you can use whatever size you like....all depends on your growing situation as to which will work best for you
I have grown hempy "buckets" in several sizes, but typically the bigger the bucket the bigger the yield
SOLO cups
2 liter pop bottles
one gallon bucket
3 gallon bucket

Holy Mary mother of god that 2 litter plant is crazy lol. What’s the good word on feeding and waterin gun I plan on doing 5 gal buckets with perlight also what do I do just water it until water pours out of the hole 2” from the bottoms... do I feed every watering like coco? Do I ever need to flush or worry about bacteria or alge growing in the bottomes ??? I’m worried because I plan on a 12week veg

* yes, a hole 2 inches from the bottom....let a good amount (15%) pour out the hole every feeding
* I never grown in coco....but you do feed with nutes every watering, small containers (solo cup and 2L pop bottle) often require a daily feeding, larger buckets like the 3 gallon need watering-feeding every second or third day. I've never used a 5 gal bucket but I would guess every third or fourth day for feedings.
* flushing is not required unless there is a specific issue to address.
* green algae will form, especially on the top layer but is not an issue or concern, just looks ugly ....avoid using transparent containers as they will produce more algae..... I use green 2L pop bottles rather than clear......or cover container with a layer of duct tape to shield the light
* 12 week veg seems rather long to me..... I typically go about 6 weeks in veg and 12 weeks in flower.
* the plants shown above all were grown with General Hydroponics Maxibloom plus Cal-Mag and pH+ .... (I'm currently using Technaflora).
* Most times I use 75% perlite and 25% vermiculite..... but I have used 100% perlite and had no issues
here is a link to a grow journal i called "KISS my Hempy" ....it may have some tips that you might find useful
KISS my Hempy
KISS = Keep It Stupid Simple Hempy = a simplistic method of hydroponics (drain to waste) My desire is to provide a thread on the basic concepts for those considering hempy ..... not meant as a beginner's guide but rather just a demonstration on how easy hempy can be. I welcome feedback and...

I’m at 7.5 weeks into 12/12 how much longer you thing I have this is a 8-9 week strain running into nite uptake problems 400ppm in 550out after a 25gal flush in a 5 gal lot of coco so it’s most likely root rot or finishing up and is no longer uptakeing nutes I’m guessing one thing that has me stumped is my ph run off is like 4.6 so I’m thinking GB roots are damaged and their getting fucked from that
