So I am thinking about switching to all hempy buckets doing a longer veg time and getting some fat colas. Maybe top once. What do you guys think?
The only issue I am having right now is that the roots aren't as healthy as they were and having to double stack the buckets takes up a ton of space. Probably do 5 gallon buckets since I will need them to last through a 5 day stretch here and there.
BTW I switched the mother plants to hempy buckets and they have just hit the res. Man what a difference it makes.
Oh I should mention that I will finish out this current grow with aero.

I've never grown hempy but have seen excellent results.. I'm running my urdwc with 8" net pots and grow stones... Question, how long can you be away from hempy buckets? Is there an auto watering system that you'd be able to rig for extended time away?

I don't think I'll be able to let them go longer than 5 - 7 days. Especially once I hit full flower. As for the watering I will probably rig up a hose of some sort and mix all nutrients etc. in my bathtub and use one of my pumps to water the buckets. They actually take quite a bit of water ~2.5 gallons per watering. I don't have a ton of experience with them and the plants that are currently in hempy buckets were on their way to death but they have turned around nicely and I expect to be watering once a week.
The one thing that I will miss about my aero setup is the automated watering. I don't have to do shit except check ph every couple of days. I may drop my plant count down to 4 just to help keep things more manageable.

Lower plant count and grow some big bitches... My system stands at 15" tall and my tent 7'...I'm loving my set up.. I drain every 2 weeks and top off once in between.. at the moment.. I don't know how much they're going to drink in flower

My thoughts exactly! Gonna grow some trees next round. May skip the Screen and just let them go.

I'm debating that same thing... There's nothing like a nice even filled out screen, buds standing like soldiers,POW ... But then football sized colas are magnificent...

Well it turns out that 1 big bag of perlite and 1 and half bags of vermiculite is only enough for 5 full hempy buckets (rate = 3:1). So minus the two mother buckets that I already made, I only got to 3 new hempys. Will be getting more tonight and will be finishing up the room over haul.

It was a big bag not the kind you find at homedepot. I think it was 4 cu. ft. I'd have to check but the bag said chunky perlite and it was a big bag. Oh BTW, I barley used any perlite from the second bag.
Finished up the buckets last night, did the water change in the flower room, which is now on week 2. Will transplant the clones later tonight.

Smoke Report (Quick snip) on the Jolumbo 77.
Very Spicy flavor and smell especially present in the hash. Once the bud is broken it smells almost sweet and floral. It is a special smell and flavor not at all skunky or dank. Like a spicy sativa. My GF described it as almost nutmeg/ pepper.
As for the high very uplifting and straight to the dome.

Yeah just been lazy. Cleaning and all takes a lot outta you, lol. Will have the flower room next week once I get back into my normal routine.

Stretch is coming to a close and I just realized that I haven't posted a single picture of the flower room, lol. I must be super stoked on the hempys.
*Edit just checked back a page. They are there right at the start. So those will be our comparison phots*
Anyway will have pics tonight or tomorrow. If I can get the pics to load from my phone will be tonight.
