DoeEyed's Perpetual Grow Log

Hey guys, I was checking out the threads on Hempy Buckets - any of you tried this? How about a good place to buy Perlite that doesn't cost $35 in shipping, for a $15 bag? If this is a legit method, I may have to switch over from soil - save our backs a few aches and pains. lol Hauling four to five cubic feet of soil is no fun - especially if it's gonna be every five weeks.
It is indeed a legit method, though I've never tried it personally.

Awesome! Well I planted my Train Wreck and Super Lemon Haze seeds, hopefully they will both sprout for me. I feel reasonably sure that tiny, malformed Church sprout is not going to do anything - it still hasn't put out a single leaf. So that makes 13 out of 18 that sprouted for me. Worst I've had in awhile.:? The TW I already put in the dirt - but the SLH, if it germs, I think is going to be my test subject for the Hempy Bucket.:hump: I'm pretty excited about it - gotta love trying something new!

Alright, I had to give the girls a photoshoot. lol The babies first: Church, Cheese, Power Kush, Bubba Kush, Royal Kush, and White Widow. The Widow looks a bit odd - kind of crumpled - but healthy. Hoping I'll have a TW and SLH by the end of the week as well!

Clones are next - really nothing exciting going on with them, they are healthy and growing. One seems to like leaning, but it seems fine otherwise, so I'm not worrying about it. It does seem odd to me though, having young plants with pistils!

My big girls - I am super impressed! Wow I can't believe the difference the 600w makes, compared to the 400w! Already, a week and a half into flower, the buds are forming! I don't know if you guys can see it as well in the closeups - but they are forming now, rather than almost three weeks with the 400w! Yay! Of course - I also have that one plant, that just has to be a half a foot taller than everyone else. :roll: Pain in the butt plant. lol Why is there always one! Makes it hard to keep the light close as I'd like to the rest! Can't complain too much though, she might hear me!

Why that's some mighty fine looking vegetables you're growing there Mrs. I trust that Widow will do just fine under your care.

Looking good, Doe!

Hopefully they are about done stretching on you.

Hempy buckets work great. You have to feed it like hydro cause thats what it technically is but they grow great plants and perlite is cheap and light in big bags. I always buy medium locally so I can help with a supply source but I'm here if you have any q's.

Thanks a bunch! I'm sure I'll have questions when I get going with it, glad to know someone will be able to assist!
Yeah I hope they're done stretching too - haven't got rods that tall to support 'em, lol. ;-)

Amazing, isn't it?! I can imagine, yours was probably even more noticable from a 150w!:mrgreen: Great tip btw, I didn't even think about tying her down - might have to do that.

My TW sprouted! Wow and fast - I checked it at noon today, nothing to see - she shot out of the soil to around two inches tall by 6pm this evening!

yea gurl just tie a string or ribbon around the stem of the tallest girls and pull them down even to the canopy and fasten it to the pot..some ppl drill lil holes in there pots to tie the strings too but i like to wrap a bungie cord aroun the pot and just run the strings thru it

p.s. the gurls love it and they look all pretty if u use pink ribbon or string my man hates it..lol

lol... I've got plenty of bungie cords around here, that sounds like a plan to me. I like using yarn on the plants - it's strong, but soft enough that it grips them, without cutting into them. I've got some hot pink yarn - maybe I'll use it, god knows I'll never use it for anything else! lol;-)

My Super Lemon Haze germed for me - went into the peat pellet today. I don't usually use them - they seem to stay too cold, without an external heat source. But I want to try the hempy, so here we go! If she sprouts, she'll go into an 18oz plastic cup, first.

I was actually wrong earlier. THe church is short, still around 6 inches but she is probably 8 inches wide. The White Widow is the runt..... New journal should be up tonight. I am finishing out veg and then clone, and then flipping. Flip within next week or two.
