The Bucket Company 6 Piece Irrigation Kit – Precision Watering System

If you are tired of being a slave to the watering can and want to take the leap to professional automation, the 6 Piece Irrigation Kit by The Bucket Company is exactly what you need. This system is not just a set of tubes; it is a complete engineering solution designed to ensure that your plants receive the exact amount of water and nutrients they need, distributing moisture evenly throughout the substrate without you having to lift a finger.

Why your manual watering might be ruining your harvest

Let's be honest: watering by hand is a hassle. But the real problem isn't just the effort; it's the inconsistency. When you pour water manually, you often create "channels" where the liquid runs straight through without soaking the soil, or you leave dry pockets where roots die off. Plus, the risk of overwatering or underwatering is constant, leading to stress that stunts growth and lowers your final yield.

Continuing with this method means you are leaving the potential of your genetics to chance. You spend money on top-tier cannabis fertilizers and expensive seeds, only to have their performance limited by poor hydration. The cost is high: wasted nutrients, root rot, and hours of your life lost to a repetitive task that a machine could do better.

The solution is to automate with precision. The 6 Piece Irrigation Kit by The Bucket Company eliminates human error. Its manifold and emitter system ensures that water is sprayed evenly across the surface, penetrating the medium uniformly. This means happier roots, faster growth, and you getting your free time back.

Quick spec sheet of the product

• Mounts: 12 brackets to secure the system.
• Compatibility: Works with soil, coco, and hydroponic substrates.

Key advantages over basic drip lines

Many generic drip irrigation systems just drip water in one spot near the stem. This causes a "cone" of moisture, leaving the outer roots dry. The Bucket Company has solved this with their specialized Manifold design.

• Total Root Coverage: The 180º emitters spray water across the entire surface of the pot, ensuring 100% of the substrate is moistened.
• No Clogging: High-quality components resist salt buildup better than cheap capillaries.
• Modularity: The system is designed to be easily assembled and expanded if you decide to grow more plants later.
• Stability: The included mounts keep the manifolds firmly in place, so you don't have to worry about them shifting and spraying your tent walls.

Real benefits you’re going to notice

The first thing you will notice is the explosive root growth. Because the entire medium is kept at optimal moisture levels, roots will expand to fill the whole pot, not just the bottom. This directly translates to a thicker main stem and heavier, denser flowers.

Additionally, you gain freedom. You can mix your nutrient reservoir, check your PH meters, set a timer, and go away for the weekend knowing your girls are being fed perfectly. It turns a daily chore into a hands-off, professional operation.

Step-by-step usage guide

1. Preparation: Layout your 6 pots and place the Manifold brackets on the rims of your buckets or pots.
2. Assembly: Connect the 180º emitters to the Manifolds. Ensure they are facing inward to cover the soil surface.
3. Connection: Use the Union Valves and T-pieces to connect each Manifold to your main water supply line (usually PVC or flexible tubing, sold separately).
4. Secure: Snap the Manifolds into the brackets you placed in step 1.
5. Test: Run your pump for a few seconds to check for leaks and ensure all emitters are spraying correctly.
6. Adjust: Set your timer based on your plant's stage and substrate type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this kit with fabric pots?

Yes, absolutely. While designed with The Bucket Company's buckets in mind, the brackets and manifolds can be adapted to work with fabric pots or standard plastic pots, provided you can secure the mounts properly.

Do I need a powerful pump?

You need a water pump capable of providing enough pressure to operate the sprayers. A standard submersible pump found in most grow shops is usually sufficient for a 6-plant setup, but check the head height rating of your pump.

Is it hard to clean?

Not at all. The Union Valves allow you to disconnect the manifolds easily for cleaning or maintenance between cycles, preventing salt buildup from blocking the lines.

Can I expand it to more than 6 plants?

Yes, the system is modular. You can buy additional kits or parts and daisy-chain them, provided your water pump has enough pressure to handle the extra load.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I used to be skeptical about these "fancy" irrigation kits, thinking a simple drip line was enough. I was wrong. The difference with The Bucket Company kit is the coverage. When I switched to this, I noticed my plants drank more water and nutrients because the roots were actually accessing the entire pot. No more dry zones. Plus, the setup is super clean—it makes the grow room look professional and tidy. If you are serious about yield, this is one of the best upgrades you can make for the price.
