I agree with foliar feeding with small plants, during the beginnings of vegging and never during flowering ofcourse. I don't do it myself other than on my clones but in my indoor tent i like to keep it clean and smelling like it should so i keep feeding to systemic. I do know that plants love a good foliar feed as they uptake the nutrients directly, you can burn easily also, so another reason to be careful or stay clear.

Lost me

Day 10 Vegging, I'm not entirely happy with the health, something is not right. I think something to do with almost turning to bud under the small gro-lux tubes with a couple of days being darkness a little longer than they should of, only bevause of inspection and so forth, gotta do what i gotta do, should be ok though, and take off sooner or later, i'm still in front just her health needs to pick up or i won't be expecting quality like i have in the past. I need to make lush green new growth for her to even out and photosynthesize. Her original leaves are looking rather dismal by my standards.

Couple of pics of my outdoor also, going strong during it's first stages of early flowering. She may or may not re-veg during daylight savings, i have in the past have had plants half bud, re-veg and then finish by filling out some amazing thick branches with masses of bud shoots. either way should be a blast to watch.

Well I'm pretty sure they are hermies and I finally worked out how to do a macro shot....I even have a macro lens apparently

Here's the shot of what i think look like TESTICLES! FUCK.

And here's one of what was, until yesterday, two lovely flowering ladies....but are now known as shemales!

[/URL] [/IMG]

Shit just realised, sorry those pics are MASSIVE!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you will all confirm for me!

And Flowa, Your baby isn't looking too good at all, just doesn't quite look happy like the last one! Your outdoory is looking nice but your indoor is looking a tad sad Hope she bounces back quick for you bro!!

Edit- how the fuck do you get the pics to show up like yours Flowa?

Anyone know about la femme or dutch master reverse? Contemplating picking up a bottle before the flowers open and see if i can stop them seeding up....or am i fuckin dreaming and will have a shit load of seeds??

Yes indeed, correct all round , definitely hermies there damn looks like she'll be an even spread between seeds and bud.... damn.

Yeah my indoor is looking sad indeed, She most definitely did not like the transition to flower back to veg... I was thinking a couple of days wouldn't hurt but both plants were beginning to flower. Wish me luck bigtime. I just have to sustain her for another week of good growth and the new growth from then on will/should be lush. It could be my nutrients yet. Ph is fine, and she is drinking around 5 litres per day, well in addition to evaporation... It's hard to see from these pics, but the smaller new growth is actually fine, it's just the older stuff now i think she's back into growing as i've seen some small branches starting to shoot upwards now, so thats a massively good sign. She doesn't have to be 100% healthy at this stage as i' super early in grow time, and have ample time to catch up and have a mass of healthy leaves. after all everything you see on the plant now gets chopped off eventually anyway. It will be quite the unco grow and if all pulls through nearly anything is possible!

Lesson learnt on being more careful with the lighting times and i could of planted a little more early, but again i wasn't sure when the inspection was. I will make the best of the situation and shortly regain control. Will I??

Edit:
I've removed the ducting forcing evaped cooled air into the tent.... this could be hindering the climate.... to much moisture down low in the tent, not enough heat to push it up..... i am running an air cooled hood and battling warm spring coming onto summer days

my afternoon snack

I had to share this, as i peeled this open the funk reached the bedroom quickly and my mrs was soon at my feet sniffing to her delight lol! Some of these buds reached Maximum Flowa likings and some of the calyxs were nearly impossible to mull they were swollen and looked seed ridden but just full of sticky awsomeness.

Thanks mate, my worst fear confirmed im going to try spraying with la femme and see if it at least delays the seeding so i can have at least some decent smoke!

Ive got my fingers crossed for you too mate, im sure your girl will pick up soon enough and you'll have another monster on your hands good luck with the grow over summer too mate, hope you dont have to use the a/c too much to keep it cool!

edit- woah bro those nugs are almost white lol. They're some serious scissor breaking nugs

I wish I could grow pure hash!








Here is a WOG update:







Here is the sad cola:







Cheers,
Mo

Keep forgetting I took this shot for you!


Tripod with zoomed macro:










Cheers,
Mo

Mo that is just amazing hey! You have got one hell of a chopping job coming up lol. At least the outcome will be worth it though, i reckon you're looking at 3-4lb easy top job mate!

Mo that is Phenomenal! amazing just doesn't cut it

Here is my outdoor!! She may be flowering really early but she should re-veg in the next couple of weeks hopefully, if not just a small Jack Skunk plant, either way a few free buds



Here is my indoor girl! she is picking herself back up now, i actually came to the conclusion i had a mild case of root slime. I have no idea how, i clean everything very thoroughly, anyway i dosed her with Fungarid, flushed her completely again, and gave her fresh Base at 2ml each and some Dr. Repair @ 1ml. She has already perked up, i removed all dead growth and you can clearly see new growth/shoots that are healthy and now moving along nicely. Look closely on a couple of the Macros and you can easily see the early 'preflowers' where the calyx has swelled and created 2 white pistils, not 1. A goopd sign of a plant that has excess flowering hormones built up. I will burn them up with 24 hr light over the next few days to kick her back into flat out mode.

But for day 10 Veg can't complain really.... i'm miles in front, and she's spreading out like a sex goddess. It's more like i'm at day 20!! she's flying along.

Great to see her coming back to life bro, knew it wouldn't take long

Your outdoory will take off soon too, days only just starting to get long enough for consistent growth, theres still 3 and a bit moths of solid growing to do

Im heading out to pick up some budwise this arvo, apparently i may be able to save my shemales and get some half decent smoke from them i have everything crossed hey!!

Yeeeeah thanx man! A few more days and she will get alot more bushy. She may look bare now, but i'm really quite happy with her structure, very wide and has given me alot more branches to play with. Alot more room also. I think the tent is another 20cm on the old one barely noticeble by lens but inside the tent is a nice stretch. 600 seems to fill her great

Up to you bout budwize man I have heard of these female helpers.... Budwize.... tiny little bottle gotta mix it up and spray the buds, it's 'supposed' to make the hairs non viable for pollen.

Bit of a gimmick. Actually it is a gimmick, best save your money man i've seen people give that stuff a go, it's far from mother nature, and scientifically impossible. There is no way of going back from hermie unfortunately, we just scrap the seeds to save someone else the hassle..... Very VERY rarely can a hermie be worth keeping, yeah you can get a bit of smoke, but a plant growing seeds i putting 95% of its energy into doing just that. Save the Heartache and $ source a clone from someone close, or try again and sex a couple of small plants early on to see if they are genuine female, then re-veg and clone

Really quite simple, and no harder than actually planting a plant

Just stumbled upon this thread, and I am duly impressed. It was the term Hempy that caught my attention. I’ve been grown’ with the standard passive hempy buckets for the past doz or so grows. But I’ve never heard of an active hempy.

I’m sure you’ve fully explained this in another thread,,,, From the photos and text I assume you have a bucket in a bucket.
Is the lower bucket the rez also? Or is the rez separate?
Do you have the bottom 2” of the perlite bucket down into the rez? Or is that not necessary with the top feed ring?

Just trying to wrap my head around this. To me it seems to be a DWC cross bubbleponic with a friggin’ huge perlite net basket. Rep+

hey man im just trying to wrap my head around your system fully...thinkin about putting something like this together.....so what you have is pretty much an automated hempy bucket right?...the only difference is you use two buckets instead of one?....so does your outside and inside bucket always have a couple inches of water in them?...and that water uses gravity to drain every time the water cycle starts?

Hey flow! Outdoor is looking great! Indoor is lookin much better. Glad to hear and see. One thing I havnt seen in your grow is how you like your climate? Do you stick with the norm of 70ish temp (sorry I forgot you go by c, I think that you have said 22 in the past?), 50% humidity, or do you like different guidelines? Also thoughts on CO2? You know I like to ask a ton of questions! Thanks man!

Cheers bro, not to sure now what i'll do as its too late to put down any more in my system, its getting waaaay to hot where the tent is so keeping these are my only option. Ive got an outdoor option as well but that wont be good till next year and i need some before then. Im not expecting a miracle mate, just hoping if i do get the spray it may inhibit the pollen release and give me a little extra bud. I do remember the bud that i got the seeds from originally was pretty damn nice so its at least smokable! Still so gutted though hey but its my own fault!

Well mate i went out to the hydro shop and the guy gave me some la femme as he felt bad for my predicament, we'll see how it goes hey! He was pretty confident it should work, so heres hoping.

I also showed him your last grow too mate and he was just as amazed as i was at how perfect it looked. He's been growing for 28 years and said it was the best looking plant he'd ever seen, he was also very impressed that you are using old school genetics and said keep up the good work, he wants me to keep showing him your updates when i go in
