DoeEyed's Perpetual Grow Log

Ok, here we go. I count age from the day I soak the seed. The youngest girl (Super Lemon Haze) is 6 days old, the Train Wreck is seven days old, and the rest of the little ones are 13 days old. All are doing well. The Power Kush seems to be the strongest of the group thus far. Noticed something a bit odd, with the SLH - the perlite seems to be browning, as if the lights are cooking it - any ideas on this? Is it just from the lights, or should I be worrying?

The clones are growing well. They seem off to me, and I don't know if it's because they are my first clones (are clones different?) or because they are the first ones I haven't topped in awhile. But to me, they seem more like what they are - a single branch growing - than a whole plant. They are 26 days from the cut, now. Can almost guess which ones came from which mothers - and don't you know, there's one tall one in there! lol

The biggest girls - I am very pleased with. Buds are exploding all over the plants! Yay bud! They are 17 days into flower. I will never go back to 400w! Tried to take one through the foilage - no can do, too thick. Got a couple random bud shots, and one pic with the flash - so you can kind of see the actual color, and new buds all over like little white stars.:mrgreen:

Thanks! And to think, it wasn't so long ago - I can't believe how much I've learned, and most of it from RIU! You guys are awesome!:hug: The unlabeled one is my Super Lemon Haze - she's going to be my first hempy bucket experiment.

Hi Doe, I use a hempy bucket system for my mother tent... I love it, its so simple. My buckets have vermiculte and perlite in them, there's four plants a water pump to pump water into the tray, a drain hole so it doesn't flood over when I am watering, I water twice a day that's it... I have an airstone in the res just to keep the water moving and aerate it a little... How are you going to set yours up? I'm really interested...

There's better pics in my journal. Around the 4th of Feb if you look by date...

I've since installed a mylar cover just to keep the water and tray cleaner... The roots are not coming out the bottom of the pot where the water gets in, and if they are they are directly under the pot, its very cool..:-)

Interesting setup, so you have them sitting in water then? Airstones and a water pump? Maybe I read about a different hempy bucket, I plan on just having the plant in the perlite, hole drilled 2" above the bottom of the bucket, watering until the water just starts coming out the hole, every other day. Any opinion on the browning of the perlite?

They only sit in the water when the pump is on... Otherwise its just a dry tray... My pots have holes in the bottom and about 1cm up the sides to let the water drain in and out....My tray fills twice a day for half an hour then it drains back to dry....I love it, its too easy....Vermiculite is a great holder of water and perlite keeps air around the roots...

Got more goodies today! Found a pump at Lowes, it's a fountain pump but I think it'll work fine. It's adjustable from 300gph to 500gph. It was $48.12 with tax, but not that much more than online, by the time one pays shipping. I do like the fact that it's adjustable, none of the ones I saw online were.
So here's what I have for my cloner so far - the tote, the PVC guts, and the pump. Thinking I'm only gonna need one, instead of two. On a related note - my clones are finally showing nice growth. And one definately has to be spawn of miss too tall in there. lol

Thanks! Browsing EBay tonight, got the rest of the stuff for the cloner. Also picked up two of these, any of you ever try one (or somthing close to)? They have a large plastic hook on top. I was thinking they might work well for my small buds, as drying racks. Less than $5 each, free shipping.

Excellent idea. I think it'll work great. Just might wanna put something under it to catch what falls though the mesh.

Yeah, I noticed it's a little wide, I was thinking maybe lining with newspaper even? Even if I did it would still be more efficient than a bunch of small cardboard boxes (my current method for small buds lol).
