Choosing lights

Hello everyone, I want to create my own space bucket for the first time, but I have a limit on watts, because... electricity is expensive here. The maximum is 60 watts. I want to choose a lamp with maximum efficiency, do you have anything in mind?

How tall of a bucket to buy if I plan to use just one?

Hi y'all! Years-long lurker in this subreddit, I finally am coming close to starting my first spacebucket grow. I plan to use a single tall bucket instead of cutting up and stacking multiple ones, for a more discrete appearance. My current options are:

  1. 62 cm tall and 50 cm wide (both gets narrower as it goes down, but to a small degree)
  2. 70 cm tall and 57 cm wide

I get the principle of having your plant closer your light for mimimal stretch. I also plan to do LST + SCROG, doing everything I can to lessen its height while maximizing yields. Would any of these buckets suffice or would you guys suggest I get myself a taller one?

Cheers!

Just learned about space buckets!

That might be a lie I’m not sure, I think I remember some of the more basic ones back in 2015 or so. Haven’t seen them since or thought about the idea any since.

Nowadays I’m a fucking horticultural degenerate, growing lots of cool plants. Just saw these mentioned while I was thinking about the economics of growing my own bud. I think I will build 2-3 buckets for various purposes and plants, but I’ve got a few questions!

So I would like to build a bigger fancier set up to grow some bud in, semi stealthily. I live alone, I’m not drawing heat of any sort. I’ll know if someone’s coming to visit I have extra rooms. I’ve already got plants everywhere (don’t tell anyone but some are of questionable legality) no one knows what the fuck they are though. Mostly just pretty flowers and shit everywhere. Anyhow.

Should I go for the supersized or for a tote? I would like to harvest about 4-8 oz per cycle at least. If possible, or more would be preferable. I’m a noob when it comes to cannabis growing but not the smoking.

Think I’m gonna build 5 gallon setup to keep my Catha E. Growing fast during the winter. But see I’m not sure on size again, should work for just that plant fine.

But what if I want to put more plants in there, so I might just build 3 what do yall think?

How many days are left until harvest?

I’ll be out of town starting November 30th and want to know if it’s possible to harvest anything from this plant by then.

Any suggestion? Bag seeds. Smaller one popped randomly after one month thought it was dead. I will get better light. The bigger one is stretching because the light was much weaker before

Mars hydro ec fans

Hi all.

Just starting my spacebucket build in a 20g can. I have most of my equipment but i am stuck on fan choice.

Essential for it to be as quiet as possible without breaking the bank. It is going to be in a bedroom that is occasionally used so I need to take that into account for it to be viable.

Seen the mars hydro ec range which looks the same as many more expensive options, but if anyone has any first hand experience that would be great.
