The IMV Sincere BC100W LED grow light is a lot of grow light for the money. The $69 price for actual 110 Watts of LED grow light with Samsung LEDs and dimmable LED driver is exceptional.

The wicking cord has worked extremely well in my 5 gallon buckets. It’s easier to set up than using a wicking basket. And even if plant roots grow down the rope, it still works well at drawing up water. I bought mine from a local hardware store, but I also supplied a link for convenience.
THE BEST SELF-WATERING BUCKET DESIGN:
Some self-watering bucket designs only use a single bucket which is then partitioned into a potting mix section resting above a smaller water reservoir. Those designs can save you a couple dollars since you don’t need a 2nd bucket. But they reduce the water storage capacity along with the available root zone. The double bucket SIPs allow for even larger plants while boosting hydration significantly.
The hack shown in the video gives an even further boost, allowing you to have a much larger water reservoir (7 quarts). These wicking buckets are quite sturdy when filled with water. But the plants can get massive! If your crop is super tall and you tend neglect the water reservoir, you can maintain stability by adding a brick to the reservoir. I personally don’t need to do it since I keep the reservoir fairly full. But if your garden is in a super windy area, you might decide to play it safe, especially once your plants start to explode. 😉
Got the honor of showing these ladies some of my hacks 🤩🙌 it was super fun being on a TV set, I loved the whole experience. Thanks for having me CBS Studios / The Good Dish.
