You reckon 60L bucket is too big then?
I wouldn't know if it's too big.

I was just wondering what size tent you were going to put it in.

I can see an issue with them coil 'wort' chillers, that is your roots will tingle tangle into the loop chiller (if it's what I'm thinking of) and then you can;t get the plant out to change the water etc.

I used to stick my plant in the bog when I changed the water. Give them a few flushes while they're there for good measure.

You want the chiller small m8 because it’s only chilling the water in the lines and coils I think mine is a 300l chiller so it doesn’t have to work as hard … I pump the water out with a line to the bath because the roots end up encapsulating everything .. having the air stones in the center of the wort is a key to how it works best and I now use the foam ring type that fit inside the worts perfectly

Ohh and the bigger the bucket the better … large bodies of water require far less chilling than the constant swing in say like a 25 l
