I have seen a few people mix perlite and MG with good results. I think the mix makes the MG less strong on the nuts especially if you are going to plant seeds (I am not, using a peat plug for the seedlings). I am going to do a mix of say 70-30 MG to perlite and I will use my vermiculite for...

Not use it at all? Should I just go with a 50-50 or 60-40 MG and Perlite? I can use the vermiculite on my hempy bucket so it will not goto waste. I just want an optimal mixture since I got all the stuff. Thanks for the quick reply.

i am currently germinating 4 seeds (2 power skunk and 2 AK48 ) which I plan on growing in a mix ox MG potting soil, MG perlite and vericulite. I am going to do a mix of 4-2-1 in hopes that this mix will not nut burn the plants. After germination however, I am going to pu them in peat plugs which...

I have ak48 in miracle grow perlite for 5 days. They are each under 2x27watt, 2800 total lumen per plant CFL's. I water using poland spring water daily only a few teaspoons although yesterday I flushed. Two big issues I am seeing: 1. They are bending 90 degrees, like laying on their side...

Hey gang, Seeds hit perlite 5 days ago and I have one set of leaves. They are each growing under 2 27w CFL 2800 lumens each. Temp are between 74 and 76 degrees, humidity is low. I have watered them daily just a few tablespoons and once did a flush (yesterday). Although they seem stronger...

Just started my Hempy grow in a foam cup, one Day 6 and just watering them lightly to keep the roots wet as I am sure the roots have not reached the rez. I just would like to know what should be my watering cycle on them in the beginning. I prefilled the cup with water and filled the rez...

Hey Hempy vets, I am on Day 5 on my grow and I am watering them very gingerly since I am using Miracle Grow perlite (100% perlite, no mix, Poland Spring water). I am at 76.1 F and they were implanted into presoaked (meaning rez was full of water) foam cup. When / what should my watering cycle...

Woke up today to see what the girls have been doing. I can see that they are working their way out of the perlite and towards the light!! I have them on 24/0 since I only have 2800 lumens per plant. I have them each about 2 tablespoons of water (Poland Spring, room temperature). 12 hours...

Hey gang, Started my Hempy grow using CFL and Miracle Grow perlite. I have to thank AZGrow and all of the other cats on The Hempy Collective for all of the tutorials and comments. Why Hempy, simple. It is simple (and cheap). Here is my current setup, which will grow over time: AK48 (Thelma...

I was thinking would this be a problem since it is not the 'correct' color (2700K vs 6500K). I was going to start with a CFL's then move to this for flowering (only doing two plants now, they are germinating now. rippey

i have been reading alot about using CFL's for growing and how cheap(er) it is to use CFL's but you need more (and closer) to the plant to use those lumens. If the assumption is that more lumens is better for growing and you want to stay cheap, you want to get bulbs where you get the most...

i will be growing AK48 and G13 Power Skunk going on. THe whole grow will not be in the rubbermaid though. I will veg in there maybe until they are 6-8 inches then I would move them into a Homebox S or something where I will have some more space. Once there, I am thinking 250MH to finish veg...

About to goto Walmart to get some CFL's. I see a six pack of 26watt with 6500K temp and each cranks out 1800 lumens for $20. I am going to grow them in a rubbermaid tub lined in mylar. Is this enuf for 4 plants? I want to have two tubs running and take the best of the eight for flowering...

You can get them at some Home Depot's. I went to two of them and one of them had them. Rippey

I am thinking that is what I may do, put the screen up about 2.5 - 3' up and hopefully they will not burn. I wonder if I flower at 8in will I still get a nice yield from the girls. Maybe I will experiment and start flower on 1/2 of them at 8" and the others at 12' and see the yields. rippey

the thing about having six in there is how tall they are going to get in that setting. i am going to have 6.5 sq feet and I will have six girls in there but I may have to flower at 8 inches since they seem to double/triple in height when flowering. If you know what you are going, 3-4 will be...

in that space 6-8 plants. In theory u want one plant per sqaure foot. Your height may be an issue. Thinking of a SOG setup?

I am on the fence between a 250w mh/hps and 400w. The price difference is not much but I am more concerned about my space where they will grow (Homebox S) which is not really too big. Anyone here using a Homebox S or something close to its dimensions (2.6' x 2.6' x 3.9')? I was thinking about...

you can use the 150HPS for veg and but a bigger one for flowering. I am actually going to do this. I was calculating and it makes more sense to go with a 150w hps although the color is not perfect than go with 150w CFL since it will be alot less lumens (something like 16000 vs 8400). By...
