i took them out with a couple h202 flushes and a hotshot.
Wanted to report back it was roots, they took a nose dive. Plants were fine for a few days, I did feed sessions as normal then this morning one was limp as wet noodles the other had more leaf damage. Water had the funk of rot so after flooding I found brown roots. Cut some out, upcanned, flooded with water & h202 for a double rinse and hit them with nutes again.
They look like shit.... the blue dream might pull thru the amnesia is a goner I bet....

if it's the hempys you can cut the bad roots off, up pot, and let veg. they'll be ugly a couple wks, but turn in to monsters.
you need to go in to a larger pot to make it happen though. cant just repot in the same size.
i've cut 2/3s of my roots off previous under the same circumstances and rebounded to one of my best harvests.

Yes the 2 perlite hempy chicks.... Aw man its encouraging to hear, that’s exactly what I did. I think the blue dream will pull thru but the amnesia looks like a wet mop. I’ve went into triage mode with weak wattage and bumped to 13 on since they were just two days into flip.
Need help please, to accomplish the upcan one went into a net pot filled with chunky perlite hanging inside a 3 gallon bucket so technically it’s now DWC style. I recall you said can transfer hempy to any other media or format. Obviously the roots are now up top since its an upcan to larger home.
Question: where does my water level need to be? Should it touch the bottom of perlite? Never did dwc so I’m assuming feed the same MC at 4 g per gallon daily like before, then later when roots hit the res I can do bucket swap for res change once a week - is that correct frequency?
I like the idea of lifting the net pot out to inspect roots. Just concerned since the bottom of the net pot rides higher in the bucket.
The other went into bigger hempy container, this was all the gear I had on hand

in dwc you top feed until they hit the res. not so sure how it will work with perlite as the media though. normally i'd recommend changing media to hydroton.
Appreciate that, hope I can salvage something!

everything is crawling to the finish. it's nothing but a big mess now.
the powerplant are in full senescence. i would have pulled them or at least started stripping if i wasn't going by trichomes. some threatened crispy, but we've dialed the nutes back another half g on the BE and they kept a grip.
the powerplant have kept more of a classic sativa bud structure. a little skinnier and not quite as full as the gorilla glue.
under nearly any other circumstance i would have started harvest on these. i might get pops to try stripping them later this wk, with a hang targeted for next wkend. they're still showing mostly milky trichomes, with just a slight bit of amber, and about as many clear as amber.
there's a super late build happening as well. this is not the late bud swell i usually see. it's kind of a 'past due' build. in the past i've taken it as an indicator of going too long, in the dark ages i'd pull them at this point. that was long before i learned about looking at the trichomes. i'm trying to push my luck a bit on this one by sticking to reading the trichomes.
the gorilla glue really built this time. even better than the first run. they almost have an indica structure, and most buds have built to the point they're now kissing the floor.
edit: note the light penetration. the light contributed to stuff lower down building really well this time.
the majority of the gorillas went big this time. even the fan wound up as support.
not recommended unless shooting for a premature trim
the whole run is putting my timing out. i work shifts with 12 - 14 day stretches. due to the nature of the grow all the major stuff needs to happen on the days i'm not working. i'm getting in to a real late harvest, with around a 120 days in flower. i'd like to pull it a wk earlier.

talk about impatience... 
i chatted with pops about a possible chop plan and he reminded me i'm about 120 - 130 days total. not flower. plus a couple wks for revegging the cuttings. so i did a quick check and he's right.
if i get a chop and hang in 10-14 days, it should put me right in the breeder's suggested window with a quick guesstimate taking a week to 10 days off for initial flip. they turn fast under lightzilla.
i'm never revegging a cutting again, or taking one so late. i might try a whole plant reveg at some time though, i'd move to a larger bucket if i do. think it would be a good experiment for hempy.

it's almost close enough lol..
i hafta to try get tomato cages for the next run before they are all gone. i tried 2 -3 places already with no luck. they sell as fast as they come in. everyone is bracing for a summer mostly at home.

confused on the pic of your steriohow many lost internet folk you think are gonna click on this looking for hipsters or hamsters ?
this will be the second 420 journal. hoping to make it the ongoing home.
will be growing hempy style. straight perlite media in either 2L or 5L buckets.
passive hydro style similar to coco.
there is a fantastic thread on the style, hempy headquarters, started by a great member @SweetSue.
recommended for those looking for more info on the method.
will be growing with Mega Crop nutrients.
it's a self-mixed single-part amino-chelate based nutrient meant for start to finish. that's a lot of hyphens.
there is an ongoing discussion on it over at the mega crop thread. read through if interested in the nutrient, and make sure to join in.
aside from the Mega Crop, we have h2o2, RO water, ph buffers, calmag, and possibly molasses in the toolbox.
will be trying to rely on the MC almost entirely. this is a test of the nutrient. will be looking to use little or no calmag or molasses.
lighting will be handled by diy cob rigs.
the veg light is a 200 watt actual draw 4 pot cob rig, with burple 5050 smds added for ramp up/down and seedling stage.
the flower light is a 12 pot 600 watt actual draw straight cob rig.
both rigs are a mix of 3000K and 3500K citizen clu048 1212's.
there are two rooms. fort st veg/clone, and the jungle room.
the jungle room currently has 5 hempys running. this journal is starting with the new crew from seed.
tour of the facilities :
this is fort st veg/clone - during shutdown and cleaning
reclaimed area under a stairwell. it still has to share with some storage. heat challenged space, note the heater. it makes for a great winter environment when the heat from the cob rig is added in. the reflective insulation is as much for heat retention as light reflection.
the light is solid (sorta) mounted. i use the shelving units to raise/lower the plants.
also easier on older backs.
control panel. i pull from a drop box and run power drops with breakers in this room. the room snaps down before the main. theoretically.
didn't have a choice on that. factually. not theoretically.
simple curtain type door. the space is built as room in room, i do all my spaces as room in room... reduces need to be extremely light tight.
the fan/filter combo circulates internally. not my first choice, but it is ok for a veg room under the present circumstances.
fort st veg/clone light.
there was no proper structure to mount anything from the ceiling. tied into what solid framing there is and compromised.
you can see the filter above the light.. the fan had to be mounted on a board previous to installing from the inside.
and the jungle room
waaay better built space. intended as a permanent install.
pic taken during the light rig upgrade. can pretty much see everything but the fan filter combo.
the power is on a dedicated circuit for the room. the reflective insulation is mostly because we didn't want to drywall and paint. there is sound deadening insulation behind the silver.
fan and filter combo...
stepped up to a phresh filter and the reduced obstruction has caused a small issue with increased negative pressure.
just living with it for now.
the jungle room is reclaimed area from an unfinished shower space. it was originally intended for more active hydro grows. we kept the drain available if ever needed.
there is a way more involved thread in my sig if anyone wants to page thru the build. i use three of the shelving units in this space as well to make a floating floor. start dropping the floor as the light rig maxes out.
jungle room at work
the two areas are literally miles apart. which makes for an interesting motoring experience at some point in the process.
here are the genetics i'm starting this journal with
dr seeds tangie, northern lights cbd, and lsd.
this is primarily a medical slanted grow. i need a couple workhorses for cbd and thc based meds. the majority will be used for canna pills and topicals. recreational will comprise the rest. northern lights is a given, but i dunno if the lsd or tangie is up to heavier lifting. i'm producing for three adults in limited space lol
also debating number of beans to drop and how many of each. either 4 or 6 to start. wanna run an 8 clone 2L hempy off this inital grow as well.
at least 50% are going to be the NL. just gotta figger the rest. i was using black indica and cbdream with decent results previous. time came for changes and new things.
gotta tag up some of the peeps who helped get me here
@SweetSue cause she is the godmom of hempy and most things med here
@DrDoob one of the first to help me figger this new thing out
@Virgin ground for the fun and killer surprised frog
@Chris Scorpio for even more fun
@InTheShed like of course, duh
@Pennywise cause is there a thread he hasn't helped ?
@Emilya cause see above ^
@Old Salt who i really wanna buy a maritime beer
@TorturedSoul for real politic not real politics
@MrSauga who went from hobbyist to holy shit before i even got my nutes figgered
@FelipeBlu the solid hempster
@Jack420 cause i need to stay abreast of cell phone posting brother
all the MC thread peeps @farside05 , @West Hippie , @Homer Simpson , @Baron Von Blurple
will cross post in the hempy headquarters and MC threads for all those i missed up
i got the home style seed incubator warming.....
help me get this started .. 4 or 6 ? whatcha think ? how many of each guys ?
lol gotta drop them tonight or tomorrow..

lol it's used as a seed incubator. the amp warms up the shelf above to the perfect temp for starting seeds.

I just bought my first bulk bag at a local co op. I couldn't believe I was paying 10$ for a couple liters worth at Walmart! Don't think I will be reusing as often anymore! Also thanks for the transplant tutorial. I didn't think about putting the roots that low in the bucket but it makes sense. My plants are always low Ryder's though so wouldn't be able to go down much further.

Made a mental note of tomatoes cages.... Not going to have weight like that for a few more grows for sure but thanks for the info like always

One last thing that I missed through the posts. Do you water in the tent or do you remove them? I take mine out one at a time. Which is doable for my size plants. But when I scale up that's not going to be an option is it?

we actually take them out to feed and work on them. i don't really like doing that, but we started out that way when i switched to hempy, and my pops prefers doing it that way.
we are stripping and chopping this wk.

plants are down. jarring this wkend. will get a couple pics.
after a month i'm pretty sure my @Weed Seeds Express order failed. i'm at the outside of the past due delivery window come monday.
with luck they'll be at the folks today or i'm gonna have to shop fast now for something. needed these a while ago. i'm probably screwed for a short summer grow. there a couple cdn suppliers i can get stuff in a wk or less, may have to go that route, but dunno if i can fit a grow in now with other summer stuff going on.
dealing international is always a pain. it's not a reflection on the supplier.
