Loving Hempy!

Just started my 3rd grow 2.5-3 weeks ago with tons of problems. Mostly over watering as usual. This was even though I was using 80/20 perlite/vermiculite. I switched over to 100% perlite hempy a few days ago and things are really looking up! Also switch from LED to 600w MH at 50% power.

One photo is the before and one is from today. Feeding 1/8tsp of Dynagro folliage pro.

So excited about this grow now!

I don't believe that over watering could cause that lower leaf damage, as typically a hempy will only droop if over watered (and it takes allot to over water it)...nor would vermiculite be the culprit

I'm thinking you mag have a cal-mag issue....or maybe it was just a heat issue...but whatever it looks better now

I couldn't understand the question before but I agree with above that you cant really overwater hempy as it drains straight out the bottom, and vermiculite has the same properties basically (inert/holds water) as perlite so its not that.

Not really a question, just showing results of going hempy. Quite possible cal-mag issue since just used straight water for the first 7 days when probably should have used the fertilizer from the beginning.

most of us use straight water for 2 weeks.....not sure what caused your issues but it looks under control now

Update for the last two weeks. Started flowering 1 week ago, plant is about 5 weeks old at this point. Would have waiting about 2-3 more weeks but Im in low supply lol. Have been feeding 1/8tsp Dynagro Folliage Pro but just upped it to 1/4tsp. Light is a 600mh. Leaves are a little droopy but believe its due to needing water.
