These girls are starting to stink up the joint. Trichomes are everywhere.
I haven't watered since Sunday. I will be giving them light bloom nutes tomorrow. They are yellowing a little early.
The plants have gained so much budweight
compared to the buckets they are a trifle top-heavy.
I am not complaining
These things are huge.
Make no mistake.
I'm not holding up lighters or beer bottles for comparison.
I'm trying to find my fire extinguisher.
The three clones I started flowering last week aren't doing much yet, random pistils here and there.
I just came over here from the hempy thread to see what all the fuss is over. Man Shnkrmn whatever you're doing I want to duplicate it. Your trees are awesome!
I hope you don't mind but I have a few questions.
How low do you place the hempy hole (sounds kinky) on the 5g buckets?
You mentioned in an earlier post that you can look at the roots, how is that done?
I guess you don't worry at all that the buckets are not entirely light proof?
When you veg, what lights and light cycle do you use? (it seems like vegging for 24 for 3 months could get expensive)
What nute mixture do you veg with?
Are you flowering under 2 600 watters? One above one on the side?
I think that should bring me up to speed.
Thanks,
YGB
Thanks so much. Your girls look like an outdoor grow.
A few of more questions.
During veg your R/O water has FF Big Grow only?
At what PPM?
When you switch to the flowering mix of Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, cal-mag+ and hygrozyme, what are your ratios?
During veg and flower you water when the bucket is nearly dry? Which is usually about once a week. And you alternate the waterings: nutes then pure water?
I assume you run pure water for the last couple of week to flush too.
I guess I have a lot of question, that's the journalist in me.
Thanks again,
YGB
Dude, you have every reason to brag. Thanks for everything. I think I got it now except for one last questionI'm happy to respond. That's what this journal is for (well, bragging too!)
Thank you sir. I'll have it on Saturday just in time to water.To answer your question-If I were to add just one thing, I'd add Cha Ching to boost the swelling and increase resin production...
I place each plant in an empty rubbermaid and let most of the runoff collect in that. Otherwise, my basement kind of looks like buffalo bill's place in Silence of the Lambs. stone walls, some dirt floors, etc. Except for all the weird serial killer,moth fancier shit lol. So, if I'm lazy I just water em in place and let the runoff go to a floor drain. It dries in a few hours this time of year.Dude, you have every reason to brag. Thanks for everything. I think I got it now except for one last question
When you water, where does the runoff go? I don't see any drips or spots on the bucket or ground.
I just did a snow melt test.
ph - 7.8 (too high, tap water is 7.5 and I have lots of trouble controlling ph)
TDS - 11 (I like that, tap water is 280)
When your grow is done, do you just throw out the perlite or have you found a way to reuse it?
