Hi everyone! I just got 2 new SF4000’s and I want to run 8 dwc stand alone buckets under them in a 4x8 tent. Last run (2 plants) I got to do a little lst training on them, ran about 5 weeks veg, the plants was of decent size, but the lifting of the plants to remove bucket to change out the Nutes became an issue because of size and weight of buds. Plus I would love to scrog! How do y’all do it ? Or should I try build a RDWC ???? Anyone wanna help me get this sorted out please ???

Buy a 10-20 dollar submersible pump to pump water, shop vac, drill a hole and add a hose at bottom of the bucket and tie it up till you wanna empty. Lots of ways

Ok so I get me submersible pump where I will just have to slightly open the buckets just to get the tube in to empty and refill using the pump. So if I scrog under a net I should still get enough play to lift corners a bit to use pump. AND AS SIMPLE AS THAT I CAN SCROG AGAIN! ?

attach a scrog net to the lid of each bucket. there's plenty of pics on RIU that are like that.
You mean like use pvc and build a personal net for each bucket ? I’m in a 4x8 tent so I was thinking just use two 4x4 trellis nets ‍♂

Lift lid, slide it a lil, insert pump or shop vac, remove water. Kiss
Ok I’m going this way. With a scrog net over them I really hope I get enough play after they lock onto the netting to still get that pump in the buckets to suck out Nutes and replace!
thanks for the advice growers !!!!

One more thing with these new lights I’m about to run for the first time! 2 SF4000. Do u think I should come out of the 4x8 tent ? To maximize yield ? Bout to do 8 plants under the two lights in said tent! Would u stay in tent or use the room itself ??? Some is telling me that the 2 lights is over kill for a 4x8 tent.

Don't short yourself on air exchange cfm and you will be fine.
As u mentioned that my fans are good enough but last grow I was pulling air out the tent back into the room. Found that when I vented the air out of the room I was throwing my cool ac’d air away and tent wasn’t staying as cool. So is that a big deal ? Am I shorting myself on air flow .. co2 etc ?

Don't vent out the room, just vent outside the tent. Your room isn't sealed and your ac always drawing in new air cuz it exhausts outside.

What I ment was get a fan capable of doing twice as many cfm as u need. Cuz when you put a filter on it performance drops fast.
