my thoughts on hydro
passive hydros cool , dont call it a hempy bucket though as the cunt wasnt in Babylonia 6000 years ago and he doesnt deserve credit , simply put its a bucket with a hole in it 2 inch from the bottom and full of a medium that cant hold plant food , in this case perlite , you can use turface and hydroton mind but still , the bottom 2 inch of the bucket becomes a rez , piece of piss to do , you pour ready made up food until it pisses out the hole , top it once it runs out/goes light , thats it really , grows the same as hydro , hard to fuck it up , dont bother setting p/h or any of that nonsense , pour in and ignore , great results , dont be surprised when you knock the buckets over
dwc well ive made a fair few bubbler buckets and tubs but my fave is aquafarms , you stick 4 of these under a 600 watt and enjoy the spoils , once again hard to fuck it up , the plants in hydroton in its own basket while bellow this is a rez with 20 litre of food , the plant pops out roots into this solution , there a dripper ring then enables the plant to be fed from the top and trickle down , this is run by an airline , theres a tube in the side so you can see how much fluid you have in plus enable it to be drained out , myself i would run 16 in a square under 4x600 and had the lot linked , i would basically run the lot out then pour 80 litres into one of the 4 linked together tubs and gravity would sort it out making rez changes a piece of piss , from time to time it would go wrong be it the dripper ring blocking or massive p/h or ppm swings thanks to the bloody action of an airpump on water but most of the time it was ok , rez temps ment at time really slow grow be it too hot ( big issue ) or too cold ( not so bad ) , 135 oz a grow was normal based on 4 plants per tub and not alot of veg time , a bucket is easier though if you buy 2 buckets at the same time , you lift the plant off so cant go wrong , its this or a wet and dry vac with a stocking on the end to suck it out ( stops the roots breaking off ya see )
ebb and flow i found to be toss , a tables easy enough to set up as is a rez although emptying it is a bit of a twat when its under the plants and you have to cover it if not ummmmm , pull off a pipe is the recommended way but given you jubilee clip those fuckers on if you have any sense you cant , you find this out when the waters now running through your light fittings after its just spat 120 litres into your loft , what fuckin joy , so anyways easy enough although staking is a massive problem , you cant stake them so rely on yoyos , these can start to lift the plants off the table , also roots growing into the drain holes can also be a laugh a minute , not a fan
recirculating well i did this with the aquafarms , i would get the roots into the base then simply pump the liquid around the 4 tubs from a rez , easy enough to do and alot quieter than an airpump banging away on dripper rings
i also invented a set up that was along the same line , i got a airpump manifold and attached it to a cold water storage tank which was on the wall about 2 foot up , a rez next to it had a small pump moving water from its tap ( water butts are cool ) into the water tank above where water would piss through the manifold and water the plants from open airlines , this worked great and was uber quiet , shame really algee also loved it too much
autopots were ok , small rez mind when we went big with the plants , from experience a large plant can suck up 8 litre a day so not great for this , easy enough but no real benefit over bubblers be honest
me i like soil , you can move your shit around if you want to , when it goes wrong its gradual and not the same day , theres nothing to fall off and nothing elec powered to get wet or blow up , theres no noise and its just easy to do , i wont mention taste as every fucker i know mixs with baccy so although i love using organics its probably wasted , quality ive seen some awful hydro grown weed and grown some world class , ive seen the same in soil so unless your an utter snob on your weed then its almost pointless to find a difference , phenos , strains and environmental , cutting time and caring are what really matter IMO
