Spear city!The heat has been harsh in my room. I'm at day 34 just about 1/2 way through flower, and just starting to really build some buds.

It wouldn't hurt. You can also use simple liquid pH test kits like this:Do I need a ph pen and/or ec pen...? Tap water or rain water the best..?
thanks
The high heat does not seem to have affected your girls. They still look real good!!!I'm sure Moe was advised to not frequent a place like this while things are unfolding.

Hey guys, I plan on doing Hempy for my next grow. Growing in coco/perlite as of now. I want to do a coco hempy. So here are my questions.
-IN a 3 gallon and 5 gallon bucket, how far should the hole be up for the rez?
-Am I correct in thinking I just fill the bottom up to the hole with chunky perlite, then the rest with straight coco? Or should it be a coco/perlite mix.
-When watering, should I fill it up so I get just a bit of runoff from the hole, or enough to know I flushed out old nutrients?
- When starting from seed, should I start them as usual in a normal coco cup? Then when they become seedlings transplant them as normal? Or should I create a mini hempy in a solo cup.
- Right now I follow H3AD's coco formula with a couple aditions I made myself. Should I follow this with a coco hempy, as it's designed for coco, or should I do something completely designed for DWC hydro.
Thanks for the help.
Lovin it Jela! Let those little guys down low bask in the light for a while. It's amazing how quickly those undernodes will shoot up for the light once the mains are trained down. Looks great Jela, I heard that RP's Skywalker is a stretchy girl but training under a screen will redirect growth to multiple branches, slowing down overall stretch some.Ok I lied, I just started tucking growth tips over to the next 4" square to get my tops spread out..I don't even know what I'm doing either but it's only day 7 of flower and I've got some stretching girls ..must be a disease that Stone passed on to us.

Photo Update: All plants are doing well, even the blue cheese in soil.View attachment 2728781 My current grow. From left to right: Toxic Blue 33 CH9 seeds freebie, Blue Cheese bagseed from a buddy, and White Widow auto from Dinafem. They were all started in soil. I have had a hell of a time with root aphids so i swapped the Toxic Blue to hempy bucket. White Widow stayed soil since she is an auto and i didn't want to stunt her at all. I was expecting the Blue Cheese to be a male because of the very rapid growth, but she turned out to be a girl. She is still in soil.
View attachment 2728782 This photo was taken the day I swapped the Toxic Blue over to hempy. I transplanted her into straight perlite. Her light cycle was changed to 12/12 at this time. She was already showing pistils at all nodes.
View attachment 2728783 This photo was taken about a week after swapping to 12/12. the growth rate was absolutely shocking. I would have to say she has quadrupled in size.
View attachment 2728784 About another week down the road. She was about half the size of the White Widow before flipping. She passed her very quickly size wise.
View attachment 2728785 A top view of the Toxic Blue 33 and the Blue Cheese. Their light cycles were changed at the same time, but the hempy bucket totally blew away the soil. She is the most beautiful plant i have grown by a long shot. Sexy as hell.
You should definitely give it a go if you have girls with multiple tops, you wont be disappointed and it will be awesome for us to watch...Ok I lied, I just started tucking growth tips over to the next 4" square to get my tops spread out..I don't even know what I'm doing either but it's only day 7 of flower and I've got some stretching girls ..must be a disease that Stone passed on to us.

Thanks for the quality answer... As a cheap-skate I bought some litmus paper and tested both the rain water and tap water..It wouldn't hurt. You can also use simple liquid pH test kits like this:
http://generalhydroponics.com/site/index.php/products/maintenance/ph_buffers/ph_test_kit/
Make sure your pH is right around 6 (5.6 - 5.8 is ideal). Tap water is fine as long as it doesn't contain chlorine (city water does, but if you need to use it leave it standing overnight before you do). No matter what you use for water make sure you get that Ph in the range you need.
EDIT: Also, make sure you soak your medium (perlite, coco, etc.) in the pH'd water before you use it. This is after you rinse it out, of course.
