MH through the two week pre-flower stretch sounds logical. My next ballast will be a conversion.
Jrosek uses a mini Sunsoaker umbrella reflector, the bulb is still mounted horizontally. I think it will fill out my area a bit better then the basic rectangle one I use now.
After...
Thanks for dropping in :eyesmoke:
Ive been thinking about improvements that I could make to reach 1 gram per watt. As it is I am getting around .6 grams per watt.
When this current batch is done and removed from the flower chamber I plan on replacing the lame white cardboard with some...
Ive made some bubble hash from a male before.
It a good alternative to the smell test or smoking the leaf for male breeding selection.
The leaves do have small amounts of THC on them.
Its 4 grams of Melty Bubble.
I spun up and passed my trim through the bubble bags twice.
The bottom disk that is small and dark is both runs of 25u
Above that is the 75u - run 1 on the left, run 2 on the right.
And on top is the 45u runs
There is Lack of Light Stretching then there is Flowering Stretch.
Of the two types of "stretch" we are talking about the flower onset stretch.
This period is from the point of flower trigger till buds start to form. This happens in two weeks, then vertical growth slows down to a stop...
I could mount a fan blade to my 1/2 hp motor with a set screw, nut and bolt.
But I think it would spin too fast. I only have one speed, ON.
Maybe a 1/4 HP pump motor would work best, you can buy them that spin counter clockwise. Mine does.
Yea, SOG Grows are great for dense nugs. You dont get much little wispy bud at all.
Smoke Report:
My first test of a bud was with my vaporizer. I put part of a bud in the wand started tokin. It hit like some of the Hash I have been vaping. Nice thick hits and it lasted a long time in...
I dont do seeds in my hempy's because they grow weakly till they mature.
I run clones of a really nice cut in a SOG.
Take a cut from the mother - root it in a bubble cloner - transplant it right into a hempy.
I read all of Lucas's posts a few months ago on CW.
Best to get the info from the horses mouth so to speak.
But all the information about recirculating reservoirs have no relevance to hempys. All you need to know is mix up a fresh batch of nutes 8ml micro and 16ml bloom per gallon of...
For hempy water with full strength nutes of whatever line you use.
Lucas formula is 1320 PPM @ 8ml micro / 16ml bloom per gallon on a .7 conv and RO water
Yes I feed with nutes every time I water.
I used to work in a water only feeding but found them to be unnecessary. Now I only flush at the end of my flower cycle.
And I think full strength nutes is recommended by Dali Hempy
I dont think it will cause damage but guano cannot breakdown into base elements without a Mycorrhizae, Bacteria or Protozoa inoculating the root zone.
If I was going to run organics with hempys I would use Coco coir with a 100% organic nute line and a blend of beneficials.
Floranova series is not a 100 % organic fertilizer, its the regular Micro and Bloom with coal based humic and fulvic acids added.
Some of the components are Organic, some are not. Those organics do not need additional break down by microbes.
You wont be growing a micro-herd so you don't...
Molasses is best suited to Organics and not the best for chemical nutrient grows. In place of it I would recommend a P+K booster to help with flower stack. Maybe something like Hydroplex or CNS 17 Ripe.
You don't need all that sugar from the molasses. its for feeding organic microherds...
From your link:
G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle (18/6)
0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12)
the (18/6), (12/12) are reference to hours of light.
And its incorrect anyway.
What it should say is:
G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
0ml-5ml-10ml - For Fluorescent...
You can make clones in a two liter with the top cut off and an Aquarium Airstone in the water.
I do it sometimes when I dont want / need to setup my 40 spot bubble cloner.
