I'm not doing a scrog, so no need for a net. I will eventually be putting together a Flowamasta set-up https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/570843-flowamastas-methodology-how-grow-monster.html. For now it is just a SoG Peace!!

Spose that's the difference between a screen and sea lol.

Has anyone tried running hempy with minimal runoff and just flushing often? Flushing not that often? Hell anything at all besides the messy ass 20%?

I like to do both, flush every 17-21 days and go for around 20% runoff. This round I haven't flushed yet and only been hitting around <10% runoff as I try to figure out how much mix the new buckets take. So far bone dry 2gallon buckets take a 1/2 gallon with 10% runoff. I'm at day 6 of flower right now and I'll flush them around day 17 then take them up to around 3/4-1 gallon each.

I aerate my water and found that no runoff is actually required. I can't say the same results could be acquired w/o bubbling your water/nutrient solution first. I did minimal and sometimes know run-off on my last run and noticed no difference in yield. I think Moe had stumbled across this aswell as a few other hempyneers on this site and others. Peace!!

Thats funny Shaggn. I just finished this grow, and im also into flowermasta's grow Just modify it a bit. Have 2 65L scrogboxes ill turn into rcdwc. Gotta have two plants. Other wise ill be growing Lemon Skunk for the rest of my life, lol Just ordered me some BB Dog

Did no runoff to but i ended up with salt-buildup.

I like to water plants in an aluminum baking tray. It was like $3 or $4. Then I just dump the runoff down the drain.

yeah i use this rectangular bucket for frozen fish (from a friends girlfriend who gets free ones) with a plant tray flipped upside-down, which raises it up so that I can water a good 2 gallons of runoff before havving to re-dump the runoff into a waste 5-gal container.

3L hempys are finishing up, i've been doing a staggered harvest, and have chopped and smoked 1x purp, 1x afghangoo, and a few skunks. there are around 2 oz of mixed buds hanging now, one purp plant, 3 skunks, and "aloysius" a random name given to a bag seed (super smelly)
aloysius was a 5gallon outdoor hempy that had to be chopped 3-4 weeks early due to bud rot.

Also going on there are 4 outside compost pile plants that i upcanned into pots (to give them more sun during humidity season) that have small buds, which is good because the plant with the biggest buds (aloysius) was chopped early just in case, overall yield est. 2 1/2 oz. I first took all the big buds, and a week later took the rest , just to let it mature the extra week.

I left my little camera in my backpack in my car (girlfriend took) so i'll hook up some pictures

I have under-ferted the afghan goo and is showing some crazy colors, currently at day 67, i want to let her go to 80, as well as the skunks. In total there are 14 plants left to chop, 12 skunk, 1 afghangoo, and 1 purp.

I just got some light warrior soil to germ some ceeds, the 3 feminized big bud (nl#1xskunk#1) ceeds from vision ceeds http://www.visionseeds.co.uk/vision_seeds_en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/big-bud-feminized-cannabis-seeds-03.html

I'm putting them into soil for mothers, and plan to do a SOG hempy style grow , Mono-strain runs with the 3 moms, 1 at a time until i figure out whats best. I'd like to know what the best thing to do as far as Cloning goes, is it good to clone, and reclone the clones? or do you get better vigor for cuts straight off the seedling?

It's my first pack of real legit ceeds, and i really wanna do the best I can with them. Thanks all! By the way, everyone is doing fucking fantastic here, keeep it up~! I plan on updating some good pictures as well as my window farm!! i got the air lift to work i just need to get some plants into it! heres what a window farm is, I made mine myself (might even put some weed plants in there ) http://www.windowfarms.com/

Just use plain water every third watering (feed, feed, water). You shouldn't get any buildup then

Shaggn said:

Yield is varied, due to strain, phenol and an individuals personal skills. That being said I avg around 10+ per. During the stretch phase about every 3-4 days. Later on when they are fully into bloom it is about every other day for my set-up. My temps range between 72 - 82 on average. If the temps were running hotter, i'd assume watering more frequently would be required. As to the final height, that also plays a big role on the specific strain. I look for Indica leaning/hybrids, so usually around 18" - 24". Peace!!

Hi WOH, I'm still lurking here on a weekly basis, I also run 2l SOG and have been for about a year now... The last few yields I have been getting about 13-15g per 2L bottle. Finally getting my cloning back in order, running about 40 2L now, planning on hitting a full room of 90 2L under 2X1000W HPS soon... Taking my first round of clones off my BB and C+ seeds I ordered a month or so back so we'll see how that goes... My Snow White strain has been running really well lately..

Cheers! -Prae

Nizza I have seen window farm before and could not figure it out, PVC and maybe 2 liter bottles? What did u come up with?

Shag That's what I do too, Glad to hear someine else does too, JUst plain, first water is calmag and cns17, second feeding cal mag triflex, thrid plain water, I never store mixed water, make fresh every time.

I fired up the 600 watt HPS today as the weather is rather gloomy and won't be getting better for awhile

so i'll finish the last few weeks with the HPS/sunshine tag-team approach (if the sun ever returns)

Hey WOH, Just thought i stop by and contribute to the hempy thread and point you all towards my journal for advice, support, critique or just peek....heyy that rhymes! lol

heres the link https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/731275-fjgs-hempy-main-lined-grow.html

looking awesome ISK

heck only 90 2l's under 2x1000 I would at least squeeze 30 to 40 more if the number count isn't a issue. Also since you are only doing 90 2ls I would use 2x600 watt bulbs to save on electric and heat. Or another option would be to run 3x600's then you could run 150-160 2ls with less wattage. That's just my 2 cents.

I run the GH trio with calmag and liquid QB after week 4.. After week 3 I run 10ml micro/5-7.5ml grow/20ml bloom + 2-3ml liquid QB and 3ml calmag per gallon. I might flush once or twice during the grow, otherwise I just flush for the last 2-3 waterings before harvest. I run powdered QB the last week to harden the buds up a bit. I water until I see bubbling action out of the drain hole, mostly every 2 days but sometimes 3 based on my schedule (45-50 hours a week at my full time job). I store mixed water for two waterings to cut down on my garden time. I have had no problem with using mixed water once then finishing that mix off on the 2nd watering two days later. I just makes sure to wish the holy shit out of my water for a good minute or so to aerate.

Yeah, I am aware I could run more. I just don't have the time honestly, 90 is really my limit. I work sometimes 50+ hours a week, have a 9 month old puppy and many other priorities in my life so I can't necessarily max my yield. And I can't afford to change out my light set up at this point. I can afford the power bill and heat is not much of an issue in my region, particularly Sept-May.

ISK she is HUGE, how much longer??? can we see a close up of her buds...LOL feels strange asking that?

no close up's, she's not a mature lady as yet....I'm guessing 3 more weeks of the sunshine/HPS tag-team

Shagg, that 1st pic has a sweet optical illusion effect to it. Or maybe I am just far too gone. When I scroll down it looks like the pic starts to zoom or get bigger. Nice setup by the way. Peace

I can actually see the curvature of earths surface in that tent...always impressive Shag! Your attention to detail...amazing!

hey whocares, the windowfarm is sweet, but I think i didn't make the air lift correctly, because when the reservoir drops 2" , the air comes out under lift aerating the reservoir instead of lifting water.. when i re-make this I will be sure to take care of that issue by drilling the hole in the bottom of the res and dropping a 1/4" tube about 16" down, and then the T 4" from the bottom of the U on the lift side.. I know there are detailed instructions somewhere on how to do this setup really good but i'm still looking. I'll post up the farm when i end up painting and re-making the system, right now its ghetto status, lol

Nizza here's my observations. The seed run is special,.... the symmetry and uniform growth is beautiful and only comes from seeds. Now the 1st gen clones seem to show more vigor but without the symmetry. My thought's are that clones pick up an older genetic code from their mother ..... Starting from the age of the mother, & WHERE IT WAS CUT FROM THE MOTHER. The closer to the main stock the older the genetics, and some say the harder to clone, & I'd have to agree. A main stock clone (taking the top) from a seed, or a clone will generally have to go through a hard wilt & then recover. This clone will make the best mother because it is much older genetically. So to get back to your question, it's fine to use a clone as a mother to make many clones,
