ok..what am i missing?..and to late..already mixed.

"Well simply put, a Hempy is a container with a Vermiculite and Perlite mix used to grow our favourite plant. The Vermiculite is a highly absorbant natural mineral, Perlite is described as an amorphous volcanic glass. Both are available at your local hydro'

Nah a hempy bucket has no drain holes in the bottom and a big hole about 15 cm from the bottom that has a pipe in it,you can either fill the whole thing with perlite- vermiculite or straight perlite or fill to just above the drain/feed hole with perlite then fill the rest with coco or soil. You feed in through the pipe so the bottom section acts as a resvoir and also wicks up through the media

that to me is a SIP...its just got a hempy mix instead of the usual soil.

thats pretty much what I thought - the hempy is container with a hole on the side a couple inches up from the base that allows it to have a mini-rez in the bottom. it also gets a good rinse every water to stop salt build ups. roots grow down to the res and go apeshit I thought? It doesn't matter what you put in it - can be coco, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton etc.

So yeah - pretty much a sip

I'm doing it cos it looks easy, I can get the dirt out of the house and I should be able to knock a solid week or more off the grow if it goes OK

To you it might be and that's cool but it still doesn't mean to everyone else it does

Sub-irrigated planter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Sub-Irrigated Planter
Sub-irrigated planter (SIP) is a generic name for a special type of planting box used in container gardening and commercial landscaping. A SIP is any method of watering plants where the water is introduced from the bottom, allowing the water to soak upwards to the plant through capillary action.[1] It is possible to automate the watering and thus SIPs are popular with professional landscapers in buildings or urban settings. SIPs are available as products, under brand names such as Planter Technology[2](commercial) and EarthBox[3] (consumer), Ollie Plant Sipper[4](consumer), The Refuge Garden (www.urbanrefugegardening.com) (consumer/commercial) or as do-it-yourselfprojects made from plastic buckets and boxes.[5]

Maybe when you introduce the term bucket to the term Hempy it becomes something else again.

Im saying hempy , your saying hempy bucket.
The hempy thread on RIU is a hempy thread ..even has 4 x 4 flood and drain tables.

So maybe hempy is the mix, perlite, vermiculite but a hempy bucket is a SIP using hempy mix.?

That makes sense and in typical stoner growing confusing.

It's called a hempy bucket because it holds water. There's nothing confusing about it,it's very simple really it's called passive hydro google that one
