So i had a couple month old plant passed on to me, didnt grow much due to lack of sun light. owner passed it on the me after a month and a half..

the strain is grape ape, and it was in miracle grow soil durin its month and a half. Instantly when i left it outside and in miracle grow soil it grew a new set, but then i noticd the leaves losing color...so i decided to transplant into a hempy bucket.

moved indoor grow, 6 CFLS @ 23watts surrounding it about 2-4 inches away...Too close?

The medium at the top doesnt really stay wet, becaues the water goes out the reservior

I tried to plant it so that some of the roots are in the reservior already, but i dunno how that worked. Ive been watering it a bunch. its been less than 6 hours and now its this!!
leaves are becoming crinkled/shivered... is it due to lack of water or??
no nutrients, just water, and a 3-1ish ratio of perlite and verm*watever* should i add nutes?


also u can notice how the stem is bent a little, it was bent at a 90 degree angle, could this be the problem? i was gonna do LST. But the plant stands up fine.....
no nutrients, can it be from a lack of nutes (no soil change in about month +half if not more)

its bottom 3 nodes are just GONE

i mean you can keep it around and see what happens but if you do somehow pull that through to harvest it will be dismal

i mean no harm in trying to revive it

looked like it was thirsty. I dont know how educated you are about growing, but soil grows dont use a reservoir unless your using some sort of drip line.

it was like that, but without the top small leaves, but much less wrinkled out. leaves were about the same size though.

its a hempy bucket, its a 3-1 perlite to vemiculate(sp?) in which there is a reservior about two inches from the bottom.....its passive hydro.

Bro, your plant is 6 weeks old. Not to be a jerk or anything, but 6 weeks a hydro grow should look more like this.
Pic is 6 week old plants 2 week to clone +veg, 4 weeks 3 days into flower here.

you must not of read my thread...

my friend had it at window in beerpong cups for 6 weeks. soil, and the plant wasnt getting enough light to grow efficiently. The plant was pretty much green, just small.

so i got it and transplanted it to a hempy bucket. no nutes (first day was today)

the top leaves are only small cuz its fimmed and.... i dunno what to say man if your leaves were as big as mine when you took it out from the sun and into the hempy the only thing i can think of is i dont recall ive ever heard of a reservoir in a hempy bucket though i thought those had to have good drainage maybe im wrong i dunno

take it outside, go get a shotgun, put it up to the plant and pull the trigger. start over, a 1 week old plant will be bigger than that thing will after it gets on track.

not really a resevior. since theres a drainage slot about 11/2" to 2" from the bottom, water collects at the bottom two inch, since it cant be drained.

ahhh... well if you can, just start over again man, trust me youll have a nice flourishing plant that puts that thing to shame and youll just think back and just laugh at this plant

you dont have to shoot it though... but it would probably help release sum stress

Dude...please dont give the Hempy Bucket method a bad name. It has nothing to do with the Hempy method at all.....its whats been done to it prior.

May I suggest just not even trying?...
First, u don't need that many lights, try about 1-100w CFL. They produce about 1500 lumans which will cover about a square foot. I have one plant, and one light and have only spent about $4 total and everything is going strong.
BTW the strain I'm growing is Cleveland chronic ;)
