One device per IP
For each home IP address you can only run 1x each program, but if you ask family / friends if you can set up a small Mini PC with them, it starts to become really profitable.
Mini PC
As already mentioned, you should use Mini PCs for this, as they have a very low power consumption. 4GB RAM would be recommended.
Remote Connection
Whether everything works You can check via Teamviewer, Supremo or Parsec. So that you can establish a remote connection to your Mini PC Μs you need an HDMI dummy. (also required for eBesucher)

PRODUCTION OF THE DRIP TRAY
1. Measure 8cm from the bottom of the bucket upwards and draw a horizontal line.
2. Use the Dremel and cut along the line.
3. Put the bottom of the bucket aside.
4. The bottom of the bucket is now your drip tray. The upper part will be the lid of your space bucket.
DRILL HOLES FOR DRAINAGE
1. Turn the other bucket over.
2. Drill into the ground evenly distributed 12 holes at the same height.
3. Remove the handle.
4. This is the floor of the Space Bucket. It is located on the draining tray.
CONNECT THE TWO BUCKETS TO THE SCREWS
1. Drill 4 holes in the bottom area of the Space Bucket. The holes should be 4cm from the top edge and have an even distance to each other.
2. Insert one screw at a time into a hole and fix it with a washer and nut.
3. Place the upper part on the lower part so that it sits on the screws.
4. Mark the places where the screws are located and paint 4cm up and 4cm into the side to form an L-shape each, all of which should point in the same direction.
5. Use the Dremel to cut out the L-shaped markings with a 6mm attachment.
6. Now place the upper part on the floor part.
7. Align the screws so that the upper part can snap into place in the lower part.
8. Rotate the upper part to fix it. Use the handle to make sure you can lift the Space Bucket safely.
DRILL THE HOLES FOR THE FANS
1. Separate the upper part from the lower part of the Space Bucket.
2. Remove the cover from one of the fans.
3. Use the fan cover to mark the size of the cutout and mounting holes in the bottom part of the Space Bucket. This should be about 8cm from the top edge.
4. Put on the goggles.
5. Use the drill to drill the mounting holes.
6. Use the Dremel to cut out the hole for the fan output.
7. Repeat the operation for the upper part.
ATTACHMENT OF THE LED LIGHTING TO THE LID
1. Find the mounting holes on the top of the LED lamps.
2. Cover the top of the LED lamps with a piece of paper. Mark the locations of the mounting holes, power cable, and fan inlet.
3. Use paper as a template to transfer the marked areas to the lid of the bucket.
4. Use the drill to drill the openings for the mounting and power cables. Use the Dremel to make a larger hole for the fan inlet.
5. Remove the top cover from the LED lamp. It should be easy to remove or unscrew.
6. Remove the screws that are supposed to hold the fastening cables.
7. Pass one screw at a time through a washer, then through the bucket lid and finally through the LED lamp. Screw everything securely with one nut at a time.
8. Turn the fan so that it blows out of the bucket.
9. Now reconnect the LED lamp to its cover, which is now connected to the lid of the bucket.
IMPROVE REFLECTIVITY AND ELIMINATE LIGHT LEAKS
1. With the help of the spray adhesive, you attach the Mylar foil to the inside of the Space Bucket to improve reflectivity.
2. Cover the outside of the bucket and drip tray with tape to eliminate light leaks.
3. The bottom of the bucket with the drainage holes must not be taped.
4. Once everything is covered, use a razor blade to cut the holes for the fan through the tape and mylar foil.
SEAL THE UPPER AND LOWER PART OF THE SPACE BUCKET WELL
1. Use tape and a string to create a seal that runs between the edge of the bottom bucket and the 4 screws.
2. Close the top of the floor and check if it is firmly seated.
3. Add more tape over the cord until all gaps are closed and no more light can escape from the space bucket.
INSTALL THE FANS
1. The fan inlet should be mounted on the lower bucket.
2. Insert the fan housing so that the protective grille is attached to the inside of the bucket.
3. Insert the screws and tighten them tightly so that no light leaks can occur.
4. Repeat the procedure to attach the exhaust fan to the bottom bucket. Make sure the fan's guards are on the outside of the bucket.
5. Use the silicone sealant to close holes between the bucket and the fan housing.
CONNECTION AND TESTING
1. Assemble the bucket.
2. Plug the fans directly into the power strip.
3. Connect the cable of the LED lamp to the timer and this in turn to the power strip.
4. Turn on the power and make sure everything works as intended.

FADD CANNABIS PLANTS AND GROW YOUR OWN WEED
1. Put in a pot with a small seedling.
2. Set the timer.
3. Feed and water your plant until harvest. On average, you can harvest about 28g per pass with your Space Bucket.
SPACE BUCKET MODS AND HACKS
The steps above show how easy it is to make a space bucket. The construction only takes a few hours and you don't need any extraordinary equipment or materials β and it works. But that's not the only way you can make a space bucket. That's the beauty of it. You take an idea and design it according to your own imagination. There are no limits to your imagination. Here are a few ideas that other space bucket hobbyists have implemented:
β’ Use storage containers of sufficient width to grow multiple plants.
β’ Stack multiple buckets or use trash cans to reach more height.
β’ Use a drip system to turn your space bucket into a hydro system.
β’ Add a stronger exhaust air system with carbon filter at the top.
β’ Add additional lighting with CFL or LED strips below the canopy.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROWING GRASS IN SPACE BUCKETS
Growing grass in a space bucket is not too different from the traditional way of growing, although there are a few things to keep in mind. It is advisable to start flowering a little earlier than usual instead of waiting too long. The reason for this is that you need to keep your plants at a smaller size if they are to survive to full maturity. Cannabis plants can stretch by up to 200% once the lighting cycle has been switched to 12/12 to initiate flowering. Furthermore, you should opt for indica rather than sativa strains and use different training techniques to have a better grip on the growth of your plants. Instead of planting directly in the bottom part of your space bucket, you should use a separate pot so that you can easily lift your plants out,
if necessary. This will also keep your Space Bucket clean, so you can start your next growing project immediately after harvesting the previous run. Don't be disappointed if your harvest is lower than expected. Most growers who grow in a space bucket for the first time can harvest about 14β21 grams. Once you have the first few grows in a space bucket behind you, you can get an average of 32g out of your cultivation. The absolute harvest record is just over 85g.
Keep in mind that enlarging your space bucket usually also means adding more lighting bulbs. However, don't overdo it with the size. If you do, you can grow a larger plant, but the lighting will no longer be sufficient to provide more yield. Instead, instead of large and heavy buds, your plants might only produce small, airy popcorn flowers.
SPACE BUCKETS SUMMARY
Space Buckets are an interesting and exciting DIY project that challenges growers and allows them to push the boundaries of what's possible in a small space. You can harvest a small amount of first-class flowers with just a few resources; however, what growing in a space bucket is not primarily about. Rather, it's about learning how to control every aspect of a micro-growing environment and maximize the potency, flavor, resin content, and other desirable properties of a variety. It's up to you whether you want to use this knowledge to improve your next space bucket project or apply it to a traditional grow.
