I saw this weird looking guy in Canada at The Great Tomato Hunt who brought in a 5 gallon bucket in which he was growing a tomato plant that had 4 or 5 tomatoes growing on it that were all well over three pounds. Growing in containers is an entirely different situation than growing in the ground. Watering is a big deal and so is what you use in the container as your soil mixture. And also how you fertilize. Bnot will be hard to compete with and should be allowed to use any method he desires. A 5 gallon bucket is the lower limit on size of container from what I have read. A guy growing in Buffalo is an expert at doing this. His entire driveway is nothing but buckets in which he is very successfully growing tomatoes. He has a drip watering system.

Ok so grower choice on seed sounds good. 5 gallon bucket size limit. Any input on max number of buckets? And Bnot you would be hard to compete with maybe but I dont care what method you choose. Thats what will make it fun hydro vs. Soil. Any input is welcome

I will try one in hydro. My 2nd year of winter growing I used 5 gallon buckets. In the interest of fairness I would think my nutrient reservoir should be contained within the 5 gallon bucket. That first year I tried deep water hydro. By the middle of the season the roots had expanded to completely fill the bucket. Very root bound. Not sure how I would approach this outdoors. Heat and deep water is a recipe for root rot. Maybe we can have two divisions, hydro and soil?

I grew some plants in a 20 gallon pot last year. They did okay. But a 5 gallon pot needs a lot more attention and could even need to be watered twice a day in hot weather or if the plant is allowed to get big. Good luck on that.

2/27/2020 6:40:08 PM

Oak Grove, Mn

What are you thinking Orangeneck? Marv says 5 gallons is the lower limit...I have seen almost a two pound tomato grown in a 6 inch cube (6x6x6=36 cu in=0.1558 gallons=1.24 pint) of rockwool plus nutrient reservoir size.
http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=299161
http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=300103
He grew more than one tomato with that small space
I think the lowest limit of nutrient reservoir depends on how often a person is available to refill it. During summer heat..I think a full size plant wil drop the reservoir about 1 gallon per day as the plant cools itself. Dropping a gallon of water in a small reservoir throws the EC way over. If a person had the time to monitor the reservoir all day...I think you could grow 2 pounds in less than a quart.

HaHa you guys are fun. I know Chops Here is the RULES! I would like it be A 5 gallon bucket or pot. You can drill holes in for water drainage or air circulation. No cutting the bottom off and setting in a mound of yum yum soil. " Chops"... Keep roots contained in the bucket. I thought about keeping the bucket of the ground like on a board or concrete side walk ect. But everyone may not have that choice. Just be fair guys. You can cut holes any size in the side and line it with fabrick to keep the soil inside of the bucket. Try to keep roots inside the 5 gallon bucket or pot. Just post in your Diary. This is going to be fun. And Im not putting a Restrictions on number of plants/buckets. Since its just for fun..

Can it be grown upside down with the pot suspended in air? Sort of like aeroponically. A constant dripping of nutrients on the bottom of the pot. This would be right up Bnot's alley.
Aeroponic systems nourish plants with nothing more than nutrient-laden mist. The concept builds off that of hydroponic systems, in which the roots are held in a soilless growing medium, such as coco coir, over which nutrient-laden water is periodically pumped

I still have not put any holes in my 5 gallon cooler yet. Will wait for the final rules before i do so. I have it sitting here in my office while I think about what could be done with it. Currently thinking that it would be majority deep water hydro, with a chiller and a wide clay pebble top base. Would recirculate the solution and feed with multiple misters from the top. I am tempted to put in my winter aeroponic system for the second 20% of the (bucket) but think I will not have enough time...have to spend an hour per day teaching my daughter to drive.

I see Kfrink is setting up a hydro bucket. Caution Kyle...Petsmart might not get you enough air for deep water. More so if your reservoir gets to summer temps. Cold water holds more air than warm water. Ooops, I shouldnt be trying to help a competitor.

Who else is thinking about hydro. I wonder how big of a bucket that 8 pounder hydro grown in Germany was.....

You two guys know what were trying to accomplish here. 5 US gallon bucket challenge or a container or pot or bowl or tote ect. As long as the container is 5 US gallons that holds the root system inside. So with that being said you can not take a bigger container and put 5 gallons of whatever your growing medium is. You can alter your your 5 gallon container anyway you want. The roots must be contained in the 5 gallon container. So what my moderators say will be our final rules.

Keaau, Hawaii (Big Island)

Aloha from Hawaii! We just learned about this contest over the weekend...it sounded like we might have a couple of our families on our island who are interested in trying out this 5-gallon bucket challenge...Porkchop said I should also see if anyone has Domingo seeds for our kids over here to try...we actually wouldn't need them for this year, but please keep us in mind for 2021...right now we are growing Big Zac tomatoes...I'm actually distributing plants this week to families...as of today, we are up to 85 (which is close to 150 kids) participating in our contest. Should be FUN!!
