Killa's Back Bigger and Better...Oh Yeah and Purple!

Killa ~ Could I talk you into outlining your germination/seedling process for a Hempy Bucket grow?

I saw in one of your logs that it appeared you put sprouts into Jiffy Cubes. Did you rinse off the soil before putting the seedlings into a hempy bucket or just place the whole cube in?

I'm getting my new grow ready to go and will be using Hempy Buckets. With all your experience in this area, I was kinda hoping you would stop by my new grow log and help keep me on the right path.

On another note, my third grow will have to have something purple growing in it. Those babes just look rightious.:thumbsup:

Thanks,

i buy the best paper towels at the supermarket...maybe $2 a roll and usually the ones that are select a size...but the good stuff

i take one sheet...soak it in tap water....ring it out...place seed in the paper towel..give it a few sprays with tap water place it in the bag...i rig my bag beside my cable box vertically...using DVD's

Usually they crack within 48 actually im 100% for the year...and only lost 2 seed in the past 2 years..

once cracked....i soak the jiffy pellets in 1/2 strength of my week one formula ph @ 7....just because in 3 days this will drop to a hydro level of 5.8-6.0 even using 7 ph water.

i place them just below the surface and cover the top of the seed with peat...everytime they are above ground in a day....always...once the roots are showing i gently rip off the screen and transplant into the hempy bucket of choice....but the whole pellet goes in the hempy bucket just without the screen.....the screen will seriously stunt the growth of the plant and usually creates whats call circling roots..

Hope this helps.

It does, indeed, Killa.

Well somewhere i forgot a week....I threw these into flower on March 12...I am lowering the nutes almost every feeding next week the plants will only get big bloom the last 2 weeks phed water only....enjoy the pics



The shot of the 3 plants and the 3 seedlings are the breeding box and what up next....thanks to Dooobster we have Purple Wreck.....I will pollenate 3 more purple kush x purple rhino for more beans and run the PW with them...Oh yeah check out the PW baby mutant leaf! lol

Once again thanks for all the complement and i hope you get to enjoy this!

Heres the rest of the shots.....And one more note....the hempys im gonna transplant are in the cups and the ones in there final homes are in plastic!

Thanks for viewing!

Loookin' hella great killa. :greenthumb: I'm curious to how you water...through the top of the containers and let it run through? Do you get rid of the runoff or let the plants soak it up? Also, how much water vs. the size of the hempy container? I'm using soil for now, but I'm leaning towards cutting my females up and putting all their clones in 1 liter perlite/vermi bottles and doing a sog. :jointsmile:

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just wanting to get my mind dialed in so I might muster up the confidence to do it.

Hey BeFree....I water through the top of the containers....I water till i get about 10% runoff...the runoff i usually leave in the saucers till the next watering then i dispose of the left over which sometimes is none...as for the amout....i have no clue except i water till i see water coming out the hole....full strength nutes every watering.....watering for the first 3 week daily, then every other day...

Wow, sure is simple as to what I thought was in store for me. =) I also really appreciate the super quick response. When I get the containers, nutes, and Ph/tds pen I'll come by and thank you again for the useful information amongst your logs.

beSafe and keep us updated on anything you have going on. :jointsmile:

Just the info I was looking for, as well. Thanks Killa.:thumbsup:
