Bluter's Happy Home For Hilarious Hempsters

Quadline and trellis! @multiVortex I like that there’s so many options to what you can do training wise. It’s fun to manipulate the plant and achieve that next level of growing!


Oh yeah! Lots of ways to get it done, and not just with training! That's why I decided to run my spare tent as a "lab" tent now. I can prick around and try all kinds of things. I need to mother up so I can have some clones to roll in there with and not burn up so many seeds. Of course I'm then stuck to a handful of strains, but if they work, they work. :D

do you have a mother tent ? don't really have the ability to run mothers right now. have done clone over clone for consecutive grows tho.
 
Technically, I do have a mother tent. I lent it out though, so can't use it for a while. At least it's going to a good cause though, and helping out someone in need that doesn't really have much to get started.

I may pick up a small tent to keep a few mothers around, or it might be a good way to start a basic cabinet project. Since mom's don't need a ton of light, etc. Could make a clone/seedling/mom box, but probably cheaper to just get a little tent. :D

good karma your way.
 
few quick pics before i have to run to work...

morning hempys...





they are loving the MC increase. should post my feed sched. i feed on a formula.

right now we are at 5.3g MC / 4.5L RO. everyone gets 750ml at feed.
using no cal-mag or anything else. ph'd to 5.8 at the feeds.
only mixing enough for a single feed as i don't have a large bucket. sometimes mix the day or night ahead to save time, but ph the day of feed.

stunty steps up




stunty has always had the best color. they've all greened a bit deeper. everyone likes the bump up. cal-mag signs disappeared, and i'm under nute tipping. probably gonna sit 5.3 - 5.4 for a couple feeds.

this stage is getting fun. can see daily progress. chopping them up for training seems almost cruel lol. but a pile are right close.. these ladies are near the window





good thing they are labeled. can't tell them apart :bongrip:


oh and weird al(exa) plantkovic is steaming along




she's officially a triclops. stages coming up whorled in threes. been spreading it out. she keeps growing back in right away lol :laughtwo:

she's taking a bit better shape with the tucking etc i have been doing. it just doesn't last. i'll get right in there with some pics in a few days. frigging odd.

don't think i got there in time to save the one big ass fan. she sorta looked to be a lighter feeder by new growth color, but still seems to be pulling from that fan
 
Bluter my long lost brother. Nice setup. Are those garbage cans from Dollar General? Just asking cuz they look exactly like the ones in my garden :). Saw a dude on the 1st page trying to bash Hempy and thought I've got to take a stand against this ignorance lol. I've been hempy for 2 years now. Tried one pot with clones against soil and got double the growth and yield compared to FFOF. I also compared the roots and it wasnt even close. Hempy killed it again. Alright then...peace out. :passitleft:

hiya @Nicholas Flamel and welcome. pop by any time.

yeah they are dollar store buckets lol. they are the bottom half of a 2L desktop trashcan they were selling.
soon as i saw them i realized the potential. also have some 5L buckets. alternate between depending.
 
I'm not really looking for anything other than experimentation for my Lab tent. Trying different styles and just tinkering with some slightly non-conventional stuff.

Like right now, I'm playing with quadlining. On the next go with it, I was thinking of trying dutch buckets. Which then lead me to think about the benefits of fabric pots, and what if about using fabric pots for dutch buckets. Of course you need something solid to hold the water in the bottom, which is the part I'm trying to work out at the moment.

Your tupperware got me thinking on it again. So far the most challenging part has been to find something I can squeeze the fabric pot into that is short enough, to allow for the water in the bottom. If I went with something like a bus tub, etc, then there would be a gap around the fabric pot, which I would want to find a way to cover. Similar to an octopot, and how its in the middle of its tub, and the top of the tub is covered.

Not real sure where I'll go with it, and maybe I end up just skipping the fabric pot part and do a normal dutch setup. Where is the fun/experimentation in that, though? :)


Have you looked at "Alaska grow buckets" sounds up your alley.


Girls look happy @bluter

Upfeed looks as it should....soldier on Stormtroopers of Green.

Thanks for that. Not quite what I'm looking for, but definitely interesting!

Need to do some comparison measurements and see what I can find. Plenty of time to look for stuff though.
 
currently in shock...
did the big chop to get ready for quad type training..




have never attempted anything this aggressive




have topped and done lst on side branches. lollipopped and caged way more established plants.
nothing like this though..

even hit the mutie hard in an attempt to get it under control




no idea on what is with the holes. thought something was munching on the leaves. been all over them with a loupe and came up with squat. still not convinced. will see if anything else happens.

everything needs to rebound and grow for a few days before starting the tie down.




the only one that escaped was stunty..





for the time being....

the current carnage




let everything grow a bit later than some would start. root zone is well established tho, and the main stalks are pretty thick.

let's see what happens.... :)
 
Did someone say cake!?!? Mmmmm...


Highya bluter.:ciao: forgot how fast those Hempy girls grow.

hi vg.
yeah put it off a coupla days and was stunned how far ahead of me they got.
