Can you go too big with the buckets, especially with a certain sized space(small in my case)? I'm planning a 5x5 room and had originally planned on using the 8 gallon EZ-stor buckets, but was able to get 5 - 20 gallon Brute trash cans for free:banana:, and am unsure if the cans would be too big for my planned space. Also, if I do use the trash cans, would 3" piping be ideal?
I would think using the larger containers wouldn't be a problem, as long as I flip the plants into flower at the right size. But at the same time, such large containers make me think large plants.
This is going to be under a horizontal 1kw, & I'm intending to do a scrog screen above the four plant modules (with the epicenter and pumps outside of the space), so maybe container size won't matter as much because I'm going to be trying to fill the screen anyways...?
Another thought I had was having a larger container would take longer for the roots to fill the given space, and might not fill quickly enough to provide stability, just a thought though, whats yours?
