Tristan, as I said on your other thread, I use this method to great success.
But don't worry, I'll not get the "big head". Gardening in general has a way of keeping you humble.

As someone else :stoned: on your other thread said, you can grow even your clones this way. I haven't so far, but I'm going to try it myself next cloning session. I'm still an old dirt girl in general.

I'll try to give you a quick summary of what you should do, but you would be best served by researching wick hydroponics in general and "hempy buckets" in particular.

Your mix: perlite/vermiculite in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio. I just eyeball it but you can use a container to measure 3 or 4 scoops of perlite to 1 scoop of vermiculite. That's it, I add nothing else.

Your container: Growing inside, I want the smallest, lightest container I can reasonably use to get a decent yield. I also look for the shape that will fit the best in the area allotted to the plant. Right now I'm growing in 1.5 gal. plastic trash cans that I get from the $1 store. I line each with a grow bag (which I sterilize and reuse) to cut any light that may come thru the white plastic. You can use duct tape or whatever you have to block light, as needed. If you don't care about container size or weight, then you can go with a larger container. I don't have any experience with that yet. My research suggests larger is not always better..... when talking about containers. :jointsmile:

Container prep: Your container should NOT have drain holes in the bottom. You drill or melt 1 hole, about 2 inches from the bottom. This creates a 2 inch deep reservoir in the bottom and becomes your drain hole.
