Mystery indica hempy buckets grow

iIIusion · #1 01-28-2008, 01:46 AM

had some seeds laying around, and decided i would try out the hempy buckets. my plan is to keep the pH 6.2 every watering, and hopefully not even think about these plants at all.

There's 6 indica seedlings, about 10 days old, all started in a mini 1 gallon bubbler bucket

I'm not even kidding, they already smell. i havent seen a plant have a disctinct marijuana scent so young (but then again IM young)

Anyways, built a little home for them, lined it with mylar, and stuck some flourescent powered goodness in it.
Only problem is without nice ventilation is currently 90 degrees. Oh well indicas like it hotter right?

Heres some pics

added a couple fans, still near 90 degrees in the cabinet, and its 10 degrees outside. I'm thinking thats a good thing or i would need some more fans

lined the buckets with reflective tape too.. now all i have to do is watch them grow

oh forget to mention that i got the idea for the cabinet from the flourescent lights on ceiling, couldn't bring the light fixture down, so i brought the plants up

got their watering of nutrients today, making it third watering since introduced to nutes

75ppm of calmag, and 225ppm of peters all purpose 20-20-20
making the water 500ppm from tap (started at 200ppm)

no sign of burns

these little things are taking higher ppm levels than my monster sativa in flowering (low-feeder strain)

heres a pic
... still growin'

Up to 700ppm, using 20-20-20, and cal-mag+
Thinking I'll flower in the next week or two, why not
These hempy buckets are certainly impressing me.. And its so damn easy!

Here are some snap shots, that last one is of the "Runt"

still 700 ppm, added superthrive this time in addition to peter's and cal-mag
also did some training

got my reflector, so i moved them from their nest down to a table until i flower them. figure i'll flower in 10 days.

do i need to wait until they show all show their sex before i can start 12/12?

Hey great grow. I'm watching closely. I'm curious to see how the hempy bucket works for you. Thanks for the posts and I look forward to your progress!
