My First Hempy Bucket Grow

I watered the 3 Girls this morning with same feed as last time. I might work on upping the dose for next week.

2 Liter Clone in Flower is still working his way to the Res, so he's just Chillin .. This one along with the two clones in Mini Hempy Veg are still getting about 200 ppm (.5) using the formula on the GH Bottle. 2 Liter gets water daily, and Veg Clones every other day.

New Clones look good. I thought I was going to lose a few, but it no longer looks like I am going to lose any of them. Today is their one week mark, so I will start checking for roots in the next couple of days.

Clones in Veg are also still working on finding their way to the res, so not much going on here.

Nice update Rusty

Hey guys.
I have a question for you Rusty. The one you say may be a hermie, does it have female flowers ? It is hard to tell in the photo...

Yes, the pre-flower hairs are on higher nodes, but I did not take any pics of them, until the other guys on my Sick Plant post started crying that they could not see pistols, so I took picks for them to see I was not lying.

Here they are

I could not deny it any longer and Pulled the Gimp and Trashed her yesterday. Too bad, she was growing so well!! The other girls are not showing any signs of balls, but I continue to check and will check again this morning during their water time.

Well as mentioned in Previous Post, the GIMP is NO MORE.

Good news is that the other two ladies are still ball free and looking very nice.

Kept feed the same and will probably inch up on the next feeding

2.5ml PH UP | 5ml CalMag + | 6ml Floromicro | 12ml Florobloom

PH = 5.92
PPM = 960 (.5) EC - 1.9

We are now in our second week of 12/12

Looks like 2 Liter Clone in Flower has hit her res, so I will cut back from feeding daily to when the res dries up. Not sure how long that is just yet, so we will see. I will also start to Up her nute strength on the next watering. She is getting GH 3 Part Bottle instructions at this point, so I will be curious to see if CalMag is needed with their 3 Part mix. I will also be curious if she starts to flower at this point. So far she has not popped any pistils.

New Clones have started to sprout roots. We counted 5 or 6 with roots so far, which puts us right on schedule with the last batch of clones (8-9 days till roots)
20120806_074019.jpg

These two clones seem to have also just started getting into their res.. They are perking up and starting to come to life.
20120806_074032.jpg

Then there's Auto,, She has been in recovery for the last few days.. I flushed her, then fed her RO Water with CalMag at 200 PPM on the next watering, and Today with CalMag and 1/4 Strength Nutes at 400ppm. She seems to be coming back, so we should see her start to perk up,, and get to finishing up those buds.

It seems that every day is becoming water day around here, but I want to keep my updates on the plants I started this thread with, so I can finish it out with them.

The two girls continue to look good. The heat has been blazin this week and I think I am seeing some signs of it, in the form of Slightly Yellow Tips. This being the case, I brought the CalMag back just a little and kept everything else the same
2.5ml PH UP | 3.75ml CalMag | 6ml Micro | 12ml Bloom
PH = 6.0
PPM = 918 (.5)

I saw my first White Hairs on the 2 Liter in Flower today , so I guess she is off and running, and that's no Surprise, she has absolutely take off over the last few days. This means it took 11 Days since transplanting her into the 2 Liter bottle, and moving her directly into 12/12. Wonder what will happen next I also increased her nute strength today.. Instead of using the ratio on the bottle, I only went half their recommendation, and that basically doubled the PPM from last week.
2.5ml Micro | 2.5ml Grow | 2.5ml Bloom | 18 Drops PH UP
PH = 5.94
PPM = 429
20120808_073353.jpg20120808_073431.jpg

New Clones are continuing to show more roots every day. We are still waiting on 4 to show us a root, and we will have our 100% ratio. I am sure this will happen cause all 4 that we are waiting on look VERY healthy and standing straight up. I want to transplant all of them into their Hempy Cups in another week or so.
20120808_073520.jpg

Clones in Cups are doing fine. They too have a Slight bit of Yellow Tips on their new growth, but look GREAT otherwise. I am also concerned the heat is a factor in the Yellow Tips. They have been getting fed every other day with the same nute mix. Although with the Temps being up there, they seem to be drying out faster, so I am considering watering them daily. I am also considering going back to some vermiculite to help with this sort of thing.

And the Auto seems to be picking back up and doing her thing. She still has about 3 weeks to go, so I guess we will see what happens.

Hey Rusty, Too bad about the male. Besides the 16 I pulled the other day, I discovered 3 more from a new mom that is really a dad I guess. They were nice plants too. That only leaves me with my PPPlants. I have some other potential ladies I am training to be mums, but their babies are not big enough to prove themselves yet.

Your other ones are looking good !!

Man it was rough having to trash one plant, I could not imagine having to trash over 16 .. I got Feminized seeds to avoid this problem, so go figure, at least I have a ButtLoad of clones to back me up..

Working on Dehumidifying the room a little more somehow. I cant really use my Dehumidifier cause it just puts out more heat, and the air conditioner is not really bringing the humidity down enough. So this is my new task..

Keep us posted on progress!! We want to see a Come-Back
