    Default Hempy Pepsi Bottle

    I thought this section could do with a bit of a dust off as it's a style of growing that doesn't get it's full credit.... ghetto & cheap is what most people think of when it comes to hempy. Maybe they are correct but that doesn't mean it is no good either! Hempy's done well are easily up there with coco.

    For the Pepsi Challenge 2019 I have decided to do a hempy bottle (more to see if it can get around the hydration issues the Pepsi Challenge throws up) and as a lot of you aren't aware of the style then I'll start it all from the start

    First off, need a bottle.... and mark approx 2" from the bottom of it



    What I have done in the second pic is drilled a hole in the bottle where I marked in the pic above.

    I have taken a biro, removed the refill & cap then wrapped a brass pipe screen around the base of the pen & inserted it into the hole....



    Now you don't want that tube (or the gauze) to move so we Araldite it in so it is held in position & leak proof.



    Now I washed a liter of perlite to get rid of the dust & let it dry (I actually did this a couple of days ago)



    Then measure a liter of vermiculite



    And mix the perlite & vermiculite together



    Cut the top off the bottle



    and fill with the mixture...



    Job done for now...
