World Of Hempy

Ok I'm bored so I'll bore y'all with my pics. Lol. The only thing left I need is to purchase my 5X9 gorrila tent and botanicare 3X6 table(will have a slight angle to collect the runoff). Today I just painted and drill holes in majority of my 2l's today. Also I mix 75/25 of perlite and vermiculite in a 18 gallon bin. Pretty much I'm just prepping everything. Also is a pic of how I germinate my seeds. I'm waiting on my hortilab sour power regular beans. I will put them all in a glass of water and once they show roots they will be put in rapid rooters with some house of garden root excelurator mixed in with ph'ed water with 30 seconds on about 5hours off cycled timer spraying them. My botanicare 3X6 table should be able to fit 120 to 128 2l's. With 2x600 magnum xxl hoods covering a foot print off 3x6 should be no problem. Will Keep y'all posted

oh and don't mind the yellow plants to the far left. Those were dying super lemon haze and holy grail kush plants from coco that I neglected so I took cuttings from them

My bad. I uploaded the pics like I always do. Can anyone else not see the pics?

Looking good I really need to get my count up only runnin about 40 2L right now.

Really lookin' good sky rocket.. Nice BIG clones, they look like they are ready to go

Yeah I'm pretty much running one strain wich is Pineapple Express from g13 labs. All of my clones are 6-8". Once I plant 67 of them hopefully with in the next 7-14 days I gonna take about 50-60 more p.e. cuttings and put them in the cloner. My goal with my next strain is to put 120 clones in all at once.

Hey what's up fellas? They made a sub forum for Hempy? I hadn't logged on in awhile then I couldn't find this kick ass thread.

I started these 6 "Early Wonder Skunk" four in 2L pop bottles and two in buckets for my outdoor grow

.....but one bucket and one bottle were male, hence lots of space became available under the 600w HPS....so I would move the bucket into the sun when shinning.....but always move it back to finish up with the HPS.

So now the damn bucket is becoming difficult to move in & out of the shower stall, because she's so fat and is near 4 feet tall (including bucket).

So my dilemma.....should I just keep on squeezing them all into the HPS room....or leave the bucket outside knowing that the rate of growth may be impacted due to only 5 hours on sunshine. (still short days).

Also notice the new baby dirt dwellers.....these are for the girlfriend who wants to grow some plants....now most would say "way cool", but I say "shit, shit, shit".....odds are they will die before the end of May...as a pet rock would only have a 50/50 chance of surviving under her care and attention, but it will be my fault they died...anyhow, what's a guy to do but to give her what she wants.

Speaking of ugly dwarfed dirt dwellers....she's doing okay....a few more weeks i would guess.....won't be a big haul, but it will be my first plant grown in artificial light (CFL & HPS)

After reading my last update,,, not only did I mention the wrong strain but had the duration wrong ... So if any of you stoners are paying attention you might question going from d 33 to d46 in a wk between updates. Let me say "My Bad"

Here we go Day 46 Landscape view of the room


I've got 3 spear makers they are a Maui W X Purple Heroin the tall one is finishing much faster than the ones in the smart pots and it's not filling in like I would like, the smart pot plants are much shorter but are fillin' in much better, only time will tell how the smoke is the yield won't great for this breading experiment.




Here's the Maui Thunder I'd have to say that this X is my only winner so far. So after being able to smoke some well cured smoke, the flavor is a dark sour grapefruit, smoking a joint will make your mouth tingle and go numbish. This will be the 3rd finish and I'm sure she will break 4oz. (the other 2 were 5 & 6ea)





Due to the problems in the veg with the soil (thew that bag out) I had to start some seeds. 5 Kens Bay 11 and 3 Maui Thunder I have to have one to grow outside on the deck this summer. Here's how I start my seeds, it's a bit old fashioned but works every time. Wet seedling soil that's heated to 75 to 80, plant seed horizontal, moisten when needed. 5 day later...sprouts (pics next Wednesday)

I would be careful about moving plants in and out, period. ... Hopefully it'll never happen to you but its real easy to pick up a spidermite in this way.

Left outside the hypothetical spidermite has to take its chances with the weather and predators but if it hitches a ride indoors on your plant then it's like Nirvana to the little suckers. I did the same thing once and lost a crop.

That said, if you're prepared to take the risk I would finish them indoors but I'm biased.

Good point Moe, but it's funny how I never even considered bugs as a factor...mostly because I live half way up a high rise in the middle of a concrete jungle

......IMHO, the risk of getting infected with mites in my living room is not much higher than the bathroom 10 feet down the hallway.....as the door is open to allow air flow, so it's just as vulnerable.

my issue/concern is square feet available in the grow-room and the access, as that fat pig is getting hard to move in/out...and it's squeezing out the others for space.

So my dilemma is.... to leave it full time in the grow/bathroom or full time in the living room....as moving it back and forth is becoming problematic.

Sun King, I've been thinking the same thing Moe was (insects hitchhiking there way indoors) until you mentioned "high rise". There could be however a slight chance of stress when the the light spectrum changes between indoor/outdoor....causing "hemies". Plants sense light changes and their genetics react to "save the species". I was looking at my plants 6 weeks into flower the other day thinking "you need to turn these girls around and swap their positions" (that sounds like pRon I know)...but I knew they had grown accustomed to the angle of light they receive on a normal basis. I left them be as my tops are so lengthy that the thought of seeds forming made me paranoid. I've had hemies before...never saw the male flowers amongst all the foliage, only the dozen or so seeds that hid within each beautiful bud, later found when rolling it up. It could be caused by numerous things, keeping things consistent in flower seems to be the trick with Mary Jane from other growers experiences.
BTW..."C" is still my favorite in your stable.

Unless you have help at harvest time, why not split it to 60 harvested/planted every 4 weeks. That way you always have fresh stock

Hey guys just an update on my little 250w scrog. Day 28 of flower. The Blackjack is really a beast and will take as much food as I can give her. The Permafrost is not yellowing and is starting to green back up some. The Blueberry is yellow as fuck and her and the Perma are showing some tip burn. I just did my scheduled flush and will let them dry out completely about 4 days then feed them an aggressive bloom mix. I'll keep it a bit lighter for the perma and BB though.

If you dont have to navigate steps/etc, you could go with the $11.99 movers dolly from harbor freight with a board on top of it.. and it packs 3" hard rubber swivel casters too - would definitely save on the back if that's the issue re: problematic

I know people do this, and atm I kinda do too. ... but Im trying to get mine to run in 1 go just out of preference. My 3 reasons why.

1. Even canopy - It's just more light efficient in my setup (which is very tightly spaced) to have them ALL at the same height.

2. A single nute/additive mix for all my plants - No need for a mix for young plants AND another for finishing plants.

3. Reduce smell risk by having heavily budding plants for only the last 4 weeks out of 8. A split crop will give you heavily budding plants for 8 weeks out of 8.

It's really just down to specific needs/goals.

I put castors on everything. Very handy.

The kids in my neighbourhood even have them built into there sneakers and you can see them rolling down the street. LOL. Whatever next.

Yeah, am getting ready to do 3x3ft boards for each 600 so I can move as needed to make it easier and not cause further issues. Am working on the start of a new project, and in the next month-ish, you guys will actually be seeing grow pics of out of me. Lil' bit of paranoia has had me not posting any to this point, but the next round o' plants will definitely be up for viewing

Your Hempy scrog is truly a thing of beauty Stone. Keep it up bro!

I will have no help at harvest. Just me. I I think trimming 2l's would be less work than trimming monsters.

Thanks for both of y'all's input. I will try both, but #3 really sounds nice to only have bud smell for only a couple of weeks vs all the time.
