no need for hydroton, but I wouldn't recommend 100% perlite either. In my experience adding a bit of vermiculite to the mixture really helps with cation retention and overall nutrition for the plants as well as helping to retain some moisture so you don't have to water every single day

sweet i just went to the hydro shop and got 2 5gal buckets and one big net pot , one 5gal dwc and one 5gal hempy i made a 7/8 hole on the bottom of the bucket , the bottom of my hole is 1 3/4 from the bottom of bucket is that ok or should i silicon and raist it? cant wait to get them up and running, also on the dwc should i do a top feed along with the air stone in the solution. thanks

the hole sounds like it's in perfect position. If you haven't already thought this far then you need to start planning on a screen to hold the perlite from washing out the hole when you water.
The point of DWC is that you don't have to do any top watering

i'm not trying to argue with you harry, but to my knowledge, in hempy buckets yes do a 3:1 of perlite to vermiculite,
BUT in the dwc i would think using straight perlite or hydroton would be much better. Vermiculite would become over saturated and get soggy and nasty, plus it will end up all gettin out his net pot and be everywhere in his res. Over saturation results in root rot, which results in no weed...  
the perlite has great drainage, and doesn't hold to much moisture.
The only reason i am arguing this fact is because i had asked about doing a mixture of verm and perl in my hydro setup on here long ago, and everyone shot down the idea and said to go with either straight perl or hydroton. And thats what i am doing and its working DAMN good, i must say.
Except for spency, he was suggesting the mixture, until he changed his mind.

well I was in no way suggesting to use vermiculite in the DWC, nobody ever does that because it completely defeats the purpose of a submergence hydro system. if you'll remember, I was one of the people who told you not to use vermiculite in your system, so of course I'm not suggesting that now.
However, in Hempy's a 3:1 ratio of vermiculite is WAY too much. I use absolutely no more than a 6:1 ratio but probably closer to 8-10:1.

 you don't want the roots to tangle?  good luck with that man, I'll give you $1000 if you can grow a plant without the roots tangling 
And no, no peat or coco in hempy's. Hempy is Perlite and Vermiculite only. And if you'll read the rest of the thread you'll see that 3:1 is NOT the correct ratio

Hey guys just wanted to give a little update. The bottoms of my plants are receiving really low amounts of light, the penetration on the 400W is really not all that deep. Since I have another 400W light I decided to hook that sucker up so now I have 800W altogether. I left the top one alone and added the second one on the side for some side penetration. It seems that there is a lot more light in there now.
Also a thing that concerns me a little bit is flowering seems to be going kind of slowly. Its been 17 days now and there isnt really any bud formation at least compared to my aero log. I am doing Northern lights which is a different strain but still just a bit worried. I am following the fox farms nute schedule to the T and it is completely dark (cant see hand in front of face) during the off cycle. Maybe I am just a bit paranoid. Hopefully it starts to pick up. Will post pics in the next few days.

your plants look real healthy, are they shooting out pistols and hairs? it takes awhile for them to build up but once you start seeing nice thick white hairs they fattn up. i just started using low strenth bloom ferts n im still workin my way up and maybe once you start seeing hairs count that as day 1 of flower , one of mine was an auto so once it started showing i switched lights so the cotton candy is a few days behind. another week and you should have some sweet formation especially with those lumens. how are you likin the hempys?

So far I love how easy it is compared to the aero setup. Especially since I had a failure in one of the hoses and my entire res emptied in an hour and nearly drowned the people downstairs lol. It is starting to show signs of flowering that I would expect to have seen really early on. I am just paranoid. I will do as you said as it seems like some solid advice. Though should I expect them to stretch much more? Right now after 2 weeks they are at a perfect height, but if they stretch much more its going to be a pain in the tits. lol

two questions; are you running the same strain as your aero setup? And, can we get an updated picture of them? some strains just take awhile to get going in 12/12

Nope not running the same strain.... was master kush in the Aero, now im doing Norther Lights both by Nirvana. I will post updated pics tomorrow. I did happen to have a pic on my phone of the light setup I have now. 400 on the top and 400 on the side
as of last night I would say that the leaves are starting to bunch up a little bit...as in no more veg growth and starting to show signs of flowering
