Hempy bucket- what am I doing wrong?

OregonMeds said:

I'm not familiar with hempy buckets specifically so not sure if you are doing it right or not but no plants like 80 degree water, ever.

It causes the root rot and slow growth problems you have. It may be you are missing part of the hempy system too or are using the wrong watering / feeding / flushing routine as well so hopefully someone who successfully used that type of setup will chime in.

What he said^^^^^

could be a cal/mag deficiency if ya been using ro or distilled waters

Hi Buckshot;

I am using FloraMicro for soft water, so I think it has been fortified with some extra mag and calc to offset the RO H2O. Here's a picture of the labels:

crappy container for growing in all the way around. not enuf lumens, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? transplant that girl into a 2 gal hempy bucket. get a frosting bucket from costco or donut shop for free. cut yer hole 1 1/2" up. build a quad cfl. buy 1 more of those bulbs and 2 more in other spectrum. buy 3 "Y" adapters and now you are running 4 cfls. get one of those shop lights with steel reflector. it will have a heavier cord. now you have a setup that will pull enuf grams to make worth while for cheap.

now save money for HiD's and real grow sho.

your bucket should be light proof, you should only get green algae on the surface, try wrapping it in something lightproof. Also make sure you flush every 3rd or 4th watering, ive copied Bonemans hempy thread using exactly the same nutes and never had any real problems. Ive never checked ph and use regular tap water. Also never needed to go over 600ppm with the nutes.
