why do you use this
why not 100% perlite75% Perlite to 25% Vermiculite
or 100% vermiculite
The mothers were fed every other day for the most part.
For clones, I place them in a hempy bucket when they are fully rooted.
That first week they don't drink much at all. The roots are getting established. I fill the rez up about half way, and let the roots find the food at bottom.
After that a feeding will last 3-4 days for the smaller vegging plants. Till they start getting bigger.
Environment also plays a role in how fast the plants drink.

i hear the vermiculite retains too much moisture, ideal for root rot.... which is why you dont use high ratios of it.
the perlite allows air in, and the vermiculite retains moisture. also vermiculite is kinda rough on roots i would think, if you were running 100% its sharp
edit-
wasnt trying to answer for him...lol. just my own .o2
subbed as well. ive been thinking about trying a hempy sog, id like to see what he can do

Ive tried it with 100% perlite and had better results with this ratio of 75/25
The 100% perlite dried out faster, the top few inches would be very loose and no roots growing there. But the 75/25 mix retains a bit more water in rootzone above the water level, and this makes for a larger area for the roots to grow in.

runs it at 100% perlite .....i think
i been researchin hempy foer some weeks now
it seems idea for me
i think of it like hydro simulated soil type of growing
i love the fact that it is reuseable, and you get too hand water it so you get that intimate relationship with your plants that soil growers have

well on of the good things about hempy is you can use any type of nutes

scribed mate and looking good, i have a question though i'm getting ready to trial hempy against soil i'm only on my first grow at the mo and the mothers for hempy are vegging away as my others finish up i was wondering why not use a large tote style container for your sog adding extra space for the roots as opposed to lots of little containers?
