Hempy Buckets and SOG
permalink
Is anyone doing hempys on a SOG method? I am trying to figure out if I can go with a smaller bucket then the standard 2-3 gallon variety??

I plan to send rooted clones immediately to flower for 8 weeks.

Thanks Jim

jim2248--If doing a sog grow, I'd imagine 1 gallon would be overkill even. Just remember the smaller the bucket you use, the more often it needs to be watered.

Happy Growing

I've used the 32 oz cups before. I'm finishing up a run now with 1 gallon hex containers, I think they are the most efficient size I've tried so far, but I used the 32 oz for a seed run, I wasn't going for size. If you have time, my journal link is in my sig, check it out.

I used 2" on the one gallon, but 1 3/4" on the 32 oz. Just scaled it a little, probably not critical, worked well for me. As Alley said, the only drawback on the little ones is frequent watering.
