On my first hempy grow now. Got a few grows with organic soil under my belt. So far the hempys are rockin'! Lovin' it. The hempys are so easy for a hydro noob like myself.
K2 and Japan have inspired me to go hempy as well. I'm trying peat cups of soil, then transferring into hempy. I have no clones to start so we'll be going seed to mama in hempy. Half will be osmocote and half will be with greenleaves grow juice and bloom juice. Wish me luck!
K2, your ladies are looking better every day.

Just tried my hand at some Hempies from seed with some old ICE seeds I had laying around. I started 6 in Rapid Rooters and 4 in Jiffy Pellets All but 4 had failed to germinate in a paper towel so I just put em all in the plugs and sure enough only those 4 ever sprouted. I ended up with a perfect combo of 2 in Rapid Rooters and 2 in Jiffy Pellets. They are now 21 days old and all looking amazing. i went from the plugs straight into wet perlite and didnt water for 3 days. They exploded quick and so far the perlite is holding them up great!
Cant wait to see how the Hempy moms work out for ya! I have 2 in soil that I will take clones from 1 more time then make 2 new hempy mommas. Was thinking of drilling the hole a little higher because I water my moms every day sometimes in soil. Every other max. Best of luck!

whats up again guys just another ? when starting out clones should i use smaller pots (like dixie cups with perlit) for my future moms that will be going in 5 gal buckets of perlite the moms i transplanted are doing great didnt water for 4 days (although my hydro tenancies told me to lol) and they werent even wilting at all going to continue hempy for the moms its great.

Dont know how familiar you are with excel but I made a spreadsheet to document everything. My main tab shows me every plant in 3 categories: flower, veg and moms. It shows how old each plant is in days, how long they have been in veg, flower, last fed, etc. A few pretty simple formulas let me set the whole thing up, let me know if you would like to know more. The reason I chose an excel spreadsheet is because you can password protect them and they are VERY hard to crack.Kolorblind, thanks for the encouragement! I'll try to figure out the journal system. That may improve my record keeping a bit.
Otherwise the free grow software offered here is pretty bad-ass, I just lost everything too many times and said fuck it Ill make my own solution
Peace

what do you do to germinate the seeds before putting them into the hempy system? how do you determine they're ready to be transplanted?

OK
After consulting with the boss.....err wife we have decided it to be a bit too risky to share the spreadsheet. Basically, it all came down to why take the risk when Im the only one that knows how to use it? I have it very fine tuned to my liking and it requires a bit of maintenance to keep going.
However, I will share the formula that made it all possible for me and explain how I have used it the best I can.
The spreadsheet has several tabs, one of them being a main or "HOME" tab as I call it. This tab never has any information input into it, but simply displays information you need to know such as what plants are in what stages and how long they have been alive, vegging and/or flowering.
Other tabs are as follows: Current Plants, Harvest, Feeding, DATA.
DATA is where I keep all my notes, some calculators and a few other random things. Feeding is where I simply input the date I last fed each plant. Harvest is where I copy & paste all my harvested plants to to keep a log containing: name, age, days vegged, days flowered, height & weight. It has by far been the most useful tab for following my progress and making improvements.
My "Current Plants" tab is where most of the info is input. I have a table for each grow section (Moms, Clones, Seedlings, Veg, Flower) and as I plant or transplant, I input data as needed (name, date planted/cloned, date of veg start, etc.)
No here is where the formula comes in. The formula itself it this: =IF(A1<>"",TODAY()-(A1)&" days","")
What this will do, is display the amount of days between the date in A1 and today. If there is nothing in A1, it displays nothing. Now that single formula is all I started with, and I had to tweak it for a few entried but for the most part it stayed the same. Now obviously A1 will be replaced with the cell you enter the date into, but this is really all you need to get started. Let me give you an example of exactly how i use a version of the formula:
On the "Current Plants" page in cell D4 is where the first day of flower is entered for the first plant in my list. On my HOME page right under "Days Flowering" for my first plant in my list is this formula: =IF('Current Plants'!D4<>"",TODAY()-('Current Plants'!D4)&" days","") This cell (today that is) displays the following: 50 Days
Now if i dont have a plant in that section on the "Current Plants" page, it will display nothing instead of "VALUE###"
I know it was a long and drawn out explanation, maybe Ill write a thread once I get it more fine tuned and explain it thoroughly, but I hope this has helped at least someone

Hi can you tell me which strains you grew to get 3-7 oz from?
Also can anyone tell me if this would give me the same results as a carbon air filter?

Im looking for something quiet that will keep the smell to a minimum in a roughly 8x10 room

not in a hempy. Hempys are a completely passive, drain to waste system.

JF is gone so he can't tell you.....the carbon filter ? is in the wrong forum, so asking in the right one will probably help you more.
good luck
