[BayLee420]

Whoa only 3 gal. After the first week or 2 you will have to add water every day. and you may need to do res changes more often

Yup.....

That's where you guys come in and help.

Whoa only 3 gal.

This is going to be a test Hydro grow with this set up. I am thinking of building a five gallon DWC set up as per Grow Weed Easy website.

You could just use a Rubbermaid or whatever type storage bin and make a 30 gallon one and go crazy...lol
This will be a good test run though to see if you like it. I think you'll be surprised at the increase in yield honestly. Not saying all DWC plants yield 590 grams but I get better results from hydro over soil...

That's the idea.

30 gallon one and go crazy..

The Stealth Armoire would hold a 5 gallon nicely...10 would be too large and 30 would be a job for @Rhyce Saroni and Rhyceland

Any size actual bucket would be too big but a style you have now is perfect for that.
Just be prepared to do training on them as they can get rather unruly in hydro...typical female teenagers

Need to calculate the HM Digital TDS EZ ppm pen. Got some bluelab 2.77EC (1385 ppm 500/ 1940 ppm 700) conductivity standard. Have the instructions on the TDS EZ on how to calculate. What number ppm do I calculate at 500 ppm or 700 ppm or ????

Man! Do I feel like a noobie.

Was at Lowes today and picked up a Rugged Tote Latching 10 gallon storage bin.
Internal Dimensions:Height: 8.5" Length: 19.3" Width: 13.7"
External Dimensions:Height: 8.8" Length: 24.2" Width: 16.2"

The SuperPonic is Height: 6" Length 22" Width 15" (External Dimensions)

The 10 gallon tote is only 2.8" (3") taller, 2.2" longer and 1.2" wider.

May just work.

You can drill/cut your own holes and limit light getting to the water. Less chance of light getting in and messing up your water.

Going to do this DWC Top Feed set up from Grow Weed Easy. http://www.growweedeasy.com/high-yi...nique#how-to-put-together-bubbleponics-system
Have all the stuff to do it. Drill the net pot holes and need a adjustable drip manifold as GWE instructions. Also I can do the same set up as the SuperPonic drain tube too.
