Stoneslacker's 250w micro, hempy, scrog - Blue Hash, Afghan Kush Special. Cheese

[stoneslacker]

Well she definitely looks like she'll be good man, sounds like you'll get some good weight out of her too bring it home mate, all the way to the finish line

She has an old school skunk look to her I think. Definitely on the sativa side and reminds me of smoking in the late 80's.

no words ss... simply stunning job right there.

Thanks mate. They are definitely coming along, pushed em a bit strong on the nutes but they are doing good still.

Stone...u are gonna be stoned....what an awesome grow...

Oh and the holiday feasts are coming up...oh yeah munchies, maybe I'll go make a cheese cake or something...

Thanks who. My kids are teenagers so Christmas is just annoying now lol. But I have a nephew who is almost 2 so that will make me put forth the effort this year. Going to cut a tree the weekend after Thanksgiving, I'm kinda excited.

Great update. They are all competing for my desire. :0)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to stoneslacker again.

Thanks JD. They are definitely all enticing in their own way. Only slightly disappointed in the AKS, not as frosty as I'd like. There is alot of bud mass hiding under all those leaves and she is definitely very kushy. Excited to find out.

Excited to find out.

as we all are!!

Outstanding my friend! Looks like its gonna be another one for the record books.

No doubt! I've been lurking around this site for months almost a year now and have read hundreds of journals from start to finish(No bulls$*t. sometimes ill spend a whole weekend just reading through journals), and this is my favorite by far. SS youre the reason i just dropped 8 beans to start my hempy run and I will be another year of reading and watching before I start my scrog. Hopefully not, but seeing what you do with that 250 and your scrog, its a lil intimdating to say the least. Maybe you can throw me some pointers when I start.

Understood.

Still TBD is taste, and that could take the crown by itself.
(yes, a stretch, but suppose that is is more banana than Banana OG?)

Bring it home! :0)

I think you may be right. The 2 gallon buckets are starting to pay off I think.
You get a deer? I went up to just hang out didn't even get my license. My growing buddy shot a big 4 point, but a guy couple cabins down shot a massive 8 point with close
to a 20 inch spread. Had a good time, caught a panful of perch to boot.

Thanks for the great compliment BD. Depending on your grow area 8 plants would be a big ass scrog, lol. Even if you don't plan to scrog this round you can still use some LST to spread out the canopy footprint.
Hempy is a great and easy way to grow, just keep an eye on your ph early, and let the buckets go a couple days at least between waterings. I give nutrients with every watering and flush every 17 days or so.
Let me know if I can help out.

Understood.

I'm trying! Hoping I can show some of the patience you had with your headband. I am seeing small signs of ripening, still looks like they are going 65+ days for sure.

Taste is always a major part of the overall rating of the bud. I find I do enjoy almost every type of cannabis flavor.

Thanks for the input SS, but I will not be scrogging any of these eight I just dropped. I just wanted to give hempy a run to see exactly how easy it is. See I've completed two grows in RDWC. The first grow hemied on me as soon as we got into flower so I tossed her. The second grow I just harvested and endend up with 44 grams dry. Each grow was only one plant at a time(NEWB) but was a great learning curve.

So I feel pretty comforatable with RDWC, not a pro by far but since I love the progress of RDWC I will continue to keep running it alongside everything else. I guess me being a newb I want to try every grow method before choosing one and perfecting it. Any thoughts on that?

By the way I have two lemon kush about to hit 5 weeks in soil lol. Will start flowering as soon as my flower room is available again. Once again thanks for the how-to-journal and for your thoughts SS.

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that I only use a 150hps for my grows. I use 4 48" T8 6500k to veg and then rock out with an old ass HPS that one of my friends found cleaning out his parents garage and said I could use for now. It looks ancient but its heavy and reliable so I cant complain.

 

[whocares100]

Stone, Man I have not had Perch in so long...Good job there.

And cutting down a real tree yeah that's awesome.

IME DWC is probably the most productive method I've seen. You can really grow some massive plants if
you have your system dialed in. That being said there is a lot of maintenance involved with keeping a smooth running system.

Hempys are a nice balance between DWC results and soil ease of use. No pumps or air lines to worry about or buckets to clean with rez changes.
A bucket full of perlite will take you all the way through a grow cycle with little to no worries. A nice simple and low effort system, ask away if I can clear up any questions about the hempy system.

Stone, Man I have not had Perch in so long...Good job there.

And cutting down a real tree yeah that's awesome.

Perch is my favorite by far. Just egg wash, roll in flour with salt and pepper or a bit of Lawrys and pan fry in a bit of oil. Doesn't get any better than that.

There is something about trudging through a field of trees until that one perfect specimen catches your eye. Only thing that would be better is if we get a bit of snow before I go tree cutting.

 

[stoneslacker]

Getting close at day 57. Flushed them last night and will give plain water till harvest around day 65. Just a few canopy shots.

 

[SomeGuy]

Looks great stone. Nice haul you will have there. Imo scrog is the way to maximize small spaces. Cant wait to see it cut! You doing another cycle right away? Cant remember. Im perpetual but probably use more than you do. Lol

This thread really proves that point!

Things are looking great dude cant wait for harvest. 1 of my clones was showing roots today so I dropped her in a hempy cup. Cant wait to see growth rates. Also I was probably going to keep these clones as mothers and just take from them in the future so I was wondering. How big can a plant get in just a solo cup using the hempy method?

 

[ace720]

Hey now I see you.
Beautiful grow buddy

Thanks SG. I am definitely a scrogger. I tried the mainline and just really prefer the scrog method and results. As soon as they are ready to jar and start burping I will begin
to veg my next round.

I am still holding out hope for some kosher kush next round. My buddy had an issue with his cloner and he is going to take some more cuttings and try again.
The THC Bomb is a go from my other buddy so is possibly aPineapple Chunk from Barneys or a Super Crit from Dinafem. I might end up doing 2 T. Bombs and one Kosher. Scrogging for sure.

Thanks bro. They are getting close. You're going to love hempys. You can grow a decent sized plant in a solo hempy, but transplanting to a slightly larger container would be better. Like a coffee can or even a 32 or 44oz fountain drink cup.

Hey now I see you.
Beautiful grow buddy

Hey Ace thanks for stopping in bro. Things are going good over here mate hope all is going well for you.

 

[ADriftingGinger]

Thanks dude I might actually try that 44oz cup and see what happens for theses clones and just take cuts from them when Im ready to do my next grow .
I have a coffee can but it seems on the small side. What size would you recommend?

I've used the regular, large size, plastic folger's cans with great success.

 

[SomeGuy]

Me too stone! Love the foldgers...lol. I currently use 2l bottles and 1gl buckets.

 

[StevieStoner]

Looking quite amazing my friend! You noticing any difference in bud quality with that LED?

 

[ryzla101]

Hey stoneslacker awesome grow man i've been watching you'r grow for a while now as I got 2 blue hash at week 5 12/12. I am still relatively new to growing and thanks to your journal its helped me a lot along the way so thanks for that, much appreciated. Ive been looking at the bud development from week 5 onward in your pics but its hard to get a clear indication of how much they packed on, how much would you say the buds gained from then till now?
