The Bucket Company?

Seen lots of "pros", but has anyone experienced any "cons" with their setup? I'm looking to turn a spare 9x12 room into a flower room, and I'm debating between using their 3 gallon manifold kit or using their 15" runoff trays with 5 gal pots. I'm worried that the 3 gallon TBC buckets might keep the plants a bit too small. The 5 gallon TBC buckets will be barely too big for the room based on measurements. Looking to setup 2 rows, with 5-6 plants in each row so I can pop seed packs. Planning on growing in soil and using Roots Organics Terp Teas. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Read up about building your own RDWC. Use square buckets for easy bulkhead fitting placement with no leakage. Way cheaper than the kits from that place. Build only what fits in your space.

Hey sorry for bringing a thread back from the dead but before I made the plunge and bought some bucket company gear there wasnt much I could find in the way of reviews so here goes. I got the 22" runoff trays since I grow large plants in a scrog and wanted to keep my floor space open instead of being taken up with big trays that would only hold 1 plant each anyways. I looked at other options for self draining saucers but finally pulled the trigger on the bucket company and honestly I love their runoff trays. The construction quality is very good, they come with drain hardware and feet but even without using the feet, just sitting them on the ground they work and drain very well. Also really easy to disconnect and take outside to clean after a run, much easier than dealing with 4x4 or 4x8 trays. Also very versatile, can make plant spacing whatever you want it to be instead of being confined to tray sizes. Probably the best part is they are ready to roll, no building a tray stand or drilling the tray out for drainage hardware. If you sit them flat on the ground your gonna want to use 3/4 tubing and will only use the 90 bulkead fitting they include and put the 3/4 tubing directly on that instead of screwing on the included t fitting.
