would these dimensions be sufficient for growing hempy method. i was thinking something indica based that doesn't grow very tall something around 3-4 ft at the most!

thanks guys! due to my C25 being cramped i could only stuff 4 3.2-5gallon buckets in there and with these bins i could stuff 6 in there haha what do you guys think? thanks again!

those are fine...kinda pricey, though...anything from 2-5 gallons
lots just use anything from dollar stores
I've been looking for square buckets which are more efficient than round in an enclosed space...those are pretty close
I'm going 12/12 from seed...will keep it short

I have used square kitty litter buckets. They are strong and around 3 gallons in capacity. They work really well. If you know someone with a cat, see if you can have their empty litter buckets.

thanks guys, i dont know anyone with cats and even if i did i doubt they'd have enough for me to grow in. plus you can go to usplastics and get square buckets which are about the same dimension as the kitty litter buckets but those are too big for my c25, i'd might as well just stick with 4 5g painters pails.

thanks for all the input guys if anyone else has some .02 to throw in please feel free

isnt a hempy bucket just a bato bucket?

also known as dutch pots but no they are totally different. bato buckets are a form of drip irrigation system, very weird but yeah hempy is very basic pretty much "hydro set up"

No...it's an exactly defined unit. It MUST be X in size with a hole exactly 2" from the bottom to be a Hempy.
All others are called I.R.B's...Internal Rez Buckets. Bucket size and drain placement being users choice.
