I thought that was you Dooobster....but i looked at the pics and i thought the dooobster i know grows in hempy buckets....but thanks bro......you see the black haze i was talking about(the offer still stands).....they are going to put out some major bud using hempy mop buckets(maybe 8-10 lbs in this room/maybe another 10-12lb. in the other room because we just added another row of plants in drip rings using the lucas formula).........They just wont flower using the lucas formula....the other room using the AN sensi.....the plants are just blowing up!
The CH9 beans are going good....they dont stink at all.....only in the room they are in......not like the WS which stunk the whole house up!
But its nice to see you hear......im sure people will benefit from your knowledge.....how the grows going? the purple wreck? the WW should be done by now? right?

Hahaha yeah, that plant was the last soil one I grew before I started the hempy's. It ended up being male, but I had to keep a few pics of it because it blew the HELL up. hahaha
Hey bro, yeah I'm liking the looks of that black haze. ;) Your stuff is looking fookin marvelous! We need to talk! LOL
My PW & my WW are both in jars... Chopped 'em down 10 days or so ago.
I don't have anything growing right now. :) I'm just enjoying the fruits of this harvest.
It's good to be back in touch killa. Get at me bro!

Well its been another week all seems good.....The large plant is starting to smell like fresh carnations.....very weird but pleasent......The clones are all starting to preflower...they all look very good....the strains seem super easy to clone....thanks ch9 for building that into the strains also.....not much bud formation but its early.....Im really looking forward to this crop....everything seems dialed in the buds on the big plant are starting to bulk up with the bestie bloomz and cha ching ive been feeding them. Other than that i figure i got at least 40 days on the big plants...and im not even going to start counting on the clones till they get bigger....
Enjoy the pics:

Ditto!!! WOW!!!
You got me reading up on these hempy buckets. I'm gonna have to give this a try on my next grow. Seems like the hot ticket for a small grow space.
Thanks.

Thanks.
i personally had to look up info about these 'hempy buckets' you speak of.
i must be missing something or am just not getting it :/
a hempy bucket is just a regular bucket, but you drill a hole in the side about 2inches from the bottom for drainage?
lol i do this as a natural instict, no terminology for it. if i dont drill a few holes in the bottom for drainage, its on the side. big whoop!
-
CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
Hempy buckets have no drainage holes in the bottom; the hole in the side is only used to judge if the 2" reservoir at the bottom of the bucket is full. You add nutes until you get a little runoff out of the hole, then you know the res is full.
Some people like to call hempy's buckets "passive hydro", because they use a soilless medium (100% perlite, or a perlite/vermiculite mixture), they use hydro nutes instead of nutes for soil, you use hydro pH levels etc.
They are an awesome method, and generally will DOMINATE in a side-by-side grow with a soil plant. I stress the word dominate, because that's what happens. LOL

You got it........A sealed bucket......one hole on the side(anywhere from 1inch-2 inches from the bottom, depending on the size, but its no science...i dont even measure anymore)....cover the hole with some sort of mesh.....i personally use drywall tape.....
Medium:
use 100% perlite or 4 pts. perlite/ 1 pt vermiculite or coco and verm.....or turface.....or keep reading....ive even heard of someone using cat litter and perlite...i use 4 pts perlite/ 1 pt vermiculite....you can find them at home depot.....4 cu ft. bags both together cost $24
Nutes:
Use any type of nutes but run the ph at 5.8-6.0....i personally run fox farm hydro nutes.....but once again ive heard people run soil nutes, teas...you name it...its been run on hempy buckets...I personally start them around 600ppm/.5 conversion.....and get them to around 1300-1400 ppms.
Watering:
For the first few weeks probably around 3 wks.....water daily....then water every other day....
Thats about the best cliff notes i got for you.......Maybe Dooobster will chime in further......hes grown some dank in Hempy buckets
But is just a simple way of passive hydro....the medium acts as a wick....and the built in res. holds the water for a few hours...
Hope this helps....feel free to ask as many questions as you like guys....many of you helped me in the beginning......and i feel obliged to help!
-
CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
Thanks dooobster....i forgot about the runoff.....i usually get about 10-15 % runoff.....
And yes dooobster...i got the email....those will get out this week....i promise.....just a little busy preparing.....im sure youve seen the news for my area!
I agree they will dominate a side by side soil grow...plus you can fix problems almost instantly because the medium holds very little nutes, and you water every other day if not daily

Hahaha yeah killa.... I know what you've been goin thru brotha.

CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
Hey dude. I put my hempy plants into flower on Friday and they are quickly filling up my grow box. :D I can't believe how bushy they grew. I have to move a bunch of leaves out the way just to see the main stem. My temperatures have been cold lately (15C/59F) but they are still growing like banshees. When the weather warms up I think they will really start to grow pubes. :stoned:

The temps are still in the upper 90's here.....luckily the room i keep my grow in constantly stays at around 68F......but ill have to take a looksy after my blunt of haze which is just asking to be burned!
One more thing dooob.....how the pre baby days coming.....you almost prepared to have your life turned upside down! enjoy your time now!

This box is made from a 26x26x26 inch box from office depot..
4 light fixtures and some CFL's total cost = $18
But really i had everything but the box so the real cost was about $6

killa!!!!! Word up, my man? I guess you've been in the path of some of them there harricans? For some reason I had you pegged for the North Central part of the U.S.A. Glad to know you're from somewhere near my neck of the woods, my friend! Your plants look like they have a bit of a kick too! Those buds are looking sahweet! And, it looks like you are getting quite the setup these days - sticking with the hempy buckets though, I see; once you go hempy, you never go back.
Well, good luck with everything. I hope all is well with you and yours. Be good out there, and stay high and dry.

Hahaha exactly... Actually, I pollinated the very first preflowers that appeared on the WW with some pollen from the big bushy LST'd monster...
I found 5 beans in the buds, but only 2 were mature enough. Both of them sprouted though! wo0ot wo0ot :rastasmoke:
The pre-baby days are going well brotha... 2 1/2 weeks to go. :) We've got the baby's room all set up & ready, we've got a BUNCH of diapers and wipes and all that crapola stocked up, we're ready to go :)
I get a little nervous at times but otherwise we're holding up well. lmao
Get ready to see some pics! :D
Hey bro... Glad to see you've made it thru all these friggin hurricanes...

me and dooobster have been preaching about the hempy's for the past 6 months now....they are so easy to grow in....ive never thought of mold.....but i definely believe in 10-15% runnoff to prevent sitting water in the buckets.....the buckets seem to dry out in like 6-8 hour though.

Hey DE.Db33t - You should really give the hempys a try bro... I've never had, or heard of anyone else having mold problems at all in them.
They're really just like a soil grow, except you use hydro nutes & pH levels... I'm tellin ya... hempy really hit on something good with this method. If you do a side by side grow with a hempy & a soil pot, you will see... the hempy will dominate. :rastasmoke:
Try it man, and if you have any questions or need guidance, please don't hesitate to ask.
killa - YOU DA MAN! :pimp: Rock on mah brotha!

CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
Ooooo these hempys are so tempting, Definately doing a side by side grow. I'll post in my log my nutes and such be sure to check them over.
-
CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
im definately going to have to try this...there is no way im going to be able to use soil all winter and was thinking hydro of some sort... does it matter how big the container is for this method?
-
CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
In my opinion, it doesn't matter what size container you use... One thing to keep in mind is that its tricky to transplant when using all perlite or perlite/vermiculite mix...
It can be done, ya just have to be careful. Starting them in a small, tall container like a soft drink cup, letting them get a nice root system, and then transplanting into the container it will finish in would be what I suggest. :)

I agree.......ive used the 8oz and 16 oz cups and both work........i just cut the bottom half off and placed them in there new homes.....it waste less nutes plus they hit the res very fast....i had NO problems trasplanting the hempys.....but i will say the cups were very rootbound....very rootbound....so much i didnt even see perlite or vermiculite....just roots....
On another note.....i will say this run i didnt transplant at all and i had very similar results...and the size of the container really doesnt matter but really dont go above 3 or 5 gal .....personally i wouldnt use a 5 gal...but ive read people using them.....in my 11 lt. mop buckets.....the plants are about 6-7 ft tall right now.....you dont need that big of a buckets when going hempy!
I will also do a side by side very soon....i still have a bag of FF ocean forest just chillen in the garage collecting dust.
-
CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
The plant is getting fuller everyday......its smells like kinda pepper but gettin to smell like lemons in some areas.....close to the true top of the plant.....i figure another 28-35 days more or when the trichs completely turn 100% amber.....looking for that pure couchlock........The plant is exactly 59 Day from being a Dry Seed!!
Heres some pics....sorry my close up isnt that good.....only using a 3x zoom/10MP Sony...but hopefully you can see them!

Damn killa!! That thing is monstrous!! wo0ot!!
35 more days and that baby's gonna outgrow the house!
Lemon-scented huh? Sounds delicious :D
Yo bruddah, my girl when to the doctor today, and the baby has flipped around & is ready to make her grand entrance to the world... Doc said she could come any time now.
2 more weeks... The doctor says she doubts that the baby will even wait that long.
So, we shall see what happens.
Hey man... Thank you. You know what for :)
You have to let me return the favor.
Peace killa!

im glad the package got there......everything i really had extra of (full 10 packs except the green bud which i thought you might wanna grow).
Enjoy the peru seeds.... man the bud is off the chain.....seriously....we are gonna use it for multiple breeding projects in the future.....we found like three phenos but one straight smells like soap and is so covered in crystals.... its not even funny.......the c99xnl project is coming right along.....we should see seeds in like the thrid week of Oct....i dont know if we have it right but we will see on the next grow....
Man thats exciting about the baby...mine came about 3 weeks early but still was over 8 lbs. and 23 inch....but good luck...
And you should have the return addy now....if not ill email it to you.....bro anything you can spare....send it my way......if not....no worries bro.....honestly if it werent for your words i probably would have quit this hobby for real.....now look im up to my knees in grows....hopefully it will be a good christmas....

In the pics i got one plant other than the clones(LST'ed for 3 weeks straight every day about 4 shoots)........that is in the pics.....with some friends i have a few other rooms.....i have 12 plants of Black Haze flowering in one room(hempy buckets). 18 plants of Black Haze in flowering another room(5 gal drip rings).....I have a room now dedicated to test grows and breeding projects....With my peru seeds we just finished the i think F3's and the C99 x NL project but we are trying to isolate the c99 pheno.....we got a perfect Mother of the C99 but we need a father......we think we found one but we will see how the seeds turn out.....
Thanks dooobster, Dr.Spoof, and Shovelhandle for stopping by and showing interest!
i would love to share all the pics but the place where the other grows are is like and hour and a half from my house and i dont get down there that much....but when i do....ill snap like 60 pics to show off the setup....nothing special but works

I've been lurking this thread, not sure why I haven't commented but I've been impressed with the productivity of these Hempy buckets man! This is nuts!
You'd think plants this big would need way more room for roots, BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT!!
WELL DONE MAN!
-
CH9 Mixed Female CFL Hempy Grow
Well its been another week......we are kinda still dealing with a little strech but i think thats all gonna stop soon as i give them their first dose of FF bestie Bloomz(they will be getting a dose this afternoon)...ive noticed on my large plant as soon as i gave them a dose of the bestie bloomz the streching completely stopped and the plant started to bulk up!
The clones are getting large.....the buds are really starting to form and i would say its closer to the size of the buds on my larger plant at 3 weeks...
I took some pics of the clones in the box.....and pics of the 2 individual phenos growing right now!
