    Need to know pot size differences will plant be bigger in 7 gallon pot? Or is a 5gallon bucket sufficient enough ?

    That's what I'm thinking stupidfarmboy. Cause I haven the buckets already one and 5g bucket seems more compact but still good amount of dirt

    With 7 gal pots you will get bigger plants, but if indoors you need a room with height, and water/ nite waste would be crazy, lol it's bad enough with 5 gal

    More or yes yeah. It's pretty simple.

    Yes, it's easy, this is only my second grow, the first was 3 plants that yielded me 3 oz per plant with nice size buds. I just researched online and watched many YouTube videos. I had never grown before. DWC is fairly easy. Just remember " less is more" when it comes to nutes and feeding.

    When using Hydro Dwc with 5 gal + buckets, you have to fill those buckets with 4 gal of water a piece with nutes, then empty that water after about a week to 10 days, and fill them all again with fresh water and nutes, this will go on for the first month then starts to taper off some, Hence; you throw away a lot of water and nutes.
