The rest were miscellaneous things I picked up at home depot. The links above are the main parts.

Doesn't make much sense tbh. You can buy a roleadro UFO for the same cost as these materials and get twice the wattage without having to buy a bunch of materials and construct a gizmo.

This $40 ufo worked wonders for me
Make sure you get a high speed exhaust fan for ventilation and a low speed intake fan to stimulate trunk development
Use smart pots to hold the soil and plant - you should start in a small pot and graduate up to larger ones, but you can also just pop your seed into the big one. Be sure not to overwater.

I am using a 138w UFO in my first grow. The plants are doing nice, I am sure more watt would be good but it suits its purpose of being a cheap intro.

UFO

Strip Light


I would say this intensity is suitable for seedling. The strip lights are between 0.1 inch and 5 inches from the leaves and the UFO is about 7 inches from the canopy right now and its fine.

I will be buying stuff for a second bucket and refining my technique and I will opt for a brighter UFO, thinking whether I should reorder the LED strip or not though as it seems like its good.

This is the LED that I used: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RWYCRB2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Using a UFO LED is pretty great for a spacebucket since it fits well in the cover, and they're not too expensive. I would use this with the blackout guide that is stickied.

Maybe two or even three of these:

at 55 true watts times 2 (or 3), you'd get decent coverage without blasting your plant with too much light.

I had a look on Amazon.com and the "Amazon choice" one at $49.99 would be sufficient for 1 plant in enclosed conditions like a spacebucket.

Then you will want to get a 5630 led strip for side lighting. Like this:

https://www.amazon.com/LEDMO-Flexible-Daylight-Waterproof-brightness/dp/B01339G2F6

Although I wouud recommend searching on Amazon for "5630 led strip" and looking for one that is both waterproof, adhesive backed and has a usb connector for easy installation. The one I linked is just the LED strip on its own.

Yeah you can but you're better off buying a LED panel or ufo, you'd need at least eight of those bulbs for a nice small plant, look into socket splitters if you go this way but check these other options out too.

By the time you buy two sets of bulbs and a fixture, you could get something like this for about the same price:

I’ve been using this light. Thanks! It’s been a fun lil journey so far

Last watering was 2 days ago, soil is dry now. Was holding off just in case it was over watered. Current temp is 79F w/ 35% humidity. It's hard to get it to go past that humidity.


Had it about 6" away from 138W Roleadro and it was doing great. Dropped it down to about 10" away after drooping.

Just discovered the Space Bucket method for growing and I'm super excited to try it out.



I'd really appreciate it if someone can answer me this; I'm planning to grow around 3 plants. Can they all be put in the same pot inside the bucket? Also, what's the LED wattage required for such a small crop?


Would these lights work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RWYCRB2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=spacbuck-20&linkId=a1a9a1b958abb9ee0dee2e5e7a9dc31f&th=1

These seedlings are probably five weeks in and they have slowly begun to start pointing their leaves up and have begun to yellow. Now they are starting to drop leaves. I thought that maybe I was watering them too much so I have backed off for the past week, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Anyone have any idea what I did to screw these up? And is there any saving them at this point?

The currently have a this 138W light which is 8-10 inches away from the plant.

Is this the US versiosn https://www.amazon.com/Roleadro-138W-Grow-Light-Grower/dp/B00RWYCRB2/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479131185&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=Roleadro+%C2%AE+UFO+Led+Plant+Lamp+138w+%2846++3w%29+with+IR+UV+Ray+for+houseplant+growth+greenhouse+light ?

Ok, here is my build list minus a couple things that I bought locally.

Plus a roll of black duct tape, roll of reflective ducting tape, and a 3 gallon smart pot

Edit: Oh yeah, and 4 Ace Hardware 5 gallon buckets

You'd be much better off with one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RWYCRB2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_k01RAbFQG9WXE or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07312WKX2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_E01RAbJSA85FE

Depending on how close they'll be to the plant both are the cheapest to the most efficient par

Is this something that would be more appropriate? It seems to be on sale for a pretty good price and it's about 4 times the advertised wattage of my current lamp

I use this high quality, organic soil that you only have to add tap water to (no nutes or pH - this is NOT the case with all soils, however).

You could literally just throw some of that in a pot in a closet, then hang a light like this from the clothing bar that you would normally put hangers and whatnot on and just add water whenever the soil gets dry.

You should get some high quality bud from that setup for pretty cheap. Wont yield much with only that light, but you can add another light on the next grow or when you have more $$$.

I'm thinking about using 2x138 watt

The purple led grow lights are actually a mixture of the spectrums. You can do it with cfls but its very hard, a lot of energy, and heat. Ive used anything from cfl, to 150w hps, to a 300w ufo led setup. The led setup was the best and yes it was purple.

Whats the spectrum of those bulbs and what phase of growing is it?

This is 50$
