Hey everyone, new to hempy and interested in the thread. Building my 1st hempy as we speak for some L.A. Woman and RockLock and ready to get it going... Was going to use a 3 - 1 Perl/Verm mix and the hydroton on the bottom under the water line. Going to add an airstone to the rez as a friend has had good results that way. I was told to use vermiculite instead of coco because coco leads to pH trouble? Does Coco effect your pH? Using Botanicare grow, bloom, liquid karma, cal mag and sweet... I have always grown in soil and have never started seeds for a Non-Soil grow so I'm a little freaked about that.
3:1 is the ratio in most of the info I have read... 9:1 is news to me. What I meant about the rez was simply putting an air stone below the water line in the bucket to aerate the water at the bottom of the bucket. Why would that effect a mix and does coco cause pH troubles?
Thanks HBallz... I'm here to learn which can be very hard as usually the people with the answers crap on you instead of teach. I thought the thread was about perlite/coco hempy? Then you just said, "but if you're using coco you can't call it a hempy, because it just simply isn't "... Guess I'm just too many bong hits into my morning. Thought you were talking about adding coco to hempy buckets instead of Vermiculite. I will for sure listen to your advice and go light on the verm. Thanks for the input! I have 3gal buckets, I'm putting my holes 2" from the bottom and filling the bottom up to the water line with hydroton. Going to start in SuretoGrow starter plugs and go with your 9:1 ratio. Fuck the air stone at the bottom in fact I just threw it across the room.
Thanks for the help HbAllz... I'm on it with 1" and a 9:1, Like I said this will be my 1st grow out of soil. I'm like a caveman standing upright. But they say hempy is so easy we can do it.
What strain is that coda? Nice autumn colors... Was that from your flush? I'm loving hempy already. Have had great results in soil I would also recommend Roots Organic btw to anyone who cares. Just simply kick ass soil. I'm using Botanicare nutes but I do have questions about some shit and any input would be great! When it comes to nutes, what is best for a hempy bucket? I planned on running the Feed Chart on the Botanicare site but cutting it in 1/2. In soil my pH always ran about 6.5... Does it NEED to be in the 5.7,5.8,5.9 hydroponic range? Last question, promise! Can you easily flush a hempy grow? Here is some Greenhouse Seeds GreatWhiteShark, week 6 and looking way more lovely than my wallpaper. Thanks for the help guys!
