Harry, no I meant the final flush of the substrate. I was wondering if you actually flushed (3 gal water to 1 gallon of container), or just ran plain Ph balanced water for the final week of their lives.
yes I do, but with molasses involved. and my buds come out STINKY AS FUCK. maybe I lose yield by not fertilizing for that last week, but for the taste and smell I end up with, I'm way more than satisfied

Harry, you grow this way? I think this is the way that I would like to grow for my first official grow under an HPS. Could you guide me through my journey?

Hmmm, my supermarket sells some nice "organic" black strap. What ratio of sugar to water do you use?

It's a sugar additive. Sugars are converted into terpenes which is what provide the odor and flavor in your smoke.

so the flavor and odor of the bud would be comparable to molasses?

lol, no, it merely enhances what smells/tastes your buds already have.

do you think the yield would have been higher with 20on/4off? i imagine it would make a huge difference. and although it would be more expensive per day the yield would be perportional to the greater number of hours per day. as the lie cycle is ruffly pre determined. if that makes sense.

Yah, I was wondering about that myself. I'm pretty sure a longer light cycle would give me a little more yield at the end. But the purpose of this grow was to get the cabinet dialed in for when I started with the bigger plants. To do this I needed a 12/12 cycle to get an idea of ambient temps, smell, indoor temps and humidity, feeding schedules, etc. My thought was just emulate the bigger grow and see what the results are. I figured if the plants turned out well, then other plants would most likely follow suit given some minor differences.
Anyways, I clipped a small tester bud that wasn't really getting much light and would have ended up in the hash pile anyways. Did that last night so it's been hang drying for a day now, drying nice and slow which is nice. Looks like the calyx's are finally all starting to swell. I'll be really happy to hopefully get some non wispy buds. All of my soil grows ended up with major problems that I really think held back the full potential of my plants. Sure, it was definitely good (especially that cherry slyder). But my yields were pathetic and the buds were just pretty to look at. Soon as you touched them it would crumble, even a remoistening did no good. The calyxs just never swelled and were mega tiny.
This marks the first grow I've EVER had with NO major problems. It's an awesome feeling! Something I've been searching for for a long time, and now that I've achieved that goal I can start focusing on others. I'm truly excited to smoke these buds, if they're as good as I think they are I'm never leaving hempy nor flora nova again lol.

Well I spent some time with my ladies tonight so I might as well post a few pictures of them. So I'll show case the largest cola I have growing. It's about a foot long and coke can size in diameter. Definitely really happy with this girl, The next are pics taken through my 10x jeweler's loupe. The first two microscrope pics are the big cola and the next two are from the frostiest plant I have. Finally, some plants have been purpling (most likely due to really low daytime temps lately), so they're looking prettier and prettier any day.

Very nice Coda, I'm loving the pics. I like what I see with those Hempy Buckets.

Actually, I did today. Hung dry it for two days, then just finished it off in my dehydrator. Despite the quick dry the smoke was very smooth with a tiny amount of bite. Flavor wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything to write home about (though I didn't expect it to be). However, for being two weeks immature, it knocked me on my ass. I smoked the bowl around 3 and I'm still pretty high right now almost 4 hours later. Definite improvement from the last tester I clipped.
I'm cutting off the flowering nutes, plants are only getting Ph balanced water with some molasses. Just picked up a bottle of the molasses tonight, probably start feeding them tomorrow with it. I'm looking forward to giving them a proper dry and cure. The tester was a nice taste, hopefully another two weeks will be all they need.

Damn man, great job.
I am gonna have to break down and try out some of the autoflowering plants. Those results look amazing. I imagined the high would suck and because of the ruderalis genes that the buds would turn out whispy and brittle.
Damn was I wrong.
Im looking forward to the final weight man.
Peace and I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Oh yeah, did you get the seeds from doc chronic, attitude, or where?
If thats already been answered man just ignore it.
Peace

I would suggest giving them a couple more days of feedings. I only flush mine for about 4-5 days and they taste amazing, plus I notice a significant gain in density in the last 2 weeks which I attribute partially to them still being fed.
Hempy is still hyro so you don't need to treat it quite like soil
