Well the biggest is best if yield is a factor, but a nice 18gal one is best.
Grow Big and bloom, you don't need Tiger Bloom.
The roots will take over the tub not just a couple inches

The package that you order comes with enough nutes for a smaller yield, 6 months worth (i.e. vegetative and bloom). I ordered 2 packs because I wanted to let her grow more (longer vegetative state more vegetative nutes required). Now, if your asking about 5 tubs at once, yes you will need to purchase some more. Also, pretty sure the mix is for 6 gallons of water. If you have a bigger tub then you'll have to adjust accordingly.

alright more nutes next time i guess. also for now im still waiting on all my stuff to arrive but got some bag seeds i wanna screw with right now.. can roots grow through foam? like lets say foam from one of those faom paint brushes.. or will it be too hard for them? i also bought some pea pelts there like dirt and just add water to them? which would work better? or will iether of them work? waiting on rockwool to arrive.. and if the net pots are metal is that a problem? was just going to use some pencil holders for the time being lol till my net pots arrive. there wire mesh.. also some gravel from the alley?? HAHA i know poverty but i just feel like screwing around till the real stuff gets here.. 2 weeks?? i hope faster.

No, I don't think they'd grow through the foam. As far as the netpots being metal? Well, remember it's water. You'd be far better off with plastic. And for sure you want to invest in the Hydroton grow rocks. Don't know why, but man they work like a charm for giving the plant something to wrap its roots around.
Being an old guy I'll say this, "Patience hoots123", in the mean time, build a strong stand for your tub. So when when your ready to change water and nutes, stick a piece of garden hose into the tub (with plants) and siphon into drain tub below. At this stage you can also use the hose a a vacumn for the bottom of the tub (get rid of excess matter and old nutes). Let the roots airout for about fifteen minutes. Refill the tub through the netpots its the easiest way and it gives the roots a good wash. Watch your girl/girls grow like mad. If I can help I will. Ask away.

well i made a mini setup until the right supplys come lol i just dont have the patients to wait around for a few weeks. so ill get a early start and move them over after.. here is my mini bubbler. i put 1 seed in there and started it up with light.. will it germinate with light and consant water/bubbles?

also got 4 other seeds in paper towel been 2 days now and no roots.

i also read that see through plastic is no good for a tub the Roots hate light?? guess i wil be taping that up and using tubs of differnt color for the next one this will just be temp.

welll.. that didnt work to well finally got my net pots and a new pump and some hydrocron rocks.. can anyone tell me how i could secure the tubes down so they drip water on my rockwool.. they seems to just shoot all over the place or move around on there own..

should i submurge the netpots deep enough so that water in the tub is always on the rockwool?

right now my tubes just seem to shoot all over the place even when i adjust them.
