Bluter's Happy Home For Hilarious Hempsters

Hey has anyone run hempy buckets larger than 5 gallons? Thinking about going 10 or 15 gallon this round.

a number of folk have. indoor bucket size maxes at about 5 gallon. any bigger and the the plant will be too large to run indoor. 7 plus foot high plants.

outdoor hempy bucket sizes start at the 5 gallon size. from there the only limit is what size you place on them.

First girl dropped in a 12 gallon hempy tote. Will flip in 2 weeks. Here's a pic of the 5 gallon bucky roots i took it out of.

is that soil in the bottom ?

That is some los i mixed up for outdoors. 60 gallon tote. Was trying to minimize the mess with up potting hempy 5 gallon buckys to the 12 gall. Used everything. Tarps bathtubs all of it. But still crunchy barefoot in certain areas of the adobe.

are you running the big hempys outdoor ?

should check out what @FelipeBlu can do in an outdoor hempy. he gets as many zips from one plant as i do in two long grows a year.

Naw indoor. Why you ask? Trying to be legal and go bigger with a couple of plants. Instead of 10 plus clones.

you're gonna get tree trunks on them lol

you might not get to capitalize on the total bucket volume indoors.
what size is the tent ?

 

[bluter]

Naw indoor. Why you ask?

felipe does massive plants in that size or less outdoor. he got so much he's taking a year off.

Never seen anyone go bigger than 5 gal buckys here indoors figured i would give it a whirl. With the legalization trying to be legalish. 4 by 4.

Want a bigger flower tent .

 

[Kismet]

Be happy with whatever i get . Ran out of weed somewhat a few months ago other than cobs and hash .

Was kind of scared to run any when i got hurt and it was still illegal.

four 5L (1 gal ) will fill a 4 x 4. i ran five 5L buckets and wound up way overgrown for a 4 x 4.

it all depends on veg time and when you flip. you'll never use the capacity of those buckets indoor. you'll be using more feed / water than you'd require and be tossing enough unused perlite at the end for another full grow.

you're increasing your input costs with no hope of a return for the amount of area you have for a canopy.

You could probably use an entire bedroom for those 3 totes!

You could probably use an entire bedroom for those 3 totes!

Or a sliver of your yard.

Si - something around 100-120 sf or so should work..

I have always run 2 to 5 gallon buckets in the 4 by 4 and never had a case of any unused perlite left over. The reason i went bigger is a couple of reasons. One is my roomie will only have to feed them once while i am on vacation and the other is i suspect that they will indeed fill the 12 gallon totes by the time the grow is over. Going to find out here in a couple of months. Not really using more water and nutes at the moment but that may change in the ensuing weeks.
