hello

 

[perfekto]

Hey i've decided to go hempy buckets but with perlit and vermculit mix is that good enough?. since i've seen so meny that goes coco now days. and i got a 40x40x160 tent for 2 motherplants and some clones going SoG in 2litre's bottle's and is it just perlit that should be in the resivour in the bottle and the rest perlit and vermculit mix 3 to 1 or should it be a blend in the resivour aswell?. and btw when i take clones should i put em in root riot's or Starting Cubes 28mm 7,5 X 7,5cm / Starting Cubes 38mm 7.5 X 7,5cm or these

but there are diffrent sizes from 4centimeter to 28milimeter and 38 milimeters. Sorry for the english and typing i'm not so good at it but i'll be glad for the once that answer and could give me something to go on couse the seeds is already on wet paper and so

And btw i saw these pot's and they look interessting

but these i cant make a resivour since its open in the ground hehe sorry cant write the right words for it as i said my english isent the best. but is there anyway to be able to use this as Hempy Buckets and with some good succes ?

im new at this but,im in 6inch cu off 2liter bottle,all perlite.wen i transplant peat pellet,i flood it,wen it weighed 3/4 of that i wter 2ounces,wen roots hit bottom,i flood from then on.after that wen i got to water this time,i have to run it drier then before,from then out,my pot wants to feel really light wen it wants water.the moisture meter is only good down to its driest reading,pots still not dry enough,cuz the pots not light enough,thats the key for me.plant was purpling from top down,before i figured it out,geting watered too soon.by keepng my data,i was able to ,me fi ,me self.btw across from parents major bust,raid,growers..0 arest,florida..hey u know they gotta away,andthere still runing today!....peace moon/santa gandum style...merry x-mas ummm bannana cimmion muffins/

+1 on that comment. Ive been telling my p for weeks now to 'feel' the pots and let them tell u when to water. All the last ones we cut, i pulled out the stalks and the entire bottom was root less. roots were sparse. Hes not allowing the 2ls to dry up enough and thus allowing the roots to search for water. Im no Bio major but i took hort in High school and taking turf classes now, and i know YOU GOTTA LET HEMPYS DRY OUT> hempy clearly stated at the beginning dont get to where they are wilting. but feel your plants people and they'll make u feel good!

i got this...proably one of the easiest things i ever did...he he hee....lol/dont stop the partyyyyyyyzzzzzzz

 

[dubwise]

Yeah man, there is a huge difference in the plants growth when you allow them to dry out a piece....I use 2g to 5g containers with intervals of 2 to 3 days between watering...makes a great big difference.

 

[grassott's dad]

I'm not sure why people would wanna grow in them 2ltr bottles. Just 3 or 4 plants in 1 or 2gal hempy buckets is great for small spaces and a pound is quite achievable in an enclosed 4x4 space

You just gotta know how to utilise your grow space and manipulate it's environment. Oh, and great genetics is a massive plus

 

[moonymonkey]

i agree should put 3,4 cuts in gallon bucket,i had to test run first with 2 liters.yea i was loking at that idea after i was already comitted,an read ur post today,next timexxx def. excellant idea..yep word for me is really light and dry pots..just wat the doctor ordered.peace happy new years! mm/bundle crazyzzzz

Have to disagree with that. I am getting much bigger yields watering daily in 2 gallon pots than I got watering/feeding every 3 days in 5 gallon pots. The daily watering/feeding gives the plants hydro roots, and the growth rate is much more explosive due to fresh solution (oxygen) to the roots. This is in coco, with chunky perlite rez. The daily watering is much like using a drip system. The plants love fresh solution/oxygen. Easy enough to check. On your next run, try the daily watering/feeding on some pots, and see the difference.
At least that's how it has worked for me after many hempy runs.

hempy bucket and holder saucer.

hempy bucket and holder saucer.


9lt=2.3 gal. perlite and coco hempy grow. bucket as you can see fits nice inside, when ya gota move the bastard ya just grab the hole lot up top and move it or drain if any . iran hardly any, but bottom box holds a fair amount of runnoff, being square it fits in any space better, think i had 20 = 23 in 4x3 or bit bigger, another 4 sitting on plank on hinges in walkway, lift up of night time before lights out and walk out setting 4 onto plant, cant wast space yu know, i ran a raised platform, hence the plank on hinges. igot more photos still have'nt worked out how to put more than i photo in . hope this helps somebody in the hempy bucket brigade out.

heres another shot bucket 9.lt=2.3gl. bottom holder=saucer.

hope i did not butt in on your story line there retrogrow.

Perhaps on the smaller containers, but I most certainly see better growth if I've allowed the plants to dry a bit between watering. But I dont use coco, I use 100% perlite, so maybe there's where we differ.

 

[whitelight]

Dub When you say you use 100 percent perlite Do you mean you do not use vermiculite?

 

[dubwise]

Correct, no vermiculite anymore....I haven't in over a year and find no difference in growth...The perlite is much easier to clean and reuse without the vermiculite mixed in, in my experience.

That's the ticket!
When you switch to coco, you will see a massive difference. Chunky perlite for the rez.
Hempy did.

 

[RetroGrow]

and i know YOU GOTTA LET HEMPYS DRY OUT>

Not true. Hempys are hydro. If you water/feed every day, at least in coco, you will get much better results due to hydro roots. I've done it every which way, and daily watering FTW!
