The hempy bucket is quite simple and it is that simplicity that makes them so great. Basically you take any bucket (i used 32 oz gatorades with the top cut off but you can essentially use any size) and cut/drill a hole about 1-1.5" from the bottom. When I first made buckets I used a 1 gallon paint bucket and ended up glueing a small piece of screen over the hole. With my gato-buckets I have been just cutting little holes in the bucket and saying screw the screens. Once your bucket is prepared you fill it with the medium which for me is perlite/vermiculite (4:1). You can use anything as a medium though (just not soil). The point of the buckets is that there is a small reservoir in each one (below the hole) and therefore that fills with your nute mix everytime. Once the roots hit that res they go nuts. So when I FEED (always nute mix, never just water) every 2-3 days, I fill until there is run off from the hole. Oh and I used the FF line up ... just follow the exact feeding schedule.

That is pretty much it. I will try to post some pics tonight if I have some time. If none of that makes sense, let me know, but I hope that helped a bit.

I highly suggest using hempys, it is easy as hell. I know killa12345 has used 11 liter buckets and grown some bad ass black haze so you can def grow some monsters.

Take care,

i definetly think you got it secret......one thing though....i have been seeing IRB(hempy's when not following directions to his specifications) using soil mixtures......also....PH is very important.....some strains wont show problems but some picker strains will hate the ph flucts.....im still learning on this process myself.....recently i been seeing that 1 gal is the ideal size.....plus ive been seeing different methods which i will post on very soon!
