So, just for fun, i made a hydro bucket out of a Tidy Cat bucket. The strain in it is Runtz. It's in a 3x3 tent. To create the system i used a Tidy Cat Bucket which i cut a 6" hole in the lid using a hole saw. Then i drilled 2 x 1/4" holes diagonally into the side of the bucket on each side for the air lines. I drilled diagonally so it would have a more natural and less air line pinchy angle. Then, i drilled a 5/8" hole at the bottom of the bucket for the sight level tube. After that, i used air duct silver foil tape to cover the whole lid and the finned sides of the bucket. Making sure to block out every possible place that light was penetrating. Then i wrapped the main body of the bucket in tin foil and taped it onto the bucket. Then as a means of protecting the foil from getting ripped, i wrapped the whole thing in red tuck tape. I then inserted the 5/8th" Grommet into the bottom hole, then squeezed in the 5/8th blue tubing and snipped it off. Then inserted a 3/8th" Elbow into the blue tube and attached the rest of the blue tube to the other end and fixed it to the side of the bucket. At the top i added a 3/8" to 1/2" Elbow as a means to drain out the nutrients. The blue tubing i got off amazon and i believe it's tubing used for a liquid cooled computer cooling system. Air pump is a 2 port ac infinity pump. Fun little project. Now to put it to the test!
