This is an inspiring community that has gotten me excited about these efficient little growing spaces. It's fun and easy to build these buckets!

First, a little PSA before I talk about how easy (and cheap!) it is to build blindingly bright LED modules. I see a lot of questions about which is better aluminum foil or mylar. Mylar is aluminized plastic. Yes, it's more flexible and easier to work with, but it's also a lot more expensive than a roll of aluminium foil.

Unfortunately, I was wrong. I thought I liked the amount and general variety of content posted by u/hoopingdotorg, but they have completely overwhelmed r/hooping, to the frustration of many users.

So, from now on, I will be VERY selective about approving links from u/hoopingdotorg. I think it'
