The Official Hempy Bucket Thread

considering organic hempy if my current organic soil run doesn't pick up

50/50 perlite/vermiculite for the res, for the rest of the bucket 10% perlite, 20% vermiculite, and 70% coco, espoma garden tone mixed in for veg and tomato tone mixed in for flower, plain water/dirt md alternating feedings

the idea is for the espoma nutes to break down and leach into the res, becoming more concentrated as the plants get bigger, with the coco providing availability for the rest of the root structure

What's the dirt for?

@mexweed
Start a grow report as I would love to follow. I really like the concept and I want you to prove me wrong, but I don’t think you could use the Epsoma nutrients as they break down too slowly; primarily for soil.
I think the success of hempies is it’s passive hydroponic foolproof-ness.

Anybody use molasses in their hempy pot? I usually hit mine once or twice; week 7 & 10 flowering....very weak, diluted.

sounds like a SIP but with media in the res.

Should work well with a good tea.

came up with the idea because I have some leftover vermiculite, dirt md is a fulvic/humic supplement, I was considering doing alternating pure blend tea/liquid karma too, mainly thought of it because my soil run seemed stalled but I think they are taking off now

I run mini hempys with cocoa and ewc teas.
Honestly thinking on filling my whole room with them

Hi
Slow thread but.......
Grew hempy years ago with great results.
Few years back I switched to organic notill with fantastic results, but life changed.
So.
I am now growing my first return to hempy grow, in perilite/vermiculite hempy in 2.5 gallon containers
40 watts square foot of quantum board led.
Every 3-4 days watering with megacrop @ 550 ppm s
R/o water
So what would be better
To add Mykos or add Dr Mary Jane root probiotic.
I’ve got both from my notill but just. Wondering Wich May work better

I did read and follow the thread here and the one at mr nice but sadly it seamed to attract a lot of drama at times.Some people just cant help it they need to be the expert even if they have no clue. Years later i am honestly glad i shared it i see so many using it and loving it still.

Holy shit what a flashback!!!

 

[festerous]

A few years ago I decided to try some sun gold tomatoes, in 5 gallon hempy buckets, with Coco and pure blend pro nutes.

The results were phenomenal with each plant reaching well over 12' at 43 north in partial shade.

Simple as could be.

I learned a lot from this grow as I wasn't worried about anything and pushed the ppm to the max with great results.

 

[starke]

For simplicity and good repeatable results it is hard to beat hempys.

Hempies and coco are the main way I grow!

Question for the elders and hempy experts...

Question for the elders and hempy experts...

Hi,


I´m gonna start my 1st hempy grow with KISS Method.
3/1 Perlite/Vermiculite

Automated feeding subirrigated.



So I was concerned about water evaporation, and find this image on google.
Do you guys think if putting a black plastic at the top of the bucket will affect my plants due a lack of gas exchange or it will not be an issue?


I don't like green algae in my substrate.


Thanks

Hey fellow hempy growers. Not sure if it’s been answered over the 400+ pages but do hempy buckets need lids? Or should I cover my buckets with something?

Short answer is NO.



Just keep it simple and you will get the best results

 

[mexweed]

I never used lids, I would think it could possibly end up rotting the roots

Hey Reggie - Is that a 3x3 and what is the grate/stand they are sitting on? I guess what is under it too and does it make draining and clearing the space a lot easier?

Hi mate sorry I didn’t know you replied. It’s a 4x4. It’s a mesh panel I found at my hardware store. And laying (attached) on a 20L tote. I have a pump in the tote and empty it daily if I can. It is easier to clean but I don’t have any room really in my tent. The panel is 900x800mm. But now I’m in flower and my tents getting packed
