that's truly awesome. and how do i get a big green bird to come and visit me like that?! those are some amazing cuts. grape ape and banana OG are on my list. i'm sure a bunch of your other beans are. my head is still spinning.
i've got some stuff working too. no where near your level obviously.
the hempy's seem to love your formula. that's what i've been feeding them exclusively. can't wait to see the results.
there are a few breeding projects up my sleeve too.
you and vaped are awesome role models. keep up the AMAZING work my friend!
you already know that i am be! (good to see you around again too!)Quote:

Holy crap, the WW looks intense. And the trich coverage is almost unreal.
(psssst, lemme know if you'd like for me to run some 'testers' of anything. ;))
Begood and besafe buddy. :jointsmile:

nice numbers killa! and damn, a week made a HUGE difference! maybe i should be topping some of these ladies. thank i'll go home and due that now.
i've got a rubbermaid (18 gallon i think) that i've been using for a breeding box, but i think i will make it a little supplemental grow box and move the male else where. guess i'm gonna have to find some more space. my wife is gonna be pissed. lol.
i'll keep working on the WH and DBP.
the one DBP that i have in a hempy is outgrowing everything. it's a hoss. hope it's a girl, although i could use another male.
i've got some things working, albeit slowly. i can't wait to return the favor.

hey killa, have you seen any albinos come through? the reason that i ask is because one of the WH are starting to grow some super light yellow, almost white leaves. on a few they are the entire leaves, and on a couple it's just parts of the leaves. i'll get you some pics shortly.
-shake
When you get a chance Killa, if you don't mind, I would like to pick your brain a little about Hempys and specifics about them..such as Perlite to Vermiculite Ratios and if Verm. can be substituded with CoCo..along with Feedings...pretty much everything and anything you could teach would be helpful and appreciated...
Thanks before hand :hippy:
This grow is completely insane! How many plants you got there killa? Seems like 24h a day to take care of theses ladies is just enough!!!
:thumbsup:
lol....DTRave does it better as well as thousands if not millions.....i really appreciate the comment as always DT.....especially to a grower that i really admire!Quote:

So here we go!
22 Gal. Rubbermaid....the 2 purple plants will be harvested on weds....and the other PW plants have about 7-10 days left!

18 Gal. Rubbermaid Grow....The 4 plants will begin flushing on friday and probably will be flushed for 2-3 weeks.....The moondawgs are doing ok....one stretched and the other is staying squat....i could care less...these were the only cuts i had ready and they are only testers anyways

Tent....everything is looking good....i got a few wind burnt leafs from the fan on full blast.....but just fan leafs.....and i rather deal with the occational wind burnt leaf then mold so the fan stays on full blast pointed toward the plants....these are at 4 weeks now exactly but these will have to go an extra week because of the topping probably about 68-70 days!~

looking good killa....man i'm getting tired of saying that. lol. fo real though, good stuff my man.
also, check out my log if you get a chance. i've posted some more stuff. one of these plants has to have some sort of albinoism.
hope all is well. glad whoever took care of your plants did a good job.

Thanks Killa... Deff got some reading to do..plan on reading both completely through :thumbsup: hopefully i can finaly get good genetics and one day dial in grows like yours ...Hah just made that my new years resolution
Thanks Again man
Nice flowers, Killa. :thumbsup:
hempy's aren't that difficult deleafer. just make sure you have a PPM meter and a pH meter!!!Quote:

keep in mind that perlite acts like a wick and the vermiculite has a tendency to retain the water/nutes.
i use 1 gallon milk jugs that i've electrical-taped up. 1 gallon is supposed to be the sweet spot. i put a 1 1/2 inch hole (i think) about 1 3/4 inch up from the bottom. i don't know the exact measurements as i'm not at home. use a piece of screen or something so your medium doesn't wash out. some say they don't have problems, but i have.
there is my two cents.
as soon as i can i'll start a log documenting my hempy experiences.
-shake
Thanks Shake,
Hope you don't mind this Killa.. but Shake from what I have collected, you and I are close... I was planning on doing 2 inches from bottom with Killa's 4:1 ratio with the perlite... Currently no PPM meter but its on my christmas list along with some decent genetics either CH9 like Killa has mentioned or DNA Genetics (Hope i was good this year)... and I have several 1 gallon dressing containers from work that look like they will work fine... Hanna pH meter should be here this weekend i think..Have had bad luck with Light leaks and males so need to light proof before anything.. One question for you or Killa is in your opinion which works better coco or vermiculite considering they are both just about Neutral Mediums ? Also (sorry to ramble on) do you guys fill the container up to the hole with perlite before adding Both mixed together , or just fill the whole thing with the mix ?
Thanks again you guys
thanks shovel.....always nice to see ya bro! hope you had a great turkey day!Quote:

I also dont think a PPM is neccasary if you kinda know the your feeding them is not to high! PH pen is a must....i would even try hempy's without a ph pen.....no drops...PH PEn ONLY......you want to be in that 5.8-6.0 range to allow all the nutrients to be availible to the plant!
never tried coco....so i have no clue...there is a large hempy thread on IC which all different methods are used....i just stick with the origanal 4:1 mixture and all is good! Hope that helps deleaf.....and i just fill the whole container with the mixture....no layers here!Quote:

i'm not arguing with you killa. just something i came across. also, on that thread on IC with jrosek i think he says the same as i do. i know i've read it somewhere. perlite is added to aerate the soil and reduce compaction.
yeah, like i said, i have no ideas on mixtures. 50/50 was merely a starting point.Quote:

again, not trying to start anything. as you know you are one of the people i look up to around here!!!

Ok so I've decided to do a 3:1 on the (per/verm) mixture in 1 Gallon buckets as a test trial with bag seed till I get $$ for good genetics.
This way i can see which ratio i will run on next one.
No ppm but deff a better pH method (drops as of now :()
with most likely GH nutesand will try to find a way to get RO water
Thanks Killa and Shake for all the help when started will keep you guys updated :jointsmile:
Oh and Killa couldn't help but notice in one of your logs that this year was a good year for us in the lower regions with hurricanes :thumbsup:
Your probably right shake on the perlite and verm. as far as which one is for water retention and which one acts as the wick..... ive just gotten a few plants from my friends where the mixture is like 60/40, 50/50, or even 40/60 and they all dont seem to grow the same as the origanal 80/20 im used to!Quote:

As far as a PPM pen.....yes they are cheap.....yes i do think every grower that take this hobby at least a little bit serious should have one! But is it neccassary with Hempy Buckets.....I dont really think so! Ive gotten by 2 years without one.....got one.....figured out in one or two uses my nute mixtures were to high......figured out a better regime.....never used it again!
I dont think running a variety of strains has anything to do with it! As you see.....im running:
Purple Wreck
Purple Kushx Purple Rhino
Herijuana
WW
Bogglegum
Banana OG Kush
Moondawg
Which range from sensitive to massive heavy feeders.....But if your gonna be playing with your nute mixtures.....Its manditory that you have a PPM!
For people that want a easy nute mixture that really wont burn any plants.....then i would suggest running Lucas Formula with either GH or AN! Run a bloom Blooster in flower and you will never have a problem with a plant's nutes!
and shake, your talking to a person with no ego....please constructive disagreements will always be welcome in this thread....now and forever...im no master and i learn new things everyday from people like you and the rest of the forum! :thumbsup:
Peace
Killa
i hear you loud and clear brother! i'm the same way withe the constructive disagreements. we are always learning! that's part of the beauty and fun of what we do.Quote:

and i hear ya loud and clear on the PPM meter. i've been running your nute regimen and it seems to be working nicely. i'm trying to burn through this fox farm that i have left and move on to something else.
i appreciate all of the info and criticism and whatnot. i would never take offense to such things either. sometimes people interpret what is written in a way that it was never meant to be. it's hard to judge inflections and whatnot when reading text.
anyway, sorry for rambling. check out my hempy log, you know i need the help. the DBP is beast! i think it's male (it just started throwing preflowers) which is fine because it will be a good breeding dad. i've still got a few of those beans to run so i know i'll get a good female mom from them. thanks again!

Nice job again killa. Maybe one day you can grow outdoors with hempys??..that would be quite a yield....:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
swell buds! I bet she has flavor and dope as good as she looks too.
Sorry guys for disappearing for the last 2 weeks or so but the people that know me; know i disappear during harvest times!
Usually during these times im making sure i take my new cuts....plant replacement plants....harvesting, curing, making iso, making bubble.....but all is good! Ill update what everything looks like tomorrow but heres some bud porn from this latest pull the last 2 weeks...

absolutely beautiful harvest! I'm drooling with envy!
Like i promised yesterday! Here's an update!
Thanks for all the complements and views.....if you want to be included in my christmas giveway....here's the guidelines:
-you needed to have a documented grow here on cannabis.com.
-have posted in my log, or a thread that someone is growing my seeds!
-have shown interest in the past!
I will be choosing 5 people for christmas on friday! Please post "Purple" to be considered! Good Luck!
Everything is just moving....i think i got about 3-4 weeks left in the tent.....everything looks great....Im gonna add a humidifier here in the next week to try to combat mold situations i found during my last run in the tent.....it was the first time not pointing the fan directly on the plants...i was getting wind burnt leafs but i rather have that then mold!.....i think pointing the fan right on the plants again will solve the last grows problems but i can never be to safe now! Look for the large purple tree in the back right corner....trust me...she is bigger in person....That is my bulk cut!

What's going on Killa! Been AWHILE since I've been around these boards! See your doing well in here! Ha, well just wanted to let ya know, I still have your PKxPR going and they are doing wonderfully! I haven't been able to keep the log up to date because of personal problems, but I'm back and will be doing that asap. Also, considering doing some hempys! Your grow and others around seem to drove me in!
Anyways, just stopping in to see how things were going! Enjoy the goods just before the holidays!
