Ya 2gal per is prob close to right. Watered again last night and used up over 22 gallons in 13 buckets. Used over 60 grams of Jacks Citrus so even with a whole new 1.5lb tub left that will only last 10 more waterings with is less than a month. Thats not including the 8 others that will start to need more and more water as they get bigger. Not bad for $10 but I am going to need to buy more.
Some were way too dry so need to start doing it every 3 days or less. Currently It takes me way too long to water so going to build reservoirs with drain hoses that I can water from. Should cut down on time significantly once I figure it out.

I love how accurate you can be with this system. I put in 11 litres and 7.3 came out after 2 hours. In was 5.9 and 590. Out was 6.3 and 810. Using mokoko brand which comes with buffer and tea. Plants are loving it but i will try to lower the ph over the next few feedings. Next feeding will be 300ppm 5.6ph at 5 litres

Kinda dropped the ball on updates for the last grow. Everything went well except for the clones of the Purple Heroin (which looked and smelt sooooo, good) were from a hermie plant so guess what a clone of a hermie brings,,,,, yes you are correct, another hermie. The PH were in back and the seeding on the Bay-11 seems to be light and not mature. I had a green pheno of the bay 11 and a purple one. Here's a shot of the purp right after trim.
Gonna throw out the PH mother bush I saved (sure its a hermie also)
For the next grow I've got 6 un-sexed Granddaddy Purples in the veg box they will need at least 3wks before flower.

Nice looking branch there my friend. What was the total weight? GD purp is on my list. Got some G13 I want to give a shot at next though.
Stop by and see what I have going on now,

Just a guesstamate on the weights based on jar space usage, The 2 Bay-11 combined I got about 3oz of smokable nugs and 3oz of larff. The 2 PH are a solid 6+ oz the buds were much aireyer, then again it has some seed weight so it may be more.

Real quick guys, can I do coco coir using the hempy method with coco nutes or am I missing something here

Guess I'll run a batch of hempy.. can't I use fab pots, with the drip pan as my res. Pretty mutch the same thing, why or why not

i dont think it works like that. you need runoff with both types, but i suppose if you emptied your drip pan after watering, then added fresh res of 1-2" to drip pan, it would sort of be a SIP/hempy combo. you will probably do better to just feed more often in a fabiic pot and add res in your drip pan if you need to go away for a few days.

Years back I tried a fabric hempy (cut bottom 2" off a 5gal bucket and a 3gal fabric fit tight in it) It was a side by side run with 2 each fabric and hard sided with clones. The hard sided out preformed the fabric by a very noticeable margin. Don't know why for sure, but never ran the fabric again. That grow is in this thread many many pages back.

i run hempy buckets with 60% perlite, 20% coco, 20% promix. they work great, i usually water them every other day, and the coco and promix will retain enough moisture that i can go up to four days without watering with no problems if i have to for some reason

I started with 100% perlite 3 years ago and haven't changed. I wanna try soil but the perlite and R/O water has been very good to me.

Supersoil has been the only thing that's caught my interest. I may give it a try- but like you said. Pure perlite has treated me well.

Hello Fellow Green thumbs,
I have been doing soil grows for a long time. So far I have had mostly good luck, and just the few bumps all of us growers go through.
I live in the middle of nowhere, and decent soil is hard to find, not to mention the amendments needed, I was thinking about switching to Hempy style. I have been reading up on it and it really seems like a much easier way to go. I have several bags of hydroton (clay pellets) laying around for my aquaponics set up, would I be able to use that effectively instead of perlite. I can get perlite from Lowes, the next time I am in town, but I would rather save the money if I don't need to spend it.
Also,
I grow Autos mostly, since I only have the one tent right now. The packet of Beans I have right now is Heavyweights, Fast and Fast, What size pot would be recommended. I have 5 gal grow bags right now. I have several 2.5 gallon pots laying about would that be big enough?
I am toying with the idea of using a large rubbermaid tote like this.

I am thinking of filling about half way with the clay pellets or so, and drilling a quarter inch or so hole in there and running some pvc pipe to a collection vessel.
Any reason that wouldnt work? Also, Ill have to order some nutes, I am out of those either way. What would you recommend?
