cool good luck it, should be fine are you watering every other day cos the roots haven't hit the res yet or because it needs it ? i found that i only had to water once every three or four days as the pots got light the plants root stretch out more if you let it get really light it pre-motes growth
nice to have another hempy bro

Ive got 5 indi dominant plants in hempy buckets with potting grit as the medium (its was cheap from garden center) seems to be working anyway, one of the two that have just shown to be fem is doing really well, branches everywhere, had to pinch the stem and bend her over cos she was almost hitting the hps. Looking forward to the outcome from these hempys as its me first attempt and so far Im impressed! I heart hempy

I've got a hempy on the go right now. She's probably half the size of the 3 dwc ladies. But she is so effortless. I water twice a week with a ph of 5.9-6.1. And thats it, growing very nicely. Compared to dwc it's so relaxing, no piss arsing around adding water or ph down every days or piping from the air pump trailing everywhere. I may take a break from DWC and just do hempy buckets for a while.
hmmm, picking up a new tent next week, and im thinking a bout a 60 ltr hempy scrog..........
well i've only just germinated..6 inidica seeds...going in 16litre coco hempy buckets... will keep you guys posted

cool does the grit wick? if it doesnt try a bit of water every day just to keep the uppper root happy just a thought nm
simples is the word fly shame about the balls
if you doing that it might be best to raise it up and then you can have a big run off tray for when you need to flush it out, like if you feel there a problem and it needs a flush, it takes a lot of water unless you put a bung in the very bottom just for such times and you can remove the worse of the nutes and flush it much quicker with less water,
im finding that a 10 L bucket take ages to get the ec down if just trying to flush with out tipping the lower res out by putting the bucket on it side to drain i use a hose to flush mine if i was stuff in a tent i would defo made the bung hole right at the bottom for a scrog didi other than that i think it would be a simple way to scrog
as this is the whos doing what thread
im running coco hempys and liking the coco much more it holds twice as much water which they drink nearly as quickly i get a extra day if i want it and i think they grow better in it
ive found i dont want more than 1.2/1.4 ec ever, once they are a good sized plant the last two week i hit em with 1.5/1.6
im running new buckets for next grow they are 20L with 2 inch ball air stones in a up turned net pot deep res 3.5/4 inches, pipes for the run off to go in to one pot to save on lifting the things to empty the bowls they sit in, lid on them to stop evaperation which i feel is quite a lot (ive had rot problems in flower) lowers the rh which is high in my room
the thinking behind the air stone is, when i repot a hempy the roots are never well in to the res they just seem to dip the toes in it , and a active bucket (ive read changes this)
so ive gone from being so simple but hope to improve certain things i need like the lifting and needing to water a bit less and i love a bit of tech lol
still learning about hempys but i do like the simples side to it compared to my nft
happy growing guys
like a dwc and the root all grow well into the res
Gman, I doubt it wicks so have been feeding every day to be on the safe side
