady and mentioned that there was talk to have her in the next video. She said she should have became a porn star and i told her its not to late lol

Sorry dude, I don't mean to go on about this but with that much water in the bucket you would be near the top of the net pot right? Bucket almost full?

As long as rubbermaid doesn't come out with a line of hydro stuff and boost up the price like hydro company's. I'm sure market research knows what is going on. But if they advertised them that way the government would probably try to shut them down.

They're both fun to ride until your friends see you on one.

Ok, back to the water. The level should be below the bottom of the net pot. Not that I've always done it that way but it is the recommended level. Where below the bottom is a good question. The only time I don't is when no roots are above the bottom of the net pot. Like after a transplant.
