Mephisto Genetics SODK in a Bigger Hempy pot

After seeing you do the small hempys I dropped my bucket from a 3gallon bucket to a 1.5 gallon bucket I went with that size because they where free lol. Going to see how it works out for me all journal it on here of coarse.
 
Looking Great Roasty You'll be chopping those girls in no time ! I got about two weeks left on mine aswell :d5:

Thanks bro!

Hells ya, don't get any cheaper than free. I think thatis a perfect size. I heard somewhere that round 2.5 gallon is the point of diminishing returns with coco. Tag me up when you do a thread with them. :pass:
 
I'm helping a buddy set up a medical grow once he gets the permit in a couple months. I have never tried hempy buckets before but am leaning towards this simple method. I was thinking of 5G pails, I know it's overkill and probably a waste of cocco .Hoping that with a larger pail watering can be further apart, every few days compared to daily.
Is there disadvantages to a large pail that I might be missing?

Peace GG

Ya i would say overkill, but it may help on the watering frequency. Also if you make the res a little deeper, that may help too. If running a bigger strain, they will need lots of room.
 
So much for ph perfect, just tested ph in my res, and it was at around 8.0 . No wonder they aren't happy. Back to ph'ing daily, hope they str8n out. SODK wasn't effected much, but my Grape Crinkle rusted up pretty good.

Just some friendly advice...Water source pH can change, especially at the change of seasons. I know they say pH perfect, but I have seen my same mix be different numbers. I started growing in hydro, so I am a pH checker. Many growers can get comfortable and stop checking. Unfortunately it is totally unavoidable and is the growers responsibility to be religious about checking pH. It doesn't take long to check and adjust, but the damage done by not checking can be extreme to minimal. That being said, make sure your meters are reading right as well or get a back up liquid set. The few times I have had issues with pH, the meter went bad. Hope they are not effected to badly.

Ya i was religiously checking and it it was usually really close to 6.0, so i kinda stopped looking for a while. Lesson learned. I don't use meters, just been using the GH dropper. Bought a large bottle of the stuff, and its lasted a year and a half so far. Things are starting to look better since adjusting. Update tomorrow hopefully.
 
Day 70, the pistils are just starting to color so they still have a while. Getting pretty fat buds already tho.
