Well this I CAN answer! I find germinating seeds in jiffy peat pellets is the best way to go. I tried in a coco/perlite hempy started in Solo cups, but I couldn't get them to take off the way I wanted. I did a bit more research and found people were using peat pellets to start, then putting them in the hempy buckets. This was a lesson learned the hard way for me. Good thing I have TONS of bag seed!thanks anyways dude! View attachment 2752220
also wondering peoples approach to germinating seeds in hempys, or a reference. I was thinking of just using soil but was wondering if there was anything important about taking clones of a certain "generation " or anything like that. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Ah man, so sorry ISK!! Do you have an idea what happened - over nute, not enough light, etc.?it has been 6 weeks since I chopped my auto-flower hempy......I haven't posted much about them because they are complete crap...extremely disappointing
I want to make hash and/or oil out of them, just not sure which technique I'll use.
Pics start with the top cola of "C".... weight: 130 grains (gun powder scales).....approx 8.4 grams
Snip off the mini buds and pull off most of the leaves
Stem = 17 grains
Leaf = 31 grains
Buds = 79 grains
total = 127 grains
Angels share = 3 grains
cleaned up the mini buds, remove more leaf and stem...re-weigh
Stems = 20 grain
Leaf = 33.5 grains
Buds = 70 grains
total = 123.5 grains
Angels share = 3.5 grains
so what started as 8.4 grams ended up at about 4.5 grams...which wouldn't be so bad if it was reasonable smoke, but it tastes like "home-grown" did in the 70's (lots of leaf taste)
Who is a lady. Im sure she gets it all the time though. I just rolled up some beautiful White Widow, this one is for him Who!Sorry to hear man. Not that I need an excuse to smoke, but here's to him bro....
piss poor genetics.....I knew they were not maturing proper right from the start....said all along they were way too light...the pics looked good but I knew they were crap...I should have threw in the towel months ago.Ah man, so sorry ISK!!

I was referring to the person she mentioned who has lymphoma (though I admit I thought Who was a guy!)..Who is a lady. Im sure she gets it all the time though. I just rolled up some beautiful White Widow, this one is for him Who!
Made some coffee in the french press today, Oh Sooooo good, sitting her toasted on a rainy day....
1 year ago today he was diagnosed withe Lymphoma...Just sitting here thinking about him
Lets all toke one today for him?
Never tried auto-flower. It's kinda a new concept to me so of course I don't trust it (LOL)!! Old timer and all....piss poor genetics.....I knew they were not maturing proper right from the start....said all along they were way too light...the pics looked good but I knew they were crap...I should have threw in the towel months ago.
It may be a long time before I ever try another auto-flower....and most certainly not an "Early Wonder Skunk"
Looks like maybe the Ruderalis gene was predominant in your pheno's.....it's the species that doesn't get you high but gives the cross the characteristics sought after for early flowering and insect/disease resistance.piss poor genetics.....I knew they were not maturing proper right from the start....said all along they were way too light...the pics looked good but I knew they were crap...I should have threw in the towel months ago.

Well, I think the lesson here is to avoid autos! I'll make a note to self, thanks guys!!I did six autos last year they came out the same exact way...pics looked decent but i knew it was crap as it grew, and that taste was that homegrown leafy taste, no potency just horrible mate... no autos since...
As I said, it is a new concept to me (they weren't around 10 years or so that I knew of). I am immediately suspicious because you can't control them. The "auto" part scares me off - what if I want to veg for a year (like you would with a mom!)?? But because I have not used them or really even heard of them I am no expert. I am sure someone out there has perfected how to use them and could put me to shame!!I've seen people with a ton of success on the net, but haven't myself or knew anyone who has... even if it looks good... the smoke has often been bad, worse than brick weed...if anybody even smokes that
Damn and DOUBLE DAMN!!!! You're absolutely killing it SS! Cant wait to see how she ends up! Keep it upSup Everyone! Day 42 of my Blackjack hempy, only a few more weeks to go!
