My first Hempy

Well when I decided to try this Hempy stuff as a new grow room project I had no Idea I had so much work just getting prepared.

First, I had to revive the second evolution grow space under my bench from 3 or 4 years ago. Its about 32"w x 38"h x 60"L. Currently equippedwith a mere 160 watts of 4' flourescent tubes which I will be adding another 160 this week in prearation of the grow.

Next, I received my seed order last week am currently germinating 5 each of Wonder Woman Fem, AK-48 Fem, and Blackberry Fem. Hopefully all germinate so I can hold back a mother from each for cloning. The AK-48 will be used for my hydro grow and the blackberrya as well as the Wonder Woman will be in my Hempy grow. Along with these I have placed in the cloner 12 - UK, 6 - Purple Buddha, and 6 - Bubba Kush. When all is said and done I plan on 24 pots for the hempy with one helluva "Wittmans Sampler." My bubble cloner I had to put together for this grow as I have an 8 pod sprinkler/bucket cloner that wouldn't produce enough for me. I bought some cheap plastic containerpainted ti flat black, , drilled my holes, cut sponges for supporting the clone, and ran 3 lines off an 8 unit air pump running in my flower room located behind my bench to feed the three air stones for the bottom of the cloner.

For pots I have decided on using these plastic popcorn containers I found at the local Dollar Store.

Come flower time I'm either going to get the appropriate T-5 bulbs from the hydro store or put a 150 watt Hps if I can get the mechanical mover built for under there.

I have my perlite and vermiculite purchased already which pretty much leaves drain pans to get as well as install the additional tubes so now I figure about another 2 weeks and I should have a grow.:joint:

Well Hell, Not off to a great start here but .., heres wehre its at.
I had to go out of town a week and came back to find that all my seeds that I had started had been engulfed in a fungus and my child was checking things for me while in my absence and thought it would be real nice if I came home to find a couple new clones she had aquired. normally I would have been quite happy with her except ..,

She brought along some hitchhikers.., I immediately got rid of the clones she brought and will thank her for the thought letting her know next time to quarantine and treat even if she dont see the lil buggers.

The roots look fantastic but with all that webbing started and the fact that when I started drilling the popcorn containers they shatter as they are made from a brittle plastic, I decided to go buy a couple dozen bottles of pop scrap these clones sterilize and start again. Not my first failure and as I learned from my days in the good ol' USMC, Adapt and Overcome..., Sooo, Tonite I clone.
