CDF20 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Just wondering if HEMPY BUCKET can work with organic soil and organic liquid nutes. Clay pebbles or perlite on bottom and just a little bit above the drainage hole to prevent soil being too dump, rest of the pot is soil and organic liquid nutes for watering.

Budelaire Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I’ve seen a post on youtube where a gardener totally submerged an organic soil plant In water. This would normally kill a plant pretty quickly. He set up an airline in the bowl of water the plant pot sat in and it thrived from what the video showed. so in short no But it may work if you oxygenate the root zone/hempy reservoir. One of the things I was going to try, so may do that with a snip with the sole purpose of seeing how it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budelaire Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Personally if you want to grow organic just use pots of compost. I will do an organic hempie will just use a snip and keep it as a mum for now. If it dies it dies etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybloomer Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Been totally Hempy for 2 years now, I use the 15liter B&Q black buckets, clay to the drain hole, 100% perlite above. I cut some pot covers out of an old exercise mat a hole in the middle and a slit from edge to centre for ease of removal, keeps the green gunge away nicely. I use a cheap 2 part hydro nutes from the bay...yields went thru the roof for me when I changed from soil, and I was quite happy with those yields anyway. So easy to run, clean and almost 100% recycleable medium so after start up it is very cheap to run, you can get a lot of info if you search for it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of months later What soil you use, mate? Or its Coco ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgrower Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 The hempy bucket was with ecothrive lite coco - tbh not sure if the lite version is much different from just normal coco. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I’ve spoken with Hempy, seemed a nice chap tbf. Only Had a brief chat. Mainly me thanking him for highlighting the tech. He basically said he’s faced ridicule since suggesting this set up way back when, and he was happy to know they are being used still. Everyone who’s tried them as sung praise from my perspective. might do some Perlite ones as I’ve only ever done coco hempys bar the maiden voyage with a fytocell & pebble sandwich & Lucas Formula. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
