#1 A standard 410mm Black Growers pot is the most used pot when it comes to the Hooch Multi Base. Incredibly rigid and easy to manage.
#2 Second hand food grade white 20L buckets that you would normally find at the back of restaurants / food prep places.
#3 Cheap PP UV stable bagging method. This is the most budget friendly option, but does require a heat sealer.
Hydrated cocopeat with hydroponic nutrient is the best choice. Rehydrated at 2.4 EC and a pH of 5.5 to 6.5
