Is a wicking system good enough for cannabis?

Allright, I'm a very lazy first grower and I don't want too much equipment and wick seems like best passive grow. Currently I got from a friend: 400w HPS and 1 weaker grow bulb for seedling/early veg. I will turn on the HPS when the plant is a bit bigger in veg. I know I can get better light spectrum for veg but this will have to do for my small grow(1 feminized white widow 50/50 indica/sativa). I may try getting some extra CFLs as i grow.

I already got nutrients from someone FloraNova grow and bloom. And some organic Natures Nectar for extra nitrogen.

Is a wicking system good enough for the full cycle from veg to flower:
the media is aquarium rocks only
there are 4 wicks going from bottom bucket to top of pot
each wick is a piece t-shirt cut about 2" wide

the pot is 6" its pretty small, but i don't want it to gain height so i'm keeping it small.

I'm scared it won't get enough water later when the plant is bigger with lots of roots.


If i get 1 oz im happy.

Tips Please :peace:

Do yourself and your wallet a real favor and go here. Tell Moebius Hot Rod sent you. Get more yield and cheaper too.

Thanks, yeah I've been reading on that.

Only i don't have any growing media. I'm using aquarium rocks atm and they won't wick on their own(i think?)
