Hempy Questions in my Mind...

[al1b]

after my not-happy growing in soil (slow growth, damn slow), i found out Humpy Bucket, will be better method for me...

at first couldnt find rockwool-cubes... so i want try coco-peat, although dunno how to make a cube out of the whole package....

heres my questions:
1) what is the difference in usage of Peat-moss(instead of Vermiculite) in Hempy bucket style?
2) is the ratio of mixing with Perlite, the same ? (3:1) ?
im wondering if its gonna work like 3Perlite and 1Peat-moss or its different?

3) what is mostly questionable to me, is the way of transplanting Clones from cloner into buckets ?


thx already guys, this forums been a real help to me. (Specially while the people around me dont have any clue what im doing )

Read World of Hempy from the start most any answer you need is there.


If its coco coir you can use that mixed with perlite and just treat it pretty much like a dirt grow. Ive done 100% perlite with great results. Soil with a perlite reservoir works damn well too if youre more used to dirt. Just make sure bottom two inches is all perlite and a good mixture of perlite in the soil.


As far as from cloner to the bucket...plant with roots hanging as far down as possible and fill bucket while holding plant with roots dangling for best results...you can tuck the coil on top of your medium if wanted but the faster roots hit that 2 inch reservoirthe faster they grow.

Water directly next to the stalk daily until you see rapid growth which will tell you roots are in the reservoir...then water pretty much as often as you want just dont let em wilt.

I use General Hydroponics Flora micro and bloom using pretty close to Lucas formula. I do have some flora grow that i use if i think they need a N boost. I also use a silica product in veg and PK 13/14 on week 5 of bloom.
