Hydro question

Hello Folks

Has/have any of you used the below hydroponic kit? If so, were you impressed or other? Did it do its job?
Any input would be much appreciated.
I am planning for the not to distant future.
Thank you

Google d. I. Y. hempy buckets

Much cheaper /better

They do work but there not going to give you the best results as there bottom feed system so until they have a fairly decent root you will have to hand water them it’s also difficult to oxygenate the water although I’m sure you can get some kind of fixture for the bottom now ? There are better systems out there in my opinion you get what you pay for if your any good at DIY you’ll be sorted

Thank you for the reply and advice.

I did not think about bottom feed etc. I will research further. At the moment I use a wilma drip system. And yes, I have considered doing a d.I.y job.

Thanks

My hydro method of choice is simple F & D (E & F) Though I haven't used either, IMHO, this is a much better system

There is a guy who did a YouTube video using that system side by side against his usual DWC system and the yield was within grams of each other. There are some other forums that have quite a few guys using them with great success.

You have to top feed as normal for the first two weeks so the roots hit the bottom. Once that happens you open the valve and you’re done top feeding. It seems like most guys are only putting a couple days of feed into the res when they are home and will be checking them anyhow. It then gives you the option to put a lot more in if you are going on vacation.

The people that love them compare them to an auto hempy bucket. They do sell oxygenators that can be placed in the bottom of the bucket before you put in your soil/coco if you want the highest yield possible.
