Just to throw this out there, I have grown outside, flouros, cfl's, MH & HPS, closet, home made cab, pre fab cab, soil, hydro, and now perlite. I've had many positive experiences and definetely many different results. I have grown successfully indoors under all those lights to completion and nothing compares to the MH/HID results, but I've definately have been successful under all. So there is NO HATE from me in regards to how you grow. We all have to figure out what works for us given the situation we live in. I am by no means an expert or a guru or anything else like that. I read and learn from all of you. I dont care if your 18 or 80 because you may have encountered something to help me in my grows. This hempy bucket idea came from another forum I normally went too before it blew a gasket and has been gone for about 2 months. There were alot of questions and negative comments as well as a ton of positive comments with results posted with pic proof. So I said "what the hell" and gave it a shot. I hope this grow journal not only helps to prove another method, but also helps with any questions, doubts or concerns. Hempy is nothing state of the art new and has been around for quite a few years, but I have not heard much since joining RIU. Please feel free to chime in if you have any questions or comments.
