Grow Mediums Hempy with osmocote plus?

[Croakersoaker]

I have run across a few threads on other forums where people are using osmocote for nutrients in hempy buckets. Is anybody aware of an actual tutorial anywhere that tells you how much to uses and where to put it. I have searched and I find references to it but can't seem to find specifics. Do you still need a reservoir on the bottom? Any help is appreciated

I just joined this morning and your post came up when I searched the word "Osmocote". Sorry for the ten month span and this isn't pure hempy as this guy uses a soil cap but he covers the osmocote/hempy question pretty well. I hope this helps. http://www.rollitup.org/t/a-real-k-i-s-s-growing-method-soilponics.850551/

I will be running this system soon!
It is exactly the same as a regular Hempy style bucket:
Hole 2" from bottom
Perlite to just above hole and fill rest with 3:1 Perlite/Vermiculite mix. A lot use pure Perlite and some use a Perlite/Coco mix, use whatever you are comfortable with.
You then layer in Osmocote plus with your premade fill. Layer of fill, sprinkle some granules, layer of fill, sprinkle etc... till the top.
Water with R.O water pH'd to 5.8 to 6 and hat is about it.
Add Cal/Mag to the water as directed by the plants.
