    Hempy Buckets...friend or foe?

    You can knock alot of the perlite off the roots when you transplant and I've never seen any ill effects towards my plants, never seen the use of using vermiculite with the perlite just one more thing to have to buy in my book. Hempy buckets are about as easy as they come for maint free hydro...

    Hempy Buckets...friend or foe?

    I've kept my mothers in hempy buckets for about ten years, flower in dwc. The rockwool is a problem when transplanting into a big container with no roots in the bottom. You should go from rooted rockwool into a dixie cup hempy style for 1-2 weeks then into the 2 gallon bucket. You'll get better...

Its about 50 bucks more than that second one but puts out like 80000 lumens with 25% less energy consumption based on the...

    250w of metal halide or 250w of CFL?? veg lighting

    I'm new to the site but will definetly back up the t5. Less heat, less space, less power consumption(if your vegging 24 hrs day) if not everytime that ballasts turns on it will use more than the t5 starting. You could stack 2 or 3 levels with t5s in the same space and still only use about the...
