    Insect invasion

    Not very tall but frosty enough for fun. The trichs are just starting to get milky. It seems like it's taking forever to mature. Could it be that the darkness activated security light is slowing it down? The plant is in light of some sort 24/7. The build is about 5 inches above the top and it's...

    Insect invasion

    The Neem oil worked. Here's a picture of the root mass after 10 days in the nutrient solution. It took nearly a week for the roots to acclimate to their new environment. After that, they exploded with new growth. Unfortunately, the poor thing spent too much time in the Dixie cup and it's already...

    Nirvana Mystery Seed

    Update on my Nirvana mystery seed outdoor grow. I planted it just outside my property line that borders a farm field. It's at the base of a cut off electric pole that's at the southeast corner of my property. It's on the south side of the pole, so it's been exposed to full sunlight but not...

    Nirvana Mystery Seed

    Yes I'm aware. One of them looks pretty healthy so I'm going to grow it out in a hempy style container. 2 of the mystery seedlings really leggy so when I transplant them, I'm going to bury the stem up to the first or second node and proceed under the assumption they're photoperiods. This will...

    Nirvana Mystery Seed

    A week ago I decided to put four of them in some dirt along with some sweet pepper seeds I saved out of a grocery store pepper. I'm using the bottom half of a gray pressed paper egg carton inside the top half of a styrofoam egg carton. Eight pepper seeds and four Nirvana mystery seeds. Six of...

    Good point! I didn't think about that. I'll stop worrying about how much I mixed in with the media now.

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

    There's one other soil amendment I forgot to mention. I'm planning to add some black step molasses a little further into flowering. Any recommendations?

    Nirvana Blue Mystic Fem Auto

    Since it's growing in such a tight space, I'm thinking some light defoliation might be in order. I've got a half dozen bud sites starting and some of them are in the middle and quite shaded. I've been moving the fan leaves around to let some light in, but I'm loosing the fight for light. I know...

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

    Thank you for the advice. My set up is a bit odd and I don't really have anywhere to clamp that. My grow is in the Lowe's 2.5 gal pail sitting on a plastic milk crate with a reflective auto windshield sunscreen sleeve around it. The light is a $20 Walmart gooseneck floor lamp and the shade fits...

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

    Well good people, I can tell you from first hand experience now that hempy buckets in general and this method in particular is a very good way to grow. I've effed up in 3 or 4 different ways and this Nirvana Blue Mystic Auto just keeps marching upwards. Tonight marks the second time it's grown...

    Nirvana Blue Mystic Fem Auto

    I had no luck germinating the bag seed a buddy gave me so I got off the wallet and sent some cash to Nirvana for good genetics. They were running one of their sales on Blue Mystic which I've read is supposed to be a low odor strain. My first attempt didn't germinate so I tried again not...

    No cartoons.....I like it! Maybe something like this then (keeping with the "ultra-low budget" theme). https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-correct-homemade-terpinator-resinator-formula.915401/

    Any suggestions on the amount or brands for the epsom salts (also on clearance at WalMart but the thought adding salt to a plant scares me) and flower/bloom nutes? My local indoor gardening store carries Snow Storm and I've read that Terpinator is good also.

    First Ever Grow

    I marked off 2 inches INSIDE the bucket last night and filled to the line with Hydroton. One quart of water just covered it perfectly! Simplicity is what I'm after. This way I can chase down problems one at a time. The CRFs are supposed to feed as the plant needs it, so overfeeding shouldn't be...

    That 8lb bag of Osmocote Plus was $9 and the 4.5lb Osmocote flower and veg 14-14-14 was $7 on clearance at my local WalMart. I also picked up a 1.5lb bag of Jobe's Organics Tomato & Vegetable 2-7-4 fertilizer for $2.50 but I don't know if it'll be of any use in the hempy. Thanks for the good luck.
