C99 in flower, help with ppms in hempys

[Billytheluther]

So I have 4 plants in flower right now.. 4 c99 from joeyweed, they are clones from a mom I had in organic super soil. I placed the clones in hempy buckets and have given them ro water and flora trio from general hydroponics. They seem to be doing well, very well, but I’d like to know if I can up the ppms. They are receiving 775 ppm at the moment but I’d like to see them fill out nicely. They are 5ft tall from the ground with 5 gallon pots that place them at 4ft from medium. They look great I just want them to fill out great so I’d like some advice on how to fill out those colas

on how those look, looks like they're still going to stretch for a while be patient Cindy is a little bit more of a slower flowering ran her for around 76+ days and she just got huge.

more light?

more light?

I can’t give them anymore light, my temps are running in the 80s as is, I have them under a 1000 watt cool hood with a 6 inch fan but my temps stay pretty high. They seem to be doing good I’ll post a pic up in a bit once I go water them

I would only increase by 200-300pm at a time. watch for burns you could always read your run off to see if they are feeding , if your run off is close to your inflow all is well.

There they are in progress, this bottom one is small about a foot tall, it’s looking just around ready

I wanted to give it 3 days darkness, should I maybe start?

I'm running a recirculating hempy now as well. 2 weeks into flower and I'm at 1.7-1.8 EC with Chem-Gro nutes. I've been using HydroGardens for fruits and vegetables for 15 years so the mixing and whatnot is the same. Very happy with hempy. 1/2 perlite, 1/2 hydroton clay balls in the bucket and straight hydroton in the netpots with a soaker ring on top and spray ring in the bucket. All drains down into a rez until next feed ~30seconds every hour.
Deficiencies creep up slowly and are easily treated by a solution shot into the netpot or foliar fed via pump sprayer

Hey guys sorry for leaving the thread I know a lot of y’all have responded sconce then thank y’all.. here’s an update on what I have going on right now
Here’s the feed for now

GH trio at 4-0-8 ratio(late bloom)75%strength
So for 5gallons in doing 15-0-30

armor si silica at 3ml per 5gallons
Calimagic at 8mls per 5gallons

I’m starting to cut back on nutes as they are getting ready to the end heres a pic I took 3 days ago. I’ll post a recent one tomorrow

they’re a little further along on the hairs but I’m thinking still another couple days maybe a week or 2. This is day 41 on the pic currently day 44

That’s a hell of a system you got there, I’m trying to rigg something similar for my indoor setup but I can’t use recerculating just drain to waste as I have already started them in hempy’s. Do you have a thread on that? I’d like to look into that as I have almost everything needed I would just need hose lines and pumps and maybe a Rez

I've got schematics in my journal but nothing online. i did drain to waste last year in Promix/coco and hated handwatering with a 60hr/ week job. i have another emergency overflow drain that runs directly into the existing Basement sump to be pumped out to my backyard.
After that, Basically just 1/2" bulkhead fittings out the bucket with drain lines that run into a 1-1/2"pvc pipe that gravity drains down to a rez with a 2000gph sump pump w/float, run on a cycle timer to shoot it back up through the floor via 1" PVC. That fresh solution then gets shot through an 80mesh filter and into a main feed manifold I drilled and tapped to fit 1/2" hose barbs for each bucket. Airstones are in the bottom of the buckets with a 5gal paint strainer to keep all the little perlite mess in said buckets.
The top feed rings are just 1/4" soaker hose cut to fit with a T-barb connected to 1/4" airhose that connects to the top of that buckt's 1/2" feed coming out of the PVC manifold.
Everything is on a cart with casters and the fill and drain lines have room to move around for cleaning/maintenance.
1 cart gets started every 4 weeks w/ 2x Nanolux 1000w cmh DE lamps + some LEDs that help with the emerson effect.
