quesition for the hempy bucket guys,useing GH 3part nutes

[tommyboi_420]

anyone running the GH 3part at full strength in hempy buckets?...currently im running 3ML of micro,grow,bloom along with 1.5ML of super thrive and 2.5ML of silica blast per gallon. my PPM's are around 450-475 and i PH to 6.0 however im getting yellow lower leaves a lot,and also black spots that are crumble dry as well on the bottom..so im thinking im way under feeding my girls and my Nitrogen is to low and my Potassium as well i transplanted from 16 0z solo cups to 3 gallon buckets 7 days ago...i germed them on the 22 of november so there 71 days old today(64 days they sat in them damn solo cups) i had a move to a new house so thats why they were in the cups for so long(better safe than sorry) i think the roots have hit the 3 gallon res now(2 feedings since transplant) and they need feed today.any input would be helpful

lucas formula ratios work well with the hempy bucket and gh.i use tapwater at 180ppm,and if perlite is the medium i use 6ml micro per gallon and 12ml bloom.i recently switched to coco coir and h3ad's formula of 6ml micro/9ml bloom works great for that.the grow is not needed as the micro has more nitrogen.also if your buckets are on the floor, make sure you put something between the bottom of the bucket and the floor so your res temps don't get too cold up there in the frosty north.hope that helps bro

up the ppms a little.

Or make it easy and do the lucas formula GP^^ posted about. Works great.

I have run the 0-8-16 lucas forumla in hempy buckets with GREAT success!!!
DROP the superthrive, and water every 3 days till about a oz dribbles out the weep hole.... GOOD LUCK!!!

This question interests me as well. I am planning on using the 20% vermiculite 80%perlite recipe in my future buckets. Ideally I will be transplanting cuttings rooted either in Rapid Rooters or Rockwool to these buckets.

So would I start the 8ml Micro, 16 ml Bloom first watering upon transplant into the hempy bucket? Environment is 800 Watts in 4x4 space, good air circulation, bit warm (not hot, just about right).

Thanks for the help guys.
