Old Dog, nice plants....good to know someone who's read Dali Hempy's original threads...how laughable and entertaining were his temper tantrums when anyone suggested improvements to the hempy's simplicity...sounds like you may be working an improved version too. I wish you luck. Swing over to the "World of Hempy" thread https://www.rollitup.org/drain-waste-hydro/546006-world-hempy.html and introduce yourself...warm friendly folk there and no flames...lots of info passed and everything from 2L SOG to 5G outdoors.
Thx mxtimmyr! When you try it...skip the all perlite version and try coco first...(coco up top, perlite in reservoir)....You just might like hempy over airpots for watering ease and frequency. We still get air in there somehow....hempy magic! BTW 400W is great for less plants...I use 380W of LED during the summer and still make monsters in 2gal buckets. It's weird how I stumbled on this method while I grew in soil...never ever going back. Check out "World of Hempy" and tell 'em jela sent yah. https://www.rollitup.org/drain-waste-hydro/546006-world-hempy.htmlDude I cannot believe the arm sized colas you have achieved under 400w lights.
Hempy buckets aren't something I've heard of before, but it's something I'm definitely going to be looking into it with my next grow, maybe 2 pots alongside my usual setup. I particularly like the idea of combining with airpots (which I am a massive fan of) like Old Dog showed above.
Well done again, and I hope you break the scales!
Tx, yes, frost during 100° temps here; I'll be popping last pics up here as soon as RIU gets over it's problem...site is really bogging down in the evenings. Trimming next few days...lower buds get the TrimPro this time...my poor aching scissor hands.

Day 55 flower, and they are showing it....nothing but RO water, Cannazyme and Canna Boost....tomorrow I'll start taking them down one branch at a time...so these are the last pics I'll show as standing plants. I had to really wire these up the last couple of days...they are just too top heavy.

I can't really say why, but a lot of my big tops on several consecutive grows have been "fox tails"...the largest top here has multiple shoots of tops emanating from it too. Makes it harder to trim of course but interesting to note. I'm sure it adds more bud weight and keeps bud rot/mold to a minimum.

Jeal, great read tonight, sending over to WOH...
The girls look even the runt...
I think foxtails are extra buds that grow of the cola? I think I have some on my plants too.
But I can't wait to see the harvest

Nice new avatar Who-kie! Yes, foxtailing is just that, singular buds that strat growing out & away from the main cola.Jeal, great read tonight, sending over to WOH...

hey man looks superb, you have done those genetics proud. tell me, I heard a rumour SB was low odour, can you confirm or deny this?

Thx puff-d! Yes I can say this is the lowest odor strain I've ever grown...early on in flower you had to touch it or disturb it in some way to get a citrusy sweet smell and only until last week could you smell anything in the room when the tent doors were opened for maintenance. Its definately a grapefruit type of smell and no one I know would associate it to MMJ. Even then it's a light smell, not strong. We will see how the odor is when I start trimming.

That's good information to have Jela. SB being low odor.
Maybe that's where the name comes from, as its pretty difficult to smell a sharks breath too
(since they're fish) lol

Funny one Moe, my hempy brother! That reminds me, part of the SB cross is Lambsbreath...It might just be more feasible to get a sniff of a lamb at a petting zoo....aids longevity compared to shark "huffing".That's good information to have Jela. SB being low odor.

Thanks jela10. Yeah, that's why I don't really post there. Not interested in a war of words pertaining to something that is suppose to be peaceful and soothing, and not to mention, a shit load of fun! I like the "K.I.S.S." method as much as the next guy, but you can be innovative and still keep it simple. What if every industry thought that way..... my way is the best, even if you show me yours is better? I like to keep an open mind. The "manual recirculating airpot coco hempy system" is THE SHIT! I see growth everyday like an outdoor grow! The best system for me, so far, as I am not interested in hydro with a bunch of moving parts. Took the advice that you gave to someone else, and checked out your boy del66666. I love that guy! He made me rethink my method. I did some autos last year.(Him. Blue Diesel) Got reg beans and made a fuck ton of babies. Pretty good all in all, but why not just go with photo and flower right off the bat? With the exception of very few autos, they should yield more over all. Built a new cab today! Rockin some 12/12 from gate, while my big girls do their thing! Sorry guys, not trying to bogart the thread, I just LOVE THIS SHIT! Peace

Ok, tonight I had just enough time after a long work day to start taking down some Sharksbreath. I started with the largest cola of them all for fear of bud-rot due to it's thickness and a sudden increase in humidity. Not the frostiest of the buds but an impressive length and girth which made me feel like a kid at Christmas. Lots of fox-tailing...which seems to follow me around last few grows. For the first time ever I weighed something freshly cut (219g or 7.7oz) on a single cola and I watered 3 days ago. I'll bring up more bud shots as the weekend progresses...taking my time since new girls are not ready for the flower tent (taking their time after FIM's).

Kick ass cola dude! Really dig your granite kitchen island. The warehouse attatched to the one i run is a granite wholesaler. Ive collect a metric fuckton of their scrap to use once i get ambitious.

Thx 808! Nore pics to come...hey your new room is the shit man...wished I could dedicate a whole room to my grow...
Shiva, how interesting, we went to granite wholesaler and found some "Mascarello" slabs that were discounted due to a few defects. I met with the rock cutter and we laid out the pieces for our kitchen such that the defects weren't included in any one piece. Saved a ton of money. This stuff is so articualte you can get stoned and find little scenes inside it. Funny we never can find them the next day.(LOL)
