White Poison - 2 liter Hempy SOG

man im really digging the uniformity of the canopy.
i have a hard time acheiving that unless i start a whole crop w/ seed all at once.

The WP clone in the pepsi hempy is going through the light poisoning process.

Half way into the flowering dark period I move it into the veg chamber for an hour, then move it back to the dark flower room for the rest of the night.

Keeping this up for the first 3 weeks of flowering will force the banana's to show up if wwxdp carries the trait.

Its having an odd side effect, the plant is a few inches shorter then the rest and branching out more.

The other clones are growing super fast and tall, with minimal branches. I think I can drop the veg period all together with these sativa heavy genetics.

On day 11 of flower, they are 24 inches tall:





If they get too much taller I might have to re-organize the room lol.

As you can see they are naturally growing into a lolly with very little branching.

so tall. you should have vegged under an mh.
Im subbed tho
keep up the good work

I was warned that they "Stretch" so what we are seeing is an expression of Genetics, not a lack of light.

haha jussst a little stretching but that's cool and convenient that they're naturally lollipopping themselves.
lets just hope they stop pretty soon this is definitely going to have an interesting finish

Well looky what we have here,

The magic is starting:

Your girls are all teenagers now! Keep em away from those nasty boys lmao

Yeah! Man everything looks awesome... I get some serious strech with with my sensi skunks... I just clean up the bottoms and the tops just turn into one giant bud... Its all good!

wow.. looking good man.. i loved the pic of them all together.. they all look almost exactly the same size.. and all nice and green too. =) keep up the good work! glad to see the magic happening.. now the fun part begins. =)

Cool grow man I just read over your hole post. I have heard of hempy buckets before but I have never really understood them. Somebody said its passive hydro. Well how? Isn't it really the same as soil just in perlite for better growth?

Active Hydroponic systems use timers and pumps to water the plants. But passive hydroponics is hand watered.

Growing in soil is closest to "Drain to Waste" passive hydroponics. That is where you water a soil-less media till its soaked and let it drain out of the bottom of the pot to be discarded. The problem with drain to waste is that you have to water frequently, as soil-less mixes dry out faster then dirt.

A hempy bucket has an internal reservoir to save that wasted nutrient rich water. Also thereby extending the periods between watering.

What makes anything Hydro is that your growing in a media besides soil. Stuff like clay pellets, rockwool, coco, water (bubbleponics), air (aeroponics), perlite, verm, fytocell, rice hulls, ect...

In this case iam growing in a Soil-less media of Perlite and Vermiculite contained in a passive hydroponic pot that features an internal reservoir. Simply, a Hempy Bucket.

Flowering day 16:

the light poisoned one isnt flowering like the rest and really looks like it has more lower branches then the others

Yea its a few inches shorter then the rest, it has more branching and its flowering slower.

If it produces any male banana's I will remove the pollen pods and save them. I will not be pollinating this indoor batch, instead I have a few clones of WP growing outdoors for seed production.

WP Clone for outdoor seed:

how do you judge on when to harvest the male pods, if u dont mind me asking.
im about to get into breeding and i like to ask the advice of people that have had obvious success in there technique.

Male bananas do not open up like regular pods, so you just watch them for development and pluck them when they look ripe. Id say it takes 2-3 weeks for them to be ready once you see some forming.

nice, thank you.

Flowering day 18:

looks nice.
i see you have the red stem thing going on.
i had a pheno awhile back that did the same thing from clone only.
it was driving me nuts, thought it was a ph problem for ever.
