.Smoke's Hempy Bucket Adventures

The Blueberry Gum got moved over into flower leaving the veg tent looking eerily empty; but the White Widow is looking great.

Yessir .Smoke, I feel the same way whenever my veg tent empties each late Spring...feels weird for sure lol.

The Dr. Grinspoon had germinated, so I was getting things ready to move her to the pot while doing some more research. I stopped preparing the pot and did more research. Then some more....
After seeing pictures FROM Barney's Farm.... I promptly flushed the seed down the toilet. No chance in hell I'm wasting 18wks on that...

So, I decided to pop a different seed. Then I decided fuck cutting back on the numbers. We're keeping it @ 12. So I popped 2 more.

So, here's the running list as it stands now...all fem photos
Skywalker OG- ILGM
Phantom Cookies Domina- Garden of Green Seeds
Zkittlez Glue- Expert Seeds
MK Ultra- ILGM
Blue Dream- ILGM
710 MANGO- 710 Genetics
Gorilla Glue- ILGM
Blueberry Gum- G13 Labs
White Widow- x2- ILGM
Agent Orange- ILGM
Original Amnesia- Dinafem

By my count that makes 12 plants, 11 strains, god knows how many breeders (damn ilgm...)
Let's get to it.

I know right? That type of marijuana is not for me. I enjoy old school traditional Bud, dense, hard...actual bud. I see a lot of larfy looking stuff lately...beautiful, big...larfy.

Getting ready to trim Skywalker OG #3 & #4, so I put a little time into getting the drying/trim room setup.
Satisfied with the results so far.



Time for the trimmer to earn her keep...

Just got it last harvest. It's a bit rougher than I would prefer, but there's no chance, quarentine or not, I've got the time to hand trim that amount every 2-3 weeks

For what its worth though, I like it so far. Well built and works as advertised.

Couple more yrs i recon ill get the centurion or twister t6.
For my outdoor ive paid like more 1000 for trimmers so few yrs pay for emselfs

A few days ago I super cropped the top 10" of the Gorilla Glue.

Despite that, the top back 1/2 of the canopy had grown itself above my shadow line of the hoods. With no more room up, I was stuck.
Then I smoked a bowl...

315w cmh in a rigged up reflector I had from a work light. I'm not quite sure how, but now all (not 1/2) of the GG#4 is bathing under 62k-95k Lux with no signs of stress or bleaching. So long as I can keep the temps down this might be what knocks this one outta the park.
I will be monitoring very closely.

Edit....
If anyone doesn't want to do the math but does need a bit more proof as to how bonkers I am, the flower tent is now @ 91.84w/sq. ft...

A few update pics before lights out.
710 mango, Blueberry Gum and the Blue Dream have started to come into their own.



Still not sure how the top of the GG isn't fried...

But it would appear temps will hold @ 78F, so the added cmh is gonna work

Thanks man.
Not sure how or why this seems to be going so smooth and easy. Basically a 180 from the way most things work for me.
But by god if I could choose 1 thing to have some good luck at...
I'm happy.

With the girls getting older, RH has slowly been on the rise and with the addition of the CMH there have developed some localized "hot spots". So, I retired a few small fans and dropped in my biggin...
4400cfm on a variac. Cranked just enough to get them to dance and sway.
Just using the small fans for specific target areas.
Still in test phase, but numbers on the display are dropping as I type.

Note to self, big plants need big fan...

7.5 oz.
Not the 10 I'm looking for, but headed in the right direction.

Hey finally I got 7 ounces off my 3 plants.

7.5 ounces from one plant that's overkill for beginning ^^ did you learn everything from internet?

Just curious and really congrats about the yield even thought it's been a while since I posted something here..

Yours looks great. Grats!

Yes.
I am 100% self taught. In 42 years I've never tried growing anything until this started last June thanks to a couple bag seeds I jokingly dared my GF to try and germinate.

Everything was learned from the interweb. I think it was 1000x harder deciphering what was good advice and what is B.S. than it is actually growing
Other than that I just keep trying to fumble my way around as best I can.

Glad to see you're back!

Got some new lumination for the veg tent. I've been running my Ipower 6k bulb for 6 months straight now with no MH backup bulb. Gonna retire her to backup status and see how this puppy works out. I've seen some video testing, and for a budget bulb, this one performed almost on par with the Eye Hortilux.

Guess we'll wait and see what the ladies have to say about it.
Going in b4 lights on this evening.

this was a fun read. I haven't done Hempy's in a long time. LOL used to use Maxibloom with them. so simple and easy. Nice grow for sure.

Finally quit being lazy and got around to trimming SW3&4

no (.) in between there btw...

Trimmings


I figure with what I've pinched and the ounce used yesterday for the RSO, I got around 424 grams dried bud.
Not the efficiency I'm looking for, but we're always improving right?

Thanks a lot man

I totally agree with you since I learned to grow the same way, it was way harder deciphering what was good advice than it is actually growing..

This summer I should do a grow outdoor so maybe I will make a grow journal about it lol.
