haha, nice names. what was the reason for using 100% perlite? just wondering as i'm going to start some hempys soon but aren't vermiculite and perlite just kind of rocks, i don't get how they absorb water and feed the roots???

just did a bit of research, you used it for its neutrality right and they have pores, cool.

I'm germing my ppp seeds now can't wait

Cookin, I read on another forum a thread from a dude named Hempy....Thus the "hempy" method. Some use 3-4 part p'lite to 1 part verm and some just use straight p'lite. I think the plant gets most of its nutrition and watering from the res, but I do feed the entire container. I dont think the p'lite really holds much hydration but rather serves as a medium for the roots to grow thru and grab a hold while heading to the res. This is the first time I have done this and I am having FANTASTIC results. My AK is definately a more vigorious growing plant and my PPP is stout and bushy. We'll see how it all turns out in the next 6 - 7 weeks. Keep looking

I will hopefully get all caught up and up to date tomorrow.

Great Thread! I'm going to be doing a hempy grow myself starting in a week or two! From what I have read, if you start them out in smaller pots e.g. 32oz cups and then transfer/bog to 1 or 2 g pots the beginning grow rate isn't so slow. But this is all hear say as I have never tried this method before. Subscribed!

Thanks for the comments BigMike...I'm not sure if that concept will work or not because when you go from small pot to bigger pot, you still have to wait for the roots to make it down to the new res. Even though it starts out a bit slow, believe me, it catches up and explodes in growth at the rapid rate. I think in the original "hempy thread" it said to start out in the pot you will finish with. As you can see, I used a pot from walmart. The original thread uses a 3 gal bucket with a 1/2" or 5/8" hole drilled two (2) inches from the bottom. Some even glue a screen on the inside of the hole.

Yes, but you can take advantage of the accelerated growth in the small container for a while b4 u bog to a bigger one. Not sure I'm explaining it right so you can understand what I mean. Check out the hempy collective thread started by azgrow. On about the 3rd page he shows pictures of what I'm talking about and gives a better explanation(foam cups inside of 1g buckets).

I'm with ya BigMike. Thats one of the cool things about hempy and anything different from mainstream growing. Lots of people have varied from the original version and updates posted by "Hempy" himself. We wouldnt be who we are if we didnt get stoned and try to reinvent the wheel. Stay tuned for another update very soon. I am just really really busy at work but its gonna slow down shortly. Thanks for subscribing. I'll already claiming my seat for your grow.

Definately made the right call there thanks to RIU. They continued under flouros until day 42. My PPP fem and her partner MRS!!! AK47!!! YES, Its a girl!! Did I get lucky or what? Mrs AK showed sex about a little over a month in veg.

The PPP is squat and bushy and the AK is lean and mean. I shoulda FIM'd the AK but I just let her go. I've got the verticle space in my cab. Today (day 42) is the day I moved them into my 400w HPS A/C controlled cab. Temps are about 78-80 and humidity is about 50%.

Other than the small deficiency early on, the grow has gone along very well. I am more than impressed with this hempy set up.

are both your plants female?

Boneman · #30 09-20-2008, 05:39 AM

Crazy-mental.....Thats a BIG 10-4. My PPP was a fem seed and my AK (only germ'd one seed) turned out to be female

I got lucky big time
