So I had some seeds burning a hole in my pocket and decided to do another Hempy Bucket grow. This will be my first time starting from seed with this method. I will be vegging in 44oz Styrofoam cups under 4 foot, 4 bulb, T5 fluorescents. When they are 12-14" I will bog transfer to 2 gallon buckets and put under 600w HPS lights.

I will be using filtered well water and Ionic grow, bloom and boost nutrients.


10/13, I germinated 25 seeds. 5 Northern Lights, 5 AK48, 5 Cheese, 5 Haze X Skunk and 5 White Rhino.
10/16, planted the 24 seeds that had sprouted. 1 White rhino didn't sprout.
10/18, 23 of the 24 planted seeds had broken the surface. 1 dried up and died. The two casualties so far are a White Rhino seed (no germ) and a Haze X Skunk seed (germ'd seed dried up after planting).

23 sprouted seedlings from 25 seeds, that works for me.

Pics are from day 11, 10/27.

nice clean set up!!

please try and repost your pics on top of each other...not side by side. makes for much easier viewing.

i will be watching and thinking of going hempy with my next set of clones.

Thanks. I'm sorry about the pics. I don't know how to change the view. I didn't select for them to upload side by side it just did it. When I try to edit them, it shows them all vertically in the edit window...?

Anyway, If you are going to do Hempy I definitely recommend starting from clone. The first few weeks from seed with Hempy has been torturous. Growth is very slow. I wish I would have put the seeds in rockwool cubes to root and then transferred to HB.

For me its the same. The first weeks have been super slow, but it now looks like the roots have made their way to the res and they are taking off. Mine are lowryders under 24/0 though, so my stretch that im used too has been reduced.

GL! I'll be keeping an eye on this one. I really wish i had the room you do to grow. My closet is so jam packed i can barely fit my hand in it when the plants go to bloom.

Yeah it's a good sized grow area, it's a 1 car heated garage adjacent to my house. Here are a couple more pics of the back half of the room. Do you have a journal started?

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. I suppose I could flatten out the mylar, but should I? I've always thought that wrinkly mylar helped reflect light better than flat mylar...am I incorrect?

The first few weeks are slow but you will reap the benefits once the tap root hits the reservoir full of a nice small mixture of nutes.

Here's my last grow AK47 and PPP in hempy journal

Thanks Bone. I'm usually a bit more patient, but this is the slowest growth I've ever experienced. It's putting me to the test. I've got some 1/4 strength Ionic nutes in the rez, so when the roots get there, I hope the girls drink up and enjoy...
