anyone grow autos in hempy buckets? my understanding is that autos don't like a ton of water all the time - would that make growing them in hempys less than ideal? anyone grow autos in em?

Your understanding is false. 
I grow autos in coco. Flooded multiple times daily.
Also coco hempy style with a perlite res and air stone.
They grow fast and large.

Nice
I grow in my garage that isn't heated and live in a northern climate so even my indoor growing season is short lol why I am tending towards trying autos, but this would be my first with em
I know I want to do hempy this time around, so I'd be stoked to have autos work well in em
I thought Id add the air stone to the bucket as well - was gonna do a perlite/vermiculate mix (like 25% verm 75% perl), figured adding the additional air can't be a bad thing
I keep reading about people who water their hempys multiple times each day, can't quite figure it out unless the roots aren't reaching the rez yet. What size pot are you growing in?

In the bucket. Coco over 4" of chunky perlite, air stone under an inverted netcup. Don't know if it makes much of a difference overall but it feels good. I just started 2 more, maybe I'll only hook one up this run. Got the idea because I wanted to try autopots but couldn't justify the price at the time.

I want autopots as well - the price for the 4x doesn't seem unreasonable, but I don't have the cash for it this run either. I was gonna pick up some of those Airdomes that autopot sells for like $10 each

I gave up on autopots. The way I perpetually grow autos, it's not feasible. Too many plants at different stages.
As for the added air, I'm still not sold that it makes a difference. Some of the autopot users swear by them though. Running inverted netpots saved a lot of bucks when I was looking at 6 airdomes. lol

yea that is a good point - if you already have the air stones then away cheaper lol
I can see how autpots would be kinda ridiculous for a perpetual grow, you'd just need too many to make it work the way it should
