Hi,
I read a thread on Hempy Buckets and I really like the simplicity of the system. however, I can't seem to keep the leaves from drooping. I use a 4:1 ratio of perlite/vermiculite. I have the plants under 2 1000w HPS lights. I just flipped them to 12/12 last week. I was told that the leaves are drooping due to overwatering but then I've read it's not possible to overwater in a true hempy bucket. So I'm thinking maybe I am using buckets that are too big and the hole is drilled too high. I'm using 5 gallon buckets and the hole is drilled right at 2 inches from the bottom of the buckets. I'm only feeding about once every 5 days and the leaves still sag. I check the weight of the buckets before I feed and they feel empty. Any idea what it might be?
