I really like the flood tray idea. Would make things much easier with those numbers. I do wonder if top feeding might be beneficial every week or so to pull oxygen down into the medium. You stay clean ..very smart for first time. I drug mites into my first big grow lol.
60 hour weeks ouch. I was working 40-45 when i had a large grow going and i never fucking slept. One small bit of advice from been there done that.....keep your job until you have at least a years worth of expenses saved and stashed...lawyer money too. You never know what can happen and it looks more legit when you start buying toys. I had an op that i ran with one partner that was brining in about 60k every two months after expenses. I grew up poor and that much money was nuts so i went nuts spending. When my grow got ripped for everything including equipment I was glad to have a job since i didnt save much money.
Totally not knocking your skill when i say 10 lbs 10 z is unrealistic on 2400 watts. Its just that would be 2 grams per watt, Something very very few people can claim and not
Thought I'd throw in a pic of my coco/hempy setup...the plant in the middle is an Uberkush two weeks into flower, the flanking plants are Anesthesia clones one week in. Tent is kinda empty right now, but I've got another batch of clones a week or so from flip.

My girl bought me a new grow tent for xmas just got here and not set up yet but ohhh 8x8x6.5 now i need another light or two...for time being though i can throw 60 one gallon hempys in there and have room to walk around then! Got 30 seedlings at about 8 nodes right now (maui wowie x blue dream and maui wowie x elephant) plus 6 gods gift clones, 7 sand widow, 7 skunk. Got em from buddy who works for local disp for a batch of ganja butter they are all real small but that gives me veg time which will get my seedlings big enough to top for a clone off each just in case i get something special.
Anyone grown gods gift? Never seen it before.

Gods gift is supposed to be a heavy yielder. That's all I know about it.
Shiva, sounds like you're ramping-up your OP too. I'm considering doing this too but I'll definitely have to find a bigger place.
The tent looks great ... I'm green with envy
lol.

To Moebius...yeah ramping up my op. wanted to get kinks out in Hempy and new location two grows should be enough. Pulled just about a lb in my 4x4 tent. Figuring i should be able to pull 2.5 under 1200 with more space....next run when i have my blue dream mom big enough to pull 60 cuttings. Maybe by then ill add another 600 as well...or fix my 400 halide and daisy chain it into the middle...i really love the idea of having room to work inside my tent though so prob never have 8x8 canopy.
told ya my clones were tiny

The top water thing I do every so often. It's just a hassle as hell to top water almost a thousand plants. I'm having trouble right now. One of my clients the one I sell clones to gave me three mothers in soil. I ripped them from the 10 gallon soil pots and transplanted them into perlite. It seems that 2/3 of those mothers seem to be too top heavy and its pull the root mass up ccuz it's tipping over and the top roots aren't big enuff to attach its self upright so I used Togo chopsticks and zip ties as stakes. Imma water with root excelurator tonight for a week to see if it helps root mass on top branch out to be stable.
I wholesale iPhones. I've been doing it since I've been out of prison so 3 yrs now. I can always restart it if I quit since its just buying and selling. The flashy life I've been there and done that. Used to spend a grand making it rain at the strip club every night when I used to move x and coke. First time grower but long time dealer so I know how it goes.
I was planning on getting another house a week before the first batch is ready to harvest. So I can have a steady one week harvest for a while. I'm ditching this house after this harvest tho. So I can have a full three bedroom house to grow in. I fell in love with growing. At first I thought of the easy money from profits but then I found that growing is so therapeutical. I can sit there I'm the veg/clone room and just meditate. The ezclone sounds like a waterfall. The sweet aroma of the slh smells like lemon tea. And the Hawaiian snow smells like grapefruit. I think even at 60 ill be still growing cuz of the therapy I get out of it.
And Hempy buckets make it so easy.

What the plan after the solo's? keeping them in there or transplanting?
what substrate/medium you going with?

hey mo, them cheese grew like i never seen before, then fucking root rot has kicked in ffs. i think a rapid replant into soil is required. i shall try again with a couple of jack herers i got going.

solo cups can veg for about two weeks to a month just fine. u can top water or use flood trays. perlite and verm is best. but verm i think is only to hold the meidum together better or hold water better than perlite. my 7.5 gallon mothers are way bigger than 10-15 gallon soil pots. always make the hole a bit bigger then enuff so it doesnt have cloggage. for veg its best to transplant them since root growth is what u are after.
just stick with this thread and u will learn loads. it was funny i learn 99% of my growing weed abliities thru this one thread, and i was having a talk with a seasoned 10 yr grow vet. and he didnt know as much stuff as i had learned from here. and this other grower i know, he has 7 grows under his belt, and his plants look like shit compared to mines and he works at a hydro store too. i learned it all cause of this thread.
but hempy is simple. when they in solo water once a day or flood the tray of cups once every 2-3 days. easiest method ever. even a cave man can do it

most likely gonna go with the 2.5gallon paint buckets from home depot, chunky perlite at bottom and pure coco above that.

i didnt think about flooding, that sounds like a great idea now that i think about it, so basicly flood it then remove excess water? what about the coco above the perlite, will that get a proper soak also?

Root rot in hempy? What substrate are you using dude? That sucks h202 will help eat them nasty roots.hey mo, them cheese grew like i never seen before, then fucking root rot has kicked in ffs. i think a rapid replant into soil is required. i shall try again with a couple of jack herers i got going.

One of the working parts of the Hempy style is top watering to pull oxygen down into your containers. If you go flood its something to think about. You can run a flood without the hempy container.

well from the looks of my 2 week clones with stems the size of a pernament marker... i think the drain hole can be use as a flood hole as well. flood it a bit passed the drain hole and u get the 2 inch rez always filled. i guess i flood and top water which helps. but honestly trust me on this... u can flood the tray full of solo cups and it will work out just as fine.

Why bother making hempy buckets to run a flood and drain set up. Its just more work. You dont need a hempy reservoir in flood and drain (in a situation with 500+ plants if youre dead set on hempy it may be beneficial for eas of watering) in fact it may not be as efficient as a flood and drain with hydroton or rockwool as hempy leaves some roots in water almost constantly and in flood and drain all of the roots get a chance to dry out somewhat and soak up oxygen. Not to mention in a tray full of hydroton or rockwool the roots have a lot of room to expand whereas if they are in cups thats as big as the roots will get.
Hempy was designed so that you dont need pumps and timers in order to run hydro. In my opinion almost every time if you are running hempy it is easier and better to top water.
To each their own and im sure your plants are growing great. However at the risk of sounding like mr dahlia the hempy meister..it isnt really hempy if you have pumps.
Plants are a cinch to veg. Flowering isnt the same.
