    Default FIrst Hempy

    Gonna start a Hempy grow but was just wondering a few daft questions.

    When people say use 3 parts Pertile and 1 part vermiculite is this mixed together or am i to put the 3 parts pertile in bottom then a 1 part layer on top of that?

    Also do you feed every water or feed feed water?

    Just some general tips, tried reading a lot but so many variations.]


    cheers scooby

    Mix it evenly, the point to the perlite is to help with drainage through the vermiculite, it can't do that if it is sitting above or below the vermiculite, there is no soil in a hempy.

    some people say its best to use all pertile. been using airpots with small 1cm rockwool cubes, its been a right chew on so gonna try this hempy bucket stuff.

    also any ideas on best feed routine? gonna be using canna vega and canna flora.

    I have not done one myself mate, but I have read up on them somewhat. goggle hempy grow and you will find many grow diaries out there. as for just perlite alone, I can't see how that could hold any moisture for more that a few mins, surely its just going to fall straight through.

    I'm running Greenpoison in 10lt hempy buckets (week4 of bloom), used 100% coco, no clay pebbles or vermiculite etc in the res,coco from top to bottom , it's looking really productive with no obvious issues!
