Welcome to the best darn grow forum to date.
Howdy what line of nutrients do you plan to use, what size air stones?
Just a quick side note I would either plug the air hose hole on the lid or buy a new lid, and drill a hole in the top side of the bucket, this way your not messing around with the air stone while moving the roots when lifting the lid.

Welcome, that’s a clever idea. Need a shelf, need a tent. Shelf tent. Never seen that before. Happy growing.

I got the Advanced Nutrients starter kit.
I got 3 inch air stone disc.
I did drill holes in the lid for the hose to go through for easier access. I wish I would have thought about putting it in top side of the bucket.

Thank You! It is an adventure and a real learning process that is for sure. But I am having a blast in the process.

I like the idea of plugging the hole on the lid and putting it on the side like yours. It would make it easier without having to mess with the stone. Thank you!!

I used what I had. I used the same material that it is wrapped with as a door and a rod that I can lift it up and down with. It is definitely a learning process. I see everyone else’s set up and I am in awe! Mine looks like a kid project, but happy with it.

Very nice line up, only other additive I would suggest is Bud Ignitor it’s a bit expensive but is only used for the first 2 weeks of flower, and if you are doing autos idr but in DWC they only get half strength.
And your using a 3 inch air stone, I was told and a rule I go by is 5 gallon bucket 4 inch air stone, currently I have 2 set up and one is a 6 inch and other is a 4 inch air stone.
Here is another tool to help with feedings.

Nice! I believe I have a 4 inch on hand. I will swap out. I will grab another 4 inch tomorrow when I run to the store. So just use half the strength that the kit suggests for hydroponics?
I have wondered about the bud ignitor. I will have to get that.
The kit also came with the feeding calendar and suggested an app called budlabs.

Make sure you soak your air stones for 24 hours B4 using them in your grow. Helps get the loose material off. And I’ve not heard about bud labs.
And also what other product do you plan to use like example hydroguard, Southern AG?
I can tell you from a conversation with advanced Nutrients grower support a product called U C Roots is scientifically designed for advanced Nutrients brand.
And also have to maintain water temp between 68-72°

As you can see I’m not talking out my @ss lol I honestly do have 2 hydro DWC buckets setup.
Currently have a purple kush auto in each DWC buckets.

I ran the stones a good 24 hours first to make sure they worked good, was not aware of the loose material. So, I got lucky on that part.
Bud Labs is an app for your phone that is basically your calculator on the go.
Just had my kit a little over a week, so still new to it,
I have not thought about using another product, but willing to try them, if it will be good for the girls. I will have to check out the UC Roots. Ty!
I wrapped the buckets with the insulation to help keep the buckets insulated and have salt water bottles frozen on hand in case the water gets too warm.

Oh I didn’t think you were! That is a nice set up! I am also doing purple kush and Turtle Taffy.

You could always call the grower support for Advanced Nutrients they are very helpful.
Will tell you if the product you are going to use will work with hydroguard or whatever,
Mine the pH perfect micro grow bloom, hydroguard doesn’t play well together.

Glad you told me that. I just looked into the UC Roots. Not a bad price for it either.
