This is only me second grow with the perlite. I like it because of how easy it is to clean for use again. And it is cheap. I will probably try coco sometime but am in no hurry to switch. I water everyday. That is the only thing i dont like about it. But i am going to make a drip system to auto water for those days that i want to get away for the night. I live alone and don't have anyone to water for me so i can't leave the house for more than a day.

Ive been looking at hempy bucket grows , they seem really interesting and have great results .. i might try them in the future but unfortunatly my growing is on hold atm . Your plants look great mate well done. Dont you find that with the light vertical the plants lean into the bulb ? do you use anything to stop the plants touching the bulb? id be interested to see you setup if possible :)
Yes the plants lean toward the light. This is the first time i have taken any of these plants out of the grow room. I almost had one fall over they are getting so top heavy. But back to your question. I use whatever i have on hand to stake the plants so they are standing straight up. I will post a few more pics in a day or two of my setup. It is nothing special at all.

Del you got me to try 12/12 from seed.

I had four clones veg and when I flipped the switch I had a seed ready to go so it's been in there...
Any idea when I should be worried about the sex of the plant so I don't get a male screwing up my mojo?

Or is this a totally horrible idea and should I kill the beast to ensure I don't have seeds everywhere?

If you watch the plant you will know if its male or female, just like any other grow... let it grow! Worst case, its a male and you chop it! Best case, you get some bud form it in 10-12 weeks.

Hempy buckets with str8 perlite is what i use 2...I'm on my first grow and use dinafem haze auto's as they where freebies...I have avg 1.5oz in less than 10 weeks but i still have 1 going that was a late bloomer and she has 8 tops as i had to top my plant when flowering first started, but i should get 3-4oz easily from her so in 6 plants im gonna get around 9-10 oz on my first grow with 600w quatum ballast set at 450w most of the time....I would recommend hempy buckets to anyone who wants to grow hydroponically and not worry about all of the res changes and worry about water temps...Its a fool proof system...IMO....Im thinking about using that new coco purified or something like that as theres no calmag probs with it as with other coco...Gonna put it on the top of my str8 perlite....Del whats a good booster as i need 1 bad...

Hi guys, Also doing 12/12 from seed hempy buckets in 100% perlite / 2l coke/cider bottles. 250w HPS / DR 60 tent. I have not had the best of luck so far, ok i'm getting results but not great. Main problem is i purchased a "indoor indica mix" pack of 10 and the genetics are all over the place. Best so far was the 2 free "Big Bud" seeds which both turned out fem, i have one blue cheese re-generated back in the tent and a big bud regenerating on the windowsill. I also stuck a few Haze seeds in and have 2 fem that are trying to take over the tent. 10 weeks old and only JUST started flowering. bend bend bend, lol (still stretching) I've just got a EC and PH meter and my EC of tap is 0.6ec and 7.0ph anyone think that i should go over the recommended ec of 2.0 with Ionic nutes considering my background ec is so high (ie i'd only get max 1.4ec of nutes to bring it to 2.0) any help appreciated. i'd also like to know if 2l bottles is big enough for 12/12 hempy? any advise welcomed. BTW temps are constant 65 - 75*f give or take. Regards..

2-3 weeks the males will probably show then the females show a week or so later in my experience....i love seeds.thats how i got my bubblebomb..

Had to medicate real quick, before i snapped a few pics, lol the LED's make me see green. Gotta love the Coco/perlite. Some are a bit droopy after the transplant (few hours ago) and some look spotted from the foliar feed, theres actually no spots, the LED just makes it look that way, dunno why. Getting 400w hps in a few days :D

Hey guys, Here is one of my 12/12 girls. I needed to supercrop both of my K-Trains twice because they were soooo stretchy. My lemon skunk and cc x livers are so stocky and im trying to keep as even a canopy as i can. Some people think she is super ugly but i think she is really wicked looking with her claw like leaves. :-P
