Bulk Hydro veg set up

Thoughts?

clear tote and clear tubing?

light leaks in every green bucket too.

Guess I wasn’t overly concerned with all of this. The dro seedlings are kicking the soil/coirs ass in terms of growth and root development.
They’ll only be in these for about 4 more weeks until I can cut down my flowering room and switch all of these to their own 5 gallon bucket and kill the weaklings

I plan on scrapping the tote as soon as I can switch to buckets. Just a cheap and temporary veg chamber

you could paint it at the very least. or buy a similar black tote. unless you want algae.

Right on, would a landscape fabric tarp work? Just cut a slit to slide it over the tub/buckets?

Or black painters plastic/black plastic landscape stuff?

i'd use the krylon for plastics spray paint. black first, then white to reflect heat. you want it lightproof. and then switch the tubing over to black too.

Those all look stressed to me. Algae is a problem if you can't black out the containers. Are they just sitting in water? Add a very light amount of nutes. Probably getting overwatered. They shouldn't just be soaking in tubs. They should be suspended 1-2 inches over water line

thank you, thank you, but they’re actually killing it, almost double or triple the size of the coir or soil ones. They look a little weak in these pics cause I just topped em
