I used to have three 5 gallon bucket swc. Found them to be a PITA. Once plants get big, they are too thirsty and I have to water everyday. I used a ring of fert and that seemed to work fine in terms of growth. You can always add liquid fertilizer later in the season. MG works fine. If you're willing to pay the $ then some of the organics are marvelous.
