Need to get a humidifier I Thanks! Room is almost completely light proof with lights off, still seems to be a few trouble spots that I am going to fix up with aluminum tape. Currently running at 30% RH, which I know is super low. Either because of waterlogged rooter plugs or humidity is too low. Currently I have two theories for the stunted growth. Feedback welcome!Įdit: Looking at other peoples day 8 pics, mine should be a lot further along it seems. Will post progress here soon, looking forward to figuring out nutrient concentrations in coming weeks once cotyledon are shed. Chances are I might evolve to a cloning tote and they'll be a little bit farther along and will be easier to transplant into 24/7 irrigation. That is if i'm starting plants in these buckets in the future. I think possibly in the future I might trim off a bit of the rooter plug so that they can get oxygen sooner if the plugs get water logged from 24/7 irrigation.

We recommend clay pebbles as, in addition to the great water holding properties, the additional weight also adds stability to the bucket and plant roots.Hello everyone!

Q: How does the Dutch bucket hydroponic system work?Ī: With Dutch bucket hydroponic systems, buckets are spaced along a common 2” outside diameter water collection pipe. Ideally you can grow more plants with a lesser amount of water if you are using the technique properly. In a Dutch bucket system multiple plants/buckets are arranged in the same row and are connected by the same irrigation line and a drainage line circulating back to the reservoir from below.

Dutch buckets are especially useful for vining crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and larger plants.
