Perfect! gonna start takin it lighter on the nutes. My holes are 2 inches up, but I have 2 600w hps in a 4x4 room, with a 454cfm exhausting constantly and a fan blowing on all the girls. Plus I am down in the dirty too, in america's wang/ retirement center and outside temps have been pushin 90 already so my a/c runs a lot drying out everything even more. thanks for the good answers n nice thread. keep up the good work
edit: I posted pics in a journal so check it out when you can, just gettin started with it. I chose my size buckets after watching yours n how you are goin to multiple in a 3 gallon. last run I vegged for 5 weeks flowered with 1 600 and had to cut early cause I ran out of money. they were takin way too long for me, so i am keeping them all smaller for quicker finishing now https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/194377-dankmango-tries-hempy-perpetual.htmlhttps://www.rollitup.org/194377-dankmango-tries-hempy-perpetual.html

sorry, :-? i'll stop posting up YouTube links after this... but i just gotta put up one more artist, Lil Flip - Pass Da Swisha:

PICTURE UPDATE (Day 2 of Flowering and Day 2 for the Clones):

(1) Plastic People - finally got the clone shelves covered in plastic... drain tube from the lowest spot on each is drain-to-waste. Also added an overflow tube to the rez... 'cuz i can be a bit forgetfull.

(2) 2GirlsNoCup - 16 oz. cups filled w/soil. two holes at the outside bottom of each for drainage, no reservoir. M.G. Seed Starting Mix (mostly sphagnum). 9 oz. clear plastic cups for 'domes'. the domes are re-used 'cuz i have to trim the top edges off.

(3) Lollipop Whore - Killed two birds with one stone; lollipopped the plants 4" inches up ... and got the next generation of clones in the process.

(4) ManyGirlsManyCups - I'll put the domes on and leave them alone for 7 days at around 78 degrees. Then they will be opened up just long enough to get a drink of water and then closed again for 3 more days. Then they will be either opened or closed everyday (individually) thereafter depending upon if they seem to be ready for the open air, or if they seem to be suffering from it.

(5) Cloning Device - Taken from the Government Marijuana Research Laboratory in Mississippi ... the same place that the G13 clone was stolen from.

(6) WTFisThat - thats about half of . . . wait a minute, i have no idea what that is. Someone must have taken my camera when i wasn't looking !!

fo' sho... I was up last night till 4:00 in the morning screwing around w/a HPS system. Bulb got lit up... then accidently shut off... and i tried to turn it back on right away. bad idea. i waited 10 minutes tried again, no luck. 20 minutes tried again, no luck. so i start freak'in out and crawl under the house and grab the ballast and pull the cords through the floor etc. swap out the 'capacitor' and the ignitor. no joy. switch out the bulb to a spare bulb. Spare bulb works. so i finally figured out that i jumped the gun and prolly didn't need to rip everything apart... just wait longer.

BUT, i feel like i'm finally over this change-over hurdle. So i'll hopefully be online a bit more often again and get updated on other people's journals and stuff. i've got about 20 threads i follow a.t.m. And have only caught up on one of them. :peace:

Its all so nice, I have such limited space to work with, hopefully I can make up for it with some mad chronic dense buds. Im lookin for a double wide to use up north for the end of this year and the future. I transpalnted my clones into hempy's yesterday. I wait until they have roots long enough to hit the res and then do it up cause they like it so much better. Probably because I pay too much attention and overwater sometimes tryin to take care of the little ones. I hate light incidents, I lose power frequently and freak out every time like its the end of the world. They are putting new power lines in the ground right now though, hopefully to solve that problem. Your shit does look like a lab. You should get a white overcoat and maybe convince everybody your doing legitimate research for cancer or something haha. and as far as a minimum goal for 4kw, Id say just managing it all is a good goal. Id like to point out that this is proof that weed doesnt make anyone lazy, lazy people are just that way.

dang, that quote was from a while ago... But at least ur starting from the beginning :D

i'd love to be shown the error of my ways, 'cuz i really would like to yield better than i have in the past. but i tend to max out around 1 oz. avg. per plant or per sqare foot.

i'ma work'in on it. this next clone crop should be better than the last. first off, they were all taken at the same time. the first crop had three generations of clones. the second (current one in flower) had clones two weeks apart and struggling under flouro's for 9 weeks. and i had some auto-flowers in there that i was still hop'in to pull into better veg growth. so about 8 of the current buckets are looking pretty sad because of those, the rest look like they are in good shape though. but i was expecting that it would take a good 3 crops to get some good clone picks. eventually that should spill over into final yield.

Today's Safety Reminder:

Never throw anything into the trash !! No seeds, no leaves, no stems, no roots in soil, no used vacuum bags, etc. etc.

- = -

So i burnt the sulphur vaporiser for about 4 hours last nite. I'll burn it once more for 4-6 hours about 2 weeks into flowering. i've never really had a pest problem (other than fungus gnats) or a problem with powdery mildew... but better safe than sorry. i also use a ozone generator which seems to keep things pretty 'clean'. and hydrogen peroxide in the rez every few days. malathion for a soil drench as needed. pyrethrums, piperonyl, and neem for the foilage on occasion. sticky traps, especially fly paper. and diatamaceous earth on the floor. sometimes i find a dead bug.

nah, i'll start from the beginning... i'm already curious to know how you slid from a "20 watt" grow (with healthy looking plants, by the way) to whatever the current setup is. i'll deff. get through it this weekend.

PIC: Day 3 after Flipping to 12/12. Approx. two weeks after being transplanted into the Hempy Buckets.

looking nice, I think they look a little happier than your last girls too. maybe from not having as stressful lives in the cups like the others did? they look perky.

they did transition to good veg. growth under the HPS a lot faster that the last girls. I think some of it may be that i used a 1/2 strength Root Activator from Lowe's in the rez. after i finally had them all slipped into the perlite.
