Yes - "lavender" - don't want that -"lavender" - smell to get out. Thanks Hoocho :D

You and blakey giggling like school kids about space buckets is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all day

If you're going to grow lavender in a space bucket, remember how much they stretch when they're going into flower and read up on training techniques! Lavender loves being topped young and trained to fill a space 😅

Great work Hoochos and Blakey ! Would love to see Blakey feature in the next video too !

Hydroponic lavender! This will take the potpourri world by storm.

Always nice to see another way of you manifesting your green thumb. You can tell that you live for this stuff 👍🏼 It almost feels as if there isn’t a spot, a nook, a cranny or a corner of your house and land which doesn’t have something to do with gardening in or around it.

I’m going to set up a small RDWC setup (4+1 buckets) myself. Moving up from coco/perlite mix. It would be great to see a vid on how beginners would go about doing that and the main things to know and look out for when setting one up in a small space. I reckon there would be plenty of people who’d appreciate it. Especially with increasingly more people trying their hand at new hobbies these days. What with everybody’s favourite virus and all.

Have you done an update for this system yet? How is it performing

[stevenbrown]

using a metal bin would reduce the chance of a fire...plastic burns really well...metal will also act a heat sink as well..

[sander]

wow great video, very nice that you are going in to the details of par and temperature.

[Benlikesstuff]

Is there an update video? I'd love to see how it went

[MattBlethen]

You have inspired me to try to grow some lavender

[sammyrussell]

I cant see thay wicking up enough water to the plant. Great job I think im gonna make one with a funnel. And a hose for watering. Have the hose come through the lid and attach the funnel. Keep the videos coming.

Reminds me of 1980 ish phototrons, thanks Hoocho

A tube of caulking would make a big difference.

[kristofergobbe]

Love to see this done with 2 bins joined at the rim to make more height.😎

[SuperAngryHippo]

I was at Bunnings yesterday looking at the space buckets lol

[jackawwwf]

Another thought hoocho, would you be concerned that the temp/humidity probe would give skewed readings from mounting at the top like that? Especially when the fan is on. Wouldn't mounting it where the canopy is going to be give an optimum reading?

You're plug knowledge is cute :D.
Love your channel bro!

Second power cord is for Europe and the last is for Great Britain
