The new DNA "Sharksbreath" sprouts are rocking in coco hempy cups....these are only 7 days old from breaking the coco surface. It's been 3 days since feeding with Canna "Start" which both the BF Blue Cheese and LSD burned with in succession (this didn't even burn lettuce or basil sprouts). I grew C99 and Pineapple Express with "Start" in the first week and they are on the record books. Notice the slight hint of yellow in the green..that's the coco effect robbing a little cal/mag and is easily corrected with once old enough to feed it. Tomorrow at day 8, these newbies get a light 80% mix of Canna Coco A&B with a a half shot of Cal/Mg...I'll hold the Cannazyme till week 3. Now I know I'm back in the saddle with prolific strain... Next week at the 2 week mark you won't believe the transition in stem diameter and inter-nodal density and it will be FIM time already. Instead of Mapito this time (which was a killer medium), my 2 gal buckets will see a layer of Grodan Rockwool chunks (3/4" cubes) along the bottom 2" res with the same chunks strewn throughout the coco coir. I'll call it Cocito! As with the "Mapito" I'm looking to keep that minimum 3-day watering frequency in late flower while keeping the aeration in that explosive "hydro" category. Coco itself can drop to every 2 days with heavy drinkers in weeks 7 & 8 in the 2gal bucket.

So which coco would you recommend, or who's brand seems to be the best?

Today I thought of the perfect growing medium.....shredded junk mail (LOL).
Aint that the truth. I have take-away menu's from every country of the earth.
..... oops meant to update but was unexpectedly called away to the pub and now just recovering after drinking too much. .. I feel dreadful atm :cuss:Sambucca's and Beer in quick succession seems like a good idea at time but 12 hours later ....... Uggghhh .

slow day for me making bread I think. back soonish.

Back in the old days when I cloned on the regular, I kept moms in 5 gallon soil. I usually replaced them with a new cut every 6-9mos. They weren't flowered either because I had a production setup with no room for the random gigantic plant with 1000 branches. They were usually sold, for a pretty good amount of money too because they were big. Too much info I know.

yeah, I like soil for moms :) I wouldn't personally keep a hydro mom for more than 3-5mos. Just me though!

Good day fellow hempyérs! I was hoping you could help me a bit.
Started 3 autoflowers at the same time @day 36 now. Started in dwc, but kept getting some sort of calcium build up, so i transplanted to hempys at day28. Then after 6days i find out my PH meter is 0.7 off(Shitty meter adjust a screw) On top of that my afghan kush ryder did not touch the water in the dwc so it had a really bad start.

La Diva Looks damn fine nothing to touch there, its good into flowering.

Afghan Kush Ryder it seems so unhappy. idk what to do? Maybe the roots havent hit the res and its just drying out. Im watering once a day. If you have any suggestions please share.

Blue Mammoth it just wont flower. Doesnt seem that bad. Could it be stress, not wanting to flower? Always seems a bit sad :(

What Medium?
What Nutes?
How Often are you Feeding?


Lets start there.

Nice looking plants you have there bro!

Drooping is the NO.1 sign of over-watering. When you say you've been feeding once a day, it becomes obvious that's a problem.

I'm 99% certain that plant HAS hit the res. ... Trust me, a plant that hadn't hit the res at this stage would be FAR FAR worse.

re plant not flowering - extremely unlikely to be stress IMO ... More likely just has a longer flowering time.

edit:
'drooping' and 'wilting' look slightly different. The former is caused by too much water, whilst the later is caused from not enough.

Damn Moebius your fast :) Thanks alot. Ill lay off the watering for two to three days and get a feel on the bucket.
re flowering time. Ive searched alot of threads it seems it should start flowering after 14 days. Finished 70days from seed. Something must be wrong. could i try to stress it to flower somehow? or just let time tell what happens?

Thx Rusty if you have other input please share.
Im using Perlite-hydroton/Sphagnum pro mix 3to1 and full hydroton in the res.
Im using advanced hydroponics of holland dutch formula. with a sidekick of cellmax flower stimulator 2ml pr l once a week(First time yesterday).
Ive been feeding every 2.Day for Diva and Mammoth. Everyday for kush ryder as the roots where no longer than 10cm at transplant.
Thx for the help.

Well it sounds like your not Underwatering, and I have only had one case of Overwatering a Hempy, and I water many of them daily. The one I had a problem with was one that came in a BIG Rockwool Cube. It was buried in Dirt when I got it, so I rinsed it, and BOY does that rockwool Suck up and hold water. The plant looked droopy for a few days so I let it completely dry out (took about a week), then went into my routine and she has done great.

But again,, I water many of my Hempy's Daily and never shown any signs of Overwatering Issues.

Also, I am a Perlite in the Res kinda guy,, But dont see a problem with the Hydroton in the Res.

All in All they dont look bad, and probably just need a little time.

Ill just keep it cool for a while. :) Thx for helping.
I have it in my head that these plants are just amazing. When things turn bad its probably because we tend to make it more complex then it should be. But then again the search for perfection is worth it :)

While my bread bakes .... The low-down on the :fire: LEMONATOR :fire:

Mine are only a couple of weeks old and were topped quite early. The leaf is extremely broad, almost round. Even though young, the stems are extremely thick. My impression so far is that it may me twitchy to nutes. Ive never had a plant respond dramatically with low feed like these. The leaf has a slight papery feel and the young leafs start out growing all sqwirly.

One thing Ive never seen before is this. I topped it to induce side branch growth. However, on 2 out of 3 plants, a completely new branch has grown directly from the point where I chopped at. ... Its literally grown out from the stump like a Salamander. I never knew this could happen. Look at the pics, you can see where the cut was and where the branch has grown from the center.

Some can be induced to flower by going to 12/12 and my need to be done that way.

I reduced watering to every 2 1/2 days and it seems to be better...notice the roots are starting to come out of the holes.

I used a green 2L pop bottle then into a plastic jar, which provides stability while blocking any light, and allows me to view the roots.

I now realize that I will likely damage the roots if I continue to pull the 2L bottle in & out of the jar, as it's a tight fit.

The diameter of the jar is only slightly larger than the pop bottle but enough to allow me to tip and drain it without pulling the 2L out of the jar.

Question: does this sound problematic...should I ditch the outer jar while I can?

If the outer jar is plastic you could just make a large hole at the bottom. then .If you stop pulling the Hempy out , the roots could grow undisturbed.

Thanks again whocares. ... I'm eating the Amish bread atm .. tastes great. :-P




Nice looking loaves, missing the sugar is not a bad thing, just not as sweet. the round loaves I usually roll in cornmeal and bake, gives them a English Muffin style, perfect for Chili and other Thick foods...I'm proud of u, Good Job!!!
