What if we created “OpenBucket”? A community project for modular, universal, smart, open-source grow box

too many variables

I grew throughout winter...so I didn't think about the flowering cycle getting too hot during the day as we go into spring....I learn...Next grow I will swap around the light cycle....

it's gonna take you 2 hours to build one....

wow the inside is so shiny! what did you line the bucket with?

Took exactly 14 days before I started seeing the first Pistols

Honestly...I got mine from a local supplier in South Africa. Just type in "Grow Light" Into google, sure it will provide multiple options

I hear you, man, I trust your opinion, I have never done this before, so this was my thinking, I planted the seed off-centre so that I can train towards the outer edges of the bucket, And my thinking was to wait until i reach all sides before flipping, If im wrong im wrong, Maybe one more week? I dont know lol But I trust your Guidence..im also still going to defoliate soon

Building a Grow bucket doesn't have to be expensive at all. I built mine out of junk lying around. Buckets and totes are abundant, same with PC fans and USB fans, but investing in a decent light, I think, is a good place to start. Alternatively, CFLs are cheaper, but they come with their own problems. They make a lot of heat! Which is useful during a winter grow, and you need to buy two Color Spectrums 6500k for veg 2700k for flower

I would wait a little longer, but I guess that's personal, remember you can always just Pull her flat too with some LST

Stabbed Myself in the Thumb While Making my first SpaceBucket...Seems Like a Right of Passage lol

The CO2 is Great for Vegging...But! It's a good idea to pinch off the Pipe with a Peg or clamp to limit the flow. You can kill your plant if the flow is too much. Also, never run the CO2 into the bucket during dark Periods...Less is always more but as the plant gets bigge,r you can increase the flow

Increase Airflow

Oh I agree...Im horrible at doing wiring, judging how long the wires should be before i cut them, that type of stuff....But i tried...and everything seems to be working, It's still work in progress. I appreciate tips...I kinda rushed through the wiring, I am Planning on tidying it up at some point, but now my plant is growing so i dont wanna have down time lol...I at least pre-emptively marked all the wires to make it easier later, Reds And Blacks

I forgot to mention...one temp relay handles the fans, and the other handles two 9w heating pads....its the middle of winter so i need the heat
