    Default 1st Hempy grow

    Hello everyone I am just getting everything together for my first attempt with the hempys been growing a while with the biobizz soil,nutes but fancy a new challenge lol ive tried most ways nft.aero,f,d etc so got the basic grasp of ph and ec and its good to keep experiencing new ways.just waiting for my cheesydicks to finnish and As soon as my mothers are mature enough for cuttings I will start a diary Will be growing cheese with plant magic hydro range. Anywayz I was wondering other then ph and e.c etc is there any real problems that anyone ran into with this system so far from what ive read it seems pretty fool proof I just cant believe the simplicity of it a bucket with a hole lol

    Thx for your replys peeps. I have heard a few people have had problems with r/rot with hempys is this a common prob as the water sits there ,do people use say oxyplus or other additives to prevent this ? ive heard of people putting airstones in the bottom of there hempys to keep them airated or is it just due to over watering the medium. Its a problem I have never come across so don't no a great deal about it and will be my home work for today lol sorry for all the Qs but I like to have a good grasp on what might need to be put right and be ready saves all the stress later

    if you change the water daily then it shouldnt be a problem an stay oxygenated till the next day.......or get an air pump an stone an it will be fine for a week.

    the other problem is water temps. to high an root rot will start to take hold so you may wanna think about that before starting as well mate.

    also black plastic to keep the light out of the water.
    good luck mate.

    I would think an airstone is a great idea to put in the rezz, oxy+ used once or twice week should also help keep the system sterile and clean.
