I here ya on having to empty the bottom of the tent. I only have small pans and it gets tiring hand dumping them all. Im thinkiing on a small pump to evacuate the water to my drain. I have a five footer in a 3/4 gallon in Coco and the down side for me is having to water it every day and it suck's it pretty dry. Now when I get a drip system set up they will do great. But I find 2 gallon works well for my big plant's so I don't need to water every day. I recently got the stomach flue and it had me down for 4 days. I almost went to the clinic. I lost 0ver 20lb's and I was lucky I didn't lose my crop. The couple in 3/4 gal. were almost dead when I got to them . But all the one's in 2gal in flower were OK I was so sick I got down there and could not mix my nute's so I just poured on some well water @ph7 and hoped for the best got sick and drug my self backto bed. I see it look's like you are possibly cloning in Coco. I gave it a try and am 100% on both I tryed to clone in it. I recently made a bucket cloner and it is working well too.
Ok guys..blue mats are best when u r watering mutiple times a day and have a
re resivor/ catch tray...it can and prob will end up flooding u up.
Do a slow drip system if u do doo it..but u stil lneed a tray for bad timers etc etc

Closer look on one of the clones - I must say I'm very pleased how easy it was so get really nice clones even taken several weeks into flowering. I will probably continue this kind of cloning from now on - they grow pretty wildly too thanks to this!
That's very interesting. I never ran hydro but I'd like to some day. Why do you need the cooler by the way, is the bulbs making the room so hot that it needs to be chill?
It would be interesting to see if poly in both buckets had a big difference in cooling the water
