I don't see any vermiculite in that 'hempy' mix of yours man. Traditional 'Hempy' mix is 3:1 perlite to vermiculite. You need the vermi in there to hold the water otherwise it's gonna dry out too fast. Another tip would be to wait until your plant has a bigger root system before you stick in the 'hempy' bucket. And finally, you HAVE to use hydroponic nutrients in Hempy buckets. H bucket growing is passive hydroponics, and organics seem to just cause problems.
Hempy, the guy who claims to have invented the process, is a member at Mr Nice Forums, maybe he could help you out a little more. Word of warning, he's a bit of a character....and that's putting it nicely.
Good luck.

edit: I only read the first post. I see you transplanted into soil. Don't give up on hempy, use what I gave you for next time. I tried a hempy bucket just to see how it worked, and I was amazed at how easy it really was and how fast the plants grew. It's a solid system.

I'm going to set out on a mission today to find so vermiculite. I raised the light up and gave them a good watering before work. I will get back later today and transplant them if I find the vermiculite..Wish me luck...

It shouldn't be too hard. Even if you end up having to have it shipped, it's very light. It shouldn't be too much. Plus, pound for pound, it's way cheaper than soil.
Can't ask for a cheaper mix that perlite and vermiculite.
Good luck bro!
