i say its a Modified 2 litre Hempy style grow, but i think i would call it a supersize autopot type ghetto style grow thats really cheap

its my first time using the 2litre hempy type style, and coco and og kush,

im using a 600w hps and hesi nutes and trying to keep everthing really simple, the only reason im doing it this way is for an easy life.

im using 2 litre bottles with the tops cut off, i fill the bottles to around 5" with straight perlite and top off the bottle with coco, there are 10 vertical cuts in the bottles from the very bottom, around 2" up to where the hole would go in the hempy.

then i flushed each bottle until the water ran clear because the only coco i could get at short notice was un-buffered, i will be getting the good coco from here on in coz that was a fuck on lol

the bottles all are sitting in a 1m square drip tray at the minute with the water level at 2"




they had 2 days grow and went straight into flower on 14/10


this was on 7/11... just over 3 weeks and look well on target for finishing mid december after 8 weeks flower

the hesi nutes stabilize the ph of the res at 6 and rarely changes

every 3 days i feed them and so far they drink enough so i dont have to recirculate the feed but in time i wish to add an auto feeding system from 10 m of tube and a pump in the res on a timer.

i think that if i put a hole in a bottle 2" high and place it in the res with the lid on it will keep the water level costant and i will one day be able to leave them a week at a time if needed assuming the bottle holds enough but thats just a thought idk

i used correx board to top the res with 25 4" holes evenly cut

16 of the plants are og kush and i have some pineapple express and freeby's

cost very little to set up especially if i had recycled bottles and didn't have to buy them

im really pleased with this so far but any advice is much appreciated as im new to this method and i would welcome any constructive input for this project

Subbed!! Always been interested in hempy grows, I tried it once but every day when the lights came on the clone was wilted over. I didn't realise how much they need watered until the roots reach the res. Anyway good luck.

cheers bud, idk much about this method yet myself lol but i didnt have much problem with the seedlings as i think the coco and the perlite were wicking water up quite well as i wasnt feeding everyday and they thrived in the first week , they absolutely took off after that so far im loving this coco shit :-o

day 27 and looking ok , the popcorn are really starting to swell up,especially on the og, they will be lolly-popped soon and maybe defoliated a little.im hoping for fat colas on these girls

i put a different amount of perlite at the bottom of each,ranging from 3" to 5" and they are all petty uniform with no noticeable difference between apart from 1 runaway sativa i had to break its neck today

Looking good my friend. Can't wait to see your results!
cheers bud, im hoping to get lots of pics up while these girls are in their most productive phase, over the next 3 weeks. i have no idea how much they will yield but i cant wait to find out.

my next run will be using clones with 36 in a tray, possibly 49, and they will go straight into flower at 6"

Thanx.

I bought a few (12) square 4 gall grow buckets to try my hand at Hempy style.
I got so many since they gave me 1/3 off when I told them they had no holes in them lol, even though thats what I wanted....

I have clones in the the 5 gallon aero that I'll be putting in.
I might have gone overboard with the size of the buckets though.....?
good strong cuts you got there, they look ready to burst, i assume you will be looking for quite big girls , how long will you veg them for ?
