World Of Hempy

If I have a ways to go in flower and I've started yellowing a little early I've added a half dose of veg.

Thanks Chaka, im not a half-wit then. LOL

In the past Ive advised it was OK to do. Now come to my own plants, and they need a bit of green and I was like .....errrr?

 

[supchaka]

I subtract the corresponding amount of bloom nutes so as not to bump the ppm over my target.

 

[Moebius]

You guys are so cool. Its great being able to run things by y'all. even when its a relatively schoolboy question.

I feel most of us in WoH have a similar mindset!! That being said what I think happens is we are all experimenting with so many new ideas/tweaking existing methods. We get overloaded n have a moment with the basics lol. I have brain-fartz all the time lol, Just refer back to RiU/WoH

Hit the nail on the head.

haha

I need to smoke less.

Awesome Bozo! Gotta love that coco. Before I read the text I looked at the pictures and thought "those are 3 weeks in" then I saw the identical text you wrote (neener,neener)....looking at your girls, next week would be a great time for 7-10days of PK13/14 additions if you roll like that...makes some monster buds.

thanks man and sorry i didn't get back to you sooner, ...man this thread moves fast! lol.

...anyway, i expect i'll try a PK booster in the future but i'm in a new place and dialing in new methods so i want to wait until i am completely familiar with what i can expect before i introduce any additives, ...i want to KNOW if they are effective or just a waste of money so doing a few runs with just the Jack's Pro will give me a baseline to compare to once i do start the additives.

If I wanted to, I could run the same strain over and over and maximize yields on that alone. But our state's MMJ laws have a 25 mile rule where if a dispensary opens within 25 miles, they take away your cultivation rights on your next years MMJ card. So I'm trying as many strains as possible before that happens, just for the experience of it all.

i don't know man, growing is HIGHLY addictive, ...if they opened a dispensary across the street from you i doubt you'd stop growing, lol.

Irfanview is a free, and simple editor.. nothing as powerful as paintshop or other stuff, but does quite a bit of conversion of pic type and re-sizing/basic edit. Hope this helps!

...yeah man, i've been using the Irfanview for a few years now and for general photo maintenance and light editing it works like a charm, ...and you sure can't beat the price!

i want to do the cfl but i dont know how to go about it. and trimming was hard for me... it hurt cutting them like that. and how much lower foliage would i have to trim off to lolipop it. each mother has at least 20-30 colas.. and i was thinking about putting a soccer net over them. they cant support themselves up as it is already idk how they will be able to when they flower.

and my bestfriends gf.... well lets just say i watch alot of breaking bad... jk..or am i?

...if you need help with setting up CFLs you won't have far to go as they are easy and there are MANY here with the requisite skills to help you out. ...frankly, all you really need to do is get a multi-bulb bathroom vanity fixture, mine have 4 blubs each, and add splitters, easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I'm trying to move away from perpetual just because I want all my plants the same height. It will also help me dial in the feed for different stages of flower, up till now its been more or less the same for small plants and big plants.

...yeah man, you don't need to give up on the perpetual nature of your grow if you have a veg space, just staggered harvests.

i used to run a high-density micro-SOG at one time and at full capacity i ran 55x 1liter Smartwater bottle 'pots' and i pulled 10 every 2 weeks in a staggered harvest.

...i'm still dialing in so i've still some details to work out, like plant count, i'm currently running 11x 6liter 'pots' but i plan on getting to just 8 plants.

...anyway, i'm lucky that this new apartment has a 4ft5inch x 4ft5inch x 8ft closet that i converted into my flower room and that freed up my 4 x 4 DR120 which is now serving as my veg tent.

what that means for me is i'm able to veg my next round while the current round is flowering so when i harvest one run, i immediatly flip the next run on the same day!

...so it's still perpetual but all the plants are flipped on the same day and mostly harvested on the same day, with the caveat that some finish faster than others, ...i try to always run at least a couple flavors for variety with each run so there IS some fluctuation in the timing but for the most part, i flip the same day as i harvey.

...and i try and match them up so i run 8 weekers with other 8 weekers and not with 10 weekers, lol.

...so basically i'm still running a SOG, just on an 8 to 10 week cycle depending on which strains i'm running.

These are tentatively what I'm going to use for my scrog. They are about 1.5 gal like my blue bucket and there will be 3. They seem kind of small but when I see what my other one did I think they can handle it. My thoughts are, what am I going to use as a tray? The red plates would probably work ok and I might be able to slide them out still for cleaning. Worst case I throw a towel in the plate to soak up the solution if I need to flush and the plates full. If I go with something deeper I surely won't be able to remove it. What say all of u.

When I used individual catch trays I tried using a sponge but it is a pain. I later went on and used my wet/dry shop vac and it worked great.

...lol, i remember how grateful i was and how stupid i felt when someone recommended a 'bucket-head', ...i didn't know what the phuck he was talking about, lol!

They look nice and stable, not sure the cost would make it worth it though. and I do like the dimension of the bottles.

I tried for ages to find a racking system like they have in supermarkets for 2L bottles. I looked for about a week but couldn't find any suppliers. The trays they use are designed to drain freely, be washable, and you can carry them with the bottles in. ... Next time you're in the supermarket have a look at them, they're genius piece of design.

Apparently, theres a company that holds the patent and leases out the trays to supermarkets and makes millions. The supermarkets don't even own them.

This is one type of design.

...often, if you buy 8 bottles, the store will let you take the rack home with you, ...i think i have 8 or 10 laying around from when i was doing my 2liter SOG, lol.

anyway, as i'm not keeping a journal i thought i'd post up a few more shots of my closet donut and these were taken this morning and are at day 37 from the flip.

all in 6liter coco-hempys with either hydroton or grorocks in the res and all fed nothing but Jack's Pro, from rooted clone until the looming harvest with the caveat that they get a 2 week flush at the end of just water and molasses.







peace, bozo

No you're right. I have a flower room so I won't stop perpetual. Basically I have two zones in the flower room so I can stagger once. Zone 1 can fit 80 Hempys. Zone 2 can fit 40 Hempys. .... I don't need a veg room so Im all good.

Its great that you have a closet to use at your new place. .... I now look at closets in a completely different way than I did before growing. Extremely useful to have, effectively it gives you a garden, indoor. haha.

...often, if you buy 8 bottles, the store will let you take the rack home with you, ...i think i have 8 or 10 laying around from when i was doing my 2liter SOG, lol.

Oh, I tried quite a bit and just got strange looks. Maybe in some countries shop-keepers actually respect their customers, over here they look at you like they're doing you a favor by selling you stuff.

2 Lemonator seeds have cracked so its straight into some pots.

Your grow is fucking AWESOME. ... I'm staring at the the images and taking it all in. I love it man. ... Ok. I'm just going to look at this for a few more minutes.

...thanks man, that means a lot coming from you and i know in my heart it wouldn't be possible without my hempy's, ...my grobro here in the real is a diehard organic grower and he has switched his indoor op to duplicate my methods, he's just been amazed at my growth rates since i switched it up from organic smartpots to Jack's Pro in coco-hempy's.

he got lazy at first and tried amended coco, then straight coco with some MaxiBloom i gave him and he's found what i already knew, that the hempy technology is at least half the equation, ...he's such a believer now that a few weeks ago he rinsed all the organic dirt from the roots of his next run and put them into coco hempys with hydroton in the bottom, lol.

...anyway, if you look at the likes of your quoted post you'll see 'whocares100' is one who likes this post and i wanted to let you and the rest of the hempy family know that she is new to growing the ganja but not entirely new to gardening.

...her husband is a cancer patient and she is working very hard to learn to grow enough to make oil for him and i've sent her here because some of you are doing what she needs and wants to do so i ask you all to be kind and patient and help her if you can.

btw, she has a fairly goodsized footprint but she is limited to 4 feet vertically so my barebulb donut won't work but she has room for a high-density 2liter hempy SOG.

let's see if we can't help these people my fellow hempy growers, ...let's show them how to get it right the first time!

peace, and thanks in advance, bozo

Moebius, am I seeing things or is the one on the right doing a u-turn in the seed hull....usually they look like the one on the left....tap root same direction as the "pointed" end of the seed. The one on the right looks like the its coming back up to the end where it was attached to the bud.

You've steered 'Whocares100' to the right place my friend. ....... I know ALL at WoH take pride in the little community we've created and at the heart of it all is our willingness to help our fellow growers.

4 ft ... pah! .. no problem ..... (much)

Certain strains are out .... unless we go into training (always a possibility) but some strains are naturally suited to low level growing.

In researching the freebie MAZAR KUSH I got on promo, I came across this pic. Grown under 150w HPS, It shows that Mazar kush works in micro-grows.

I think I left it in the glass of water for a few hours too long. ... In a day or too, we'll see if it sprouts. I think it'll be OK.

A really good free photo utility is called Gimp. I first started using it on Linux and its probably the best I've ever used for free. There are windows version, http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

So my plants are gonna be root bound as shit by the time I'm ready for them and then I thought hey! Lets make it intentional! If I have a fat root mass I can break up when I do finally transplant into my hempys, they can pretty much already have their roots in the rez. It's a knack I have for explaining bad timing or other semi unplanned events. I'm giving them veg nutes in the party cups, which is something I don't ever do cuz they don't stay in them so long.

Whocares100 (and Bozo)

Ive just measured my space and its height is 3ft 9 inches. Anything I can do, you can do too.

Also, Ive been looking at Bozo's tech and considering it .... I'm certain I can do that method also (WATCH THIS SPACE) lol

Hey Bozo,

Is she trying to make the rick simpson oil in order to try to eradicate the cancer? Depending on where yall are located I have a large amount of outdoor buds and am linked in with a great canna/cancer group. Having had way too many family members pass from cancer I would be willing to donate. PM me if wanted.

I've had a few taps grow the wrong direction. All i've done is carefully remove the husk and plant the taproot towards the bottom of the container, every single one survived. Some were runts till they got a good foothold, but still made it I can't remember where I read it but it said when they do that they can have a tendency to strangulate the taproot and kill it before it even gets a chance, hence the husk removal. Peace!!
