I'm about to take the Hydroton pellets out of an idle Waterfarm and use them for Hempy buckets for some Skunk x Haze seedlings I'm germing outdoors.
What sold me on Hempys was the simplicity. There's one point of failure -- me. I can forget to water for a week or overwater regularly for a couple of weeks, but I don't have to worry about machinery dying on me. Not to mention that Hempy is much more space-effective than a Waterfarm: I can grow 4-5 plants in 5" x 6" x 7" containers with plenty of room in the area taken up by one Waterfarm.
give it a day or 2 and you should start to see improvement, I took 2 of mine out of a dwc system and thru them in hempy bucketrs, and I havent looked back....
Well what is the rule of thumb about repotting those plants? Apparently if they real little or seeds or whutever they have to put in little cups..then moved to increasing larger vessels till you reach the 2 or 3 gallon bucket. Did I interpret that right? Thanks.
