Wow, your hydro game is serious, I have never heard of Dutch buckets so thanks for that introduction.
Like you say there is a lot of trial and error, taking into account the low winter sun and the fact not all plants like to have wet roots,
I will be following your progress and it feels good that I will get to see the whole process from start to finish.
Thanks for sharing all this wisdom with us @steempowergarden.

Thank you Mark, I'm happy what I am sharing is starting to help and inspire others to get into growing their own foo, even if it's not in hydroponics, but at least getting started growing in some way.
Yeah, with the Dutch buckets, it is a variation of the commercial "Bato Bucket" systems - if you need that term to research it. The Bato buckets have a specific shape to allow them to sit over the return line. Using the 3 or 5 gallon buckets with a "net cup" style lid and PVC fittings to achieve the same results is what we refer to as Dutch buckets.
