    400w hps...

    Under a smaller lamp I've found that I get more out of fewer plants that have vegged for awhile, than cramming in more plants. Once you get your strain dialed in, a sog with more plants can give more. My advice for a 400 run no more than 3 and give them at least LEAST 4 wks veg. You can't...

    My First Hempy Bucket Grow

    Sounds good Rusty, keep em' growin'. 1 comment on watering, try to get at least 20% run off, in most cases the static pressure in the bucket/cup before it releases will equal this %. But if it looks light,,,, pour a little more through. And the best way to check hempy water is by lifting.

    Crowded pot!!

    Anyone who has actually done this (like myself) will tell you what a pain in the ass this is, and you will still break roots, and the roots don't like light so you need to do this whole process fast and with a dozen plant its going to take a little while to get it all washed separated and back...

    My First Hempy Bucket Grow

    The sprouts you have in the mini hempys, need to get food now, there are no nutes in the perlite. Feed at 25% or less. Once you get 4 sets of leaves you can feed them like real plants.

    flowering/ light question

    If you want to flip your light cycle just do it in one shot, but lengthen the dark period to do it. I've found it better just to do that than stagger like you're talking about. Kinda like pulling off a bandage.

    My First Hempy Bucket Grow

    Sounds like you've had some minor trauma recently. I wish I'd seen your bending and stretching issue a couple of days ago, I would have had some recommendations. But it looks like your on the right track, and when growing we have to deal with the conditions we have at the time, and conditions...

    miracle gro?

    I'd go a little slower, start with every other watering and if no signs of nute burn then go to every watering, still no nute burn then bump up the amount you use slowly. It's better to under feed than to over feed.

    miracle gro?

    Yes you can use MG and it works great, but just like FG stated start at a reduced rate and increase slowly. I only use Scotts comercial ferts. I'm not going to pay $20/pint for a bottle with a big green leaf on it, it's just a waste of money. I've figured it out, my costs for base nutes, bloom...

    Pot vs Ground for autoflowers. +rep to all

    You are growing an autoflower. You're worried about weather in August, so you must be in a northern latitude, so right now your having 15 hrs of sun a day or more. With an auto you need 12/12, the sun can be the light, but dark is more important. So I'd grow in a pot to be able to move, or make...

    monster indoor plant growing

    Beautiful plant, I hope you have a clone or 2 of that girl. If you don't then cut several off now, you can still pull clones during early flower, but they may take a little longer to root. Save great genetics whenever possible.

    Seeds Vs. Clones

    NO! Seed are not the best way to get the best production out of a 16 site set-up. If you are looking to get the best production you can out of good sized set-up like you have then you'll need a good mother. And to get the best mother out of a set of seeds it will take some work. If you have a...

    Seedlings

    If you are going to be growing in soil then put them straight into soil. I'm not a fan of straight peat, if it dries out it will suck the moisture and life right out of your seedling.

    Ready to clone/trim???? How old must they be before cutting?

    Good info here... I've taken many clones from tops, they alway seem to make real strong healthy plants. But for the most part I take clones as I take the girls from the veg box to the flower. At this point I cut off the lower branches, and pull the clones from them. When you cut off snips for...

    Ready to clone/trim???? How old must they be before cutting?

    You can get clones off those girls, if you want. But if you have room to grow a 3' plant in flower then I'd top those and veg for a couple more wks. It will increase your yield. But if height is an issue then take clones and start your flower cycle. Yes a cfl will be fine for veg, especially...

    Cheap lighting

    If there is a farm or ranch supply store in your area, go buy a brooders lamp. It looks just like the clamp aluminum shop lights, but they are a little larger and has a ceramic socket that is rated for a 250w heat lamp, I picked up 4 at the local CO-OP at $13 each. Then put an 85w or 105w in it...

    My First Hempy Bucket Grow

    3 gal bucket is a good choice. I've tried several different sizes and IMO the 3 gal is as large as you want to go, I tried 5 gal once, but it just took too long for the roots to hit the rez. But I am experimenting now with the smallest size I've ever tried. Using 2 liter soda bottles, it's a...

    My First Hempy Bucket Grow

    Last 2 sets of seeds I cracked took 5 full days to sprout. So Rusty, what's your light for flower, and what size buckets are you going to use for your hempy's?
