Bluter's Happy Home For Hilarious Hempsters

[Azimuth]

Thanks for the history! Not sure if Azi will be looking at 30 year old bags though, and their latest ingredient list has been the same for at least 4 years now.

Yeah, no. I've moved away from a peat base over to leaf mold. The LM is super easy to rehdrate, brings its own microbes to the party, and as it breaks down adds lots of minerals back into the mix that my maple and oak trees mined for me a few season ago.

So, ixnay, on the PHnay.

From seed. Popped them straight in the perlite, no soaking or anything.

in a solo cup ? it's a bit ballsy. growing from seed is the toughest part of hempy. the rest is stupid easy. welcome to the hempy side vet

it's been at least that since i moved away. it was pretty much peat / dolomite for a while before that though.
it all started because peat alone used to be a legit media on it's own. we kept amending it til someone came upon a decent formula.

then it got commercialized. promix just did it the best. sunshine is probably closer to the old diy mix though

It's a party cup. Bit smaller than a solo cup. Trust me to do something daft. One didn't work out but I got 2 of 3. Ones a week behind the other. Just topped the 2 week old one.

many apologies guys. it's not a cannabis post.

i am barely containing ... absolute. seething . anger. over the russian invasion of ukraine.

i am not ukrainian at all. where i live though has more ukrainian or direct ukrainian descendants than ukraine itself. all as result of generations of oppression. from one fucking aggressor.

i have close people with loved ones and extended family that are now in direct fire. some likely dead.

anything you can do to help, lend a voice, or donate to efforts is crucial. i'm not linking. it's super easy to get to legit humanitarian donation sites.

i don't care if this post is scrubbed for political content or i am banned.

a lot of the time they'll open under the media if you plant the seed direct. if one has popped up but the others are lagging, i will go digging for them.

it's exactly what happened on this run even though i germed them in paper towel.

here's the daily hempys guys

i waited an extra 12hrs to feed and went to full seedling strength. could be too warm for the very smallest. there was zero liquid in the media when i fed.

everyone is now working on a second set of trues. i'm about 3 days ahead of a regular seed hempy grow. i forget the math, we should be about the start of 2wks from seed drop or so.


i know it's quicker than usual buut .. whaaaa huuurrryy up man


i really wanna squeeze another quick auto run and finish before mid summer. lol.

got the temps back in line. very very dry still. i do not correct for rh. i have always adapted grow technique based on what i'm given to work with. they will be fine.

i am gonna have to be careful with the nutes when it is this dry as well. if i was running a 2 or 3 part salt based bottle nute i would not be pushing as hard with autos.

the light rig is running at 55% ramping from 25% incrementally over a wk. it's gonna hang in the 55 - 65% point til i get the next nodes in solid and they are established decent in the cups.

my timers are pissing me off. i've had an issue with the new one and am still on 24/0. i might have a better chance with the old one, which now appears to be working, but is set wrong. i wanna go to 20/4. reprogramming them all will be the job tonight after work. unless i have to shovel again, and don't fall asleep on the couch watching the news.

support ukraine. screw putin. even russians deserve to grow free of fear and tyranny too.

 

[bluter]

things are moving along

entering wk 2 above ground.
got a couple nute spots on the largest.

feeding seedling strength. probably heading to a bump next feeding. the smaller ones are starting to catch up.

that's my furthest back right now. everybody is greener under normal light.

finally got my timers sorted. i even used the old one i suspected of failing. turns out i had them plugged in to a circuit i had shut down. without power to them for an extended period, the internal battery drained. plugging them in to a live circuit for a couple days solved the issue. the dayclock still isn't synced correct between the two, will probably fix that in the next day or so.


with timers working in changed to a 20/4 sched, with the main running 18/6, and an hour of the burple on either side to reduce it to 20/4.

trying to not get overly political but it is exceptionally close to home here. of everyone i know, i am literally the only person i know without someone currently under fire. 100% of my friends have family at risk.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Looking good mate. When would you normally transplant? I worried I did mine too soon but they seemed to take to it fine.

friends over there fighting now

Brave men. I hope they come home safe.

I was in Killeen when this all hit (next to Fort Hood) there more than just my friends going over there . Those boarders should have been secured by us !

a node or two more at least by the look. the perlite is super loose in the hempy cups. i like them big enough that it's a bit more locked for up pot.

i'm not so worried about triggering them early. they act a little different in hempy. the roots don't feel as bound as in soil. an up pot or two isn't an issue.

i'm debating if i'm going in to 5L or 2 L though. if they monster on me in the 5L i'll be stuffed.

Those borders should have been secured by us !

too many hand wringers at the Eu and nato. you're right though, no one woulda dared fuck with it.

Can you do some of each or does that mess up your grow too much?

 

[bluter]

no you can mix sizes no issues. i ran one to flower in a cut off shampoo bottle along with a 2 L run cause i didn't have anyone who would take it as a clone.

i'm just shooting for a planned canopy. or hoping. sure. hoping.

 

[InTheShed]

i ran one to flower in a cut off shampoo bottle...

...that may not have been completely rinsed!

 

[bluter]

...that may not have been completely rinsed!

well there's that .. free phosphorous though ..


i had a look today and i definitely have to ramp nutes. might feed them tonight. we had 18 to 20cm of snow last night and most of the day was digging out. expecting more tonight. had the folks over for dinner last night in case i get stuck here lol

 

[Farmer Reading]

Darn shame the "Dear Orange Leader" isn't still in office.

Maybe we could make a deal with Russia where they get the Ukraine and the U.S. gets Greenland or maybe even Canadia.

Seriously, prayers out to the Ukrainian people and to "all" folks involved in this colossal shit show that is fueled by an evil egomaniac that is starved for global relevance.

Nice grow/journal.

 

[bluter]

the plants were definitely looking for a bump. noticed the start of an early def. you can see it on the leaf here

it was one of the smaller plants showing as well. i ramped everyone up to full veg nutes and fed about 12hrs early. they went to almost double what they were getting. a couple hours later the color looked better.

i'm gonna have to keep a close eye on them as they are moving faster than i anticipated. there's every possibility that i'm gonna have to ramp again in the next 24 hrs. of course i have one looking a bit more difficult than the others.

i'm getting the up pot buckets ready. thinking they are gonna get moved in the next wk at this rate.

Darn shame the "Dear Orange Leader" isn't still in office.

he was trying to get the US out of nato. there would have been no response or help for ukraine if he was in charge. he withheld military funding for ukraine, and asked their gov't to manufacture a lie to help him win another election.

it didn't work.


he and putin are of the same cloth.

putin is freaking out cause the west actually responded and armed the resistance. he thought he'd have it way easier than it is now. russia has lost more soldiers already than they did over the last 40 yrs of conflict combined.

Babies!!!

Highya bluter.

Hempy runs too fast for my ass.
Fun to see it run though.

I only look at my plants every two or three days now. I have a theory that they hate me and grow better when I'm not around.
As far as they're concerned ,I'm just their bucket whore, the bringer of water.
