    Red face total fucking newbie here.

    Hey, so Ive spent the last 3 weeks reading through the forums trying to figure out the best way for me to grow. my requirements are it has to be cheap to set up, easy to grasp and maintain, and yield a humungous crop. so my planned setup is a 1.2m tent with 600w hps/sun master if theres a difference? 150mm filter/fan. I should add I have already looked at the scrog method and will be using this hopefully.

    I think Ive decided upon hempy buckets to help me with my quest but am a little confussed.
    In G-Man's thread on the buckets he has helpful pictures but I am confussed as to why in one picture the bucket is half filled with medium and clone, the next picture it is full. Am I being stupid?
    Is it the root ball that makes the medium rise?



    thanks.

    If you want to do a cheap grow and are new to it, maybe soil would be the way to go.
    Far less £££ spent on equipment and nutrients.

    If you want to do hempys, just read up as much as you can about it. Theres loads of stuff on the interweb
    It does cost more in terms of substrate/nutrients/monitoring equipment if you got the hydro rather than soil route though, and is much easier to fuck up.

    i've only ever grown 1 hempy bucket(so not the best person to advise)but when i did mine i filled the pot then planted the cutting and the medium stayed that level/size right the way through

    personally i'd recommend coco or maybe even soil but thats just me,good luck and welcome to the forum!!
