Hey guys, I have an account with the grass city forums, but I thought you might be able to help me a little more! I have a ton of 5 gallon buckets I plan on growing in this year outdoors. My spot is a little bit of a pain to get to, so I found some instructions to make self watering containers and I was thinking of giving it a try. Has anyone had any experience with self watering containers and auto flowers that could give me a hand? Thanks!
Outdoor Self Watering Buckets?

Welcome to AFN LittleRicky! :smokebuds:
i'm sure somebody will be by soon to offer some advice. Haven't used 5gal buckets for self watering containers myself, but it sounds interesting. Any way you could copy/paste the plans for it so we see what you mean?

cut the bottoms out and sink it in the ground/swamp and dont water... What is your outdoor environment? What Lat?
yes sir! i'm posting the link to the instructions below. and its not so much sinking it into the swamp, i think that may be a little too wet and the roots might rot easier. Also I'm at 41 degrees N. Thanks again for the help!

Ive purchased some self watering pots from the local gardening store and was pretty suspicious at the time but after potting my plants the soil was damp for over a week without top feeding, and the plants seemed to love it. unfortunately we never got to finish the grow in them because of hte damn LE but will be using them this round im setting up today and tomorrow with high hopes!:check:That's great! Well, good luck my friend. I think i'm gonna give it a shot!
