Helo well I have grown in soil in the past. I wanna try something new. So I thinking of a 100% perlite hempy bucket grow 0r a coco coir grow. So what would be easier and better for my plants? I understand that you use hydro nutes for a hempy bucket and coco coir nutes that are made for coco grows. I just wanna keep it simple and try something new.

I personally like running coco. If you want to stay simple and try something new coco is definitely easy. I have never ran 100% perlite Hempy bucket grow so I cant give you an opinion about it. Hope this helps and good luck!

I'm stuck on coco currently, but I have ran perlite hempys for years. The plants just look a tad happier in coco. If I were starting out again though I would start with perlite. You can use any kinda hydro nutrient you want. I suggest beginning with the tried and true General Hydroponics flora series. There is a metric ton of information growing with those nutrients in hempy buckets. My 2 cents.

Coco Hempy in Canna Coco with Canna's Coco A and B and pk 13/14.

Just make sure the pH of your nute solution is between 5.5 and 5.8 and to never let the coco get dry.

can you get good size plants using 1gallon buckets for hempy buckets?
