I can get most pipe work I expect, I have pots. Bubble buckets? @Itisi advised me against those as a noob to hydro... He thought I'd be better off starting with a Wilma. The only thing I don't really like about one is how close together the plants are - do you have to train them outwards so they've got enough room to spread?

Sang and itisi are the peeps to ask about that I only used to grow 2 at a time on mine I'm a firm believer less plants more light bigger yeilds and I used the Wilma with coco so really my first adventure with hydro proper was bubble buckets it's a lot easier than people think I'm only dropping hydro because I can get more autopots and coco in my tent I want to try and harvest every 6 to 8 weeks I'm greedy like that [emoji111]

The plants will adapt to the environment, a little training will assist them.
The plants use parts of the red spectrum to 'see' which way to grow, red light doesn't pass through foliage but far red does. If the top of the plant sees far red but no red, if thinks it's being shadowed and grows up. (That's why led keeps the plants squatter.)
I get almost the same yield from 2 plants as I do with 4 in the same space, depending on the strain, but because of the law of averages, normally have a better plant among a four plant grow. I will be running another wilma grow soon.
I found the main problem was keeping an even canopy, so I supercrop them. Keeps them even.
The wilma really is a lot easier to check, just lift the lid to access the res. With buckets it generally involves lifting the entire plant up to get to the res (you can adapt them like Wile, so you don't have to do this).
As long as you keep the air flow up crowding of the plants won't give you too many head aches.

Hey Wile, did you detail the build of your bubble buckets? Is it somewhere on the net? Or shall I go ask witchy?

It's in his thread (not sure which one). It's a bit like the adaptation I made to the pots I use.
It allows you to check the level, drain it and take samples for measuring. It's still not as simple as the wilma(lift the lid and stick your pen in) and your first grow will be in summer. Ask any bubble bucket user how much fun keeping the bucket temps down is, you don't have such an issue if your roots are in a medium.
The biggest issue is the constant hum from the pumps if you are sleeping anywhere near the grow. No matter how quiet you make it, it will find a way of making noise!

Make a rule of taking, say, 3 cuttings each time and picking the best. But why not a bonsai mom?
