hey our Walter, my growing experience to date is 8 plants, two of which were geezers, all in Soil, so whats a hempy pot? feel free to take the piss, I only realised today what bennies are
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
