I was a ROLS grower for quite a while and just recently tried hempy, and I'm digging it. Definitely seems like I'm seeing faster growth. Haven't tried nutes in soil though.

I was suggested to try a Hempy bucket too. I think I'll do one at a time. I don't want to overdue it to where I get frustrated. I tried soil first because one cloudy day I found a seed in a bomb ass bag I had. I asked my fiancée and after a week of hounding her, I was given the green light. Looking back, I don't even know how I kept that plant alive. As it was growing though, that's when I decided to take this seriously and start learning.

It's funny because I see Ph being a super super important thing and here I am just watering and feeding away without a care in the world lol. I think I just got my grow locked in.Nice dude, that’s a big step! Can’t wait to see how she goes for you

Ya that’s an interesting one. Do your nutes have an auto pH or do you know how much pH down to use or are you just lucky? hahaha

I use Fox Farm nutes lol. I don't use anything besides the trio and GH Cal-mag....that's it. Ive never ever ph'd anything.

That’s veryyy strange hahaha! After mixing my trio and CM I usually have a pH around high 7’s low 8’s.

I follow the chart perfectly too. If I see a plant showing signs I back off slightly but Ive only had 2 plants not take a full feed. I also use straight tap water too.

YOU’RE A MADSADLAD! Lol I didn’t even think to try without pH’ing.

They do!!
If you posted that on the mains they’d condemn your plants to certain demise! Hahahah!
Maybe it’s cause you just grew them up that way? Our girls are very adaptable?

I should start a thread asking what's the big deal with Ph. but then I'll have to run for the hills because it may cause someone to have a stroke. All I know is I do the same thing every single grow and Ive yet to deal with anything major. My worse trouble so far were a few Fungus Gnats that I had a few months back. I just follow the schedule, let my tap water sit 24 hours before using and that's it. I also add cal-mag once a week to. Nothing else at all.

Dude, do not! You will be burned alive in a field of bud rot infested hemp!

I think they just adapt to the environment. I could be wrong....hell maybe just getting SUPER lucky that it falls in the range after I mix. I really don't know. I tried to Ph the tap water once but I dropped the strip into the toilet on accident so there went that idea.

Starting to see some yellowing and a little spotting on my Blue Dream. She's 5 weeks in flower now. I'll keep on eye on her over the next few days to observe how fast it's spreading. It's very slight so I am not too worried about it. She has a suggested flowering time of 7-9 weeks. I'll post pictures in the morning when my lights turn on. Other plants at this stage are showing nothing out of the usual. I expect fade to start soon on a few of them.
My Early Skunk F4's are really starting to add noticeable weight day by day. Colas are starting to weigh themselves down. Flowering time as short as 53 days. Also 5 weeks into flower at this time. Plant that was topped once is twice as tall as her sister that was topped multiple times. Good chance some colas will need to be tied up.
Durban Poison still taking her time. She's not even close. 5 weeks in. Sites are just starting to really develop. This plant nearly grew 4x her height prior to the flip. This was expected though. Clone taken. Possible mother plant?
Girl Scout Cookies is starting to produce heavy trichomes on the sugar leaves. If I had to guess GSC and my Blue Cookies #1 are the heaviest producers so far hitting week 5. Very tall, lengthy plant. Didn't expect such a stretch. One of my favorite of the bunch.
Blue Cookies #1 is getting heavy too. Possible that colas will need to be tied up at some point. Starting to get very nice frosting on the sugar leaves. She was a triploid at one time. One stem that is nearly double the size of every other stem on the plant. Very nice fragrance from her starting to really be noticeable.

The seedlings are really start to kick into gear if you'd call it that. One of them is a little smaller then the other but this went in the soil a day or two past the others. Moderate stretching is being found in the Fire OG. Possible use of bread ties to hold them up may need to be applied. Lowered the light about 2 inches and built up the soil a little around them. Domes to be removed today or tomorrow. Plants are drinking roughly 30 ml of water in a 24 hour period following a water. Transplant looking to be around 2 weeks to 3 gallon fabrics. New soil being used to I will not feed until about 2 weeks after transplant. Topping once I pass the 4th node.
Durban Poison Clone has taken root well and will be transplanted in the next week. Possible mother? Feeds to start 2 weeks after transplant.
Entering week 6 of flower, I will give the plants that are closest to finish a 3x pot size flush followed by a normal feed. Defoliation of any leaves blocking any sites midway up. I'll start dropping an hour of light each week from this point. Very strong smell when the lights kick off. Normal feeds today. Fading to start on some of the plants.
In my pheno hunt, I had my first mother destroyed by my cat. Will NEVER happen again. I am liking the Durban Poison that I have in flower. Very long flowering time. Clone taken just in case. Will decide if she's the one once I cure her flowers. Looking to get a 50/50 hybrid in the end but will settle for a 60/40 ratio. My plans in this are taking a long flowering sativa and breed with a short flowering indica. I also want to flip this as well. Harder to find a shorter flowering sativa though so possibly already a hybrid? Once I clear some room in my tents, I will start the search fora father too. Looking for the right combination is not easy. I may chuck pollen once just to get used to the process of breeding.

Here are the babies. Bubba Kush is are the bottom 2 while Fire OG are the top 2.
Stretching is continuing nicely. Training them slightly as they grow. Basically just tightening the current ties and adding any if needed.
The ladies after their feeds today. Coming along as expected.
My Early Skunk F4 #1 5 weeks into flower. Picking up noticeable bud growth. Very very strong smell.
Still getting very minimal stretching. Has come to a hault though I believe. I had topped this plant more times then #1. Very strong smell as well.
Some of my little fun Solo's that I like to do.

***Note*** if any of the plants are a little yellower then the other, this is from the phone's flash.

Looking back at my first plants I have ever grown. I still don't know I kept them alive lol.
