I tried a 100% perlite hempy before and you get alot more roots in the bottom of the pot. Usually I mix my perlite with vermiculite or you can use coco. When you do that you have a larger root zone that the roots will grow in.

I have been playing with the HydroBuddy nutrient calculator and came up with a mix using Masterblend which has similar elemental results to Lucas Formula. The normal ratio they recommend is 2.4g of Masterblend with 2.4g of Calcium Nitrate and 1.2g of Magnesium Sulfate per gallon of water. But...

Ive been running Hempy buckets with Lucas Formula nutes for 12 years now and in all that time I never had a problem. But I am about to do a side by side experiment using the Masterblend 3 part nutrients. I will grow a couple clones using only Masterblend right next to my Lucas Formula...

I defoliate in a SOG grow. So I dont grow plants that are too big. In fact its the opposite. I take clones that are fully rooted and I flower them directly into 12 /12

Defoliation is a Canopy Management Technique. So is Scrogging, like what you have done with the screen. Both methods are trying to achieve the same goal.

Not if they are blocking light to a lower budsite, no. Because if you dont get light to the lower budsite then it will turn into popcorn buds that are wispy and not dense. And when you remove the fan leaves light is able to get to the budsites and make them bigger. Are you trying to grow...

Your Argument isnt valid, because the purpose of Defoliating is NOT to grow bigger main buds. That is not where you make up extra yield. When you Defoliate you allow light to reach the lower bud sites and it fills in the canopy better. The smaller buds become larger and add to your overall...

I like Hempy for a grow in a Tight Space. Because your grow system is only as tall as your bucket. Adding drip irrigation makes you fully automated.

Ask yourself how do you really know for sure if he even was in jail in the first place. Maybe he lied to you and said that the cops got him but in reality he just took the pound for himself. I bet he told his "boy" to lie to you and say that he was in jail. You just got played son.

Hi bc024, I do 25 two liters in a 4 x 4 space under a 600 watt. I could use 25 one gallon pots instead and get more yield in the same space. Or its possible to pack the two liters in close together. Like 7 rows of 7 about 49 two liters. As long as you defoliate them of the fans the canopy...

Overmixing is what makes the hash green. What happens is the plant matter gets broken into tiny pieces and contaminates the hash. What you want to do is mix for less then 10 mins each batch. And do multiple runs with the same material. You can get an equal yield from the 1st and 2nd run...

An organic premix has no soil in it. Its a mix of different kind of organic amendments with no media at all. Think of it as a concentrate. An organic premix is a time released organic fertilizer blend that you mix into your soil. Its food for the plants that you put into the soil. And...

What you need is an organic premix you can blend in with your native soil. These feed from seedling stage all the way through summer and when the plants start to flower you come along with a bloom booster and top dress the soil around the plants. A simple example of an organic premix that...

Usually I dig my holes two weeks ahead of time to fool the animals and allow time for my organic premix to "cook". When I come back to plant I find that alot of the holes have been dug up from animals trying to find the source of the smell. They stop digging the holes up after a couple weeks...

It will help it because too many fans blocking budsites lowers yield.

Better, I can see a change in the canopy and light is getting deeper into it.

Id remove all the large fans that have their own stem. That is my criteria for the first stripping.

I missed the note about the t-shirt covering it to block the light. The only other possible thing to do is add a way to regulate the temp. I like to keep my bubble cloner around 72 degree. If its too cold it will slow down rooting, and if its too warm funky stuff has a better chance to...

I always use the native soil and amend it with an organic premix. The soil at my grow location is good enough so I add to it organic fertilizer. I dig up 5 gallons of soil for a hole and mix it on a tarp with about 4 cups of my organic premix. Then put it back in the hole. This adds time...
