Hempy bucket

Post by JJ »

After some research making hempy buckets was pretty easy.the bucket ,3-5gal. or so,should be a dark material or covered somehow to prevent light intrusion. Drilled a 1/4" hole,2" from bottom,covered hole on inside with weed block fabric.i use 100%perlite as the grow medium,drains well. Insert your plant and let it go,water/feed close to stem at first until roots reach bottom res. of 2"space. I water/feed several times a day for around 2wks. When established water until bucket purges thru hole,you can go 2 days between but I over-do it . I use fertilizer at 1/2 rate at start then increase when needed. These seem easy to care for,cant over water;perlite always draining,,can flush easy, its like a passive hydroponic system. I'm on my second grow with these so defo. not a pro. but when roots fill bottom they take off.
