hempy bucket size question

as I've been told....when it's watered after being super dry, it will draw in more oxygen ...and a fast pour works better for drawing in the oxygen

also I think there's that slight stress that makes it become glutinous after being starved

from a 2 litre pop bottle perspective (below pic) they drank most of the water in the reserve on the first day and then the next day they consumed every available drop.

I'll never get over that pic:) It's motivating for sure.. What would you guess the dry weights was?

Also, I forget, do we feed every time with hempy or do we feed - water, or feed-water-water?

many thanks my friend.....it just so happens that I just germinated 3 auto-fem seeds and will be starting a new thread soon...hope to see you there

I'll be using the basic Lucas formula but not sure yet if I'll use pop bottles or buckets....also will be using a new setup....so could be full of surprizes
Looking forward to it and will def follow. Thnx.

I feed every time with hempy

those 4 plants yielded about 8 ounces total...give or take
Do you follow a regular feeding schedule? Meaning do I need to dilute the nutes more than normal if I am feeding with every watering? Normally I start out at 1/4 strength nutes with feed-water-water or as needed. Then I work my way up to full nutes feed-water-water.

I start to give 1/4 nutes by week 2, but quickly bring up to full strength for every watering.

those buckets look nice but the hole is lower than typical hempy buckets, thus your reservoir is smaller than most, which may require feeding more often
