I'm sure this method has been around longer than I know, but I'm just recently discovering it and its fasinating to me. I'm currently growing out some mothers which should be large enough to clone in 2-3 weeks. I planned on doing a coco grow but the hempy seems ideal.
I do have some questions though.
1.) Are bucket/container sizes similar to soil/coco plants? For example if I vegged for 2 weeks in coco/soil I'd use a 2 gallon pot. Would the same veg time to pot size apply to hempy bucket grown plants?
2.) as its my understanding, you only need to water the plant when the bottom water level is depleted enough that the plant begins to show signs of dehydration. I guess similar to soil. ? Or would you want to water more often to replenish the bottom water with new nutes, and drench the roots that aren't submerged. I only ask because I read a detailed explanation of hempy systems and the guy said he would water about once a week once the roots reached the bottom water res.
3.) and lastly, the thread I read also stated that adjusting ph was not necessary. Which seems bizarre. I know a lot of nutrient companies hav ph buffered nutrients but if you add some other additive it could throw off the ph substantially causing all types of deficiencies.
