How did it go?

A few concerns, the foam firstly is a great idea in theory but not so much in practice due to root rot. Secondly, the tubing used should be black, letting any light in the water can be a bad thing. Otherwise yeah, good on ya.

There’s a reason why companies sell grade proof plastic buckets, you’re having people eat plastic now 😅also the tubing needs to be black or you’ll get algae. The channel Ditch the flock actually shows you the right equipment

Good luck keeping the algae from blooming. You need black buckets and a net pot that fits over the bucket to keep the light out.

With this bucket you will definitely grow algae on the roots. YOU MUST PAINT THE BUCKETS BLACK OR buy black buckets directly

Wouldn't you have to adjust the distance from the light as the water level lowered ? , so either add water or adjust height for consistency.

2 nails and some string will make a perfect circle

I wonder how much weight the foam can support

What if you wanna grow something heavy like a cabbage? That foam won't float then

Any reason why you used a paddle bit to make the big hole for the bubbler? You could just punch a 1/4" hole in the foam that just fits the hose. Leaves less area where the lights can reach the roots. I've been doing DWC in totes....water levels are a pain in the ass. This is a better method and for sure it is easier to water.

Is that bucket food-grade? Otherwise chemicals like BPA could leech into your food

As a grower I can see the following problems: Light leakage: this causes algae growth you will want a dark bucket with a lid. The basket should not be submerged in water this will cause root rot. Temperature is a huge factor again to hot it will cause root rot too cold it will stump growth

I love hearing from a grower! It sounds like its a miracle that my plant grew so big! It eventually got tall enough I had to suspend some little ropes down from the truss above my set and it only died one day when I had a power outage while I was out of town for a week so the air pump in the water wasnt providing the roots with air.. Good points! I guess the warehgouse is quite dark, most of the time, except for the lights that are specifically aimed at the leaves so that solved the light leak - and the heat must have been a coincidence to be healthy..
