No I don't think hempy is the same it's basically top fed dwc with the same bucket in a bucket the same 2" or so of water in the bottom bucket but the difference is the addition of a massive industrial air pump and special permiable pvc "airstone" all around the bottom of the bucket throwing so much air into the water at the bottom of each bucket that it froths voilently. Plus a chiller to keep the water temp perfect. That's how you get colas the size of this krusty pic I posted a few posts up:yeah those are massive Lol like a fucking cage of sativa monsters...
your prolly referring to hempy buckets, check out my buddy Someguy's thread, he kinda explained it a lil bit in his thread:

Other than that, any DWC question can be answered by roseman
thanks for stopping by bro, stick around and lemme know what you figure out...
The reason it's not done more often is it's way more compicated maintenance wise a full time job and then some with frequent chemical swap outs and cleaning and constant fiddling to keep the plants healthy as they tear through different chemicals and on and on and on. The most difficult way to grow bar none and very expensive chemicals wise.
Plus the industrial regenerating air pump to do it is over $1000 way over, I'm sure you know what chillers cost, then the permiable pvc is a special order thing. Are you familiar with any of this already?
Here is a current growers journal, first run if you want to know more and see how it goes for him as a newbie to it:

This system has been around for years with modifications along the way.
