Well good people, I can tell you from first hand experience now that hempy buckets in general and this method in particular is a very good way to grow. I've effed up in 3 or 4 different ways and this Nirvana Blue Mystic Auto just keeps marching upwards.
Tonight marks the second time it's grown up into the light array. I have four 19 watt 5000K CFLs in a Walmart gooseneck adjustable floor lamp. The plant is in a Lowes 2 1/2 gallon bucket with Hydroton in the rez (it holds a quart) and alternating layers of perlite/vermiculite and Black Gold soil. The nutrients are Osmocote Plus in the middle 2/3rds and Osmocote Flower & Vegetable in the outer 1/3 of the bucket. The bottom most soil layer has a ring of worm castings. It's happy and healthy looking, especially considering I dropped the peat pellet the sprout was growing in, it grew into the lights twice and l nearly drown it too.
