Wait..what?
I know I know lol I dont PH water anymore, mostly because I use bottled water. I'm sure the ph is stable enough. Obviously not recommended for everyone.

I was referring to the ProMix in a hempy bucket...
Please tell us more about that!
Lmao.. ok. Well, not much to tell really.
I take a bag of HP PROMIX and

Lmao. Ok. Well not much to tell but.
I use this method below;
Soil:
1bag HP Pro mix with Mycorrhizae 70%
1 bag of regular soil 30%
Mix soils 70/30%
Nutrients; ( per 4 liters/1gal )
Gaia green 444 all purpose (2 tbsp)
Gaia green 284 Flowering (2 tbsp)
Gaia Green Worm Castings (2 tbsp)
Mixed all together and placed inside a pale, bucket, container ect. Drill 1 hole roughly 1 inch from the bottom in the container. That's it. Water it like crazy lol
I even do this with the party cups when the plant is first starting out.
Now the reason behind why I do this.
#1) When your watering the plants, water will suck air down deep into the root = Good.
#2) You get consistent Wet/Dry cycle = Good.
#3) The medium "Soil" wont stay super wet and drown out your roots = Good.
Been doing this for a while and never have a problem with it.
What is “regular soil”?
Have you tried mixing ProMix with perlite?
Okay, so a smaller reservoir than standard hempy (hole ~2” up)
This is what I would be concerned about. I would probably mix perlite into the ProMix.
Well then, I’m just going to have to try it!

This may helps some.

I usually , but not always, transplant at about the size you have there, but that’s me :)

Regular soil = Pre bagged Potting Mixture indregents.
Humus

Seeds went into water today for 24 hours.
I have 4 CB Dutch Treat seeds in water because they're not feminized.

YES! New ones to come!
No, sorry - that didn’t help me. In the post on May 30 (of this year), I see that you mention a new method of growing, but I couldn’t find any reference to hempy - even going back to the first post in the thread.
How long have you been using a soil/hempy hybrid?
Hola HG,
Best of luck with the regular Dutch Treat seeds - I’m sending thoughts of girls your way!

Been doing "hempy" mostly in all my grows, even if it's not specifically mentioned. It complements my growing style.
Any bucket or container can be hempy, just need a hole roughly 1" from bottom and a medium that will not retain water well, like coco coir or pearlite ect. I've tryed other mediums myself but prefer the HP Promix and nautural nutrients... I end up watering daily as the medium is bone dry in 24hrs. Constant water also equals constant air reaching the roots, which makes our plants grow.
Ya, I prefer hempy myself - just didn’t think a peat-based mix + a regular potting soil would dry out very quickly, which is what I like about perlite. But 100% perlite dries out a bit too fast outdoors in the summer here, so I was looking into adding in some vermiculite. But I hadn’t considered a ProMix hempy...

The seeds moved from the glasses of water to damp paper towels last night and these are them:
If you can magnify the next photo on your device, you might be able to see the wee bit of shell popping open on the front seed (the one that looks like I'm pointing at it):

Should have a root by tomorrow.
Yeah, get that puppy planted. It's now officially living off its very finite store of onboard resources. You know it's alive; the "paper towel thing" serves no other purpose than that.

I planted 4 of the seeds in ProMix this morning. CBDutch1 grew through the paper towel but Felonious was able to wiggle it out safely. And, GSC1's root broke in two just below the seed casing but the whole root and seed casing stayed together so we planted it, too but just to be on the safe side, I have another GSC seed in water. The worst that can happen is I'll have 3 GSCs instead of 2. And, to me, that would be a win having 3 but I have to take into consideration how many pots I'll be able to fit in the 3x3 tent. After all, it's not a hempy grow this time. 
Anyhow, here are some photos:
CBDutch (we planted the 2 seeds on the right). The other two are still in paper towel until the root is a little longer.

Finally here! Congrats on the new babies and next time a tap root goes through the paper towel, plant the paper towel with it 
. No damage done!
