OGKushAutomatics HempyBucketStyle

I have been wanting to try hydroponics. And I have been wanting to try MegaCrop (MC). So, I am going to test both with a couple hempy buckets, a couple OG Kush Autos and straight MC (unless I need to correct a deficiency). I am using black 5 gallon buckets with a water level tube and a drain hole placed 1-1/4 inch from the bottom of the bucket (a 1/2 gallon of water fills the reservoir). The buckets are filled with 100% perlite (washed with pH corrected (5.8) water). I started with 2 Sensible Seeds OG Kush Auto seeds. I placed them directly in rockwool plugs that had been flushed with pH corrected RO water at 5.8 and laced with mycos. Only 1 germinated, after about 96 hours, the other was a dud that cracked and turned to goo. I placed the survivor in a 4 inch rockwool cube soaked in pH corrected (5.8) water laced with 1 gram MC per gallon. The cube will be placed in the bucket once the roots show through the rockwool cube. In the meantime she will get 4 oz. of water with MC each day. I also placed a FastBuds West Coast OG seed in a coffee filter (the tap root will grow into a paper towel) soaked with pH corrected (5.8) RO water laced with mycos. After 48 hours in plastic bag in a brown bag in a dark warm place her tap was about 1/4 inch or so. After 72 hours she went into a rockwool (RW) plug that went into the germ chamber in the grow room. She finally popped 48 hrs later after a little help shedding her shell and skin. I placed her in a 4 inch RW cube until she is ready for the bucket (about 6 or 7 days). After 6 days the OGK was placed in the bucket, her roots finally showed through the RW. She will get fed every day for the next 10 to 14 days by watering the edges of the cube until the roots reach the bottom of the bucket. After which she will be fed a half gallon a water each day and the runoff will be collected. That is the plan for now. We'll see how it goes and I will update with changes as required. Happy growing everyone and thanks for tuning in and turning on. All questions and comments are greatly appreciated.
