Yeah any newbies here are some tips, do not fill the pot noodle with loads of holes it will need watering every hour, a hole or two that lets water drain a little slower is enough, foliar feeding is your friend in soil the pots are not big enough to feed enough, and put it in a pint glass or something so it doesnt fall over when it dries out. If any one got any more for micro growing feel free :)

Thanks deekay, thats brill advice which I shall follow,  :)  :)

I've just started a full size [well, micro sized] hempy pot so prepared the pot noodle pot at the same time.  Roll on the end of June :)

I'll see what I can do auto wise in my windowcill. That's my best option until my greenhouse auto is harvested.

I'm definitely doing this. Still can't find my seeds though. So @Dekay I may need to pinch one after all 😆

Wouldn't that be awesome if we kicked all these men into touch in a tiny pot too! Hopefully I'll get mine to the end this time, fingers crossed eh.

Hi Dutchy,

 

There are a few variations on the hempy bucket and I'm doing the Coco version.

 

Basically, you take a container with no holes in the bottom suitable for the size of plant you want to grow  [in my case, a cut down plastic milk bottle, cut to 1.5L approx].  

 

Between a quarter and a third of the way up from the bottom, drill a hole in the side.  

 

Fill to just above this hole with perlite [rinse the perlite first].  Fill from the perlite line to the top with coco

 

Plant seed, sapling, coco plug, whatever.

 

When you water the plant, the perlite reservoir will fill up then any excess water in the coco will drain out the hole. 

 

The reservoir gives you the chance to water less often, should you wish, though a daily water is still the optimum way.  It gives you the option to go away for a few days at a time without worrying :)

 

Or that's the theory.  This is my first one :)

 

eta  With regards to the pot noodle version.  I melted three little holes along the bottom of the "ood" in 'noodle' and filled to just higher than that with perlite.  Fuck knows if it'll work :)
