- So this is going to be my first time growing indoors and my first time growing hydroponically, and I'm trying to make sure I have a basic understanding before I jump into this. I will be growing in a small closet, so this is going to be an all cfl grow and I will probably make a small screen with PVC and chicken wire and do scrog to control height and maximize yields. I also don't know what approach I should take to building my DWC bucket since there are so many. One thing I do want my buckets to have is a water level tube so I don't have to guess how much is in there. And I'm not sure how to empty and refill the buckets if I'm doing scrog since you can't move them. I got a big bag of free nutrients from Van de Zwaan, so that is what I'm planning on using and following their feeding chart, then checking and adjusting my ph after I feed. Is there anything else important I should know? I want to make sure I don't mess this up once I get started.

I normally syphon the water out with a hand pump made for aquarium takes about 5 minutes per bucket I also Pre mix my nutes and syphon them into the grow buckets from a 22 gallon rubber maid. I don't use fill tubes every morning I check the systems PH and I have Lines marked inside my buckets so I can see how much is being consumed daily
Also a lot f growers attach their screens to the tops of the bucket so they can lift the screen off the bucket should they need to
