alright my last question, never used this method of growing before and i cant decide what strain to use ww,sour diesel,or g 13 have you ever grew any of these strains before which one would grow best in hempy style or best all round smoke?

Well, i have done WW, its in the journal somewhere!LOL!!
It was an easy plant to grow, and produced great buds. I had not one single problem from the WW plant i grew other than a little nute burn on my part.
The smoke was great, had a strong hash taste to it, but the stories are true, one hit quit shit, and if grown properly, really will produce donkey-dick sized colas!:shock:......:hump:LOL!! Also Ive had 100% success rate with cloning the WW, it's like they WONT die, and strive to grow. WW has passed anything in my grow room as far as performance.

PPP is a great one too! Huge, Massive buds man! and they are easy to grow as well. actually it is described on nirvana to be for beginner growers....I think so anyway, cant remember....:joint:

Never tried sour diesel, but obviously G-13 would be the best pick depending on where it came from. For your first one, you should try and find a strain that states it is for new growers or beginners. These plants will be more defensive against mold and disease most of the time.

I really do not think it matters what strain you go with for this method, the plants just grow so easily on their own, i think any strain would do great in these buckets. Best part is that you can use the Fox farm trio of nutes, and use the same nutes on your hempys as you do on your mothers in soil. If ya do it that way!LOL!!!

Have a good one!

So I got a question similar to one that was asked. I'm currently in a 2gal, probably not going to transplant since I'm well into my flowering cycle, but for future refrence is it any harder to pull the plant from a 2gal and put into a 5gal?

With those red party cups its seems easier since its a lot smaller, but with 2gal I would imagine keeping the perlite together might be harder, but I wouldn't know...any experience with larger hempy bucket transplants?

And oh! Feel free to check out my current grow, a bit over half way done: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/172183-ccs-hempy-grow-top-44-a-8.html

transplanting into a larger 5gal bucket from a 3 gallon bucket would be the same way as this. The only problem you really run into is the top layer of perlite fallen when you turn over the plant to remove it.
As long as the root mass is reached its full potential inside the bucket, the roots should hold the ball together good.
On my way now!

k.. so do u put cuttings in here or do u root them sumwhere else first??? looks like urs r in jiffy things then put into hempy cups (could be wrong)... u say water everyday till roots hit resavoir... jus straight water or nute mixes too??? and once the roots hit the resavoir, how long do u go b4 watering agn???

1 more quest.. i know i shulda waited to post 1 but as i read other threads i had more that i wanted to know... how long from when u put the clone into a 16oz hemy will it take to hit the res.. i wanna do a sog with little to no veg but if i go hempy im gonna want it to hit that res atleast once b4 i bud them...

First of all....yes please compile all your post into one, it's much easier that way, and looks less clusstered in the thread, you can edit your last post and add questions to it if you think of them after you postt once in the thread. We dont like post boosters here.....

Now onto your questions...

k.. so do u put cuttings in here or do u root them sumwhere else first??? looks like urs r in jiffy things then put into hempy cups (could be wrong)... u say water everyday till roots hit resavoir... jus straight water or nute mixes too??? and once the roots hit the resavoir, how long do u go b4 watering agn???
I cut clones and root them in Rock wool cubes inside a humidity dome. then transplant when i see lots of roots poking out into the hempy cups. sometimes i use the soil plugs to root, but it just depends on what i have at the moment.
I like to use just clean PH'd water the first few days to get the roots moving first. It really depends on the size of your pot, and how wet the mix is the next day, if its still really wet i'd wait a day in between watering. if it's dry and light, you should add some water until it runs out the hole. You'll know when the tap root hits the rez. because you will HAVE to water every other day. You can still overwater these, by watering everyday if they do no need it. Trust me my northern lights is proof of this.

1 more thing?? that plant in the pics.. seed or clone??? weeks vegged under what lights???
The plant pictured in this thread is a clone from a PPP I had as a mother, now this is my new PPP mother. I would say at the time of the pics it was vegged probably three weeks from clone under 18/6 lights, 1-250 watt HPS with 6 100 watt equivalent CFL's for side lighting in my mother cabinet. I start clones under a four foot shop light with flouro's in it.

and after the roots hit the res??? how long till a transplant is needed?? r the roots still gonna grow up above the res??? will they not drown???
The roots will grow into the rez, and accumulate like you see in my avatar. That is the bottom of the same plant in this thread on transplant day. The roots still grow like in soil, just faster and healthier if you do it right. Yes they grow all over inside the cup, enough to hold together all the perlite so that you dont lose any in transplant. Thats pretty tight!!:shock:

Hemy? Are we talking dodges?....LOL:joint:
This is true....in fact, if youd like to come over to my current grow journal i am doing the same thing right now. Trying to see the limit on growth inside the plastic red cups i use to flower in those. I put a WW clone in hempy cup about.......oh i'd say two - three weeks ago and its doubled in size in that time. I am planning on rooting my clones in the domes, then when they are exploding with roots, transplant into hempys, then line up under my flouros where the tray was to let them root a bit before going into flower. This way i dont have to switch any lighting timers, or need anymore space to vegg in.

Hope this helps ya man.....love to see more hempy growers on here!

Well, looks like I made a good choice in purchasing WW seeds today! :p I'd heard that it's a hearty plant, and the "one hit quit" is ideal for someone like me that needs MJ daily for pain management, without running out too fast. :mrgreen:

I really am pretty sure that my larger "mystery" plant is indeed PPP, so again I've got a good one going.

So I've still got seven Northern Light (regular) seeds on hand, and five White Widow (feminized) seeds to be delivered next week. Until I have a chance to test out a few strains, which won't be until after we've bought a house and I've got a proper grow room set up, I'll be able to grow me one decent sativa dominant mother (WW) and one indica dominant mother (NL).... different kinds of pain and times of day, different dominant strains to fit the needs. I wouldn't mind actually enjoying being high once in a while again either! (I've been stuck with brick for the last few years, as anything else is WAY out of financial reach when you need it several times a day and have only disability income!)

I had a battle with pythium last month, and my NL has shown no stress whatsoever from the ordeal. Same as you said about the WW, it just doesn't want to die! (Or even get sick, so it seems!) I'm far from new to gardening, but quite new to growing MJ. So a hearty plant that puts out good buds/yield is perfect for me. Gotta get to know MJ through to harvest before I start thinking about trying every strain in existence! :lol:


It's been years since I've done a transplant, but I've got two seedlings that'll be moved to their permanent pots soon. Glad I came across this thread, it was a great refresher! :hump:

Well thanks for stopping by! The WW is def. a must have for any grow room. I'll be adding update pics to my current grow journal tonight....much needed update.
I tried the NL but it gave me nothing but trouble. I think it was my fault though, at the time I had too many trains and plants going at once, i eventually gave her away to a buddy to put outside. Then i heard it blew up like crazy once outdoor.
PPP is my favorite for yield and high. If you do a soil grow, i would advise picking up some Gravity from humboldt county's line of products. Also a jar of plain old "Grandma's Mollasses" from the grocery. Gravity adds density and increases bud sites, along with flavor enhancer i believe. The mollasses adds sugars to the microorganisms in the soil the last two weeks during flush.
Good luck with the grow and dont be afraid to ask questions. Theres lots of great help here! Thanks again!:joint:

I know this old but I wanted to say thanks OP and I will be using this guide and hopefully it helped more then 1 person (if not it helped me)!!!
 
Awesome - just the information i was seeking :) Thanks.

Should i pre wet the medium just before tipping (i do this with soil and coco in an attempt to help it bind together for the tipping stage(give it some weight and such)

hyper, if you still check this, or for those that stumble across it, i believe either way the medium will fall apart, it's just Perilite and vermiculite, even with moisture it is still able to crumble apart.sometimes your lucky if its wet :) The roots in this guide are VERY healthy roots....notice the thick bright white runners :)

So....Its been awhile, trying to get back at this again....Anybody still using hempy? Im currently on an outdoor project, but will be putting a mother in a hempy bucket this winter :)

Subbed. Great Post! I will be starting my first hempy grow in less than a month. Finishing up my current grow in a 400w 6"cool tube in a 4x2x5 tent.
