Frizzleman's First Hempy Bucket [Two 400W Air Cooled]

#446430 - 07/14/10 08:15 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Well ladies and gentlemen the last grow attempted was not very motivational.... I scrapped the whole thing so I could start anew with a nice clean hempy grow. To tell the truth this will be my last attempt in such a small space to grow a decent amount of my favorite plant unless I achieve my goal.

After doing quite a bit of research into Hempy Buckets I found that I wanted to give it a shot. Especially seeing some of my supporters have amazing results. So I took the best plant from my previous grow (before throwing it away) and I built a cloner. I have a total of 5 plants growing and I hope to take at least 5 ounces away from this grow. I will post all updates on the first page of this thread. Please feel free to ask questions and give feedback..........

The Frizz is back

1) Ok so here are my babies that were planted last Saturday the 10th. I am using the 3 part tiger farms nutes fox farms, grow big, and big bloom and plan to use some additives during flowering.

5.8 - 5.9 PH
800 PPM
Temperature 80F
Light Cycle 18 and 6
Week 1

Week 2

5.8 - 5.9 PH
800 PPM
Temperature 82F
Light Cycle 18 and 6
Week 2

Growth seems to be going pretty well so far. I noticed a little bit more stretch than I wanted so I lowered the light a bit and I pruned the tops of the plants so they get a bit more bushy. Also as you can see I added one more clone that I thought would be worth adding. So there is a total of 6 plants now.

Week 3
850 PPM
Temperature 85F
Light Cycle 18 and 6

Just entering week three now and notice that the plants are not growing nearly as fast as they do in the Aeroponics system that I had. I am not to worried about it though since I dont think they will become root bound in here like they did in the aero. Flowering starts on Sunday so wish me luck fellas.

Week 4 Week 1 Flower
950 PPM
Temperature 80F
Light Cycle 12 and 12

Hey Guys just entered my first week of flowering. So far I have to say I am infinitely more impresses with the Hempy system than the Aeroponic system. There is much less to worry about/maintain and the plants seem 100 times healthier. I just hope these things will be reflected in the final yield.

Week 5 Week 2 Flower (Day 11)
950 PPM
Temperature 80F
Light Cycle 12 and 12

Well guys its time for my weekly update. As usual its getting harder to take full crop pictures since my babies are getting so big. They are really drinking a LOT of water. I am going to have to start watering them every day and buy more nutes. Hopefully all this eating means that my babies are happy and are going to make me happy when they are finished.

Well for some reason it wont let me edit my first post. Says a moderator edited it and it wont let me make a change. Pretty annoying....

Week 6 Week 3 Flower (Day 18)
1000 PPM
Temperature 85F
Light Cycle 12 and 12

Hey Guys I took a lot of pictures this time around so you can see what im talking about with the flowering going slower than usual. Other than that the plants seem to be really healthy. Again I added another 400W light so that brings the total up to 800W. Please feel free to comment.

Week 7 Week 4 Flower (Day 26)
1050 PPM
Temperature 80F
Light Cycle 12 and 12

Hey Guys here is my weekly update. It seems that if I listen to a few people that I have been talking to and really only started to count it as flowering day one when I saw some white hairs then im really only at flowering week 2 and in good shape. Otherwise I have no idea why my babies are flowering so slowly. They are showing some buds now so I am going to just let them keep on growing. Just a strange phenotype I guess....will probably be 2 weeks longer than I expected to harvest, no biggie. I know the pictures are not that great, that is what happens when you have a 2 mp camera....dont worry though im buying a cam this week so from now on it should be really good quality.

Hey Everybody, this is not my weekly update though I wanted to show you some higher definition pictures of my babies. Basically I want to know why they are flowering so slowly???? its been 4 weeks now. Should I just relax?

Week 8 Week 5 Flower (Day 32)
1050 PPM
Temperature 90F
Light Cycle 12 and 12

Hey guys here is my official weekly update with the new camera. Please note that finally the flowering seems to be in full swing.....whew! I feel much better now. These ladies are going to be nice and fat. Please leave some comments!

Hey everybody how is everything? I waited another week to post my update so I could have a more significant difference in growth. The plants are definitely in full flower now as you can see by the below pictures. Since the plants did not really go into full flower for the first 2-3 weeks I would say that I still have 2-3 weeks to go until harvest. Please note that there is very little tric production which tells me that they still have some fattining to go. Please let me know if I am assuming correctly. Also I went to half strength formula due to some burning and my babies seem to like it MUCH better.

Week 10 Week 7 Flower (Day 46)
Flower Day 25-32 since flowering appeared to begin
600 PPM
Temperature 80F
Light Cycle 12 and 12
