I used to use a 50 l tub, ran 3 -4 other tubs, 50l, went thru 2 buckets a day, maybe 3 in Summer ??

What the fuck are you doing ?? wanting it to run for a week ?

What system are ya running(when they bother growing lol)

I prefer to top the res up daily, have run bigger res's before, but a big tub, not a cylinder pump up one, pain in the arse ?

Hey oz. Dumping nutes will need to be done more frequently when they are big and less when they are little. My first 60l of nutes, feeding 8 plants is good for at least 3 weeks. Second batch of 60l lasts 1 week, 3rd batch lasts 4 days. At full swing they go through 100l every 3 days. It depends on how much they are drinking. You probably won't believe me but I thought I'd try to save you a little time, effort and money.

Billys onto it with the cheap barrel, they're the go IMO.

Them Flexi tanks are pretty shit in my opinion. The only time I would use one is if you physically can't get a reservoir big enough into your grow room through the door.

The best reservoirs I reckon are them 190 litre olive barrels, 220 litre blue plastic drums with a modified lid cut into the top, or a household green wheelie bin.

You can pick all of them up pretty cheap usually.

Can also sometimes find 2nd hand water tanks which are more heavy duty at a decent price, I paid $200 for a 300 litre poly water tank.

Once you need really big reservoirs just get IBCs.
