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

Nice flowers, Killa. :thumbsup:

thanks shovel.....always nice to see ya bro! hope you had a great turkey day!

hempy's aren't that difficult deleafer. just make sure you have a PPM meter and a pH meter!!!

i use a 50/50 mix. i'm not saying that that is the best mix, just what i've started with as of now. this is my first go-round with hempy's.

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.

I think you got it totally backward shake....the perlite retains water; the vermiculite works as the wick!

I think 50/50 is not a good mixture at all....i think it would be to dense and not allow proper air flow and oxygen....just my opinion! 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!

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

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!
