Hempy Buckets.

I'm thinking of Hempy buckets for my next grow. Ive played with the common hempy mix (vermiculite and perlite) before in a drain to waste but the buckets seem to have a small reservoir at the bottom like a SIP, but I belive they are top watered. Anyways Q is what Nutrients are the go. Drain to waste or?

i got some screens woild tbat work iv also got one of those long mettal lighters but a jet one

idk, the jet lighters wont heat up my nail enough to get a clean burn, hence why we use big fkrs like Cocoa and Dope posted, so I'm guessing there in the same boat.
Remember I'm new to dabs to apart from hot knifing hash back in the day. (and we didn't call that dabbing)

You might not belive it but in Sydney in the very late 80s early 90s hash was pretty much all u could get. It was everywhere and flower was hard to find.

you didnt say its like a SIP did you :O

just fuckin with ya. I'm running them straight perlite, a couple mini ones are coco on top with a perlite res and a couple others are straight perlite with a soil cap (these are going outdoor and I wanted to retain a bit of moisture - probably should have gone 50/50 perlite/vermiculite or coco for this but I'll see how it goes as theres no shortage of seeds to pop).

Also, I'm bottom feeding mine by way of some PVC pipe down the side of the pot so the medium doesnt get build up. Im using the GH maxi stuff and it seems OK so far, Id avoid anything too organic so it doesnt get all filthy in the rez. pH between 5.7 and 6.3 - i vary it a bit every so often by a point here or there to help with uptake. dont know if this works but it hasnt hurt so far

Take this with a grain of salt - I'm no expert on growing hempy style but wanted to dip my toe in the hydro world and this seemed the easiest and cheapest way

what size buckets are you running? When ever you may get the chance to post a pic id appreciate it. I think id stick to the original mix idea. Vermiculite and perlite do seem to work well together.
How long can you leave it for before watering in late veg?

lights off at the moment but I'll snap a pic of a c99 for you later on. Mine are only 5 litre containers but I'm not vegging long at all (3 weeks from seed so probably a week or 2 veg all said and done - depends on when you count the start of veg) and I'm flipping tonight or tomorrow so I'm be watering more than is ideal but I'm around to do it so I'm not fussed. Just to give you an idea, I'm watering every second day and the res is pretty well dry in that time so it will be daily feeds very soon. If I were going to go a 4-6 week veg then I'd grab 10 or 20L buckets. Once I've done my seed runs this go around and learned my way around growing in a hempy I'm planning on doing just that with an original amnesia I've been meaning to run to get it big and grow some horse penises

quick edit - just did the rough maths on container size and its 4 and a bit litres give or take a couple hundred mL

actually, here you go. just yanked one out so you can have a look. lights on in an hour or so but I'm going out tonight so wont be on later.

One thing I definitely wont do next time is use such a tall thin pot. with a bigger diameter the res at the bottom would hold a LOT more and watering wouldnt be such a chore. I'm a bit of a deadshit so I didnt think of this at the time but you live and learn :D I expect to have a couple issues at the end with the pot size but seeing some of the giant plants people have grown in coke bottles I reckon I should be able to keep it under control - touch wood
