Flower Bucket 300mm | 16L NH Hydroponic Grow Pot (Dutch Bucket Compatible)

Dutch bucket systems are the method of choice for commercial tomato, cucumber, capsicum, and vine crop production worldwide. The principle is straightforward: each plant sits in its own individual container, fed by a dedicated dripper, with excess nutrient solution draining back to a central reservoir for recirculation. The container is everything. It needs to hold enough root volume for a long-cycle fruiting crop, drain cleanly without pooling, and handle the structural load of a mature vine plant over months of production.

The Flower Bucket 300mm 16L NH is built for exactly this role. At 300mm diameter and 16 litres, it provides the root volume and stability that fruiting crops need through extended grow cycles. Drill a drain hole, fit a tub outlet or bulkhead fitting, connect your dripper line, and you have a fully functional Dutch bucket unit ready to integrate into a recirculating or run-to-waste system. Scale from a single bucket to a full commercial row by adding more units to the same supply line.

Dutch Bucket System Conversion

Converting this bucket into a Dutch bucket hydroponic unit requires three additional components. A drain hole drilled near the base of the bucket, a tub outlet or bulkhead fitting installed in the drain hole to create a sealed exit point, and a dripper connected to your main supply line to deliver nutrient solution to each bucket on a timed cycle. Excess solution drains through the outlet fitting and returns to your reservoir via a drain line running along the base of the bucket row. The bucket itself provides the plant container, root volume, and structural support for the entire system.

Key Benefits

• 16L capacity for long-cycle fruiting crop production. Provides sufficient root volume for tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicum, eggplant, and other vine crops through extended grow cycles of 3 to 6 months or more.
• 300mm diameter for stable plant support. Wide base provides structural stability for tall vine crops under the weight of fruit load and training systems.
• Compatible with Dutch bucket hydroponic systems. Drill and fit with a tub outlet or bulkhead fitting to convert into a fully functional Dutch bucket unit for recirculating or run-to-waste drip systems.
• Heavy-duty horticultural plastic construction. Built for repeated use across multiple grow cycles in nutrient-rich environments.
• Scalable for commercial production. Add units to the same supply line to scale from a small home setup to a full commercial row without changing your irrigation infrastructure.
• Reusable and easy to clean. Smooth interior cleans out quickly between crops, reducing turnaround time in commercial production systems.

Frequently Bought Together

Build a complete Dutch bucket system around this container. Install Hydroponic Tub Outlet Fittings in 13mm or 19mm through the drain hole to create a sealed, leak-resistant outlet for each bucket. Connect your nutrient supply line using Hydroponic Soft Tube and feed each bucket individually with Hydroponic Drippers 4mm, delivering a consistent 2L/hr flow rate to each plant on a timed cycle. Power the whole system with the Rio HF Submersible Water Pump in your central reservoir.
