Dave_In_St_Louis Modified my Hydro Buckets, You see the Blue Hose in the pictures. Instructions say to run the airhose to that with no airstone in the bucket. I drilled a hole and ran a hose and airstone. Much better airflow in the bucket. Measured 13 inches each so the pressure is equal and airflow is the same for each bucket.

Dave_In_St_Louis I just trimmed 1 plant for this diary. I had a full setup. Overall 6 Oz with Just Topping 1 time and no training really. Tied down a few branches but like I said you can't scrug with having to lift the plant 2 feet up and out of the bucket to change the water.
Cheers, Dave in St Louis
