BATO BUCKET SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL

The Hydrolock™ system takes a scientific approach to the delivery of solution to the plants by offering a unique attachment that fits over a standard bucket.

BATO BUCKET SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL

Throw in an automated drip delivery, central reservoir, and nutrient testing, and you are all set! HydroLock All-in-One Professional Grow Kit This is a great start to a professional-level hydroponic setup. The smaller recess at the bottom is where your supplemental reservoir of nutrient solution sits, allowing the perlite (or other medium) to absorb it. The unique bucket shape, however, makes them incredibly well-suited for Dutch Bucket hydroponics. – Overall: 27.5” tall, 27.5” wide, 35.5” longĪs you can infer from the image and the dimension, this kit accommodates many different methods of hydroponic gardening. Running a standalone irrigation system gives you the freedom and flexibility to plan around your greenhouse, and not just work with what came in the kit’s box.

And while this kit does seem to include minimal irrigation manifolding, delivering at least from a main hose connection to each bucket, we still recommend installing your own quality drip system. The kit does not include a tank for use as a central reservoir, but this is common with most pre-designed kits. The base of the assembled unit includes a “horseshoe” drain line that provides each row with its own drain line. This pre-assembled Dutch Bucket system comes with six buckets, arranged in two rows, that each include their own lid and growing basket. The buckets can mount directly to the main drain, or can be connected by hose – either way, it’s best to let gravity do the work when possible (although larger systems will often employ recirculation pumps to help move nutrient solution throughout the greenhouse)ĭutch/Bato Bucket2020 Hydroponic Growing Product Guide INTSUPERMAI Hydroponic Dutch/Bato Bucket Grow System 6 Box Growing Kit Holes are drilled in the main drain line, spaced to accommodate each Dutch Bucket. The buckets are usually mounted above a “main” drain line – 1-½” PVC pipe is a practical and popular choice. If you have any prior experience building other kinds of hydroponic growing systems, you will find the Dutch Bucket method to be surprisingly simple. More advanced options, like automated nutrient delivery and real-time PPM/EC monitoring, will obviously require a greater investment and more technical skill to install, but we encourage everyone to consider them. Like nearly all hydroponic growing methods, Bato Buckets can be built DIY using readily available materials. Growing larger plants in the narrow confines of the typical NFT (nutrient film technique) setup, for example, is usually more trouble than it’s worth. Their drain design is a simple, yet clever way to optimize efficiency for larger, fruit-bearing plants that are ordinarily difficult to grow hydroponically. The buckets themselves are more than mere vessels of substrate, however. What is a Dutch Bucket system?Ī Dutch Bucket system is one that uses “buckets” to hold an absorbent growing medium that larger vining plants can root into, which provides an affordable, waterproof way to repeatedly deliver nutrients to that medium, and can be easily re-positioned for ideal arrangement. Place each bucket so that you can get to every plant in the garden, with enough room to move around and safely perform the necessary pruning and harvesting.Īrranging the garden into rows that run the length of the greenhouse has been hard to beat over the last few thousand years.
