5 Feminized DP Twilights, Hempy Buckets

Current plan: veg Twilights for 2 weeks outdoors (my balcony has a very nice southern exposure). On or about July 1 bring them indoors to my Secret Jardin tent and put them in 12/12 under 400w HPS.

I am presently using approximately 4l (1 gal.) containers -- I may transplant them into 2gal (7l) containers for flowering.

So far 5/5 have germinated and 4/5 have sprouted. (I get MUCH better results with Rapid Rooter plugs than with Rockwool). I have presently placed them in hempy buckets using aquarium gravel and, for the 5th bucket, hydroton pellets.

I'll be posting pictures later today: for now let's just say that the Giggle Factory is in operation.

i would definetly go with the 2gal if not 3. we dont want them root bound do we, best of luck

what medium are you using ?

A mix of coarse and fine aquarium gravel: I am ordering some Perlite for the transplant. Since I have a good bit of room to work with (1.2m x 1.2m -- around 16 s.f.) I can use big containers and even let the girls get a bit of size.

from what ive read, the longer you veg the more you yield. and we all want to yeild, nice setup, not very familiar with the medium but will help as best i can

i would of went with a 600 for that size area, for good light pentration, but a 400 is adequete.

75-80 during the day, going down to the mid 60s at night. Perfect weather for growing cannabis, actually

weather in uk way to unstable to grow outside, but it would be nice, how long do u leave them in the wilderness for, the complete season?

The wilderness is my balcony, which has a very nice and unobstructed southern exposure.

And here is one of our four pretty little seedlings basking in the sun.

Here are the four Twilight seedlings as of 25 June 2008.









And as an added bonus, here's an Afghan Mafia sprout

Day 9 Since Germination

Instead of using a HPS light, I decided to take full advantage of the southern exposure on our balcony. I just moved the two survivors (otherwise known as the Madeline sisters) inside today.

My experiment with Hempy buckets proved a bit disappointing



However, the buds produced in a Waterfarm were much more impressive

Hey man! How'd everything turn out! I've been wanting to grow some twilight for a while now!
