World Of Hempy

Yeah when shiva mentioned that i was thinking it could be pretty damn benificial to the plants but what do i know...

I bury all of my seedlings to just under the cotes as well. My plants need to learn to stay short from birth because we don't have much space.
Anyone here ever used growstones? I have several friends raving about them and they look like they'd work really well for a hempy.

before using them wash out thoroughly because when the stones rub together they make a dust that forms a paste. to prevent the rubbing around i would do coco + growstone mix (mostly growstone, just coco as a cushion)
they have big+small ones
i'd use the bigs on the bottom and mix of everything up top , and experiment first run
someone mentioned they have silicates in it but i'm unsure if they're available to the plant or not

Hi all,I'm in my fourth week of flowering and I switched nutes last week and overdosed my babies.Older growth got dark green,stems were weak,wispy buds, etc. I flushed them yesterday and I'm not sure how to proceed.Wait to put nutes in or not?please help I'm a nervous wreck.

Go back to Nutes, but keep it on the light side and work your way back up (without overdoing it).. But since they are in flower, they are still gonna need something to eat..

Hope it all works out for you!

I'm thinking of going with straight growstones. I'll add some coco if it's needed but I'm pretty confident in the growstones alone.

You want to feed after flushing because you're taking all the plant's food away with the flush.

Choppa city...... Details later on. Sorry for the shitty pics

Nice Sky, looks like they are ready...

Growstones aren't reusable, are they? I've been looking into Sure to Grow Hail and Storm as possible future mediums.

jella10 uses growstones, and he thought they would recycle fairly easy.
I was planning on getting a bag to use in the rez on coco buckets

The people who I know who're using them are all reusing them. That'd be fucking expensive to run otherwise.

My c99 is going down this weekend... can't wait!

I know they're more re-usable than perlite. Just make sure they're good and rinsed and you soak them in PH-right water overnight.

Perlite dust is fucking crappy. One of my friends made the switch away from it for that alone.

I use Grodan Mini-Cubes, a rockwool product...I think growstones are expanded clay or something else. The ones I saw in the hydo store looked like porous crunchy rocks (light green lava like rocks) My problems understanding mediums like this are that are not penetrable by the roots themselves....they may hold the right mixture of air/water but the roots must grow around them. When the bucket runs low there's a lot of air there between them to prune the roots adversely. I've even studied the "Hail" product and they brag that the grower can now water more often do to it non-wicking properties (that's not my goal at all). Some of these may be great for drip-to-waste or bubble buckets and DWC where the roots are constantly wet, but my buckets tend to work by "wicking" in the "up" direction and allowing root penetration too so they never see huge air pockets. Even hydroton clay balls in hempy is hard for me to wrap my mind around ..although it used right here on WOH with success. Really you could throw anything in a hempy bucket and get results..just have to figure out the quirks of each medium.
Are these the growstones you refer too?

Couldn't have said this better...... even if I was in a creative mood.

"You can't rep jella10 ever again"

Watt did it really say that ?? U can rep Jela again?, what is he deserves it?

are u talking about hydrotron? or is grow stones something else?
