    9/1/14 Transplant solo cup to a 2qt container of Happy frog cut with 30% perlite and amended with 1 tbsp of Osmocote Plus. Which is much more than enough food to veg in this size container to fully root bound, and will continue to feed the central root ball to near the end of flower. After...

    A Real K.I.S.S. Growing Method - Soilponics

    With your water I'm sure you won't need any cal/mag. And you're correct there is no air added to the rez. You don't need to plug in any accessories using a hempy. If the Canna nutes are too old, then go splurge and buy a $12 two pound jar of OC+ and get more relaxation time.8-)

    Yes I add the cal/mag because my water needs it. My tap TDS is around 400ppm but it has no cal in it.

    A Real K.I.S.S. Growing Method - Soilponics

    Hempys are near impossible to over water, due to the soilless medium, most hempys are either perlite or coco based, so they drain well and retain a lot of O2. Gal for gal hempys (and coco drain to waste) seem to produce more roots in the same area, and just the basic hydro action of having feed...

    A Real K.I.S.S. Growing Method - Soilponics

    Keep it Simple and Easy The system I describe is the simplest for me and my set-up and conditions; I have a 4x4 flower area with a small veg box. Your conditions may dictate going a different direction. Now a hempy bucket is a soiless, passive hydro growing system, but I’ve incorporated...

    Control Release Fertilizers (CRF) CRF’s are treated fertilizer prills that steadily release food over time, the time they last differs depending upon product. They also somehow release more food when the plant wants it, and generally when used growing cannabis they only last a little more than...

    A Real K.I.S.S. Growing Method - Soilponics

    I normally wouldn’t share something like this but it really works, and I’ve been doing it for over 3yrs now. It is the simplest and easiest growing style I know of. I am not saying you will grow the biggest baldest plants with this system, but you will be able to grow well above average plants...

    Hempy Pool

    The only way I saw something like this work was in tubs and the lids were cut for the containers (2 liter) The lid held them in place and kept the light and debris out of the rez. Still they were hand watered and the rez was completely used prior to watering again.

    In my experience With hermies, most of the seeds I found were right next to and below the split open bananas. But fans can pollute a whole room.

    hermied,need help!!

    Well if you were 9 for 9 females and haven't gotten a male yet from the bagseed, then most likely they were from hermy pollen, which means the strain is already predisposed to creating hermies. And will most likely keep making them. If total time since pollination is less than 3 wks then all...

    opinions? advice for improvement?

    That plant looks really good for a first cfl grow. You haven't overfed, burnt, or locked her out. As noted earlier, level out the canopy on the next grow, and upgrade light as you can. Any tube bulb is better than 23W clf, even T-8.
