no problems..I'm patient..I've actually just decided to dedicate a clone or two to this..
I'll feed them aerated water with (parts) of the General Organics line, and update as to what happens..Best way sometimes is to just do it.

I hate ta say it , but you could be right JF.......Da Hempy never did take variations off his gospel setup too lightly for yrs and yrs at many weedsites although I did hear that he changed his holy grail ta coco up top with perlite in the mini-rez`s awhile back .......
Possibly as close to being debated and argued over a system as the krusty wars back in the day............Somebody always wantin ta change shit up for their own reasonsta make shit bigger and better , and both krusty AND Hempy usedta hit the damn roof bout the questions bout howta improve on perfection as they saw it..........
Hempy`s helped a lotta folks over the yrs guaranteed and for that he deserves bigtime respect in my book , but there is nuthin new under the sun......only upgrades........
Hempy nor Krusty liked hearin bout upgrades but I think coco above with some type of rocks in the bottom 2" would be a good passive hydro setup................
Again.....Respect Hempster........don`t take shit on the net so seriously........In 100 yrs nobody`ll give a shit anyways.......life`s too short.......
Peace....DHF.........

You guys are funny nice try you know the ones that took my advice grew great plants and still are.
Why is it some of you think and feel by modifying something some of you have not even tried believe you can make it better do you honestly think i would care if you or any one modified it and in fact achieved a better result i would be upset ? and if you honestly think this then your very mistaken and foolish.
This type of remarks is what make me not want to shear any thing any longer like its shit for thanks if you ask me.
The amount of people that have had bad grows or even grows fail by people that think there spin on it was better than my basic formula is fact and has happened more than you think and whats sad is not one of them that claim to have a better spin on it could post a picture of a plant growing that would even come close to my plants that's not ego talking that's reality.
I am leaving because i am tired of the bull shit i am tired of the direction i see this community going and i am tired of people being nasty to others and tired of the bull shit so for know i am staying over at shantis and if i still feel as i do i now i will log out from there to but for now that's it am staying only at shantis.
I really hate to say this but do you 2 really believe this type of negativity makes this community a better place for others to come and shear and enjoy this hobbies with people it does not in the real world people that love this plant do not conduct them self's as you do because if they did they be nocket the fuck out.
And as for coco what is wrong with using coco as a hydro medium ? What 22 oz cured from one plant in a 10 lt bucket growing under 30 watts per sq ft not good inuf think agine.
My account has not been removed yet i will still read from time to time but have asked to be deleted my advice to you is leave the bull shit for you plants get off you high horses and stop acting like you know it all you don't.
lol, it was a joke. Holy shit guy lose the attitude. Not like filling a bucket with medium was anything new when you did it. Same method has come out of many areas of the world and except for you nobody else named it after themselves.
Right now I have some planters on my balcony with drain holes pre-drilled into their sides. Sell them everywhere here in Japan. Would you like thanks from the Japanese as well?
Guess we'll see you sometime at another site someday and the cycle will repeat.

Thanks for the red rep to by the way very mature of you.
First off i did not name it others at cannabis world did after i posted the method they called it the hempy bucket not me so your wrong there to no surprise.
Next thing you need to understand i have explained how i came up with this method many times i got a aquapoinics kit from a guy that's run and owned a hydro research and development company since 1969 i took my idea from him from that kit i put lots of time into experimenting to get it to were you see it i use it i have great results from it i shared it i did nothing more yes shit for thanks by a few.
I went back as i only got my supplies from him as no hydro stores were even open here at that time and for many years later and even he the owner that has many degrees like physics/ agriculture and many more and i believe 5 books or more out on hydroponics also did not believe it would work so i knew back in the 80s no others were even using any thing like this.
I have read the so called links by set person trying to claim i stole this idea well go read them there not even close to my method.
When the hydro stores started to open i would go look see what was available and speech to so called experts to be only larft at then told it would cause root rot so on just like the online canna community did until i posted pictures of my plants then the larfing soon stooped.
A lot of this shit started from docs site i wont name names but i have a lot of the posts saves they know who they.
This is the ugly side of this on line community and sadly it gets a lot more ugly than this what you see here is nothing to what goes on by some people few of you even know about.
You seam like a descent guy young but descent do me a favor before you mouth off or rubbish some one get your facts in order.
No problem man, I thought your comments were uncalled for so I gave you a red. I don't give out that many but sometimes people deserve them.
Method? Watering and feeding your plants just like you would in soil? You method? Do you know how many people around the world do the same thing just by letting their collection dish fill with water? I wouldn't call that your method, I'd call it growing, but you can call it your method if you wish.
I know, you just kept using the name everywhere and have this huge attitude that has gone to your head. I don't care about your history, I don't care about other sites politics. You attitude sucks though.

Do they why because your right and there not in your mind no one deserves red negative rep i in fact feel and think its childish and something staff and icmag needs to think about removing.
Mate grow up a dish on the base of a pot is very different to a bucket with a built in rez that has a simple hole on the side to control the internal rez height.
I experimented with different size buckets and bucket shapes internal rez heights for a long time to fine tune it like i sed it don't bother me as i got it were i wanted and then sheard it what have i done that so wrong here what have you done or shared with the community that's right negative reps big positive lol.
I use what name every were ? i post here and at mr nice the method is posted all over the boards not by me but others.
I don't have an attitude you do here and your full of it like i care what you think.
Honesty in real life would you come up to me and say even half the shit you have here no so why do it here i will tell you because you like many others on the net love to treat people like shit because it makes you feel better about your self but you my friend look like a sad missrible human being with nothing constructive to offer.
Think you like a few others need to add some sativa intro your diet lol.
Look guy, after seeing you throw hissy fits all over the net don't get an attitude if we say, "here it goes again," obviously people knew what I was talking about. Now here you are again throwing another hissy fit, blaming people for running you away with their negativity, all the while being rude yourself.
Here's what you have to offer
hole 2 inches up
Cocco
OK thanks, sorry to see you leave but we know you'll come back again.

People can read mate you keep giving people red mojo messages and further they advancement of cannabis lol.
Yes they can read, and they've read you doing the same thing all over the net whenever you think you aren't getting the respect you deserve. Weren't you leaving?

Dalaihempy
I do care about people respecting each other in fact and even more so in this hobbie unlike you and people like you that feel its okay to treat who ever you like as shit your loss rember that as lots of people will just stop caring and shearing.
I am not leaving icmag because of you your to funny you give your self to much importance my friend lol.
I have asked to be deleted days ago.... https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=185540
I am leaving because of mixed reasons and reasons you are not worthy of me shearing that with so on that not see you in the real world when this plant is free then please come up to my face and try this in real time i dear you to
because i really don't like for smart asses or bull shit.Now stop wasting every ones time and stop acting like a know it all spoilt brat.
Hold up there, a few pages back you went into a rant blaming me for you leaving, saying I'm more or less what's wrong about this community because I made a joke. You then went on to insult me again and again and you don't know shit about me guy, you don't know how many thousands of people I've helped, how many people I've set up here in Japan so don't lecture me about anything ok?
So if what you call treating people like shit is saying, "maybe somebody asked him about adding air-stones" then you are totally whacked out of your mind to go along with that monster ego you have. Maybe find a site of total nubes, that seems to be more to your liking.
What really sucks about these kinds of sites are people like you, the good thing is you've already said everything you're ever going to say to help people, the rest is just attitude and it's boring.

In Thailand and other Asian countries in that region have been using buckets and even coconut shells filled with chopped up coconut husks for years. Granted Hempy was probably the first to bring to the cannabis community and maybe even the hydroponic community in general.
I've tried the Hempy method a few times and had good results but have since modified the bucket a bit. But Hempies are still what I recommend to new growers or even experienced soil/hydro growers who want to try something different.
So here's my "bucket" system...
I use a 3.5gal bucket, with a 2-inch pvc pipe attached to the inside side of the bucket (I use aquarium glue). The bottom end of the pipe has several holes drilled into it. I then place 1.5-inch Styrofoam ball into the pipe and then stick a metal rod flag marker (like those used for utility line marking) into the ball. I lift the flag up 2-inches and make a mark (I just wrap a piece of duct tape there). What that does is make it very easy to just look at the flag and see if the plant needs to be watered. If the flag is lowered to the point that it's touching the top of the pvc pipe, it's time to water! I just fill until the flag raises back up to the 2-inch mark.
Before I fill the bucket with medium, I take wire fencing material such as used for chicken coops (1-inch mesh). I make a tube with the mesh, about 8 inches in diameter (might be 6-inch, it's been a while since I built the buckets) and about 2 inches shorter then where the top of the medium will be (about 3 inches from top of bucket). I fill outside the mesh tube with about 3 inches of rinsed lava rock, and inside the mesh tube with about 1 inch of same lava rock. I fill the rest of the bucket, both inside & outside the wire mesh with a mixture of coco coir, perlite and even some potting soil. I then water the medium directly from the top until the flag raises. I then place the lid on the top of the bucket. The lid has two holes cut out. One along the side for the pvc pipe to poke through and one in the center - about 3 maybe 4 inches in diameter.
I no longer transplant plants. I simply take a rapid rooter type plug containing either a seed or a cutting, and place it in the center of the lid hole in the medium.
From then on when I water/feed - I pour directly down the pvc pipe. The medium wicks it up and the roots go down to drink. The mesh has helped the plants become stronger as the roots now have some to really hold on too (my fans are pretty strong). I've also noticed having the lids on has helped keep the room's humidity down - I'm guessing due to less evaporation from the medium.
I know it sounds complicated but only for the initial set-up. Once set-up, I haven't even bothered to change medium between grows. Just chop the whole plant, pull out as much as the stem root as possible (about an inch or so down) just so there's room for the next rapid rooter type plug. I just leave the old roots in there. Just started my third grow with this system and have had great results!
It's kinda like a hempy inspired earthbox bucket.
I might actually try a couple of these buckets with mostly soil mixture next grow as I still think soil is the best tasting.

I got to use what everybody thinks is a scrog screen above my perlite hempy so they don't fall over. I bet one could just throw some rocks on top of the medium for support as well.

is this 2nd grade??
Hempy, you don't have to wait until your account gets deleted to stop posting..do you realize that??
I often see people on here say they are going to leave, but they are only seeking attention and posts telling them how great they are..
Either really leave, or admit that you may have acted a bit rash, and are staying..
I am new to your method, but am having great success with it. I will continue to use it as originally instructed using lucas feeding.
That said, you shouldn't really get mad about people asking questions on variations that they can do themselves. It is better to nurture creativity than bash it down.
You yourself developed this method modifying methods that came before you, and you stated that you tested different aspects and variations for years to get there..You shouldn't take so much offense from people doing the same from you.
