800 Watt AutoMazar HEMPY Bucket ScROG

Hello everybody! This will be my 3rd grow since joining this site and I believe this one will be my favorite (not to mention highest yielding) one to date!

I will be growing Dutch Passion's AutoMazar, a strain that I believe I would call a "super auto". I ordered this seed along with Think Different and the mazar is the one that I decided I would take up the tent with.

Will be growing under 800 watts of LED. Im using the MARS II series lights from TopLED. The price was great for what I consider to be almost a replica of the BlackDog series. They pull about 180 watts each from what I have seen on various Kill a Watts, so we will say i'll be growing under 360 true watts of power.

I plan on doing a ScROG, usually I would just LST and tie down the branches, but I want to see how I can do using this method.

It is in a 3 gallon Hempy bucket that I made using about 75% coco coir and 25% perlite. A hole drilled about 2 inches up from the bottom will give me a small reservoir that she will use for sucking up those nutes! I have seen a few grows using this method and though it does not compete with DWC, it blows soil out of the water IMO.

You have no issues with pumps failing, no air stones to get clogged, and though you have to water more constantly than with soil, I think of that as a good thing. If I make a mistake, it can be seen very quickly and I can fix it quickly.

I will be using the KISS method with MaxiBloom (7 grams per Gal) for the majority of the grow, and during flowering time I will be using Humboldts Nutrients' Big Up Powder along with it. Cal/Mag for my calcium and magnesium. And Clearex for a flush should I ever need one in this bucket. My water will be pHed to 5.8, I will use RO when I can, but mostly tap water thats been left out for 24 hours.

I will be growing in a tent that is about 1.5x3x6, it has a 250 CFM exhaust fan at the top to evacuate the stale hot air, and an 8 inch room fan I use as my intake (MUCH stronger). My temps stay at 75 degrees pretty much all day. Maybe a couple degrees hotter on a hot day.

She will be on a 20/4 light schedule from seed to harvest. I can't wait until she starts budding and I can see that super fast growth!

Here are some pics, feel free to subscribe and comment

P.S There is only 1 Mars in the picture, the other one is in my closet finishing up my bubba kush it will be done in about a week or so.

Nice man. Have fun, keep us posted!

10 days old

14 days I dunno if she's hit the res yet

day 17 added the other Panel

Also for you hempy growers out there, is this hole too high in my 3 gallon? It is working perfect so far but I'm afraid of getting root rot or not enough oxygen some time in the future.... but I also wanna deliver as much fresh nute water to the res as I can.

cut holes in the bottom dude lol
great setup

why would I cut holes in the bottom man lol

well you could wait for now but when the roots get lower than the hole you have there, they will rot unless you keep it dry.......

its a hempy bucket bro passive hydroponics they drink all that water in the res because the perlite and coco gives them plenty of air to breathe

Nice! Looking good.

Topped her the other day here's a pic of the new shoots



she's pretty short n fat

hey dude pretty good start she looks good and healthy so far keep up the good work..Just one question if you are going for larger yield why go with an auto seed?

Good question! I think it all boiled down to watching the buds grow under 20/4 lighting it only takes like 4 or 5 weeks to flower and the buds change so much everyday! Also I can veg some plants in this same tent, for my buddy who flowers them in another tent.

AutomaZar is a huge yielder if grown correctly and I just wanna see how I match up against others

Very nice setup brother. My seedlings are about 16 days old and now I feel like their growth is stunted comparing to your auto lol. Keep it up though im subbed

was this one topped and if so how many times?

yeah I topped it just once

Hey I have been noticing some twisted growth on some leaves and they feel very rubbery. Think I could be overwatering? I didn't think that was possible in a hempy bucket but my drain hole could be too high or something.... But they were all droopy and I tilted the bucket and it barely had any water in it. Anybody know what could be causing this?
