These are what I use on five gallon buckets. The size netpot is up to you, five or six inch is a good starting point. The one you see in my pictures are ten inch baskets.Hey thanks a bunch for the help. The basket is a coco powder bucket lol. Fits in the lid nice and secure. Was going to either paint the bucket and lid black or run duct tape around it etc. 600w HPS and about 1000 true watts of LED. Don’t always run the LEDS. Temps in tent sit around 80-84, so definitely will have to cool the water. Can grab a real net basket on my way home from work if I need to. Is 170GPH strong enough pump for one plant?

Silver reflective duct tape will block out light from your bucket and reflect it back into the room. I’m always a little leary of using paint in this situation. The pump you have will do for one bucket, perhaps more. I started out with a 240gph and have since upgraded to something more industrial. LOL
If you are afraid of high water temps, then you might want to invest in some Hydroguard. When I use to struggle in the summer months I had a 25 pack of freezer packs that I could swap in and out. I use an aquarium temp gauge for monitoring water temps. DWC has it’s upfront costs but most of it is reusable and the harvest can make it worthwhile once you have it dialed in.
And this is what can happen if you don’t keep your DWC garden under control.
