    Theses are my plans/ideas before starting my first grow using the Real Buckets 2.0. I’m a Veteran and a two time cancer survivor living with some disabilities issues, So I’m trying to make this system super easy to compensate for my situation.

    – 100% Cana Coco coir with Grow dots and Recharge.

    -Planning on modifying the water hose to allow me to keep the watering reservoir out side of my 5×5 tent and modifying hoses for my 4 grow buckets inside. (I need space for my balance)

    – I know that the watering reservoir should be on the same ground level as the grow buckets.

    – Also thinking about adding a float valve to the lid of watering reservoir to add a RO line directly to the watering reservoir keeping full at all times.

    Everything looks simple to do, so I hope others can use these ideas to make growing a little easier. Peace

      This system is very user friendly. I set my rez up with a float valve for continuous fill, and the is system virtually hands off. Another benefit of grow dots is not worrying about feeding schedules. This allows more time with the plants scouting, pruning, and shaping.

    This is a couple of pictures of my simple continuous fill system for my Real Buck Reservoir. $6 total. May need to add a small weight to place on the lid to ensure the hydraulic pressure cant push it open before the float valve closes. I haven’t started to use it yet, I still have a full tent in flower. I already have RO water plumed to the lung room so this is 98% done project. Hope this helps someone, Peace
