Detailed description, trial and critique of the Eco Hydroponic Grow System 6 Pack 3 gallon size pot system. This well designed system uses a semi-automatic feed setup to provide nutrient solution to each grow pot reservoir feeding organic potting soil. Very interesting, low maintenance system that works exceptionally well.

    Hi there – After several months use it turns out the the 3 gal container works best for small to medium sized plants, like patio tomato, herbs like basil, etc but the larger 5 gal container is better for larger plants like most tomato varieties. The tomato plant variety I used for the video produced fair but became root-bound and needed a daily replenishment of liquid. All in all, the system works great if you want to use soil as a growing medium but I would definitely go for the 5 gal pots.

    Ron, it would be nice if you made a video only on how to put nutriens in the water. explain ppm etc would help a lot. Got the concept of these buckets but need the guide of nutrients to purchase eco bucket

    Sounds great! I used a few pickle buckets from a local deli which worked out really well but turned out they didn't have much resistance to uv . But, what the heck, they were free and lasted a couple of years so I ain't complaining. Are you goiing to do a video on your setup to show people how to do it? Lots of interest out there.

    Wow, that's not a bad price at all. Too bad Ive already made 20-5 gal buckets and I believe I spent $100 bucks for the whole system. I found a good source for food grade buckets really cheap. So it worked out for me.

    I made a version a couple of years back which works ok but these are so cheap and work well so I'm just going to use these. You can get a full 6 pack of the 3 gal units with all fittings for about $75 – I can't even put six together myself for less!
    The manufacturer watched the video and is sending me moisture sensors to make the setup automatic – that should be interesting. Check for an update in a month or so. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my vids!
