Hempy bucket - What am I doing wrong?

[dR. HerbLove]

I keep mine around 6.2 every watering from clone to veg to flower. I would also suggest adding vermiculite next time. I use floranova grow for veg and nova bloom for flower. Its very simple I would be giving them around 1 tsp per gallon or roughly 600 ppm at your stage. Just keep the ph at 6.2 the entire time every watering. Check these out and check out my grow to see hempys from start to now 14 days 12/12.

Damn those are some nice bitches! I have been considering vermiculite, but I have seen other pople do well with just perlite, plus my funds are very low at the moment. I am definitely switching to FloraNova when these nutes run out. They seem so simple and error proof! Are you sure they are suppose to be at 6.2? I cannot get a straight answer as to what I should have the pH at! You say 6.2, others say 5.8... either way my plant is not doing well! CRAP! Regardless, I appreciate the input. BTW are yours perlite and verm?

Dr. G;

I am most definitely a noob to this sport, but I have done a good amount of research and practice and so far, for my needs and limitations, the hempy bucket has been the winner.

My first attempt was a DWC. I found that maintaining the reservoir was quite a chore for me! First, I could never find a way to stabilize the pH. There was always growth and shit growing in my tub, which would fuck up the pH, which would fuck up my plants. Even more difficult than that was maintaining a cool temperature for the soln. My place gets hot during the summer, so I was always scrambling to fight 80+ deg soln. Conclusion: FAILED

Next, a very helpful and prolific poster (Al B. Fuct) convinced me to ditched organic nutes (For Farms) for synthetics and try ebb/flow. Much better results, but I was still very annoyed at the amount of effort I had to exert in order to control the reservoir. Conclusion: Mediocre harvest

While searching for solutions online for my Ebb/Flow woes, I stumbled across the hempy bucket thread (Azgrow). I thought it sounded awesome and their results seem to speak for themselves. For shits and giggles, I took a clone from a plant and to me surprise it did pretty well. I didn't get to harvest because of a move, but now I am back for Hempy Part Deux. Unfortunately, it's been a failure thus far.

dont worry youll find what you like soon

To me ebb and flow is the easiest

Get a giant rez and your shit will stablize

But whatever works for you works


All those people who say pot is just a weed its not and its pretty difficult to grow perfect meds hang in there youll get it soon maybe try promix?
